Hua Ji from the Children Palace into all twelve palaces: how Flying Star readers see each line

Children Palace Hua Ji flying into the Life Palace: why the result of guiding people comes back to you

The Children Palace’s concern is not sent outward; it presses straight back onto you as a person. A typical scene: a student does badly on a test and you first review what you failed to teach; a younger person runs into trouble and your first thought is that you did not guide them well; a work you raised yourself is criticized and it feels as if you are the one being criticized. If you have no children and have never guided anyone, you can read it as finding it hard to treat what you make as someone else’s business.

The opposite of the Life Palace is the Travel Palace, so some teachers add that this concern goes out the door with you, and you react especially fast when you are asked about younger people or your work. Another reading is 「欠」 (“owing”), the sense that you owe children or younger people something you have not given enough of; Xingge does not adopt that reading.

A chart with the Children Palace’s Hua Ji in the Life Palace: the ten Hua Ji stars come out about equal

This line covers 21,776 of the 262,980 charts, 8.3%, about one chart in twelve. Tian Ji Hua Ji at 11.6% and Wu Qu Hua Ji at 11.3% are a little more common, and Ju Men Hua Ji is the least at 8.2%; Wen Chang and Wen Qu together make 20.1%, and they can only become Hua Ji when the Children Palace stem is Xin or Ji. In the sample, only about 3% of charts on this line have an empty Life Palace, against about 16.5% for all charts, and the reason is structural: when the Life Palace is empty, the Hua Ji star that lands in it can only be Wen Chang or Wen Qu, and those two together are only about 20%.

Brightness is about average, and Xingge does not write how to read bright or dim. One example: a person born in a Jia year with the Life Palace in the Si (巳) palace, holding Lian Zhen (Xian) and Tan Lang (Xian) together; the Children Palace is in the Yin (寅) palace with no main star and the stem Bing, which produces Lian Zhen Hua Ji, landing right back in the Life Palace. Some teachers say that a bright Hua Ji star acts as a drive to hold yourself to a high standard, while a dim one more easily turns into inner friction; in this chart Lian Zhen is Xian, so it leans toward the latter.

Children Palace Hua Ji in the Life Palace: telling yourself apart from the people you guide

Xingge’s Life Palace page has Hua Ji lines that can be borrowed as a reference, though they were not written for this line: Lian Zhen Hua Ji is strong in both principle and feeling, and the one it competes with is often itself; Tan Lang Hua Ji has many desires and many talents yet feels not good enough; Wu Qu Hua Ji is used to carrying things alone, and big matters stay bottled up inside. Put into this line, it means holding a very high standard about guiding people, and not quite admitting it even when you have done well.

Two things you can do. First, separate their performance from your own report card: write down what you can do (accompany them, set an example, provide resources) and what is their own homework. Second, keep a block of time for yourself that has nothing to do with guiding people. The Life Palace is the base color of the whole chart, and its main stars and birth-year Four Transformations weigh more than this line; the point of knowing about it is to see where you tend to take too much on.

Children Palace Hua Ji landing in the Siblings Palace: how guiding people becomes a topic among siblings

The Siblings Palace governs the bond with siblings, and also how you work with and compete against your peers. When the Hua Ji star flies from the Children Palace to here, the scenes are specific: in the family group chat the topic is always the next generation’s grades and where they are headed; when you worry about your child, the first person you want to talk to is a brother or sister; a peer guides people differently from you, and as you watch you start comparing in your head. If you have no siblings, you can substitute the circle of classmates and peers of your own age.

Some Flying Star teachers also extend the Siblings Palace to the cash you can draw on at hand; the reading then becomes that the cost of guiding people has to be tided over by peers, or that you talk money with siblings because of a younger person. Xingge writes about siblings and peers; treat this extra layer as something to glance at, not something to force.

The Siblings Palace as the receiving end: 22,108 charts, with the Hua Ji stars about even

The Siblings Palace end has 22,108 charts in all, 8.4%. Tian Ji Hua Ji at 10.8%, Wu Qu Hua Ji at 10.7% and Tian Tong Hua Ji at 10.4% lead, with Tan Lang Hua Ji and Ju Men Hua Ji at the bottom with 9.4% each; they are too close together for the order to mean anything. The two minor stars Wen Chang and Wen Qu together make about 20%; in the sample only about 3% of charts have an empty Siblings Palace, and in those the Hua Ji star can only be Wen Chang or Wen Qu.

