Life Palace in Rabbit, Earth 5

Your Life Palace

It sits in Rabbit, on a Yin Earth stem, and that pair is what gave you the Earth 5 bureau. What landed in it:

the Strategist Tiānjī Prosperity

Motion and calculation. Quick, restless, good at plans and at seeing three moves ahead, and inclined to change the plan again before the first one has finished.

the Great Gate Jùmén

The mouth. Argument, scrutiny, doubt, and a real gift for saying the thing nobody else will; also the star most often blamed for trouble that started as a remark.

The Body Palace fell on your Career palace. Where the Life Palace is read as what a person is, the Body Palace is read as the part of a life they build into, and the tradition pays it more attention in the second half of a life than the first.

Your four transformations

Selected by your birth year's stem, Yin Wood. Nothing moved; four stars already on your chart acquired a second reading, and this is where a practitioner would look first.

What is on this chart, and what is not

On it: the twelve palaces with their stems and branches, the five element bureau, all fourteen major stars, the four support stars, the four transformations, and the decade limits. Not on it: the several dozen minor stars a practitioner would add, and the annual, monthly and daily layers stacked over a natal chart when someone asks about a specific year. Nothing above contradicts a fuller chart. There is simply less on it, and we would rather tell you which is which than let a partial chart pass for a complete one.

You will also notice there is no paragraph here telling you what your life will be like. That reading is a judgment a person makes after looking at the whole chart at once, and a machine-written version of it, assembled from one star in one palace, would be worth what it cost.

The same birth data drives the other systems here: your bazi four pillars, which weighs the elements rather than placing stars, and your kua number, which turns the year into a trigram and eight directions. Every placement rule behind this page, with the tables to check it by hand, is in how to calculate a zi wei dou shu chart.
