Relationships with the other stars through the five elements
Kengyū is a Metal star. In the generating cycle it is helped by the Earth stars (Rokuzon and Shiroku) and brings out the Water stars (Ryūkō and Gyokudō). With Shaki, the other Metal star, it stands side by side; it is held in check by the Fire stars (Hōkaku and Chōjo) and holds the Wood stars (Kansaku and Sekimon) in check. In a real reading, how stars get along also depends on their positions and their combination with the twelve subordinate stars.

FAQ
Who has Kengyū as their central star?
People for whom the hidden stem of their birth month’s branch is, seen from their day stem (the heavenly stem of their birth day), the element that controls your day stem, with the opposite yin-yang. In Four Pillars this is Seikan. If you were born close to the start of a solar month, your central star can change.
What does Kengyū correspond to in Four Pillars?
Both the ten main stars and the ten gods are set by the element and yin-yang relationship between the day stem and another stem. So Kengyū corresponds to Seikan among the ten gods of Four Pillars.
What if Kengyū is somewhere other than the chest?
The same star shows itself in different areas of life depending on where it sits. The head is read as how you are with superiors, the belly with juniors, the right hand at home, and the left hand in the outside world.
