Spirits and stars · Auspicious
A noble position taken from the branch that hides the officer star of the day stem. Traditionally read as fitness for office and responsibility.
Qinding Xiejibianfangshu, volume 7 (Spirits and stars derivation): "the officer star following the day stem is the Heavenly Official Noble." Taken by day stem: Jia sees You, Yi sees Shen, Bing sees Zi, Ding sees Hai, Wu sees Mao, Ji sees Yin, Geng sees Wu, Xin sees Si, Ren sees Chou and Wei, Gui sees Chen and Xu.

In practice it reads as a note for working inside rules and carrying responsibility: public office, large institutions and roles that reward seniority tend to go better than going it alone.
Used on this site: listed as a note-only marker on the chart (it is not scored and does not change any score).
Rule of thumb: these markers are read from fixed classical tables, and the scores and advice come from a separate model. Both are laid out on the site, and neither is a claim about what will happen.
These readings follow the traditional Chinese system (BaZi / Zi Wei Dou Shu) and describe how the classics read a chart. They are not predictions and not medical, legal or financial advice, and no outcome is promised.
How is it different from the Heavenly Noble?
The lookup differs: the Heavenly Noble uses fixed tables by month branch, while this one takes the branch hiding the officer star of the day stem.
Ren days have two branches. What then?
The source lists Chou and Wei for Ren and Chen and Xu for Gui; both count as present, and this site follows that wording.
