Life Palace

You are gentle and glad to help, though the shelter you enjoy is not deep.

Terms in this palace · Tap for a plain explanation

You are gentle and glad to help, though the shelter you enjoy is not deep.

The goodwill you earn by giving is the base you build yourself.

Stars
Tian Tong NatureYou are easygoing and content, and you know how to find your own fun. You seek harmony first; when it is time to push, do not ease off too much.
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 Liang at XianTian Liang across from you sits at Xian in Shen, so the protection it lends is weaker. Building things up yourself is steadier than waiting to be looked after.
Borrowed StarsWith no main star in your Life Palace, your basic character is borrowed from Tian Tong 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 Lu CunDeep down you want stability and value security and practicality. Holding steady is a skill; do not let it keep you from moving. Your Life Master sits in your Property Palace, so your thoughts often circle around home.
Transformations
Trines: LuShining in from the Travel Palace opposite (Tian Tong 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 WealthYou are your own source of income and can earn on your own ability. Investing in yourself pays best.
Ji Clashes BackWhat happens outside tends to come back and shake you, and things go back and forth. Out in the world, aim for steady before fast.
Auxiliary Stars
Tian MaYou were born unable to sit still, and your life unfolds through moving and trying things. The more willing you are to change scenery, the more opportunities you meet.
Minor Stars
Tian XingYou are principled, follow the rules and hold yourself to a high standard. Self-discipline is a strength; just do not be too hard on yourself.
Feng GeYou have taste and ingenuity, with a keen eye for beauty and handcraft. Put that gift to use.
Lin GuanThings come easily and you feel sure of yourself. Use the momentum to take one more step.
Da HaoThings and energy slip away easily, going out faster than they come in. Think before you spend.

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 palaceHua Quan and Hua Lu make the nine apertures wonderfully keen; the Hao star scatters the blessings accumulated over a lifetime.“Xing Xing Fu” ›Master Xiyi answered: if Tian Xing guards the Life or Body Palace and the person does not become a monk or Daoist priest, he is sure to be lonely and to harm and be harmed; if not short-lived, then poor. Parents and siblings cannot all be spared. When the two luck periods meet it, it means leaving home for religious life, or official lawsuits, prison and loss of money. In its temple it is lucky.“What Does Tian Xing Govern?” ›Tian Xing is not necessarily a bad star; in its temple it is called the spirit of joy. If Wen Chang, Wen Qu and lucky stars come to gather with it, one is sure to present plans to the royal court.“What Does Tian Xing Govern?” ›My Quan Shu (14 lines on this palace) ›

Where the chart lines up

The goodwill of America's Dad

Hanks has frequently been referred to as "America's Dad", and a critic wrote that he "has built a career out of playing thoroughly decent men". In his chart, the Life Palace is an Empty Palace, borrowing Tian Tong (Wang) with Hua Lu from the Travel Palace. Tian Tong is an easygoing, approachable star, and Hua Lu stands for goodwill and popularity. An image that puts people at ease and draws them closer fits the Tian Tong and Hua Lu borrowed into his Life Palace.

Two Best Actor Oscars in the Property Palace decade

Big in 1988 (nominal age 33) brought his first Oscar nomination for Best Actor, and he then won the award two years running for Philadelphia and Forrest Gump (presented in 1994 and 1995, nominal ages 39 and 40). These years all fall in the Decade Luck of his Property Palace (nominal ages 33–42), whose Four Transformations send Ju Men's Hua Quan (Transformation of Power) into his natal Career Palace. Taking the lead at work and speaking with weight lines up with his reaching the top of the film world in this decade.

Hua Quan in the Spouse Palace, also the Body Palace

Hanks married Rita Wilson in 1988, and the two later produced the 2002 film My Big Fat Greek Wedding together, with Wilson credited as a producer. In his chart, the Spouse Palace holds Tian Ji (Miao) with Hua Quan, and this palace is also his Body Palace. Hua Quan means weight and the ability to make decisions; the Body Palace is where the weight of the second half of life rests. A partner who is not only family but also someone to work and decide things with matches this pair.
