Where the chart lines up
A powerful will at four, in his mother's letter
Hesse was headstrong from childhood and hard for his family to handle. In a letter to her husband, his mother wrote that the four-year-old had "an unbelievable strength, a powerful will", adding: "God must shape this proud spirit, then it will become something noble and magnificent." In his chart, the Life Palace has no main star and is read through the opposite palace's Zi Wei (Wang), and the opposite palace is also the Body Palace. Zi Wei is the chart's ruling star, the star of making one's own decisions, which lines up with his strong will from childhood.
