Where the chart lines up
Hemingway's most loyal friend
In Paris, Fitzgerald befriended writers and artists of the American expatriate community, most notably Ernest Hemingway, then still little known, whom Fitzgerald came to admire more and more. Hemingway later recalled that, early in their relationship, Fitzgerald became his most loyal friend. In his chart, the Life Palace holds Tian Xiang (Miao). Tian Xiang is often read as keeping faith and being willing to exert oneself for others; this recollection is worth setting side by side with it.
Source ↗The Great Gatsby is published in 1925
In February 1925 (nominal age 30), Fitzgerald, then in Rome, submitted the final version of The Great Gatsby; after its publication on April 10, Willa Cather, T. S. Eliot and Edith Wharton all praised the work. In the annual Four Transformations of 1925, Zi Wei (Miao) takes Hua Ke (Transformation of Fame) and enters his natal Travel Palace. The Travel Palace covers going out and being away; Hua Ke is reputation. Finishing a book abroad and earning the praise of the literary world lines up with this palace.
Source ↗A priest encourages him to write
Fitzgerald's parents sent him to the Newman School, a Catholic prep school in New Jersey. There, Father Sigourney Fay recognized his literary potential and encouraged him to become a writer. In his chart, the Parents Palace holds Wen Chang (Xian) with Hua Ke. The Parents Palace covers elders and teachers, and Hua Ke is learning and a literary name. A teacher valuing his gift for writing lines up with this position.
