In Ziwei Doushu, the palace degree of each star is determined based on its radiance, and names such as “temple”, “prosperity”, “peace”, “earth”, “leisure”, and “depression” are used to judge good or bad luck. The following is a detailed discussion about the “flat” and “idle” in Ziwei Doushu:

flat
Meaning: In Ziwei Doushu, “Ping” means that the brightness of the star gradually weakens and it is in a very ordinary environment. At this point, the auspicious star’s auspiciousness is weak, while the ominous star gradually begins to show its ferocity.
Influence: When the auspicious star is in a “flat” state, its good luck and auspiciousness will be relatively weakened, but it still has a certain positive effect. When the malevolent star is in a “flat” state, its ferocity will begin to manifest, but it may not cause too much harm yet.
Idle
Meaning: “Idle” also refers to a state where the brightness of the star is weak, which also means that the star is in a very ordinary environment. Similar to ‘flat’, auspicious stars have weak auspicious qualities in their ‘idle’ state, while ominous stars are even more ferocious.
Impact: In a state of “idleness”, auspicious stars may not be able to exert their maximum auspicious effect, while ominous stars may bring some adverse effects. But compared to the state of being ‘trapped’, the ferocity of ‘idle’ is relatively small.
comprehensive analysis
In Ziwei Doushu, “Ping” and “Xian” both indicate that the stars are in a normal or weak state, and the auspiciousness of auspicious stars will weaken, while the ferocity of ominous stars will increase.
Different stars will have different performances and influences in their “flat” and “idle” states. Some stars are particularly good when the temple is prosperous, such as the Four Evil Stars Qingyang, Tara, Mars, Bell Stars, etc., which can greatly reduce their ferocity when in the temple position. And some stars may be able to fully utilize their strengths when in a “depressed” position, such as the Heavenly Beam, Heavenly Machine, and Giant Gate.
When analyzing a destiny chart, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the prosperous, calm, and idle states of each star and their interaction relationships to infer a person’s fate and good or bad fortune.

In short, in Ziwei Doushu, “Ping” and “Xian” are both descriptions of the brightness of stars, and they have certain reference value for judging good or bad luck. However, it should be noted that Ziwei Doushu is only a predictive tool and cannot completely determine a person’s fate. When viewing the results of Ziwei Doushu, one should maintain a rational and objective attitude.
