People back you and lift you up, so you do not carry things alone.

Terms in this palace · Tap for a plain explanation

People back you and lift you up, so you do not carry things alone.

Still, the position is weak, and great wealth or rank stays hard to reach.

Stars
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.
Tian LiangPeople notice how warmly you look after others, and someone steps up for you when trouble comes. You do not have to hold on alone.
Auspicious Stars PresentWith support, you have helpers in what you do. Your base is still weak, though, and achievements tend to stop at the middle.
Liang–Tong in Si/HaiClassical texts say a man with Tian Liang and Tian Tong across Si and Hai tends to drift and roam. Today, you love to play and settle slowly, so once you choose a direction, stick with it.“Star Combinations: Tian Liang”
Life Master Wu QuDeep down you are practical and hardworking, and you believe only results count. Leave some room for feelings too. Your Life Master sits in your Health Palace, so your thoughts often circle around body and mind.
Patterns
Clash from OppositeTuo Luo clashes in from the Travel Palace opposite: things are easily thrown off by outside events in your own life. Leave some margin on big decisions.
Transformations
Trines: KeShining in from the Wealth Palace (Tai Yin Hua Ke): people readily vouch for you and speak well of you.
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 WealthYou are your own source of income and can earn on your own ability. Investing in yourself pays best.
Ji to SpouseYou care intensely about relationships and partnerships and find them hard to let go. Say more, guess less.
Minor Stars
En GuangYou are easily appreciated, and someone often gives you a hand at key moments. Make the most of every chance to be seen.
Tian Fu (Blessing)You have good fortune and standing, and people often look after you and treat you with respect. Cherish it; do not take it for granted.
Lin GuanThings come easily and you feel sure of yourself. Use the momentum to take one more step.
Xi ShenThere is a festive air, and happy things often start here. Share them and the good fortune grows.

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

Workshops to train young people

In the 1970s Jones founded the Quincy Jones Workshops, which met at the Landmark Variety Arts Center in Los Angeles and taught inner-city young people music, acting and songwriting; some participants later co-wrote hit songs. In his chart, the Life Palace holds Tian Liang (Xian). Tian Liang is often read as caring for and bringing on the younger generation, which is worth setting side by side with this.

Bringing the stars together in 1985

Jones produced We Are the World, whose final night of recording took place at A&M Studios in Hollywood on January 28, 1985, gathering many of the best-known singers of the day; Ebony described the session in which Jones brought together a multi-racial group. That day fell before the Lunar New Year, so it belongs to the 1984 annual chart (nominal age 52): Po Jun (Wang) takes Hua Quan (Transformation of Power) and enters his natal Friends Palace. The Friends Palace covers the public, and Hua Quan is leading; the two can be read together.

Touring Europe with Hampton in 1953

In 1953 Jones toured Europe with bandleader Lionel Hampton's orchestra. He said the trip let him see conflicts in every place and understand them as part of human nature: "It opened my soul; it opened my mind." He was in his Decade Luck for nominal ages 15–24 (1947–1956), and in the decade's Four Transformations Tian Tong (Miao) takes Hua Lu (Transformation of Wealth) and enters the natal Travel Palace. The Travel Palace covers going away from home, and Hua Lu is returns, and the European tour can be read alongside it.
