Stars
Tai Yang NatureYou are warm and love looking after people, giving without keeping score. When you shine this much, save some light for yourself.
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 PresentBenefactors smooth things over and make introductions. You suit a living built on expertise or speaking.
At WangYour base is already good, and you have help on top of that. Your scope can open up.
With Ju MenClassical texts say Ju Men in the Life or Body Palace draws arguments and gossip all life long. Today, it means your words carry weight and are easily blown up, so think before you say anything important.“What Does Ju Men Govern?”

Clash from OppositeLing Xing clashes in from the Travel Palace opposite: things are easily thrown off by outside events in your own life. Leave some margin on big decisions.
Transformations
Wen Qu Hua JiYou tend to describe your feelings beautifully but often feel no one truly understands. Make yourself clear first, then wait for the right person to catch it.
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 SpouseYou’re happy to give to your partner or collaborators, and those ties are a blessing. Tend them well.
Ji to HealthThe palace stem sends Lian Zhen Hua Ji into your Health Palace: the part of your own affairs you cannot let go of tends to land in body and mind.
Minor Stars
Tian DeWhen you hit a wall, someone or something often comes along to untangle it. Keep your goodwill, and turning points come sooner.

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

Teaching young painters at the Académie Matisse

From 1907 to 1911, his friends organized and financed the Académie Matisse, a private and non-commercial school in which Matisse instructed young artists; the initiative came from the Steins, among others. In his chart, the Life Palace holds Tai Yang (Wang). Tai Yang is the star that gives off light and looks after others, which fits his spending time guiding young painters in their work.

The name "fauves" in 1905

At the 1905 Salon d'Automne (nominal age 37), the work of Matisse and his companions drew harsh criticism, and the critic Louis Vauxcelles wrote in the press of "Donatello chez les fauves" (Donatello among the wild beasts); the phrase spread, and the name Fauvism came from it. In 1905 his annual Life Palace was his natal Property Palace, and in that year's annual Four Transformations, Zi Wei (Wang) takes Hua Ke (Transformation of Fame) in the same palace. Hua Ke is reputation and being seen: that year's Hua Ke falling in that year's Life Palace matches the name spreading that year.

Friend and rival to Picasso

Around April 1906 he met Pablo Picasso, and the two became lifelong friends as well as rivals and are often compared; he and André Derain, with whom he led the Fauves, were also "friendly rivals". In his chart, the Siblings Palace holds Wu Qu (Miao) with Hua Lu (Transformation of Wealth) and Tan Lang (Miao) with Hua Quan (Transformation of Power). The Siblings Palace covers one's peers; Hua Lu is friendship and Hua Quan is contest. Peers who share both warmth and rivalry line up with these two relationships.
