Ti

Ti, meaning 'Bottom' or 'Foundation,' is the fourteenth Chinese sieu, corresponding to Zubenelgenubi (alpha Librae). Ruled by Saturn, this mansion represents the dragon's chest or foundation, the structural base that supports the entire creature.

The 'bottom' or foundation imagery speaks to stability, grounding, and the essential underpinnings that make everything else possible.

Ti belongs to the Azure Dragon palace, where Saturn's structural energy reinforces the foundation imagery. The dragon's chest houses its vital organs, and Ti governs the protection and maintenance of essential systems. Saturn's rulership brings patience and durability to this critical position.

When the Moon transits Ti, Saturn's grounding energy favors foundational work: establishing structures, securing resources, and attending to the underlying systems that support your larger goals. This is a period for patience and careful construction.

The Azure Dragon (Qing Long) is the celestial guardian of the East and the season of Spring. Associated with the element Wood, the Azure Dragon represents growth, vitality, renewal, and the ascending energy of new life. It corresponds to the rising yang energy, when dormant forces awaken and begin their upward journey. The seven sieu of the Azure Dragon trace the magnificent serpentine creature from its horn (Kio) through its neck, heart, and tail, forming the most dynamic of the four celestial animals. In Chinese mythology, the dragon is a benevolent force associated with rain, rivers, and the fertile power of Spring.
