| Lian Zhen | Principle and passion: competitive and driven. |
Lian Zhen (Liêm Trinh) is often called one of the most complex main stars in Zi Wei Dou Shu. "Lian" means integrity and "Zhen" means uprightness, so it stands for principles and self-discipline, yet it also carries strong passion, competitiveness and charm. Its element is Fire, hot and intense. Traditionally it is also called the "prisoner star", a star where self-imposed rules and an inner fire live side by side.
Lian Zhen in the Life palace
People with Lian Zhen in the Life palace have clear personal principles and pursue goals hard once they set them. They are competitive, gain energy from a challenge and have a magnetic side. Their feelings run hot, likes and dislikes are clear, and they rarely back down when their pride is hurt.

How companion stars change it
Lian Zhen pairs with Tian Fu, Tian Xiang, Qi Sha, Tan Lang or Po Jun. With Tian Fu its passion is shaped into steadiness and strength in management; with Tian Xiang its sense of principle and responsibility stands out. With Qi Sha drive and decisiveness become very strong, and with Po Jun a taste for change and adventure grows. With Tan Lang sociability and desire increase, and tradition treats this as a pair that needs self-restraint.

In the Travel palace, a person often wins a place through lively competition outside.
Lian Zhen and the four transformations
