Tian Ji (Heavenly Secret Star) holding major star is one of the Tai Yangs in the twelve palaces most likely to create illusions.
major star in Exaltation: Siblings Are Talented, But You May Not Be the Main Character
When major star occupies Tian Ji (Heavenly Secret Star) and is in Tai Yang (Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei palaces, with Wu palace being strongest), according to San Fang Si Zheng (Three Harmonies & Four Cardinals) theory (line 624): 'When in exaltation with auspicious stars in Tian Ji (Heavenly Secret Star), siblings attain distinction, and...'
Key point: When major star is in exaltation in Tian Ji (Heavenly Secret Star), siblings are distinguished and capable, but the emotional depth often stops at 'admiration' rather than 'mutual reliance'—this is the nature of major star's universal love; it's not that they don't love you.
When major star falls into debilitation (Shen, You, Xu, Hai, Zi, Chou palaces, with Zi palace being most debilitated), or in a night-born person holding major star, the situation is clearly different. 'major star in Tai Yang and night-born persons have many sibling quarrels and discord'—this has its logic from the perspective of astrological symbolism: when major star is in Tai Yang, the outward appearance is loyal and honest but the inner self is relatively subjective and impulsive; applied to Tian Ji (Heavenly Secret Star), siblings appear to get along but each harbors their own ideas and coordination is difficult. Added to major star's afflicting nature of 'regardless of Tai Yang status, easily having sporadic emotional closeness with those nearby,' even when affection is not bad, distance naturally increases—a job transfer, a life stage of each building their own family is enough to slowly reduce Tian Ji (Heavenly Secret Star) major star sibling bonds to nothing but seasonal greetings.
Daytime conflicts: Each with their own opinions, discussions about family matters easily turn into arguments.
- Nighttime distance: Each busy with their own lives, daily emotional connection becomes harder to maintain as adults.
- Silent affliction: No major conflict, yet like two independent stars each running its own orbit.
- When Malefic Stars Also Appear: Affliction Goes Beyond Quarrels
If Tian Ji (Heavenly Secret Star) with major star further encounters the four major malefic stars (pattern, pattern, Tai Yin (Moon Star), chart pattern), void and robbery, or Heavenly Punishment, according to San Fang Si Zheng (Three Harmonies & Four Cardinals) theory: 'Those with malefic stars, void and robbery, and Heavenly Punishment are governed by sibling affliction.' In astrology, affliction is not necessarily literal harm—more often it is a fate-level misalignment: siblings with deep affection but long-term separation, or at critical moments both have the heart but not the capacity to be each other's pillar. I've personally seen such a Siblings Palace: the older brother was the most accomplished in the family, famous outside, but ask him for a practical favor and he was too busy. The brightest star is also the most distant one.
The silent harm: no major conflict, yet like two independent stars, each orbiting alone.
