Classical Text
Po Jun belongs to Water, the seventh star of the Northern Dipper, governing the Spouse, Children, and Servants palaces. In Zi-Wu it enters its temple; in heaven it is the killing qi, in destiny it is the waste star — thus it transforms into waste. It makes people violent and cunning, their nature crafty, few close to them, quick to harm others.
Po Jun dwelling with Zi Wei loses its authority; meeting Tian Fu it turns crafty; joining Zi-Tan it becomes a thief. Only Tian Liang can restrain its evil, only Tian Lu can dissolve its madness. If a woman meets it, she marries without a matchmaker, losing her virtue and drifting.
