Results for "how to place stars in tử vi"
Is the lunar or the solar date of birth used to place the stars in Tử Vi (Vietnamese astrology)?
The lunar date of birth is used. The placement method takes the lunar date of birth and divides it by the number of the cục (the natal cycle); the quotient is counted in order from Dần as 1 to Sửu as 12. If only the solar date is available, it must first be converted to the lunar calendar before the stars are placed.
