Constellation Kui the Legs

22♈23 to 03♉57

Those born under the Kui constellation are emotionally rich, straightforward, friendly, and warm-hearted. They pursue truth, goodness, and beauty, and are generally fortunate in life. They lack courage and perseverance, but if they let go of their stubbornness, happiness will be right beside them.

The constellation Kui consists of sixteen relatively dim stars, shaped like a shoe sole, and is considered the mouth of the White Tiger God. It belongs to the element of wood and represents the wolf. As the first constellation in the west, it signifies the celestial treasury; hence, the Kui constellation is generally considered auspicious.

When the constellation Kui is in charge, it is auspicious to set up camp, and all construction and repairs will be very successful. This day suits burials and marriages, and fields and estates will prosper day by day.

The character奎 (Kui) is defined in the Shuowen Jiezi as “between the two thighs.” The Guangya defines it as “the hip, which is 奎.” The Kui constellation consists of sixteen stars, with its left and right halves resembling two thighs. The Bu Tian Ge describes the Kui constellation as: “A slender waist and a pointed head, like a worn-out shoe, with sixteen stars circling around it.” ^[2]

Kui Advice

While it’s possible to view the world calmly at times and to demand of oneself a positive, healthy attitude in all aspects, going too far can reduce tolerance. This world exists because of darkness; only then do we know what white is. Quietly observing is also interesting.

After marriage, one is prone to becoming overly involved with one’s spouse’s family and neglecting one’s own family of origin. The fortune associated with the Kui constellation is inherited from ancestors; not only will tomb sweeping and ancestor worship bring good luck, but unconditional filial piety toward one’s parents will also bring greater prosperity. Moreover, this is what one should do.

A small number of people born under the Kui constellation are easily influenced by the atmosphere and fall into dangerous love affairs. Multiple relationships will eventually lead to self-destruction. Managing one’s desires well will bring spiritual growth. Good fortune from the opposite sex is a natural gift; ultimately, one must master forging one’s own path to truly control one’s destiny. ^[3]
