Tian Fu NatureYou are steady and good at holding what you build, thorough and quietly confident. Holding firm is your strength; now and then, dare to move.

What the Quan Shu says about this palaceTo trace it to the source: Zi Wei is the imperial seat, and (the person it governs) is born with a solid and weighty face. Tian Fu is a venerable star, and it too gives a pure and mild build.“Xing Xing Fu” ›Tian Tong is stout and full-bodied, with fine, clear, striking eyes. Lian Zhen has wide brows, a broad mouth and a broad, fierce face; by nature violent, quick to anger and fond of quarrels.“Xing Xing Fu” ›Qi Sha is like Zilu, who would fight a tiger bare-handed and wade across a river; Huo Xing and Ling Xing are like Yu Rang, who swallowed charcoal and feigned muteness.“Xing Xing Fu” ›My Quan Shu (51 lines on this palace) ›

Where the chart lines up

Noticed by Scharnhorst at the military academy

In 1801 Clausewitz entered the military academy in Berlin, where he won the regard of General Scharnhorst. This falls in his Decade Luck for nominal ages 15–24 (1794–1803), and in the decade's Four Transformations Tai Yin (Miao) takes Hua Lu (Transformation of Wealth) and enters the natal Parents Palace. The Parents Palace is often read as elders and superiors, and Hua Lu is good connections and returns; meeting a commander who valued him can be read alongside this.

Director of the military academy after the war

After the war, Clausewitz was appointed director of the military academy in Berlin, the very school he had entered in 1801. In his chart, the Career Palace holds Wu Qu (De) with Hua Quan (Transformation of Power). The Career Palace covers career, and Hua Quan is the power to lead and decide. Running a school lines up with this palace.

Marie edited and published his writings

On December 10, 1810, Clausewitz married Countess Marie von Brühl, whom he had known since 1803. Marie was well educated and politically well connected, played an important part in both his career and the development of his thinking, and also edited and published his collected works and wrote their introduction. In his chart, the Spouse Palace has Zuo Fu. Zuo Fu is often read as support and a helping hand, which is worth setting side by side with this.
