백호살
신살Strong force concentrated in a single point. Unwound well, overwhelming drive; unwound badly, the source of collisions — two-sided.
Standard definition
Spirit star of seven specific day pillars. Read as strong force condensed into one point.
FAQ
- Does White Tiger (Baekho-sal) mean I'll get hurt?
- It isn't a word that foretells injury. White Tiger marks day pillars where strong force condenses into one point — overwhelming drive when unwound well, a source of collisions when unwound badly. The fear is a residue of old interpretation's strong language; ARO reads it as a tendency.
- Is White Tiger the same as Kui Gang?
- Both are day-pillar spirit stars of strong force, but they sit on different pillars. One pillar (戊辰) falls under both and gets marked twice. What they share is the two-sided nature of condensed drive; what differs is the list of pillars and the emphasis.
