Terms in this palace · Tap for a plain explanation

Tian Tong at Miao with auspicious stars brings deep good fortune.

People often lift you up, and you can catch chances when they come. Tian Tong Hua Ji sits here too, so there is always one knot in this area that's hard to let go of.

Stars
Tian Tong NatureYou are easygoing and content, and you know how to find your own fun. You seek harmony first; when it is time to push, do not ease off too much.
Auspicious Stars PresentClassical texts say Tian Tong with helpful stars brings a long life. Today, it means your body and mind rest on a steady base, you let things go easily, and your days run long and even.“Star Combinations: Tian Tong”
For WomenClassical texts say a woman with Tian Tong meeting helpful stars becomes a lady of rank, capable and a boon to her spouse and children. Today, it means you run a home well, and your partner and children are lifted by you. Classical texts also say a woman with Tian Tong in Si or Hai is beautiful but given to lust. Today, it means your looks and personality draw people in, so set your own boundaries in love first.“The Nature of Tian Tong”
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 Career Palace, so your thoughts often circle around work.
Transformations
Tian Tong Hua JiYou tend to keep the mood soft while pushing your own needs to the back. Learn to want things properly first, and then you can receive the sweetness.
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 FortuneYou know how to live well, and doing what you love can bring in money. Your interests are worth building on.
Self Hua QuanYou’re used to deciding everything yourself, and your mind is made up fast. On big things, hear one more view first.
Ke to CareerAt work you stand on expertise and reputation. Certifications and further study help you a lot.
Ji to CareerYou tie yourself tightly to work and do everything personally. Learning to delegate takes you further.
Minor Stars
Gu ChenYou are good at being alone and used to working through things by yourself. When someone asks how you are, try telling the truth.
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

The Feminine Mystique is published in 1963

On February 19, 1963 (nominal age 44), W. W. Norton published Friedan's The Feminine Mystique. The book became a bestseller and is widely credited with sparking second-wave feminism in the United States. In the annual Four Transformations of 1963, Ju Men (Miao) takes Hua Quan (Transformation of Power) and enters her natal Career Palace. The Career Palace covers career and work, and Hua Quan is weight and command: her writing gained real weight that year, which fits this palace.

First president of NOW

In 1966, Friedan co-founded the National Organization for Women (NOW) and was elected its first president. The founding group gathered in her hotel room to form the new organization, and on a paper napkin she scribbled the acronym "NOW". In her chart, the Friends Palace holds Zi Wei (De). The Friends Palace covers friends and like-minded allies, and Zi Wei is often read as taking the lead and holding first place. Serving as first president among a group of allies can be read alongside it.

Falling for poetry at Smith College

In her second year at Smith College, Friedan became interested in poetry, and many of her poems were published in campus publications. In her chart, the Fortune Palace holds Tai Yin (Miao) with Hua Ke (Transformation of Fame). The Fortune Palace covers interests and inner life, and Hua Ke is a literary name. An interest in writing poetry that turned into published work matches this palace.
