Xuetang (学堂)

Symbolic stars · Tendency: Auspicious

From the classics

有学堂会禄，如金长生巳，临官申，甲乙人得之……又名官贵学堂

——《三命通会》

What it means

Xuetang (学堂, the Academy) brings rich fortune when it also meets Lu, Officer-Seal, Eating God or the Post-horse; meeting Lu, Horse, Nobleman, Marvel or Virtue makes the qi pure, marking a clever scholar of conspicuous examination success. It most dreads falling on a Void or being overcome—then study yields only empty fame. Riding strength it benefits; riding decline and lifelessness, it suits only the teacher's vocation.
