Stars
Zi Wei NatureYou carry the bearing of the Emperor Star: you like to make the call and keep the whole picture in view. You shine most when you have capable people around you.
Tan Lang NatureYou are curious and many-talented, well liked, and you want a lot from life. With so many interests, pick one or two to go deep on.
Zi Wei–Tan LangClassical texts say Tan Lang meeting Zi Wei, if left unchecked, makes a person of no use. Today, it means your talent drifts when no one holds you to account, so set your own rules and goals.“What Does Tan Lang Govern?”
For WomenClassical texts say a woman who meets the emperor star along with the peach-blossom star drifts and falls into the world of entertainment. Today, it means your social circle easily gets complicated, so guard your own boundaries in love.“What Does Zi Wei Govern?”
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 Property Palace, so your thoughts often circle around home.
Patterns
Gu Jun (Lonely Emperor)The Emperor Star lacks helpers: you tend to carry everything yourself, with strong opinions and a dislike of asking for help. Learn to delegate and your path widens a lot.Classic pattern
Sha Po Lang (Killings, Breaker, Wolf)Your Life Palace sits on the Sha Po Lang line: life moves in big swings and you rarely sit still. Change is your fuel, but always leave yourself a way back.Classic pattern
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 SiblingsThe palace stem sends Tai Yin Hua Lu into your Siblings Palace: when things go well here, the benefits show up with your peers too.
Ji to ParentsThe palace stem sends Ju Men Hua Ji into your Parents Palace: the part of your own affairs you cannot let go of tends to land with elders.
Auxiliary Stars
Lu CunYou're practical and careful, know how to build up savings and are used to carrying everything yourself. Steadiness is your strength, and letting people get close now and then won't cost you.
Minor Stars
Tian GuanYou have good fortune and standing, and people often look after you and treat you with respect. Cherish it; do not take it for granted.

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

Hearing petitions in person every Friday

Isabella believed that the monarch and the people needed a direct relationship, so every Friday she and Ferdinand set aside time to sit in person and let people come before them with their complaints, a form of personal justice never seen before in Castile. Her Life Palace holds Zi Wei (Wang). Zi Wei is the chart's ruling star, here in the Wang position. A monarch presiding and hearing cases in person fits this star.

Becoming Queen of Castile in 1474

On December 13, 1474 (nominal age 24), in the main square of Segovia, Isabella swore to obey the commandments of the Church, to protect the integrity of Castile and to respect the rights of the nobles and the towns, and the Cortes then formally proclaimed her Queen of Castile. In the annual Four Transformations of 1474, Lian Zhen (Li) takes Hua Lu (Transformation of Wealth) and falls in her natal Career Palace. The Career Palace covers career and rank, and Hua Lu stands for gains. Taking the throne that year matches this annual chart.

Ruling together with Ferdinand

Isabella married Ferdinand of Aragon in 1469, and the two ruled jointly as the Catholic Monarchs, the first rulers to be called Queen and King of Spain. Their motto, Tanto Monta (meaning that the two are equal), referred to their prenuptial agreement. Her Spouse Palace holds Zuo Fu. Zuo Fu is a star of assisting and lending a hand, and a husband and wife governing together fit this star.

Royal marriages for her children

Isabella arranged marriages for her children with royal houses across Europe: her son John married Margaret of the House of Habsburg, Joanna married Margaret's brother Philip of Austria, Maria married King Manuel I of Portugal, and Catherine married Arthur, Prince of Wales, in England.
