Yuanchen (元辰)

Symbolic stars · Tendency: Inauspicious

From the classics

元辰者，别而不合之名。阳前阴后，则有所屈，屈则于事无所申；阴前阳后，则直而不遂，于事暴而不治，难与同事，故谓之元辰。若岁运临之，如物当风，动摇颠倒，不得宁息。不有内疾，必有外难。

——《三命通会》

What it means

Yuanchen (元辰) is the spirit of yin-yang discord, parted and unjoined; for a yang-male or yin-female it takes the position one ahead of the clash, for a yin-male or yang-female one behind. It governs a life of unrest and upheaval; even amid wealth and honor there is much exile and ill fortune. One who meets it is of plain, rough form and perverse temper, and it is especially ill in the major or annual luck—a decade to be feared.
