Life Palace

You tend to clash head-on with authority, and pressure makes it worse.

Terms in this palace · Tap for a plain explanation

You tend to clash head-on with authority, and pressure makes it worse.

Rein in your temper so you are not the one who pays for it. Po Jun Hua Lu sits here too, so real gains still come in through the friction.

Stars
Zi Wei NatureYou carry the bearing of the Emperor Star: you like to make the call and keep the whole picture in view. You shine most when you have capable people around you.
Po Jun NatureYou are willing to tear down and rebuild, unafraid to start over. Breaking new ground is your gift; see things through to the end as well.
Zi Wei–Po JunYour drive to tear down and rebuild gets stronger here. Putting it into reform and new ventures pays off far better than butting heads with people.
Qing Yang at MiaoClassical texts say Qing Yang at Miao is tough and decisive, able to win achievement by force. Today, it means you dare to push hard, but put safety first when you are in a hurry.“The Nature of Qing Yang”
Life Master Ju MenYou are naturally inclined to ask why and do not believe things easily. Think it through before you speak, and your words carry weight. Your Life Master sits in your Friends Palace, so your thoughts often circle around your circle of friends.
Body Master Tian XiangThe older you get, the more you value fairness and balance, and you often end up as the mediator. Do not look after everyone else at your own expense. Your Body Master sits in your Travel Palace, so much of your later effort goes into travel and social settings.
Patterns
Jun Chen Qing Hui (Emperor and Ministers Meet)The Emperor Star has both assistants at its side: you are suited to leading people and can find those willing to follow. The bigger the role, the better you perform.Classic pattern
Sha Po Lang (Killings, Breaker, Wolf)Your Life Palace sits on the Sha Po Lang line: life moves in big swings and you rarely sit still. Change is your fuel, but always leave yourself a way back.Classic pattern
Lu Feng Jie Kong (Lu Meets Jie Kong)A Lu star falls in Jie Kong: you can see the gains but they are hard to pocket. When a chance comes, take what is concrete; do not leave it at the planning stage.Later pattern
Transformations
Po Jun Hua LuYou can't sit still, and the more you stir things up, the more you gain. You have plenty of drive to start things; remember to keep a way out for yourself.
This part follows the Flying Star school: where this palace's stem sends its transformations. It is a different method from the classical reading above.
Lu to SiblingsThe palace stem sends Tian Ji Hua Lu into your Siblings Palace: when things go well here, the benefits show up with your peers too.

The Life Palace is about: Who you are at the core: your temperament and innate makeup. Every chart reading starts here.

Where the chart lines up

Composure became his hallmark

As a boy Ashe trained under Dr. Robert Walter Johnson, who taught him sportsmanship, etiquette and composure, told him to return every ball that landed within two inches of a line, and never to argue with an umpire's decision; that composure later became an Ashe hallmark. In his chart, the Travel Palace holds Tian Xiang (De). The Travel Palace covers how one conducts oneself out in the world, and Tian Xiang is often read as courtesy and a sense of proportion; the two are worth setting side by side.

Wimbledon champion in 1975

On July 5, 1975 (nominal age 33), Ashe, seeded sixth, beat the defending champion Jimmy Connors in four sets in the Wimbledon final to take the title; it was the first Wimbledon final contested by two Americans since 1947. In the annual Four Transformations of 1975, Zi Wei (Miao) takes Hua Ke (Transformation of Fame) into his natal Life Palace. Hua Ke is reputation, and in the Life Palace the fame settles on the man himself, which lines up with this championship.

Founding the ATP and leading it

During the 1972 US Open, worried that men's professional prize money was not keeping pace with the sport's growing popularity, and wanting to protect players from promoters and associations, Ashe backed the founding of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), and in 1974 he was elected its president. In his chart, the Friends Palace holds Ju Men (Wang) with Hua Quan (Transformation of Power). The Friends Palace covers fellow players and the crowd, and Hua Quan is the upper hand, which lines up with his leading the fight for players' rights.
