The 1-White Star is generally positive and represents nobility, knowledge, wisdom and innate recognition. 1-White is associated with the Kan Trigram and the Water Phase. If 1-White is exhibiting its negative nature, inhabitants who are afflicted by it will suffer from lack of intelligence, depression or losing their possessions. Physically, an untimely 1-White Star can lead to insomnia, kidney problems, food poisoning, diarrhea or blood-related problems. Finally, a negatively aspected 1-White Star can cause bad reputation or a tarnished image in the public view.
Generally speaking, 2-Black is a negative Star. It is associated with the Trigram Kun and the Earth Phase. 2-Black is often called the "Sickness Star" because it is associated with health problems and ailments, especially in regard to the stomach and digestive system. It can even lead to miscarriage. Because of its association with Earth, a negative 2-Black Star can lead to property-related disasters like landslides or earthquake damage, or loss of money related to real estate investments. When it exhibits its positive nature, however, 2-Black promotes good health and wealth prospects related to property.
3-Jade is often considered the "Arguments Star" because it is negative by nature, and it tends to promote misunderstandings, arguments, legal problems and theft. 3-Jade is associated with the Trigram of Zhen and the Phase of Wood.

It is also an active, "gung-ho" Star, and can promote courage and discipline when it is positive. 3-Jade is good for those who have jobs involving movement or aggression, like sports, the police or the military. It can also be beneficial for risky endeavours in business or investments.

The 4-Green Star is negative by nature, but it is often associated with academic or literary success. It can indeed assist with academic or literary pursuits when used well, but it is somewhat of a double-edged sword, because it can also promote adultery, scandal and relationship problems. Which effect manifests depends upon the forms that are influencing the Star and the other Stars in the sector. 4-Green is associated with the Xun Trigram and the Wood Phase. Because of its association with relationships, a positive 4-Green Star is good for sales, marketing or public-relations.
The 5-Yellow Star is the most dangerous Star of the bunch, and must be regarded with great care. 5-Yellow can cause major health problems, serious financial issues like bankruptcy or catastrophic bad luck in general. If it is at all possible, sectors housing the 5-Yellow Facing or Sitting Stars should be avoided. One reason 5-Yellow is so dangerous is that it is not associated with a Trigram, so it is considered somewhat unpredictable. The Phase associated with 5-Yellow is Earth.
The 6-White Star is associated with the Qian Trigram and the Metal Phase. 6-White is generally considered a positive Star, and it promotes authority, power, nobility and respect.

Salespeople do well when they can tap into 7-Red exhibiting its positive nature.
The 8-White Star is the most important Star of the current Period, because it is in its Wang (Prosperous) Qi phase. 8-White is also a generally benevolent Star by nature, perhaps the most "friendly" Star of all. 8-White is associated with wealth and prosperity, especially that brought about through work and personal effort. However, if the 8-White Star is negatively afflicted for whatever reason, it can cause health problems for young children or problems with the limbs, spine or spinal cord. It can also cause introversion when it is negative. 8-White is associated with the Gen Trigram and the Earth Phase.
Finally, the 9-Purple Star is associated with Trigram Li and the Fire Phase. Generally, 9-Purple is neutral, but because it is timely in the current Period it is exhibiting its more positive side.
