Terms in this palace · Tap for a plain explanation

You have drive and authority and dare to make decisions.

This life will likely ask you to go through some hardship.

Stars
Zi Wei NatureYou carry the bearing of the Emperor Star: you like to make the call and keep the whole picture in view. You shine most when you have capable people around you.
Qi Sha NatureYou have drive and nerve, the boldness of the General Star. Before you charge ahead, know your way back.
Zi Wei and Qi ShaYou are decisive and don't back down easily. That fierce streak is kept in check, so you won't be too rash.
For MenClassical texts say Qi Sha in a man's chart brings authority. Today, it means you can hold real power and keep a room in hand.“Star Combinations: Qi Sha”
Life Master Ju MenYou are naturally inclined to ask why and do not believe things easily. Think it through before you speak, and your words carry weight. Your Life Master sits in your Children Palace, so your thoughts often circle around children and younger people.
Patterns
Sha Po Lang (Killings, Breaker, Wolf)Your Life Palace sits on the Sha Po Lang line: life moves in big swings and you rarely sit still. Change is your fuel, but always leave yourself a way back.Classic pattern
Mixed SupportSan Fang Si Zheng brings in Tian Yue, Tian Kui, Wen Chang and Wen Qu, and also Huo Xing: you have both support and pressure in your own life. When help is there, keep your pace steady.
Transformations
Zi Wei Hua QuanYou carry a natural presence and tend to stand at the center and make the calls. The more you're respected, the more you can carry the room.
Trines: Ke · JiShining in from the Travel Palace opposite (Tian Fu Hua Ke) and the Wealth Palace (Wu Qu Hua Ji): people readily vouch for you and speak well of you; when things stall over there, they stall here too.
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 ChildrenThe palace stem sends Ju Men Hua Lu into your Children Palace: what your effort brings often ends up with children and younger people.
Ji to WealthYou tend to worry about money and whether there’s enough. Steady income suits you better than big risks.
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.

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

Self-taught from fourteen, with his own targets

At 14, Truffaut decided to educate himself, setting two goals: to watch three films a day and read three books a week. In his chart, the Life Palace holds Zi Wei (Wang) with Hua Quan. Zi Wei is the chart's ruling star, the star of deciding for oneself, and Hua Quan is holding the reins, which lines up with his deciding how to learn and setting his own homework.

Ten César Awards for The Last Metro

His 1980 film The Last Metro received 12 César nominations and won 10, including Best Director. This period falls in the Decade Luck of the Career Palace (nominal ages 44–53), and the decade's Po Jun (Xian) takes Hua Lu (Transformation of Wealth) back in the natal Career Palace, which is the decade's Life Palace itself. The Career Palace covers work and career, and Hua Lu is returns, which lines up with this film's results.

Recognition in Britain and the United States

Truffaut's Day for Night won him the BAFTA Award for Best Film and the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film; he also acted in Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), playing the scientist Claude Lacombe. In his chart, the birth-year Tian Fu (De) with Hua Ke (Transformation of Fame) falls in the Travel Palace.
