Terms in this palace · Tap for a plain explanation

You are gentle with people, and with challenging stars here you tend to keep stress bottled up.From the classic

Look after your routine and your family ties.

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.

Tai Yin NatureYou are gentle and perceptive, attentive to feelings and good at building up reserves. When a lot is on your mind, saying it out loud helps.

Tai Yang and Tai YinIn the opposite palace the Sun in Wei is in good standing while the Moon is weak. You are warm on the outside but reserved within, attentive, and slow to show your feelings.

Challenging Stars PresentWhen challenging stars arrive, both body and mood get worn down. Keep a steady routine and stop when you are tired.

Borrowed StarsWith no main star in your Life Palace, your basic character is borrowed from Tai Yang and Tai Yin opposite, with less force than if they sat here. The people and setting around you shape you more deeply than most.

With Huo XingClassical texts say Huo Xing in a woman's chart is overbearing toward partner and children and draws disputes. Today, it means under pressure you get stubborn and rushed, so cool down before you talk with family.“The Nature of Huo Xing”

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 Wealth Palace, so your thoughts often circle around money.

Patterns

Shuang Lu Jiao Liu (Double Lu Exchange)Lu Cun and Hua Lu both sit in the trines of your Life Palace: you have more than one source of income, from your own work and your network, and it grows the more you tend it.Later pattern

Quan Lu Xun Feng (Power and Wealth Meet)Hua Lu and Hua Quan both shine into your Life Palace: you have resources and the power to steer. When opportunity comes, you can catch it and drive it forward.Later pattern

Transformations

Trines: Lu · QuanShining in from the Wealth Palace (Ju Men Hua Lu) and the Travel Palace opposite (Tai Yang Hua Quan): resources back you up; you push with more force.

Flying StarsThis 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 FriendsThe palace stem sends Wen Chang Hua Ji into your Friends Palace: when things stall here, it often shows with your friends as well.

Minor Stars

Gua SuYou are good at being alone and used to working through things by yourself. When someone asks how you are, try telling the truth.

En GuangYou are easily appreciated, and someone often gives you a hand at key moments. Make the most of every chance to be seen.

The Life Palace is about: Who you are at the core: your temperament and innate makeup. Every chart reading starts here.

What the Quan Shu says about this palaceThe sun and moon guarding the Life Palace are not as good as shining on it from elsewhere; where Yin and Fu gather, one need not fear danger.“Tai Wei Fu” ›Qi Sha is like Zilu, who would fight a tiger bare-handed and wade across a river; Huo Xing and Ling Xing are like Yu Rang, who swallowed charcoal and feigned muteness.“Xing Xing Fu” ›Like one who fights tigers and wades rivers (Qi Sha), the eyes are far too fierce; like one who swallowed charcoal and feigned muteness (Huo Xing, Ling Xing), the voice is hoarse and low.“Xing Xing Fu” ›My Quan Shu (30 lines on this palace) ›

Where the chart lines up

Easygoing and good at working with others

When NASA was choosing a woman for the STS-7 mission, one of the things in Ride's favor was her easygoing personality and her ability to work with others. In her chart, the Career Palace holds Tian Tong (Miao). The Career Palace covers work, and Tian Tong is often read as easygoing and easy to get along with, which can be read alongside the qualities NASA valued in her.

Lifting off on Challenger in 1983

On June 18, 1983 (nominal age 33), the Space Shuttle Challenger lifted off from Kennedy Space Center, and Ride became the first American woman in space; during the mission she worked the robotic arm to deploy and retrieve the SPAS-1 satellite, and she came home a celebrity. In the annual Four Transformations of 1983, Tai Yin (Bu) takes Hua Ke (Transformation of Fame) into her natal Travel Palace. The Travel Palace covers going out and faraway places, and Hua Ke is reputation, which lines up with her rise to fame after flying into space.

Books and science education for children

Ride and Tam O'Shaughnessy co-founded the company Sally Ride Science, with Ride as president; it created entertaining science programs and publications for upper elementary and middle school students, with a particular focus on girls. The two also co-wrote six books on space for children, aiming to encourage them to study science. In her chart, the Children Palace holds Zi Wei (De). The Children Palace is often read as children and students, and Zi Wei as taking the lead and running things; the two are worth setting side by side.
