Terms in this palace · Tap for a plain explanation

Someone helps you point your impulses at real work.

The destructive streak hasn't fully gone, and clashes still happen often.

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.
Po Jun NatureYou are willing to tear down and rebuild, unafraid to start over. Breaking new ground is your gift; see things through to the end as well.
Challenging Stars PresentClassical texts say Zi Wei with malefic stars brings cunning and false kindness. Today, it means don't take shortcuts under pressure; staying the same inside and out is what protects your name.“What Does Zi Wei Govern?”
Mixed StarsYou have help and you take hits. Keep a lid on the side of you that will not bow to those above you.
Zi Wei–Po JunYou are suited to innovating or overhauling things. Point your destructive energy in the right direction and it won't bring trouble.
Tuo Luo at MiaoClassical texts say Tuo Luo at Miao can be read for wealth and office. Today, it means you can grind things out, and by building slowly you hold on to both money and position.“What Does Tuo Luo Govern?”
Life Master Ju MenYou are naturally inclined to ask why and do not believe things easily. Think it through before you speak, and your words carry weight. Your Life Master sits in your Friends Palace, so your thoughts often circle around your circle of friends.
Patterns
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
San Qi Jia Hui (Three Wonders Converge)Hua Lu, Hua Quan and Hua Ke all shine into your Life Palace: you have a base of resources, ability and reputation. The key is staying focused.Later pattern
Zuo Gui Xiang Gui (Noble Within, Noble Opposite)Tian Kui and Tian Yue sit one in your Life Palace and one opposite: you have good luck with helpers throughout life, and someone often reaches out when you are stuck. Be a helper to others too.Classic pattern
Zuo You Jia (Flanked by the Assistants)Zuo Fu and You Bi flank this palace on either side: in this area, there is always someone backing you up.Classic pattern
Transformations
Po Jun Hua QuanYou tend to tear down the status quo and start over, and only your word counts. You have plenty of drive; keep some strength for wrapping things up.

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

Rewriting his grammar for the second edition

The first part of Jacob's Deutsche Grammatik (German Grammar) appeared in 1819, and a second edition followed in 1822. In its preface he said he had to "mow the first crop down to the ground", and the second edition was really a new work. His Life Palace holds Po Jun (Wang) with Hua Quan. Po Jun is a star of tearing down and starting over, and Hua Quan in the Life Palace keeps the decision about whether to overturn something, and how to redo it, in his own hands. That lines up with his rewriting his own book from start to finish.

Professor at the University of Göttingen

In 1828 Jacob published Deutsche Rechtsalterthümer (Antiquities of German Law), and the following year he moved to the University of Göttingen as professor and librarian, lecturing on legal antiquities, historical grammar and literary history. This period falls in the Decade Luck of his Career Palace (nominal ages 42–51, 1825–1834), and Tan Lang (Xian) with Hua Quan from the decade's Four Transformations returns to his natal Career Palace, the decade's Life Palace itself. Hua Quan means holding the lead; more weight at work in this decade lines up with his becoming a professor.

Falling for old texts in Savigny's library

While Jacob studied law at the University of Marburg, the lectures of the Roman law scholar Friedrich Carl von Savigny awakened his love of historical and antiquarian investigation; it was also in Savigny's library that he first saw an edition of the Middle High German love songs and other early texts, and he resolved to study their language. His Fortune Palace holds Wen Qu (Wang). The Fortune Palace covers interests and where the heart is drawn, and Wen Qu is a star of writing and literature. That fits his love of old poetry and language.
