20. The Turtle Beak Lunar mansion

Загрузка...

The Turtle Beak Lunar mansion 嘴 (Zui)  is the twentieth in a series of 28 constellations in Chinese astronomy. Since the constellations represent the places in the sky where the Moon "resides" every night, they are also called the "28 Lunar Mansions", "28 Lunar Houses", in Chinese: 28 Xiu. The Beak is also the sixth, penultimate lunar mansion in the Western Palace, the Great Mansion of the White Tiger Bai Hu.

It is believed that this very small triangular constellation represents the beak of a turtle. In some sources (for example, Sima Qian) it is simply called "Turtle", but has nothing to do with the Black Turtle of the North. Zui is also considered the head of Orion-Shen (apparently, the ancient Chinese astrologers "cut off" Orion's head for the same reasons that tore off the Eastern Wall-Bi from the Shi Palace: it was necessary that the Western Palace of Heaven have seven lunar mansions, as in all the other three Palaces) or the White Tiger of Autumn and the West. According to Sima Qian, these three stars in the head of the White Tiger of the West protect herds of cattle and flocks of birds. Since the herd is guarded by the shepherd, then in a broader sense, Zui-Beak rules people who are under protection or in need of it - children, especially orphans, decrepit old people, hostages, prisoners and those in danger. Modern Chinese astrology adheres to a different symbolism. Nowadays Zui foretells punishment and exile, and, in the year of the Tiger, impoverishment, murder or condemnation to death. But all this is understood not as a fatal inevitability, but rather as a result of wrong actions that can and should be avoided

Zui Lunar mansion is considered negative, and this day is not recommended for important matters and undertakings. On the days of this constellation, you must be extremely careful in your behavior.

"Day of great evil. Any business brings misfortune."


A person born under this constellation never acquires a permanent place of residence, and in old age, misfortunes become even greater. But if there is a heart that cares about good, and also practices replenishing the lack of Virtue-De, he, on the contrary, gains balance, peace, happiness and well-being.
