Your fortune runs deep: someone usually lends a hand in hard times, and life tends to feel comfortable.

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.
Tian Tong at MiaoWith Tian Tong at Miao, you are kind and upright, with a full, healthy look. Good fortune is the background color of your life.
Tian Tong Brings BlessingClassical texts say Tian Tong is the Southern Dipper star of blessing, master of the Fortune Palace. Today, it means you know how to enjoy life and you're willing to make yourself comfortable.
For MenClassical texts say Tian Tong in the Life Palace at Miao or Wang is sure to bring a stipend and a good name. Today, it means you work steadily and earn trust, so income and reputation build up over time.“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.
Patterns
Clash from OppositeTuo Luo clashes in from the Travel Palace opposite: things are easily thrown off by outside events in your own life. Leave some margin on big decisions.
Transformations
Trines: KeShining in from the Travel Palace opposite (Tian Liang Hua Ke): people readily vouch for you and speak well of you.
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 CareerYour energy naturally goes into work, and it flows better the more you do. Look for a role you can grow in long-term.
Ji to FortuneYou often wrestle with your own thoughts and think a lot. Find something that lets you switch off.
Lin GuanThings come easily and you feel sure of yourself. Use the momentum to take one more step.
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

Working on films with Edith Head

While Mackie was working at Paramount Studios, costume designer Edith Head brought him onto the 1963 films Donovan's Reef and A New Kind of Love. He said: "Edith Head taught me not so much about designing as how to handle producers, directors, and actors." In his chart, the Parents Palace holds Wu Qu (Wang) with Hua Lu (Transformation of Wealth). The Parents Palace is often read as bosses and seniors, and Hua Lu is returns; the two can be read together.

Designing Gaynor's whole show in 1966

In 1966 Mitzi Gaynor asked Mackie to design her new stage show at the Riviera in Las Vegas, making her the first star client for whom he designed an entire show; in 1969 he designed the costumes for a television special with Diana Ross & the Supremes and the Temptations. In the Four Transformations of his Decade Luck for nominal ages 26–35, Ju Men (Miao) takes Hua Quan (Transformation of Power) and enters the natal Career Palace. The Career Palace covers work, and Hua Quan is the power to lead, which lines up with designing whole shows.

Designing for Cher and Dolly Parton

Mackie is known for dressing entertainers, and has created memorable looks for Cher, Tina Turner, Dolly Parton, Elton John and Sabrina Carpenter. At the Academy Awards ceremony in March 1986, the outfit Cher wore with a giant feathered mohawk headdress was his work. In his chart, the Friends Palace holds Zi Wei (De). The Friends Palace is often read as the people one deals with, here his star clients, and Zi Wei is often read as prestige and status, which is worth setting side by side with this.
