A daily hint from this site that changes every day (Japan time).Strengths and things to watch
Your strong points are cooperation, bringing people together and relationships between equals. These are what people rely on you for.
Going along with others so much that your own opinion gets lost. Keeping this a little in mind will make your strengths work even better.
Love and partnership
You like relationships that feel like a friendship between equals. Love often grows naturally within a group, through introductions or gatherings. You can be so considerate of everyone that you never say what you really feel, so when you’re alone together, speak clearly and the bond will deepen.
Getting on with people
You get on with people of every age and position, and often end up holding the group together. Because you value your companions, you can build a small wall against people outside the circle. Invite new people in one at a time and your world will widen.
Work and what suits you
Sekimon is the star of cooperation, building a circle. Your strengths come out most in work in a team or among a circle of people. Given a role that uses your cooperation, you’ll be valued more by those around you.
How Sekimon shows itself in each position
The body star chart holds five of the ten main stars. Even the same star shows itself in different areas of life depending on where it sits.
| Position | Stands for | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| Head (north) | Parents and superiors | You can talk to superiors as equals and easily build companion-like relationships with parents and bosses. |
| Chest (centre) | Your core | This is the central star introduced on this page. It shows your true nature, the place you return to when you are unsure. |
| Belly (south) | Children and juniors | You treat children and juniors like friends and naturally welcome them into the circle. |
| Right hand (west) | Spouse and home | At home you pull the family together as one team and tend to create a lively household. |
| Left hand (east) | Siblings, friends and the outside world | Out in the world you know a lot of people, and the role of connecting them often falls to you. |
Relationships with the other stars through the five elements
Sekimon is a Wood star. In the generating cycle it is helped by the Water stars (Ryūkō and Gyokudō) and brings out the Fire stars (Hōkaku and Chōjo). With Kansaku, the other Wood star, it stands side by side; it is held in check by the Metal stars (Shaki and Kengyū) and holds the Earth stars (Rokuzon and Shiroku) 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 Sekimon 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 same element but the opposite yin-yang. In Four Pillars this is Gōzai. If you were born close to the start of a solar month, your central star can change.
What does Sekimon 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 Sekimon corresponds to Gōzai among the ten gods of Four Pillars.
What if Sekimon 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.
