Results for "Kình Dương and Đà La"
Why is Lộc Tồn always flanked by Kình Dương and Đà La on both sides?
Because Kình Dương and Đà La are placed in relation to Lộc Tồn rather than placed independently: one star stands in the palace immediately before, and one star stands in the palace immediately after the palace that holds Lộc Tồn. Whether the direction is clockwise or counterclockwise also depends on whether the person is male or female and born in a yang or yin year. Therefore, once you know where Lộc Tồn is, you can immediately work out its two adjacent palaces.
From the article “What Is Lộc Tồn, Why Does Every Chart Have It, and Why Is It Always Flanked by Kình Dương and Đà La?”
