Bazi Symbolic Stars: Peach Blossom, Travelling Horse, Canopy and Nobleman
Every Bazi calculator prints a row of extra names under the four pillars — Peach Blossom, Travelling Horse, Canopy, Nobleman, Goat Blade — and they are the part of a chart people remember first. They are also the part beginners overrate most: one Peach Blossom and the reading turns to romance; one Travelling Horse and it turns to emigration. This page covers what these symbolic stars (神煞, shen sha) actually are, how to look up the four you will meet most often, and where they belong in the order of reading a chart — which is after the Ten Gods, not before.
