Tian Xiang is the minister: the star of the official seal, of service rendered well, of making systems work. It leads by supporting — the indispensable second.
Its law is reflection: Tian Xiang takes the color of what surrounds it. Good stars around it, it serves good; difficult stars, and it dutifully serves those too.
