Terms in this palace · Tap for a plain explanation

You are warm, talented and well liked, but your heart is easily restless.

Wanting too much and finding it hard to sit still are the main things to watch.

Stars
Tan Lang NatureYou are curious and many-talented, well liked, and you want a lot from life. With so many interests, pick one or two to go deep on.
At WangYou have energy and plenty of ideas, and pick things up quickly. But you weigh too many angles, and rushing often leads to mistakes.
Life Master Tan LangDeep down you want a lot: you are curious and love to experience things. Desire drives you; also know when enough is enough. Your Life Master sits in your Life Palace, so your thoughts often circle around yourself.
Patterns
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
Mixed SupportSan Fang Si Zheng brings in Wen Qu, Zuo Fu and Wen Chang, and also Qing Yang and Tuo Luo: you have both support and pressure in your own life. When help is there, keep your pace steady.
Transformations
Tan Lang Hua LuYou carry a natural romantic charm, many talents and a daring streak. Opportunities and goodwill come to you on their own.
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 SpouseYou’re happy to give to your partner or collaborators, and those ties are a blessing. Tend them well.
Ji to PropertyHome matters often worry you and money tends to go there. Plan big household costs ahead.
Minor Stars
Tian GuiYou are easily appreciated, and someone often gives you a hand at key moments. Make the most of every chance to be seen.
Feng GeYou have taste and ingenuity, with a keen eye for beauty and handcraft. Put that gift to use.
SiThings tend to stall. Stillness is a way of gathering strength; move when the time is right.
Xi ShenThere is a festive air, and happy things often start here. Share them and the good fortune grows.

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

Learning from a beer-hall clown

In 1920 or 1921, Brecht took a small part in the cabaret of the Munich comedian Karl Valentin, and his diaries record numerous visits to see Valentin perform. Years later, in his Messingkauf Dialogues, he named Valentin as one of his chief influences at that time. His chart shows Tan Lang (Wang) with Hua Lu in the Life Palace. Tan Lang is often read as talent and entertainment; his drawing nourishment from popular performance is worth setting side by side with this star.

The Threepenny Opera opens in 1928

On 31 August 1928 (nominal age 31), The Threepenny Opera opened at the Theater am Schiffbauerdamm in Berlin. Brecht adapted it from Elisabeth Hauptmann's translation of The Beggar's Opera, with music by Kurt Weill and sets by Caspar Neher. In 1928 his annual Life Palace moves to his natal Career Palace. The Career Palace stands for career and work, so the premiere of his work this year lines up with this palace.

Founding a company with his wife Helene Weigel

Brecht co-founded the Berliner Ensemble with his wife, the actress Helene Weigel, who was also his long-time collaborator. His chart shows You Bi with Hua Ke (Transformation of Fame) in the Spouse Palace. You Bi is often read as support from others; his partner also being his working collaborator, and the two founding a theatre company together, can be read alongside this palace.
