This star governs inner loneliness and alienation; those with the Solitary Star should actively expand their social circles and cultivate hobbies to dispel loneliness. In the Year Pillar, it indicates ancestral solitude or lack of familial affection during childhood; in the Month Pillar, few friends and difficulty finding a true confidant during youth; in the Day Pillar, shallow marital bonds or a solitary character; in the Hour Pillar, loneliness in old age and weak offspring connections. The Solitary Star is most favorable when neutralized by the Heavenly Noble or Red Phoenix, which can alleviate loneliness. If seen together with the Widow Star as the 'Solitary Star and Widow Star,' loneliness is more severe, indicating a life of solitude. Males with the Solitary Star are said to克制 their wives; females with the Solitary Star are said to克制 their husbands.
