In this series entitled 'Polestar Astrology' (also known as Zi Wei Dou Shu or Purple Star Astrology), Liu Ming teaches how to create and read a Chinese Polestar Natal Chart according to the Song Dynasty system of Astrology.  The entire course was taught over 2 years and comprises 46 class recordings (124 hours of lecture in total) with PDF class notes for study and reference.




What is Polestar Astrology?
The Chinese Tradition characterizes Nature / The World / Humans as a single interconnected on-going cyclical patterning of self-arising and self-resolving movement.  This patterning of movement is termed ‘qi’ (pronounced chee) in the Chinese Tradition and has no English language equivalent.  Due to qi's tendency to be cyclical and repetitive in nature (like the unending constant changing of day to night / night to day or the 4 seasons), it becomes possible to name and characterize qi.  Chinese Astrology developed as a means to describe and interact with the on-going flavors of movement (qi) using imagery and mathematics (e.g. 12 animals / 5 elements).  

**It is important to understand the imagery of the 12 zodiac animals and 5 elements are simply a metaphoric language describing the facets and flavors of change itself; the real nature of our experience is a constantly unfolding, non-solidified, un-abiding movement of qi.  The profundity of the Chinese Tradition is found in the direct experience that everything is in a constant process of change (qi) - as opposed to the particulars (names) of what qi is changing into.**

Chinese Polestar (Natal) Astrology looks specifically at the qi of an individual’s character and fate pattern.  An individual, having arisen into the world with countless other beings and things at a particular moment when qi was patterned in a particular way, patterns those individuals accordingly.  Using the Polestar Astrological language, we can look at a persons birth time and get a sense of how their patterning is pre-disposed to unfold.  

Polestar iPad App
Darren Gibbs and Liu Ming developed a Polestar Chart iPad Application which uses birth-time to automatically create a Polestar chart.  Also included in this App are the class notes associated with this lecture series.  To view the App Support Website and to Download the App visit here: http://darrengibbs.info/Polestar/

and its 10 it's very important to
understand that we should not be looking
for the sordid
evolution have something you know that
that the universe is
somehow logically mechanical Romans were
the first ones to really think that
a minute and anything the Greeks gave
them
substantiated taken throughout and then
the Germans and the british blonde
home so we have this code Western idea
the world's a big mission and
make really amazing machines yeah
'em the fact is the chinese never
thought
the world was machine because it takes
two steps in one direction
stops takes a left and then changed its
mind goes right
reasonable so forward doesn't really
make any sense
as the only direction to go in
so even the 12 animals or
at 10 stems don't kinda March
uphill back down units and the kinda
dogleg terror
but they are a sequence on
and they're used parallel two sequences
that do all kinds of different things
so you should be ready for never
understanding this
head in that kinda and nail it down
German
way this this not gonna get nailed down
yep
is dead again that she had to resort
back to the cosmology
the over actually looking citizen
movement and
even the appearance is a somewhat
fanciful
not real so we should be in that sense
serving movement itself and maybe not
expecting it
to tell us everything by its appearance
