Relationships with the other stars through the five elements
Shiroku is a Earth star. In the generating cycle it is helped by the Fire stars (Hōkaku and Chōjo) and brings out the Metal stars (Shaki and Kengyū). With Rokuzon, the other Earth star, it stands side by side; it is held in check by the Wood stars (Kansaku and Sekimon) and holds the Water stars (Ryūkō and Gyokudō) 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 Shiroku 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 your day stem controls, with the opposite yin-yang. In Four Pillars this is Seizai. If you were born close to the start of a solar month, your central star can change.
What does Shiroku 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 Shiroku corresponds to Seizai among the ten gods of Four Pillars.
What if Shiroku 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.
