Auxiliary Stars

What this means

The four classical assistants are the scholarly pair Wen Chang 文昌 and Wen Qu 文曲 (placed by birth hour) and the helper pair Zuo Fu 左輔 and You Bi 右弼 (placed by lunar month). They refine the palaces they occupy: a major star states the theme, the auxiliaries say whether it is helped, polished, or examined.
