Seven regulators

Also called: four remainders, qi zheng si yu

七政四餘 (qi zheng si yu), 'the seven regulators and four remainders', the Chinese system that reads where the planets ACTUALLY ARE, as Western and Vedic astrology do. The seven regulators are the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn; the four remainders are calculated points nobody can see: 紫炁 Zi Qi, 月孛 Yue Bo, 羅睺 Luo Hou (the ascending lunar node) and 計都 Ji Du (the descending one). It is a different system from BaZi, which reads the calendar and no planets at all.
