Mansion Yi the Wings

23♍41 to 10♎42

The twenty-two stars of the Wing (翼) constellation are shaped like outstretched wings of the Vermilion Bird and are associated with the fire element and the snake. It is called the “Music Bureau of Heaven” and oversees court music, drama, sacrificial music and folk art. At the same time, Yi also symbolizes diplomacy and cultural exchange. Yi “hosts distant guests” and “brings barbarian guests,” symbolizing its conceptual role in ancient diplomacy, ethnic integration and cultural exchange.

In folk belief, later generations of artists worshipped the Winged Star God (also known as “Little Child Star” or “Old Man Star”). He is depicted as a white-faced child with a slight beard and is regarded as the patron god of opera, dance and other artists. ^[1]

Winged Fire Serpent

The Wing Mansion is auspicious, ruled by the day, with wealth entering the house every year. All construction projects will be profitable, and descendants will be wealthy and own land. ^[2] It is suitable for building houses, walls, markets, cities, towns, and carts, and digging moats. Engaging in agriculture, commerce, planting, and marriage are all auspicious. ^[3]

Those born under the Wing constellation are strong, steady, self-assured, responsible, down-to-earth, hardworking and not ostentatious. They are gentle and romantic, desire harmony and pure love, like helping others and dislike competition and conflict.

The Wing gives talent in art, music, dance, literature and diplomacy. It favors travel and foreign countries. Suitable careers include performing arts, cultural dissemination, and international trade.

However, Wing people can be stubborn and inflexible in handling work, opinionated, sharp-tongued, critical and strict with others, which can cause hatred and trouble. Some may be poor throughout their lives, so they should practice self-improvement and do good deeds. If they work hard, they can achieve great success in any industry.

Wing people are generally healthy and take care of themselves to prevent disease, but they may be prone to colds and throat, trachea and lung diseases. They should pay more attention to their liver and gallbladder, maintain a regular lifestyle, and avoid drinking alcohol. ^[2]

Wing Advice

When you are lucky in the Wing constellation, you often leave home to pursue hard-to-achieve dreams. However, you may also leave important people behind. The situation at home may not be so good. Sometimes, you may need to settle things around you before embarking on your journey to your dreams. Would that make things easier?

Some Winged individuals, because they enjoy and yearn for a lavish lifestyle and a higher realm, spend exorbitant amounts of money on luxurious items that don’t match their current status. Those around them mistakenly believe they are extremely wealthy, but they must maintain this facade because they are placed on such a high pedestal. This situation is destructive and keeps Winged individuals from realizing their dreams. They must control themselves and not let the pursuit of their dreams turn into short-sighted vanity.

Pay attention to accumulation. The biggest fear for those born under the Wing constellation is that, while they may have a wide range of activities and care for those around them, become extremely busy and gain fame, they fail to accumulate wealth. Instead, their overly assertive nature, while earning respect, creates distance between them and others, leaving them to endure hardship alone. Those born under the Wing constellation need to focus on accumulating wealth in their daily lives and learn to relax. When needing help from others, they shouldn’t push themselves too hard. Giving others the opportunity to contribute also gives them the chance to express love. ^[3]
