Complete Book of Purple Star Astrology

The Ziwei Doushu Quanshu (紫微斗數全書) is attributed to the Song dynasty Daoist sage Chen Xiyi (陳希夷, Chen Tuan), with additions by his 18th-generation descendant and annotations by Nanbei Shanren (南北山人). This edition is based on a Ming dynasty Jinling woodblock print, restored with modern punctuation. The text covers the complete system of Purple Star Astrology: chart construction methods, star placement rules for over 100 stars, interpretations for all twelve life palaces, classical rhapsodies (太微賦, 玄微賦, 骨髓賦), female and children's fate analysis, advanced theoretical discussions, and practical case studies. It remains the foundational reference for Ziwei Doushu practitioners.
