Hand-placing the Tian Fu group requires more than memorizing eight names. Confirm the Tian Fu starting point from the already placed Zi Wei star using the chosen calculation rule. Then follow the earthly-branch order, which may not match the visual direction of an app screen.
Place Tian Fu, Tai Yin, Tan Lang, Ju Men, Tian Xiang, Tian Liang, and Qi Sha in sequence. Leave three slots before Po Jun. Write the branch and step number for each placement. Finally check the eight-star group, the total of fourteen major stars, the Zi Wei–Tian Fu axis, and the expected opposite position of Qi Sha. If a check fails, return to the starting point or skipped slots before reading meanings.
