Terms in this palace · Tap for a plain explanation

You have plenty of drive and dare to break new ground, but your pace easily goes off track.

Open too many fronts at once and both money and energy get drained.

Stars
Po Jun NatureYou are willing to tear down and rebuild, unafraid to start over. Breaking new ground is your gift; see things through to the end as well.
At WangPo Jun is at Wang in Chen or Xu. Your drive is more likely to turn into real results.
With Huo XingClassical texts say Po Jun meeting Huo Xing or Ling Xing means rushing about and toil. Today, it means you can't sit still and take on everything, so put rest into your schedule.“Star Combinations: Po Jun”
Life Master Lian ZhenYou carry a firm inner yardstick and strong emotions. When principle and passion live side by side, you shine. Your Life Master sits in your Spouse Palace, so your thoughts often circle around love.
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
Transformations
Po Jun Hua QuanYou tend to tear down the status quo and start over, and only your word counts. You have plenty of drive; keep some strength for wrapping things up.
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 CareerYour energy naturally goes into work, and it flows better the more you do. Look for a role you can grow in long-term.
Ji to FriendsThe palace stem sends Tian Ji Hua Ji into your Friends Palace: when things stall here, it often shows with your friends as well.
Minor Stars
Gua SuYou are good at being alone and used to working through things by yourself. When someone asks how you are, try telling the truth.
Feng GeYou have taste and ingenuity, with a keen eye for beauty and handcraft. Put that gift to use.
ShuaiEnergy is winding down, which favors holding ground over charging ahead. Steady work actually lasts longer.
Qing LongGood news and unexpected gains come often. Be ready to catch opportunities when they arrive.

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

A taste for colossal ideas

In 1855–1856 Bartholdi travelled in Yemen and Egypt with the painter Jean-Léon Gérôme and others, and the trip sparked his interest in colossal sculpture; in 1869 he proposed a giant torch-bearing figure as a lighthouse at the entrance of the Suez Canal, and in 1871 he went to the United States to propose a colossal statue as a gift from France. His Life Palace holds Po Jun (Wang) with Hua Quan. Po Jun is the star of breaking convention and opening new ground, and Hua Quan is taking the lead, which fits his putting forward ideas on a vast scale.

The Statue of Liberty unveiled in 1886

In October 1886 (nominal age 53) the Statue of Liberty was formally presented as a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States, standing on Bedloe's Island in New York Harbor; at 46 metres, it was the largest work of its kind completed up to that time. In 1886 his annual Life Palace moves to his natal Travel Palace. The Travel Palace stands for going out and being away from home, and his work standing in a harbour across the Atlantic matches this palace.

Keeping the childhood home in Colmar

As a child Bartholdi moved to Paris with his mother and older brother, but the family often returned to Colmar in Alsace for long stays and kept their house there; Bartholdi himself kept this childhood home, which became the Bartholdi Museum in 1922. His chart shows Tai Yang (De) with Hua Ji (Transformation of Obstruction) in the Property Palace. The Property Palace stands for the home, and Hua Ji marks where care and thought go, which lines up with his keeping the old house and often going back to live there.
