The Four Palaces of the Sky
The Chinese sky is divided into four palaces, each containing seven of the twenty eight lunar mansions. Each palace corresponds to a cardinal direction, an element, and a constellation totem: the East Azure Dragon (Wood), the North Black Tortoise (Water), the West White Tiger (Metal), and the South Vermilion Bird (Fire). This mansion belongs to the West White Tiger, whose elemental signature shapes its underlying energy.
