# 餓鬼道 (Hungry Ghost Realm)

- **中文 / Chinese:** 餓鬼道
- **Palm stars 對應掌中星:** 天孤

A past life as a hungry ghost — craving, lack or solitude; learns contentment, to forge good bonds and to give rather than grasp.

In the Palm Sutra the **Year pillar** star points to the realm a person is said to have come from, colouring their innate nature (根性). The stars assigned to this realm are: [天孤](../stars/gu.md). Cast a reading at <https://localpapa.com/tools/yizhang.html>.
