The four malefic stars each have different Five Element attributes and mechanisms.
The key judgment logic is this: malefic stars entering the Life Palace are not judged as ominous in isolation — they must be combined with the major star's strength level, whether there are auspicious stars in the three supporting palaces to dissolve the malefic energy, and whether the four transformations are simultaneously activating.
Core judgment principle: The four malefic stars entering the Life Palace require a three-step assessment. Step one: look at the malefic star's own strength level (malefic stars also have strong and weak positions). Step two: look at the Life Palace major star's strength level. Step three: look at whether the three supporting palaces have auspicious stars (Zuo Fu, You Bi, Tian Kui, Tian Yue, Hua Lu) to balance the malefic energy. All three steps together yield an accurate character assessment.
