Capable people back you up and help your big vision touch the ground.

You can carry out what you lead.

Stars
Zi Wei NatureYou carry the bearing of the Emperor Star: you like to make the call and keep the whole picture in view. You shine most when you have capable people around you.
Auspicious Stars PresentPeople around you fill gaps and pitch in. Your judgment and weight have room to work.
At MiaoYou are suited to leading from the front. With helpful stars here, people are willing to follow you.
Many Auspicious StarsClassical texts say Zi Wei gathering Tian Fu, Tian Xiang, Zuo Fu, You Bi, Wen Chang and Wen Qu is always noble. Today, it means when your support team is complete, you can rise highest.“What Does Zi Wei Govern?”
Life Master Po JunYou are naturally restless with the status quo and want to break things down and start over. Decide what you will build before you start tearing down. Your Life Master sits in your Fortune Palace, so your thoughts often circle around your inner life.
Patterns
Fu Xiang Chao Yuan (Treasury and Minister Pay Court)The Treasury and Seal stars shine into your Life Palace from the trines: resources and stages are often handed to you, and you suit a steady climb within institutions or large organizations.Classic pattern
Ji Xiang Li Ming (Pole Star Facing the Light)Zi Wei in Wu holds your Life Palace: the Emperor Star at its brightest. You carry natural stature and poise, suited to aiming high.Later pattern
Clash from OppositeLing Xing 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
Zi Wei Hua KeYou give a steady, dignified first impression, and your reputation is well earned. When you're valued, remember to value the people around 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 ChildrenThe palace stem sends Tian Liang Hua Lu into your Children Palace: what your effort brings often ends up with children and younger people.
Self Hua QuanYou’re used to deciding everything yourself, and your mind is made up fast. On big things, hear one more view first.

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

Tours that filled arenas

By the end of the 1970s, Martin's tour appearances typically took place in arenas filled with tens of thousands of screaming fans, a following normally reserved for rock stars. Concerned about his visibility in venues on such a scale, he began to wear a three-piece white suit, which became his trademark. In his chart, the Travel Palace holds Tan Lang (Wang). The Travel Palace covers going out, and Tan Lang is often read as entertainment and performance; the two can be read together.

Slowing records down to learn the banjo

Martin began playing the banjo at around 17. He has said that he used to take 33 rpm bluegrass records, slow them down to 16 rpm and tune his banjo down so the notes would sound the same, picking out each note and practicing until he had it. In the Four Transformations of his Decade Luck for nominal ages 13–22 (1957–1966), Wen Chang (De) takes Hua Ji (Transformation of Obstruction) and enters his natal Fortune Palace. The Fortune Palace covers interests and tastes, and Hua Ji is often read as the place one cares about and spends effort on; the two are worth setting side by side.

A series with Martin Short

In 2021 Steve Martin and John Hoffman co-created the Hulu comedy series Only Murders in the Building, in which he stars with Martin Short; in 2022 the two co-hosted Saturday Night Live. In his chart, the Siblings Palace holds Tian Ji (Ping) with Hua Lu (Transformation of Wealth). The Siblings Palace is often read as peers and partners, and Hua Lu as good connections with others, and his partnership with Short can be read alongside it.
