Descended From the Stars: The 28 Lunar Mansions
As early as some 2,400 years ago, the lid of the lacquer chest from the Tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng, excavated in Hubei, already bore the complete twenty-eight mansions — and this set of mansions is the very foundation of the Eastern astrology of Seven Regulators & Four Shadows.
Recognizing Yourself in the 28 Mansions
Each of us can recognize ourselves in the twenty-eight mansions, and follow them to understand the course of our own fate.
The Old Idea of Descending From the Stars
Because behind the twenty-eight mansions lies an old idea — “descended from the stars” (星宿下凡; see Stellar Embodiment): each one of us actually came down to be born from a distant mansion.
And through the Subtle Discernment Periods — this system of major periods — when you will meet whom, and what will happen, can all be worked out one by one; even your parents, relatives and friends were already in resonance with you up in the heavens before they walked into your life.
