Someone gives you a hand.

Working steadily is the most reliable thing of all.

Stars
Tai Yang NatureYou are warm and love looking after people, giving without keeping score. When you shine this much, save some light for yourself.
Auspicious Stars PresentSomeone helps you pull things together. You do not have to fight alone.
By BranchClassical texts say a woman with Tai Yang in reverse harms her spouse and children and is fit only to be a concubine. Today, it means you can come out the loser in love and family, so secure your standing and independence first.“The Nature of Tai Yang”
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 Property Palace, so your thoughts often circle around home.
Patterns
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
Clash from OppositeLing Xing 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: QuanShining in from the Career Palace (Ju Men Hua Quan): you push with more force.
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 HealthThe palace stem sends Lian Zhen Hua Lu into your Health Palace: the effort you put in here tends to pay off in body and mind.
Self Hua JiYou tend to pile the pressure on yourself and overthink. Saying it out loud takes half the weight off.
Auxiliary Stars
Lu CunYou're practical and careful, know how to build up savings and are used to carrying everything yourself. Steadiness is your strength, and letting people get close now and then won't cost you.
Minor Stars
Xian ChiYou have a hard-to-name pull and know how to set a mood. Charm is a gift; how far to take it is your call.
Ba ZuoYou are easily pushed into the spotlight, with chances to be nominated or appointed. Once you are up there, staying steady matters more than showing off.
SiThings tend to stall. Stillness is a way of gathering strength; move when the time is right.
Bo ShiBrains and insight work best. Think it through before you speak, and your words carry weight.

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

Clumsy letters, brilliant maxims

Scholars of her correspondence have found that Chanel the letter writer was clumsy, while Chanel the writer of maxims was very talented; the Chanel sayings printed in magazines are thought to have been polished together under the guidance of the poet Pierre Reverdy. In her chart, the Life Palace has Wen Qu (De). Wen Qu is the star of eloquence and witty phrasing: saying something beautifully in a single line fits the maxims she left behind.

Her sister and aunt modelled for her

When she opened a shop in Deauville in 1913, two family members gave her full support: her sister Antoinette and her aunt Adrienne, who was close to her in age. The two were recruited as models, walking around the town and along the boardwalk every day in her designs to advertise Chanel's work. In her chart, the Siblings Palace holds Po Jun (Ping) with Hua Lu (Transformation of Wealth) and Wu Qu (Ping). The Siblings Palace covers siblings and peers, and Hua Lu is help and returns: family pitching in matches this combination.

Ju Men with Hua Quan in the Body Palace, the Career Palace

She used jersey, a fabric then mostly used for underwear, to make high fashion, and brought the little black dress into the vocabulary of fashion. She once declared: "I imposed black; it's still going strong today, for black wipes out everything else around." In her chart, the Career Palace holds Ju Men (Xian) with Hua Quan (Transformation of Power), and this palace is also the Body Palace. Hua Quan in the Career Palace means holding the reins at work and setting the rules, which lines up with her turning these designs into trends.

Buying 31 rue Cambon in a Property Palace decade

In 1918 she bought the building at 31 rue Cambon in Paris, and by 1919 had set up her couture house there; in 1921 she launched the perfume Chanel No. 5. These years fall in the Decade Luck of the Property Palace (nominal ages 34–43), and the decade's Zi Wei (Wang) takes Hua Ke (Transformation of Fame) back in the natal Property Palace, which is the decade's Life Palace itself. The Property Palace covers property and premises, and Hua Ke is reputation: the house was established and its name spread, in keeping with these transformations.
