Where the chart lines up
Four generations of cathedral music
The Puccinis were a musical dynasty in Lucca: from his great-great-grandfather Giacomo, through Antonio and Domenico to his father Michele, four generations held the post of maestro di cappella at the Cathedral of San Martino in Lucca, for 124 years from 1740 to 1864. His chart shows Qi Sha (Wang) in the Parents Palace, where the birth-year You Bi with Hua Ke (Transformation of Fame) also sits. The Parents Palace stands for family background and elders, and Hua Ke is reputation: the family line carrying prestige fits this musical dynasty.
Source ↗At Torre del Lago from 1891
From 1891 onwards, when not travelling on business, he spent most of his time at Torre del Lago, a small community near Lucca on Lake Massaciuccoli, which was also where he indulged his love of hunting. He was then in the Decade Luck of his Property Palace (nominal ages 32–41), and in the decade's Four Transformations Lian Zhen (Miao) takes Hua Lu (Transformation of Wealth) and returns to the Property Palace. The Property Palace stands for the place one lives; Hua Lu is benefit and liking. His making the lakeside his main home in this decade matches this.
Source ↗Several librettists before the final text
When he began Manon Lescaut, he announced that he would write his own libretto so that "no fool of a librettist" could spoil it. His publisher Ricordi persuaded him to accept Ruggero Leoncavallo, but he soon asked for him to be removed, and several more librettists passed through before Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa completed it. His chart shows Po Jun (Wang) in the Friends Palace. The Friends Palace stands for the people one works with, and Po Jun is the star of tearing down and starting again: collaborators changing again and again lines up with this story.
Source ↗Four million dollars from his works
Puccini earned $4 million from his own works. His chart shows Tai Yang (De) and Tai Yin (Bu) with Hua Quan (Transformation of Power) in the Wealth Palace. The Wealth Palace stands for the way one makes money, and Hua Quan means carrying weight and keeping a firm hold on the lead. That fits his building up a large income through the works themselves.
