Tian LiangYou're steady and clean-cut, bright and upright, with no hidden motives and a real wish to help. Your constitution is sound, and you tend to gain energy with age.
For WomenClassical texts say a woman with Tian Liang has far-reaching ambition. Today, it means you take responsibility and can make your own way.“The Nature of Tian Liang”
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 Spouse Palace, so your thoughts often circle around love.
Body Master Tian JiThe older you get, the more you live by your wits and flexibility. Many ideas are good; pick one and see it through. Your Body Master sits in your Travel Palace, so much of your later effort goes into travel and social settings.

Where the chart lines up

Restoring an 1805 farmhouse

The Stewarts moved to Westport, Connecticut, and bought an 1805 farmhouse on Turkey Hill Road, which they restored; the house later became the model for the studio set of the television show Martha Stewart Living. During the restoration, her talent for restoring and decorating came to the fore. In her chart, the Property Palace has Wen Chang (De) with Hua Ji (Transformation of Obstruction). The Property Palace covers the home, and Hua Ji is where attention and effort go, which fits restoring an old house.

Becoming a magazine's editor-in-chief in 1990

In 1990 Stewart signed with Time Publishing Ventures to develop a new magazine, Martha Stewart Living, with herself as editor-in-chief; the first issue came out at the end of 1990 (nominal age 50) with an initial circulation base of 250,000 copies. In the annual Four Transformations of 1990, Tai Yang (Wang) takes Hua Lu (Transformation of Wealth) and enters her natal Career Palace. The Career Palace covers career and work, and Hua Lu is returns: taking the helm of a new magazine that year lines up with this palace.
