Character Star
(Getsumei-sei)The star governing your birth month, heavily influencing your inner emotions and your youth.
The Character Star (Getsumei-sei) is the Nine Star determined by the specific month of your birth. If the Principal Star is your 'outer shell' and adult self, the Character Star is your 'inner child' and subconscious emotional core.
This star exerts its strongest influence from childhood up until around age 18. During youth, the traits of the Character Star often completely overshadow the Principal Star. As you mature, its outward influence fades, but it continues to dictate your hidden emotional reactions, private habits, and the way you act when your guard is completely down.
For a truly precise and nuanced reading, especially regarding mental health or deep romantic compatibility, astrologers must analyze the interplay between the Principal Star and the Character Star.
