FAQ
Is Monthly Virtue derived from the Year Branch?
No. The classical method is Month Branch–based. Yearly Virtue (天德贵人) is a separate star that uses the Year Branch.
Do I need the exact Month Branch if I only know my animal sign?
Month Branch is more precise than the zodiac animal alone. Use a converter to confirm your birth Month Branch before applying the table.
What if none of my natal stems match the Virtue stem?
Look for it arriving via luck cycles (10‑year, annual, monthly). External timing can still activate Monthly Virtue.
Which pillar placement is strongest?
Day pillar feels most personal, followed by Month and Hour. Year extends the benefit to public perception and elder networks.
