Results for "cự môn star"
Why is Cự Môn called a "shadow star"?
Because Cự Môn carries a nature of concealment and suspicion, often tied to gossip and dispute, qualities that stay hidden and unclear, unlike the openness of Thái Dương or Thái Âm's light. However, "shadow" here does not mean purely negative; it reflects a nature that needs to be "illuminated" by auspicious companion stars to fully realize its talent for eloquence and analysis.
