Peach Blossom (桃花殺): what it means and whether your chart has it
Cautionary star (sal)How it is found
If any of your four pillars has one of these branches — 子 Zi (Rat), 午 Wu (Horse), 卯 Mao (Rabbit), 酉 You (Rooster) — the star is present. Classical texts count it from the year or day branch (by its three-harmony group); many modern perpetual calendars simply flag these branches wherever they appear. LotusSaju uses the latter.
