Star 1
Star 1, White Water, also known as Tan Lang. It governs career, recognition and clarity of mind. In Period 9 it's considered the next prosperous star, and its importance grows as 2044 approaches.
What the star means
The 1 is linked with water, movement and reputation. In the palace where it lands, the tradition expects promotion at work, recognition and fortunate acquaintances. The 1 and 4 pairing is especially valued: this combination is called the study star, and it's sought for a study or a child's room.
When it's favorable
Moderately at present, and growing toward the next period. In the facing palace, the 1 strengthens everything connected with money and public life.
How to activate it
With water and metal: metal nourishes water. An aquarium, a fountain, mirrors, light and blue tones. It's important that the water be moving and clean — in the tradition, stagnant water is considered a symbol with the opposite meaning.
What to avoid
Burying it in earth: earth dams water. Large ceramic pieces, heavy stone countertops and ochre tones in this palace weaken the 1.
