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 CareerYour energy naturally goes into work, and it flows better the more you do. Look for a role you can grow in long-term.
Ji to ChildrenThe palace stem sends Tian Ji Hua Ji into your Children Palace: when it comes to your own affairs, your concern often ends up with children and younger people.

Chang ShengNew life is stirring, and fresh starts often sprout here. Nurture them slowly and they grow stronger.
Qing LongGood news and unexpected gains come often. Be ready to catch opportunities when they arrive.

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

Ahead of the times in trousers

Hepburn was known for not living by society's expectations of women. She wore trousers before they were fashionable, and even on formal occasions such as television interviews she mostly wore trousers with sandals. At the time a woman in trousers was a radical thing, and she helped make trousers acceptable for women. In her chart, the Life Palace holds Po Jun (De). Po Jun is the star that breaks old rules and starts afresh, and it lines up with this way of living.

Building her own comeback in 1939

After being put on a list of actors considered "box office poison", Hepburn left Hollywood and went looking for a stage play herself. In 1939 (nominal age 33), The Philadelphia Story, written for her, opened in New York in March and ran for 417 performances, a critical and commercial success. In the annual Four Transformations of 1939, Tan Lang (Wang) takes Hua Quan (Transformation of Power) and enters her natal Career Palace. Hua Quan is holding the reins, and in the Career Palace it means being in charge at work, which lines up with her building her own comeback.

Two Oscars in a row in a Friends Palace decade

She won the Academy Award for Best Actress two years running, for Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967) and The Lion in Winter (1968), and at the end of 1969 she was voted the most popular actress in America. This stretch falls in the Decade Luck of the Friends Palace (nominal ages 55–64), and the decade's Ju Men (Bu) takes Hua Quan back in the natal Friends Palace, which is the decade's Life Palace itself. The Friends Palace covers the public, and Hua Quan is weight, which fits her standing with audiences in these years.

Her beloved seaside family home

The Hepburn family had a seaside home in Old Saybrook, Connecticut, which she loved and later came to own. In her chart, the birth-year Tai Yin (Miao) with Hua Lu (Transformation of Wealth) falls in the Property Palace. The Property Palace covers the residence and family property; Tai Yin is a star of settling down and caring for the home, and Hua Lu is blessings and returns. The home carrying blessings matches her loving and owning this old family house.
