FAQ
Is Heavenly Virtue derived from the Year Branch?
No. The classical Heavenly Virtue method is month‑based. It uses your birth Month Branch to locate a target stem/branch. Some modern summaries confuse it with other year‑based stars; keep them distinct.
My chart doesn’t show the target — do I still get the effect?
Yes, via timing. If the target arrives in luck pillars (10‑year, year, month), Heavenly Virtue activates.
Which placement is strongest?
Day pillar is most personal. Year pillar extends to reputation/elders; Hour gives tactical responsiveness.
