右弼 · The Right Aide · Auspicious

You Bi

You Bi (右弼) = the Right Aide, one of the Six Auspicious Stars and the partner of Zuo Fu. Being Water, You Bi is the more quick-witted, warm-hearted, behind-the-scenes helper. People with You Bi are clever and soft-hearted, well-liked and versatile, helped through life by the opposite sex and by quiet benefactors.

What does You Bi mean?

NatureAuspiciousElementWaterGovernsSupport, wit & warmth

You Bi is Water (癸水), a Northern-Dipper assistant star whose transformed nature is 'goodness' (善). Like Zuo Fu it assists, but its watery nature makes it more flexible, warmer, and more emotional — its help arrives nimbly and often works from behind the scenes. You Bi carries a little more peach-blossom, giving strong rapport and appeal to the opposite sex. As with Zuo Fu, it is all about the pair: only with both is the 'right and left hand' complete.

You Bi in your Self palace and key palaces

In the Self palace, You Bi gives a clever, warm, versatile, considerate nature, helped through life by quiet benefactors and the opposite sex. Its watery peach-blossom makes the feelings richer and the rapport excellent. Paired with Zuo Fu flanking or sharing the palace, its support is most complete. In a relationship palace it adds a warm helper — but, like its partner, amid heavy peach-blossom it can hint at a 'third person', so read the whole chart.

Notable pairings of You Bi

You Bi + Zuo Fu (the Assistant pair)

The paired Aide and Assistant are the best helper combination — flanking or sitting the Self/Career palace, they bring benefactors on both sides and easy standing. A lone You Bi is half as strong, with more visible peach-blossom and emotional ups and downs.

You Bi + Tan Lang / Lian Zhen

You Bi's watery peach-blossom, meeting romance-prone stars like Tan Lang or Lian Zhen, heightens charm and appeal — good for PR, social, and charm-driven work, but the love life needs more self-discipline.
