Zi Wei Dou Shu · Glossary
Brightness
In Zi Wei Dou Shu, each star has a brightness rating depending on which palace it occupies.
What this means
Brightness levels (Miao, Wang, De, Li, Ping, Bu, Xian, Luo) determine how strongly the star expresses its qualities — a bright star is powerful and beneficial; a fallen star is weakened.
In practice
In K A X A N T A, brightness is one of the concepts The Architect cross-references when synthesising your reading. The zi wei dou shu engine surfaces it alongside seven other wisdom traditions so you can see how the same question reads through multiple lenses.
