In plain words
Fourteen major stars go into twelve palaces, so some palaces hold two; the text also calls this sharing a degree. When reading, name both stars rather than picking one; this app does not judge which matters more.
What the text says
Volume 2 has a line on Wu Qu sharing a degree with Lian Zhen. The passage is about the five elements; here only the term is borrowed, not the reasoning.
Compare with your own chart
Find which palaces on your chart hold two major stars. If none, the app says so; then use the example.
An everyday example
Wanting continuity and wanting a new method can coexist. For two stars, understand each cue and ask how they cooperate or pull apart; two pasted descriptions do not explain a configuration.
Identify where the two cues overlap and where they may pull apart.
CHECK YOURSELF
Now, try it yourself.
Answer both questions correctly to complete the lesson. The original explanation appears after each answer.
