Life Palace

You are warm and loyal, and a good name comes easily.

Terms in this palace · Tap for a plain explanation

You are warm and loyal, and a good name comes easily.

Once you have helped others, look after yourself too.

Stars
Tai Yang NatureYou are warm and love looking after people, giving without keeping score. When you shine this much, save some light for yourself.
Tian Liang NatureYou are mature beyond your years and protective, often the one others lean on. Help without lecturing, and people warm to you more.
Tai Yang–Tian Liang at MiaoIn the opposite palace the Sun and Tian Liang are both at Miao in Mao. You act openly and look after others, and elders and friends trust you.
Tian LiangClassical texts say Tian Liang in the Life Palace or the palace opposite brings long life. Today, it means you have a steady constitution and recover well, and life gets roomier as you go.“What Does Tian Liang Govern?”
Borrowed StarsWith no main star in your Life Palace, your basic character is borrowed from Tai Yang and Tian Liang opposite, with less force than if they sat here. The people and setting around you shape you more deeply than most.
Life Master Wen QuYou are naturally expressive and artistic, and you get noticed through expression. Write, speak and make things. Your Life Master sits in your Career Palace, so your thoughts often circle around work.
Patterns
Yang Liang Chang Lu (Sun, Beam, Literary and Wealth)Tai Yang, Tian Liang, Wen Chang and a Lu star gather in your trines. Classical texts say this favors exams and official honors; study and credentials are a path where you have a real edge.Later pattern
Helpful TrinesSan Fang Si Zheng brings in Tian Kui, Wen Chang, Wen Qu and Tian Yue: you have help and resources in your own life, more than this palace alone suggests.
Transformations
Trines: LuShining in from the Travel Palace opposite (Tian Liang Hua Lu): resources back you up.
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 FriendsThe palace stem sends Wu Qu Hua Lu into your Friends Palace: when things go well here, the benefits show up with your friends too.
Ji to CareerYou tie yourself tightly to work and do everything personally. Learning to delegate takes you further.
Minor Stars
Xian ChiYou have a hard-to-name pull and know how to set a mood. Charm is a gift; how far to take it is your call.
Tian ChuYou know good food and how to enjoy it, and one great meal restores you. Eat well and your mood follows.
Mu YuThings are still in flux and unsettled, and new things easily pull your attention away. Hold off on conclusions.

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

Quitting his job to tell jokes

Morita worked in data processing and in the aerospace industry, but occupational burnout led him to quit and try show business; he started out as a stand-up comedian and used the nickname "The Hip Nip." His Life Palace is an Empty Palace, read through Tai Yang (Miao) and Tian Liang (Miao) with Hua Lu in the Travel Palace. Tai Yang is the star that shines outward and lights up others, and Hua Lu is popularity: getting on stage and making people laugh lines up with the stars borrowed into his Life Palace.

Mr. Miyagi in 1984

In 1984 (nominal age 53), he played Mr. Miyagi in The Karate Kid, earning nominations for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor and a Golden Globe, and went on to play the same role in three sequels. He was then in the Decade Luck of his Career Palace (nominal ages 45–54), and in the decade's Four Transformations Ju Men (Bu) takes Hua Quan (Transformation of Power) and falls in the natal Career Palace, which is this decade's Life Palace itself. Hua Quan means weight and standing firm; landing a role that carries a whole film lines up with this decade.

Making customers laugh at the family restaurant

For a time after the war, the Morita family ran Ariake Chop Suey, a restaurant in Sacramento, where he would entertain customers with jokes and serve as master of ceremonies for group dinners. His chart shows Wu Qu (De) with Hua Ji (Transformation of Obstruction) and Tian Xiang (Miao) in the Friends Palace. The Friends Palace stands for friends and the wider public, and Hua Ji marks what one cares about and is willing to work at. Putting his mind on the customers and making a whole table happy fits Hua Ji in this palace.
