You tend to clash head-on with authority, and pressure makes it worse.From the classic

Rein in your temper so you are not the one who pays for it.

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.

Po Jun NatureYou are willing to tear down and rebuild, unafraid to start over. Breaking new ground is your gift; see things through to the end as well.

Zi Wei–Po JunYour drive to tear down and rebuild gets stronger here. Putting it into reform and new ventures pays off far better than butting heads with people.

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 Wealth Palace, so your thoughts often circle around money.

Patterns

Gu Jun (Lonely Emperor)The Emperor Star lacks helpers: you tend to carry everything yourself, with strong opinions and a dislike of asking for help. Learn to delegate and your path widens a lot.Classic pattern

Sha Po Lang (Killings, Breaker, Wolf)Your Life Palace sits on the Sha Po Lang line: life moves in big swings and you rarely sit still. Change is your fuel, but always leave yourself a way back.Classic pattern

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.

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.

Self Hua LuYou’re generous with yourself, and good luck tends to get spent on you first. Set a share aside.

Ji to CareerYou tie yourself tightly to work and do everything personally. Learning to delegate takes you further.

Twelve Gods

Di WangEnergy is at its peak, with plenty of strength and conviction. At the top, remember to ease off a little.

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 palaceTo trace it to the source: Zi Wei is the imperial seat, and (the person it governs) is born with a solid and weighty face. Tian Fu is a venerable star, and it too gives a pure and mild build.“Xing Xing Fu” ›Po Jun is not benevolent: heavy-backed and wide-browed, with the waist crooked whether walking or sitting, treacherous and fond of doing dangerous things.“Xing Xing Fu” ›A nature and face as genial as spring: that is the temperament and virtue of Lu Cun. A heart like fire with its edge thrusting forward: that is truly the forceful authority of the Hao star (Po Jun).“Xing Xing Fu” ›My Quan Shu (61 lines on this palace) ›

Where the chart lines up

Discovering X-rays in 1895

On the evening of November 8, 1895 (nominal age 51), Röntgen was experimenting with vacuum tubes in his laboratory at the University of Würzburg when he noticed a fluorescent screen several feet away faintly glowing. In the following weeks he ate and slept in his laboratory, and temporarily termed the unknown rays "X-rays". In 1895 his annual Life Palace returns to the natal Life Palace, and in the annual Four Transformations Zi Wei (Miao) takes Hua Ke here as well. Hua Ke is reputation: the German word for X-ray comes from his name, which lines up with this discovery.

Following Professor Kundt from school to school

As a student in Zurich, Röntgen was the favourite student of Professor August Kundt. In 1870 he followed Kundt to the University of Würzburg, and in 1873 on to the University of Strasbourg, where he became a lecturer the following year. In his chart, the Parents Palace has no main star and is read through the opposite palace's Tian Liang (Miao) with Hua Quan (Transformation of Power). The Parents Palace also covers teachers; Tian Liang is a star of shelter and care. Following his teacher from school to school and starting out at his side fits this combination.

No patent on X-rays

Like the Curies, Röntgen refused to take out patents related to his discovery of X-rays, as he wanted society as a whole to benefit from its practical applications. In his chart, the Wealth Palace has Lu Cun, together with Di Kong in the same palace. The Wealth Palace covers money; with Di Kong beside Lu Cun, the money palace places little weight on accumulating, which matches his not patenting this discovery.
