White Tiger 白虎大殺
White Tiger is read as a warning to take care with haste and accidents. It applies to the Gap-jin, Eul-mi, Byeong-sul, Jeong-chuk, Mu-jin, Im-sul, and Gye-chuk Day Pillars.
What White Tiger means
The Great White Tiger star means being bitten by a tiger, and in the old days it was the most feared of the unlucky stars, a sign of bloodshed. But we no longer live in an age when tigers harm people, so today it is read as hasty, strong energy and great drive. In jobs that use strong energy, such as surgeons, soldiers, and athletes, it is seen as a source of strength.
How to find White Tiger in a chart
It is set by the Day Pillar. Seven Day Pillars are White Tiger: Gap-jin (甲辰), Eul-mi (乙未), Byeong-sul (丙戌), Jeong-chuk (丁丑), Mu-jin (戊辰), Im-sul (壬戌), and Gye-chuk (癸丑). Some books also count White Tiger in other pillars, but this site looks only at the Day Pillar, where its force is greatest.

Check my chartPeople with White Tiger
People with the White Tiger star have strong, hasty energy. Once they decide, they move right away and are fearless about most things. Many grow calmer in a crisis, and they are fiercely competitive. When emotions run high, their words can come out harsh.
In love
In love, you go straight ahead. When you have feelings, you don't hide them, and in a relationship you prefer clarity to push and pull. Fights can easily blow up, so the habit of stepping away for a moment when you are angry protects the relationship.
Work and career
You shine in work that uses strong energy: medicine, firefighting, the military and police, sports, surgery, maintenance, and construction, fields that use body and decisiveness together. Even in office jobs, your ability shows in high-tension work such as crisis response or negotiation.
Things to watch
With such hasty energy, watch for accidents and injuries. Check once more than usual when you drive, exercise, or handle sharp tools. In years when White Tiger is hit by a clash or punishment, you are told not to rush big decisions. Keeping up with your health checkups is also a way of handling White Tiger.
Common questions
Will I have an accident if I have the White Tiger star?
We don't state it that flatly. That was how old books put it, and today it is read as hasty, strong energy. If you put that energy to use in your work and look after your safety, White Tiger becomes drive.
Is there a Day Pillar that counts as both White Tiger and Kui Gang?
Mu-jin (戊辰) and Im-sul (壬戌) are counted as Kui Gang too in some books. Here they are treated only as White Tiger, and Kui Gang covers only the four Day Pillars from Yuanhai Ziping. So the two stars never show up together on the same Day Pillar.
