Tian Zhu (天柱), the Pillar Star, is the Qimen Dunjia (奇門遁甲) star of speech, criticism and disruption, linked to quarrels and sudden breaks.
Overview
Tian Zhu lives in the Dui (兌) palace in the west and belongs to Metal. Dui is the mouth, so this star rules loud voices: critics, debaters, whistle-blowers and gossip. It can also mean collapse, like a pillar breaking.
