Altars of goddess worship are usually arranged with Bixia at the center and two goddesses at her sides, most frequently the Lady of Eyesight and the Lady of Offspring.Ann Elizabeth Barrott Wicks. Children in Chinese Art. University of Hawaii Press, 2002. . pp. 149–150; some goddesses are enlisted in the note 18 at p. 191 A different figure but with the same astral connections as Bixia is the Qixing Niangniang ( "Goddess of the Seven Stars"). There is also the cluster of the Holy Mothers of the Three Skies ( Sanxiao Shengmu; or "Ladies of the Three Skies", Sanxiao Niangniang), composed of Yunxiao Guniang, Qiongxiao Guniang and Bixiao Guniang. In southeastern provinces the cult of Chen Jinggu () is identified by some scholars as an emanation of the northern cult of Bixia.J. Hackin.
