Tian Qin (天禽), the Center Star, is the Qimen Dunjia (奇門遁甲) star of the middle palace, linking all the others and standing for balance, leadership and integration.
Overview
Tian Qin belongs to the Center (中) palace and to Earth. Because the center has no door of its own, it usually "borrows" a palace (most often Kun) and travels with Tian Rui. It holds the whole chart together.
It is a stable, fair-minded star. In the life simulation, it is the guild master who keeps the party together.
