Where the chart lines up
Rising at night to repeat her Russian lessons
After arriving in Russia she applied herself to learning Russian, rising late at night to repeat her lessons in her bedroom. In her memoirs she wrote that she decided then to do whatever was necessary and to profess to believe whatever was required of her to become qualified to wear the crown. In her chart, the Life Palace holds Tan Lang (Miao) with Hua Quan. Tan Lang is the star of ambition and wanting a great deal, and Hua Quan is holding the reins oneself: going after what she wanted on her own. That lines up with this resolve.
Source ↗Arriving in Russia at fifteen, 1744
In 1744, at the age of 15, she arrived in Russia. From nominal age 13 to 22 (1741–1750) she was in her Parents Palace Decade Luck, and in the decade's Four Transformations Wu Qu takes Hua Lu (Transformation of Wealth) and falls in her natal Travel Palace, which holds Wu Qu (Miao). The Travel Palace covers going out and leaving home; Hua Lu is opportunity and gain. In this decade the road leading outward carried Hua Lu, which lines up with her leaving home for Russia.
Source ↗A collection begun in 1764
In 1764 (nominal age 36) she bought a collection of paintings from the Berlin merchant Johann Ernst Gotzkowsky, which became the origin of the Hermitage Museum; at first the collection was housed only in the building known as the "Small Hermitage". In her chart, the Property Palace holds Tian Liang (Wang) with Hua Ke (Transformation of Fame). The Property Palace covers one's residence and family property, and Hua Ke is reputation. A household collection that became a museum fits this palace.
