Monthly Virtue Benefactor(月德貴人)

Monthly Virtue Nobleman (Woldeok-gwiin, 月德貴人) differs from other nobleman stars: it is identified by checking whether a specific heavenly stem appears among your chart's stems, using your birth month's earthly branch as the reference.

Its name means receiving the month's virtue. It is read as the blessing of supportive people and a generous nature that soften difficult energy.
