In Ziwei Doushu, “borrowing stars” is an important concept, especially when encountering empty palaces, borrowing stars has become a commonly used technique. The following is a detailed discussion on borrowing stars in Ziwei Doushu:

1、 The Concept of Empty Palace and Borrowing Stars
Konggong: The Konggong in Ziwei Doushu refers to a palace without the fourteen Zhengyao (Ziwei, Tianji, Sun, Wuqu, Tiantong, Lianzhen, Tianfu, Taiyin, Greedy Wolf, Giant Gate, Tianxiang, Tianliang, Seven Kills, and Breaking the Army). The Empty Palace is not completely devoid of stars, but lacks the influence of these major stars, so its power is relatively weak.
Borrowing Stars: When there is an empty palace in the destiny chart, in order to make up for its lack of power, the main star of the opposite palace can be used to substitute, that is, “Borrowing Stars to Secure the Palace”. This technique believes that although the empty palace itself does not have a regular star, its influence can be enhanced by borrowing stars from the palace.
2、 Techniques and principles of borrowing from Xing’an Palace
Technique: The specific technique of borrowing from Xing’an Palace is to borrow all the main stars of the empty palace to enhance the power of the palace position. For example, if both the Brothers’ Palace and the Wealth Palace are empty palaces, one can borrow the Tian Tong Tian Liang from the Servants’ Palace and the Lian Zhen Greedy Wolf from the Fu De Palace to fill these two empty palaces.
principle:
Not all empty palaces need to borrow stars. Before borrowing a star, one should first observe whether there are small stars such as the Six Lucky Stars and Six Evil Stars inside the empty palace, as well as the situation of the Three Harmony Palace. The interaction between these small stars and their palace positions will also have an impact on the empty palace.
The borrowed starlight is not directly “moved over”, but is influenced by the nature of the palace starlight. Therefore, when borrowing stars, it is necessary to consider the temple prosperity and depression state of the Palace Star Yao, as well as their mutual relationship with the Empty Palace.
Borrowing from Xing’an Palace is not a fixed technique. In practical applications, it is necessary to flexibly apply according to the overall pattern of the horoscope and the specific position of the uterus.
3、 The Influence and Interpretation of Borrowing Stars
Enhance Strength: By borrowing the Star Palace, the power of the Empty Palace can be strengthened, allowing it to play a certain role even in the absence of the main star. This helps to improve the balance and coordination of various positions in the natal chart.
Change nature: The borrowed starlight will have an impact on the nature of the empty palace. For example, if an empty palace originally lacked auspicious stars and borrowed stars were auspicious, it may make the palace position more auspicious. On the contrary, if the borrowed item is a malevolent star, it may bring adverse effects.
Comprehensive judgment: When interpreting the horoscope, it is necessary to consider the influence of the Borrowing Star Palace and the situation of other palace positions. We cannot simply assume that borrowing stars is necessarily good or bad, but need to make a comprehensive judgment based on specific circumstances.
4、 Precautions
Avoid excessive dependence: Although borrowing from Xing’an Palace is a commonly used technique, excessive dependence should also be avoided. When interpreting a fortune telling chart, other factors such as good luck and passing years also need to be considered.
Flexible application: Borrowing from Xing’an Palace is not a fixed rule, and it needs to be flexibly adjusted according to specific situations in practical applications. For example, in some cases, it may be necessary to consider the mutual influence of multiple uterine positions simultaneously to make more accurate judgments.

The technique of borrowing stars from the opposite palace in Ziwei Doushu is an important way to enhance the power and change the nature of the empty palace by borrowing stars from the opposite palace. When using this technique, it is important to pay attention to the importance of flexibility and comprehensive judgment.
