Life Palace

You're blunt and quick to stand up for others, yet often get little thanks for it.

Terms in this palace · Tap for a plain explanation

You're blunt and quick to stand up for others, yet often get little thanks for it.

With malefic stars here, don't go it alone, and look after yourself first.

Stars
Tian Liang NatureYou are mature beyond your years and protective, often the one others lean on. Help without lecturing, and people warm to you more.
Challenging Stars PresentWith malefic stars here, your kindness is easily misread and you meet resistance. Before helping, ask whether you can actually carry it.
Liang–Tong in Si/HaiClassical texts say a man with Tian Liang and Tian Tong across Si and Hai tends to drift and roam. Today, you love to play and settle slowly, so once you choose a direction, stick with it.“Star Combinations: Tian Liang”
Life Master Wu QuDeep down you are practical and hardworking, and you believe only results count. Leave some room for feelings too. Your Life Master sits in your Health Palace, so your thoughts often circle around body and mind.
Patterns
Shuang Lu Jiao Liu (Double Lu Exchange)Lu Cun and Hua Lu both sit in the trines of your Life Palace: you have more than one source of income, from your own work and your network, and it grows the more you tend it.Later 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
Helpful TrinesSan Fang Si Zheng brings in Zuo Fu, Tian Kui and Tian Yue: you have help and resources in your own life, more than this palace alone suggests.
Transformations
Trines: LuShining in from the Travel Palace opposite (Tian Tong Hua Lu): resources back you up.
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 FriendsThe palace stem sends Po Jun Hua Lu into your Friends Palace: when things go well here, the benefits show up with your friends too.
Ji to ChildrenThe palace stem sends Tan Lang Hua Ji into your Children Palace: when it comes to your own affairs, your concern often ends up with children and younger people.
Auxiliary Stars
Lu CunYou're practical and careful, know how to build up savings and are used to carrying everything yourself. Steadiness is your strength, and letting people get close now and then won't cost you.
Minor Stars
Tian GuanYou have good fortune and standing, and people often look after you and treat you with respect. Cherish it; do not take it for granted.
JueThings often break off and then reconnect. When you are stuck, set it aside for a while; the turn usually comes later.

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

Writing a number one for his brother Andy

In 1976 Gibb wrote "I Just Want to Be Your Everything" for his younger brother Andy and also sang backing vocals on it; it became Andy's first number one single in the United States. His chart shows Tian Liang (Xian) in the Life Palace. Tian Liang is often read as the star of looking after others and helping them up. His writing a hit for his younger brother is worth setting side by side with this star.

Back to Britain and a contract in 1967

Early in 1967 the Bee Gees returned to the United Kingdom; on 24 February they passed a live audition with Robert Stigwood, then signed with his company and released their first international album, Bee Gees' 1st. Gibb was in the Decade Luck for nominal ages 22–31 (1967–1976), and in the decade's Four Transformations Zi Wei (De) takes Hua Ke (Transformation of Fame) and enters the natal Siblings Palace. The Siblings Palace stands for brothers, and Hua Ke is reputation; the two can be read together.

Moving to Miami and finding the falsetto

At the start of 1975 the Bee Gees moved to Miami at Eric Clapton's suggestion to make a new album with producer Arif Mardin at Criteria Studios; that year's Nights on Broadway was the first song on which Gibb sang in falsetto. His chart shows Tian Tong (Miao) with Hua Lu (Transformation of Wealth) in the Travel Palace. The Travel Palace stands for going out and changing places, and Hua Lu is gain, and the move to Miami can be read alongside it.
