Stellar Soul (The Seven Stars of the Northern Dipper)

The Ziwei Star is known as the "Master of Destiny." Since ancient times, scholars have regarded the Ziwei Star as the "Emperor Star," so those whose life palace is governed by Ziwei are said to possess the bearing of an emperor. Ziwei is also called the North Star, and its other name is the Imperial Star, signifying a lifetime blessed with the support of influential benefactors.

The seven stars of the Big Dipper revolve around the North Star throughout the four seasons. If we imagine the sky as a funnel, then the Ziwei Star is the very tip of this funnel. People who are surrounded by others as the stars surround Ziwei are believed to be born under the fate of Ziwei descended to earth. The scope of this influence varies—one may become the head of a family, or, if born into a nation, its king. The Imperial Star brings noble assistance throughout life.

In modern terms, the seven stars of the Big Dipper are known as Dubhe, Merak, Phecda, Megrez, Alioth, Mizar, and Alkaid. In ancient times, they were called Greedy Wolf, Giant Gate, Preservation of Fortune, Literary Curve, Integrity, Martial Tune, and Army Breaker.

The mark of a Star Soul is a black patch scattered with twinkling stars, and at its center is a large, striking white character for "soul."
