廟旺利陷是什麼意思？紫微斗數的星曜亮度
作者：Wei Chun Chuang・2026-10-24
第一次看紫微斗數命盤，常會發現每顆星名字旁邊還跟著一個小字：廟、旺、利、平、陷。這組標記一般稱為星曜的「亮度」或「廟旺」。這篇說明它在講什麼、常見有哪幾級、為什麼各書不一致，以及初學該怎麼讀它。
廟旺利陷在講什麼？
紫微斗數的十二宮各對應一個地支。傳統上，每顆星在不同地支裡「得位」的程度不同——有的地支讓這顆星的特質發揮得開，有的則受限。前人把這種程度分級記下來，就形成了廟旺表。
換句話說，亮度描述的是「這顆星被講到的那些特質，預期會顯現到什麼程度」，而不是「這件事好不好」。它是強弱、濃淡的刻度，不是吉凶的刻度。
常見有哪些等級？
較常見的一組由高到低是：
- 廟——最得位，特質表現得最完整。
- 旺——相當得位。
- 得地（有些書寫作利）——尚可。
- 平——平常、不特別。
- 不得地——受到限制。
- 陷——最不得位，特質較難完整展開。
要注意的是，等級的數目和名稱並不統一。有的傳本只分四級（廟、旺、利、陷），有的分到六、七級，「得地」與「利」在不同書裡也不一定指同一格。看到命盤上的標記，先確認它用的是哪一套刻度。
陷不是壞預兆，廟也不是保證
這點值得單獨講清楚。落陷常被誤讀成「這個宮位不好」，但依其原義，它說的是這顆星在這個位置比較不容易把它的特質完整表現出來，可能顯得使不上力、起伏較大、要繞路。那是一種描述，不是一個結果。
同樣地，入廟不等於事情一定成。一顆星表現得完整，也包含它的過度之處會一併放大。把廟旺讀成「程度」而不是「評分」，比較接近它原本的用法。
廟旺表是從哪裡來的？
這些對照表出自歷代的紫微斗數古籍與抄本，在流傳過程中各自調整，彼此並不一致。同一顆星在同一個地支，不同書可能給出不同等級；有些星在某些書裡甚至不標亮度。這種分歧是真實存在的，不是誰算錯。排盤軟體會依它採用的那一套印出標記，所以不同工具的結果可能不同。
初學者怎麼讀亮度？
建議當成「第三個線索」：
- 先看這是哪一宮（討論的是哪個領域）。
- 再看宮裡有哪顆星（特質是什麼）。
- 最後看亮度（這些特質預期顯現到什麼程度）。
亮度補的是語氣的強弱，它本身講不出內容。單看一個「陷」字下結論，等於跳過了前兩步。
常見問題
- 星曜落陷是不好的意思嗎？
- 不是。落陷描述的是那顆星的特質比較不容易完整顯現，不是凶兆；入廟也不是保證。亮度只說明表現程度，不是結果判定。
- 為什麼不同的書給的廟旺不一樣？
- 廟旺表來自不同的古籍傳本，等級的數目與名稱本來就不統一，有的分四級，有的分六七級。同一顆星在同一個地支，兩本書可能標不同等級，這是來源差異。
- 初學要背廟旺表嗎？
- 不需要背。排盤工具會直接標出來。初學時先認得符號、知道它在講表現程度，再和宮位與星曜本身一起讀就夠了。

What do the brightness levels of stars mean in Zi Wei Dou Shu?
作者：Wei Chun Chuang・2026-10-24
Looking at a Zi Wei Dou Shu chart for the first time, you will notice a small label next to each star name: Miao, Wang, Li, Ping, Xian. This set of labels is usually called the star's brightness, or its Miao-Wang grading. This article explains what it describes, which grades are commonly used, why books disagree, and how a beginner should read it.
What is being graded?
Each of the twelve palaces corresponds to an earthly branch. Traditionally, a star sits better in some branches than in others: some let its described qualities open out, others constrain them. Earlier readers recorded that degree as a grade, and those records are the brightness tables.
In other words, brightness describes how fully the qualities attributed to a star are expected to show. It does not describe whether something is good or bad. It is a scale of degree, not a scale of fortune.
Which grades are commonly used?
One commonly used set, from highest to lowest:
- 廟 — best placed; the qualities show most fully.
- 旺 — well placed.
- 得地, written 利 in some books — adequate.
- 平 — ordinary, unremarkable.
- 不得地 — constrained.
- 陷 — least well placed; the qualities are harder to express fully.
Note that the number of grades and their names are not standardised. Some transmitted versions use only four (Miao, Wang, Li, Xian); others use six or seven, and "De Di" and "Li" do not always refer to the same step from one book to the next. When you see a label on a chart, check which scale it belongs to.
Xian is not a bad omen, and Miao is not a guarantee
This is worth stating on its own. Xian is often misread as "this palace is bad", but on its own terms it says that in this position the star has more trouble expressing its qualities fully: it may read as effort that does not land, as larger swings, as taking the long way round. That is a description, not an outcome.
Equally, Miao does not mean something will succeed. A star expressing itself fully also expresses its excesses fully. Reading brightness as degree rather than as a score stays closer to how it was used.
Where do the tables come from?
These tables come from the classical Zi Wei Dou Shu texts and manuscript copies, each adjusted as it was handed down, and they do not agree with one another. The same star in the same branch may be graded differently in different books, and some books do not grade certain stars at all. The disagreement is genuine, not a matter of someone miscalculating. Chart software prints whichever table it follows, so different tools can show different labels.
How should a beginner read it?
Treat it as the third clue:
- First, which palace is this (which area of life is under discussion)?
- Then, which star is in it (what qualities are described)?
- Last, the brightness (how fully those qualities are expected to show).
Brightness adds emphasis; on its own it carries no content. Drawing a conclusion from the single word Xian means skipping the first two steps.
常見問題
- 星曜落陷代表不好嗎？
- No. Xian describes a star whose described qualities are expected to show less fully. It is not a bad omen, and Miao is not a guarantee. Brightness speaks to degree of expression, not to outcome.
- Why do books disagree about brightness grades?
- The grading tables come from different classical texts, and the number and names of the grades were never standardised; some use four levels, others six or seven. The same star in the same branch can be graded differently from one book to the next.
- Do beginners need to memorise the tables?
- No. Chart tools print the grade for you. At the start it is enough to recognise the labels, know they describe degree of expression, and read them alongside the palace and the star itself.
Practise with an app
To see these labels on your own chart, SHILAI Ziwei is an iPhone course app that teaches you to read Zi Wei Dou Shu. It is still being built, is not yet released and cannot be downloaded. If you want to look at a chart now, the free web version, SHILAI Ziwei on the web, needs no login: it lays out the twelve-palace chart with its stars and comes with 36 lessons you can read in order.
