Tianchu Nobleman (天厨贵人)

Symbolic stars · Tendency: Auspicious

From the classics

食神逢禄号天厨，冲克空亡官煞无，死绝运临偏印地，寿星合处福交孚。食神月上号天厨，人命逢之富有馀，切忌枭来明减福，最嫌冲去暗消除。

——《三命通会》

What it means

Tianchu Nobleman (天厨贵人) takes the Eating God meeting Prosperity (Lu): a true Tianchu has the Eating God on the month pillar meeting Lu-food. It marks ample food and clothing; it dreads the Owl spirit seizing food, clash and the Void, and the Partial Seal in a dead-or-extinct luck phase—when the Fortune Star joins, blessing follows. An auspicious star.
