THE ADVANCED · SIHUA FLYING-PALACE METHOD
Flying-Star Zi Wei Dou Shu (四化飞星派) is the advanced way to read a Purple-Star chart — where the San He school reads the stars, the Flying-Star school reads the transformations. It uses the Four Transformations (四化) to make the twelve palaces fly into one another: each palace's stem shoots its own Lu, Quan, Ke, and Ji into other palaces, turning a still chart into a living web of cause and effect — who owes whom, where affinity comes from, where the result lands. This six-page series, from 'what is Flying-Star' to 'how to read', walks you through the whole skeleton of the school.

| San He 三合派 | Flying-Star 飞星派 | |
|---|---|---|
| Reads | Stars · brightness & nature | Transformations · 四化 flights |
| Structure | Trine palaces (static triangle) | Palace-stem flights (directed) |
| Best at | Character bedrock · chart grade | Relationships · motive · timing |
| In a line | 'Which star are you' | 'Who pulls on whom' |
Not either-or: most readers use San He for the bedrock, then Flying-Star for the dynamics.
Flying-Star Zi Wei Dou Shu (飞星派) is the advanced reading method centred on the Four Transformations. Rather than star brightness, it has each palace's stem fly out its own Lu/Quan/Ke/Ji to link the others — reading a static chart as dynamic cause and effect. It stands beside the star-and-formation San He school as one of the two great systems.
San He reads the stars — brightness, nature, the static formations of the trine palaces; Flying-Star reads the transformations — palace-stem flights and dynamic causation between palaces. San He covers the personality bedrock and a chart's grade; Flying-Star covers relationships, motive, and timing. They complement rather than oppose.
It is usually advised to ground yourself in San He first — the 14 main stars, the twelve palaces, the trine structure — then step up into Flying-Star. Skipping that base leaves you with motion but no meaning.
Its four-transformation mechanism roots in 《紫微斗数全书》, its flying method descends from the Qin-Tian four-transformation lineage (钦天四化), and it was systematized in modern form by Liang Ruoyu (梁若瑜) — the Origin Palace, centrifugal/centripetal self-transformation, and palace-stem flights were all popularized through him.
Hua Ji. The Ji is the 'cause', marking attachment, entanglement, and where energy snags. The maxim is 'read by the Ji, chase the Ji first' — follow where it flies and you catch the thread of the whole story.
