Horizontal Paths


Strangely, the 7 luminaries made up 3 distinct paths along the horizon. These paths are relevant to the movement of the sun and the moon as will stop at each stations marked by the static stars. These stations are known as the 28 lodges, further group into 4 categories known as the 4 celestial beasts, each governs the four cardinals respectively.

Needless to say, the 28 lodges also have its personification of its respective deities in the Daoist pantheon governing the auspiciousness of the relevant sector in relation to the visits of TaiYang (sun) and TaiYin (moon). Will such often seen as the basis of date selections?
