Sheng nian si hua
生年四化, the birth-year four transformations. The heavenly stem of the year someone was born sends 祿 (Prosperity), 權 (Power), 科 (Fame) and 忌 (Trouble) onto four particular stars, wherever in the chart those stars happen to sit. They are a fact about the person rather than about the placement, which is what distinguishes them from 自化.
