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.
Source ↗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.

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.

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.
