Where the chart lines up
Taking his doctoral thesis to Jena
Marx studied law at the University of Berlin but was captivated by philosophy. His doctoral thesis was described as "a daring and original piece of work" and stirred controversy among the conservative professors at Berlin, so he submitted it instead to the more liberal University of Jena, which awarded him his doctorate in April 1841. In his chart, the Life Palace holds Qi Sha (Miao). Qi Sha is the general's star that clears its own road, and in Miao it has even more drive. If one road is blocked, take another: his move to Jena fits that.
Source ↗Das Kapital in his Career Palace decade
In 1867 (nominal age 50), the first volume of Das Kapital was published; by the autumn of 1871 the entire first German edition had sold out. These years fall in his Career Palace Decade Luck (nominal ages 45–54), and the decade's Life Palace holds Po Jun (De). The Career Palace covers career and the results of one's work; Po Jun is the star that breaks the old to set up the new. Producing his major critique of classical political economy in this decade lines up with the Decade Luck reaching the Career Palace where Po Jun sits.
Source ↗Engels: a lifelong friend
In August 1844, Marx met Friedrich Engels at the Café de la Régence in Paris, beginning a lifelong friendship; together they wrote The Communist Manifesto, published in 1848, and in his first years in London his main income came from Engels. In his chart, the Friends Palace is an Empty Palace, read through the opposite palace's Tai Yang (Miao) and Tian Liang (Miao). The Friends Palace covers friends; Tian Liang is the sheltering star that looks after people. A friend who wrote alongside him and also helped with money matches these stars.
Source ↗Writing fiction, drama and poems as a young man
By 1837 Marx had completed a short novel, a drama and a number of love poems dedicated to Jenny, the woman who would become his wife; he later set creative writing aside to study English and Italian and art history, and to translate Latin classics. In his chart, the Body Palace sits in the Fortune Palace, which holds Zi Wei (Miao). The Fortune Palace covers interests and inner life, and Zi Wei (Miao) is a star of taste and firm views of its own. These self-chosen studies and writings line up with Zi Wei in the Fortune Palace where his Body Palace sits.
