Where the chart lines up
Buried in the library
Verne loved to do research, especially in geography. He spent long hours in the Bibliothèque nationale de France, copying scientific and historical findings onto note cards for later use, a method he kept for the rest of his career. His Life Palace holds Ju Men (Bu) with Hua Ji. Ju Men is a star of digging in and getting to the bottom of things, and Hua Ji marks where thought and effort go. In the Life Palace, it fits his habit of burying himself in research.
Source ↗Meeting his publisher in the Children Palace decade
In 1862 he took a novel manuscript to the publisher Hetzel and signed a long contract for three books a year, finally gaining a steady income and a way into print; Journey to the Centre of the Earth came out in 1864 and From the Earth to the Moon in 1865. These years fall in the Decade Luck of his Children Palace (nominal ages 32–41), and Lian Zhen (Li) with Hua Lu (Transformation of Wealth) from the decade's Four Transformations returns to his natal Children Palace, the decade's Life Palace itself. Hua Lu stands for gains, matching book after book appearing in these years.
Source ↗The world's second most translated author
Since 1979 Verne has been the second most translated author in the world, behind Agatha Christie and ahead of Shakespeare. His Career Palace holds Tian Ji (Ping) with Hua Ke (Transformation of Fame). Tian Ji is a clever, quick-thinking star, and Hua Ke stands for reputation and being seen; in the Career Palace, the fame comes from the work itself. That lines up with his books being translated so widely.
Source ↗Elected to the Amiens council in 1888
In 1888 (nominal age 62), Verne entered local politics and was elected to the town council of Amiens, where he pushed through several civic improvements. In his chart, the annual Life Palace of that year moves to his natal Friends Palace, which holds Zi Wei (Ping). The Friends Palace covers friends and the public; with the year's Life Palace landing here, the focus of that year turned to local public affairs. His election to the council fits this.
