Terms in this palace · Tap for a plain explanation

You think fast and speak well, and people are there to help.From the classic

Work that runs on expertise and persuasion suits you.

Stars

Empty PalaceNo main star, but Wen Qu is here (expression and talent), so it isn't truly empty: read it first, then the borrowed stars.

Tian Ji NatureYour mind moves fast; you love working out a plan and seeing how everything fits. You think a lot, so remember to act on it too.

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.

Auspicious Stars PresentWith auspicious stars here, someone picks up on your gift for planning and persuasion. Put your eloquence to good use.

Ju MenClassical texts say Ju Men is agreeable to your face but critical behind your back, distant from kin, and starts friendships well but ends them badly. Today, it means warming up to new friends slowly and not saying too much too soon.“What Does Ju Men Govern?”

Borrowed StarsWith no main star in your Life Palace, your basic character is borrowed from Tian Ji and Ju Men opposite, with less force than if they sat here. The people and setting around you shape you more deeply than most.

Life Master Wen QuYou are naturally expressive and artistic, and you get noticed through expression. Write, speak and make things. Your Life Master sits in your Life Palace, so your thoughts often circle around yourself.

Patterns

Yang Liang Chang Lu (Sun, Beam, Literary and Wealth)Tai Yang, Tian Liang, Wen Chang and a Lu star gather in your trines. Classical texts say this favors exams and official honors; study and credentials are a path where you have a real edge.Later pattern

Mixed SupportSan Fang Si Zheng brings in Tian Kui, Wen Chang and Tian Yue, and also Ling Xing: you have both support and pressure in your own life. When help is there, keep your pace steady.

Transformations

Trines: LuShining in from the Wealth Palace (Tian Liang Hua Lu): resources back you up.

Flying StarsThis 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 PropertyYou put your heart into home and think about building assets. Start saving early.

Self Hua JiYou tend to pile the pressure on yourself and overthink. Saying it out loud takes half the weight off.

Minor Stars

Tian XiYou carry a festive air, and your smile puts people at ease. Without trying, good friends tend to find their way to you.

Xian ChiYou have a hard-to-name pull and know how to set a mood. Charm is a gift; how far to take it is your call.

Twelve Gods

Mu YuThings are still in flux and unsettled, and new things easily pull your attention away. Hold off on conclusions.

The Life Palace is about: Who you are at the core: your temperament and innate makeup. Every chart reading starts here.

What the Quan Shu says about this palaceWith Lu and Wen embracing the Life Palace, one is noble and worthy as well.“Tai Wei Fu” ›The sun and moon guarding the Life Palace are not as good as shining on it from elsewhere; where Yin and Fu gather, one need not fear danger.“Tai Wei Fu” ›Handsome, refined Wen Chang has clear brows and fine eyes; open, upright Wen Qu has a glib, flattering tongue. In its temple the person is sure to have an unusual mole; in a fallen position, sure to have spots or scars.“Xing Xing Fu” ›My Quan Shu (35 lines on this palace) ›

Where the chart lines up

Surveying and mapmaking as a young man

As a young man Washington learned mathematics and land surveying and became a talented draftsman and mapmaker. In 1748 he spent a month with a party surveying the Fairfax family's lands in the Shenandoah Valley, and the next year he received a surveyor's license and was appointed surveyor of Culpeper County. In his chart, the Life Palace is an Empty Palace, read through the opposite Travel Palace's Tian Ji (Wang) and Ju Men (Miao). Tian Ji is a star of calculation and planning, which fits his early skill at surveying and mapmaking.

Three unanimous elections in his Friends Palace decade

At the Constitutional Convention of 1787 he was unanimously chosen to preside; in 1789 the Electoral College unanimously elected him president, and he took office on April 30 that year; in 1793 he was again re-elected unanimously. These years fall in the Decade Luck of his Friends Palace (nominal ages 55–64), whose Life Palace holds Tan Lang (Ping). The Friends Palace covers friends and the crowd, and a decade of being chosen again and again by common consent lines up with his Decade Luck reaching this palace.

Doubling the size of Mount Vernon

After his marriage in 1759 he lived at Mount Vernon, growing tobacco and wheat. Between 1764 and 1766 he switched his main crop from tobacco to wheat, expanded into milling flour and growing hemp, and later doubled the size of the estate to 6,500 acres. In his chart, the Property Palace holds Wu Qu (Wang) with Hua Ji (Transformation of Obstruction). The Property Palace covers the family estate and land, and Hua Ji marks where care and effort go; running his own estate matches this position.
