Someone helps smooth things over, but with malefic stars your temper is still fierce and draws trouble.

Terms in this palace · Tap for a plain explanation

Someone helps smooth things over, but with malefic stars your temper is still fierce and draws trouble.

Stars
Ju Men NatureYou speak plainly and love getting to the bottom of things, spotting what others miss. Soften how you say it, and there is less friction.
Mixed StarsYou have helpers, and trouble still comes. The old habit of acting on impulse is yours to change.
Life Master Wu QuDeep down you are practical and hardworking, and you believe only results count. Leave some room for feelings too. Your Life Master sits in your Friends Palace, so your thoughts often circle around your circle of friends.
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 WealthYou are your own source of income and can earn on your own ability. Investing in yourself pays best.
Ji to SpouseYou care intensely about relationships and partnerships and find them hard to let go. Say more, guess less.
Minor Stars
Feng GaoYou have chances at titles and positions, and good work earns formal recognition. When the title comes, make sure your skills keep pace.
Tian CaiYou are quick-witted, learn fast and react fast. Pair that cleverness with patience and you go far.
Lin GuanThings come easily and you feel sure of yourself. Use the momentum to take one more step.
Fei LianIt often feels like you are fighting alone, with few people able to help. Reach out and talk things over; do not carry it all yourself.

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

Speaking his mind to anyone

MGM music head Johnny Green said Kelly was a hard taskmaster who loved hard work, and that "if Gene believed in something, he didn't care who he was talking to, whether it was Louis B. Mayer or the gatekeeper"; nobody could intimidate him. In his chart, the Life Palace holds Ju Men (Wang). Ju Men stands for the mouth and speech, and at Wang it means saying things out loud and with force, which fits his habit of speaking plainly to anyone.

Co-directing with Donen in 1949

In 1949 (nominal age 38) he made On the Town, giving co-director credit to Stanley Donen, whom he had brought to Hollywood as his assistant choreographer. Kelly said: "we weren't boss–assistant anymore but co-creators." In the annual Four Transformations of 1949, Wu Qu (Miao) takes Hua Lu (Transformation of Wealth) and enters his natal Friends Palace. The Friends Palace covers friends and collaborators, and Hua Lu is returns, which lines up with his assistant becoming his partner that year.

An American choreographer at the Paris Opera

Kelly loved France and spoke fluent French. In 1960 the Paris Opera invited him to create a modern ballet for its company on material of his own choosing, making him the first American to receive such a commission; the result, Pas de Dieux, was a great success, and the French government made him a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour. In his chart, the Body Palace falls in the Travel Palace, which holds Tai Yang (Xian) and Lu Cun. The Travel Palace covers going away, and Lu Cun is prosperity: gains away from home, matching this episode.