One example: a person born in a Ren year with the Life Palace in the Mao (卯) palace (Tai Yang and Tian Liang both in Miao), the Children Palace in the Zi (子) palace with the stem Ren, so Wu Qu becomes Hua Ji and flies to the Siblings Palace in the Yin (寅) palace, where Wu Qu (De) shares the palace with Tian Xiang (Miao). Wu Qu Hua Ji swallows everything first and keeps important decisions stuck inside (borrowed from Xingge’s Life Palace page, as a reference only); applied to siblings, it means that you often carry your siblings’ matters alone first. The brightness of the Hua Ji star on this line is about average; Xingge does not write how to read brightness, so no conclusion is drawn here.

Children Palace Hua Ji in the Siblings Palace: who gets the comparing among peers

What tends to happen on this line is using your siblings as a yardstick: how the other person’s child is raised, and whether you should follow. Separate asking for advice from comparing; when you want an opinion, ask directly how they handled it at the time, and do not treat their way as a scoring sheet.

With the Hua Ji star landing in the Siblings Palace, you also read the opposite Friends Palace, that is, the feelings about guiding people tend to spill over into the circle of friends and colleagues. You can choose one person to talk to instead of telling everyone. For family matters that involve money, agreeing on each person’s share beforehand is easier than settling up afterward. These are all arrangements for getting along.

Children Palace Hua Ji flowing into the Spouse Palace: how child-raising and getting along pull on each other

The Spouse Palace covers how you get along with an intimate partner, and also what you expect your partner to give you. When the Hua Ji star flies in from the Children Palace and you have a partner, the usual scene is: the two of you have different ideas about the rules, tutoring and direction for the child, and talking turns into talking about each other; or you spend so much time guiding people or making work that your partner feels put behind. If you have no children, substitute students, a team or work in hand that takes up the energy the two of you would have for time alone together.

The Career Palace sits opposite the Spouse Palace, and the Flying Star school adds a Hua Ji clash on the Career Palace: this concern also affects the pace of your work. Some teachers also extend the Children Palace to the part where two people relax alone together, and the reading then becomes that easy time together gets pressed down by tasks; this is an extension, and Xingge does not adopt it.

The Spouse Palace receiving the Children Palace’s Hua Ji: 22,305 charts and a Tan Lang Hua Ji example

There are 22,305 charts (8.5%) in which the Children Palace’s Hua Ji flies into the Spouse Palace. Tian Ji Hua Ji, Tai Yin Hua Ji and Tian Tong Hua Ji are 10.6% each, and the lowest, Tan Lang Hua Ji and Ju Men Hua Ji, still have 9.3% and 9.4%; the ten are spread very evenly, so there is no need to rank them. Another roughly 20% are Hua Ji from the minor stars Wen Chang and Wen Qu; charts with an empty Spouse Palace are about 2% in the sample, and the Hua Ji star can only be those two minor stars.

The Hua Ji star on this line leans a little dim: Xian (Fallen) is about 19%, four percentage points above the average of the eight Hua Ji stars (about 15%). Xingge does not write how to read brightness; some teachers’ experience is that when it is dim the concern is more likely to stay bottled up, and when it is bright it is easier to say out loud. Example: a person born in a Ding year with the Life Palace in the Chen (辰) palace, Zi Wei (De) and Tian Xiang (De); the Children Palace is in the Chou (丑) palace with the stem Gui, where Tai Yang (Bu) and Tai Yin (Miao) share the palace and produce Tan Lang Hua Ji, landing in the Spouse Palace in the Yin (寅) palace, where Tan Lang (Ping) sits alone. The base color of Tan Lang Hua Ji is many desires and a high standard, always afraid of not being good enough (borrowed from the Life Palace page); put here, it is the fear of not looking after both family and work well.

Children Palace Hua Ji in the Spouse Palace: talking about guiding people and about the two of you separately

You can start by splitting the conversation into two kinds: talking about the child’s or younger person’s matters, and talking about the two of you. The first is like a meeting, with the agenda, the division of work and who is responsible, and when it is done it ends; the second is left for time that carries no tasks at all, even if only once a week. If your partner minds the time you put into guiding people, ask directly whether what they want is time or to be seen; the answer is usually much smaller than the guess.

It works without a partner too: take it as a reminder to check whether your concerns have taken the place of someone close to you.

What Children Palace Self-Hua Ji is, and how the Hua Ji star stays in place

An ordinary Hua Ji flies from the Children Palace to another palace, and the concern flows elsewhere; with Self-Hua Ji it does not fly, and the star sits in the Children Palace itself. The chart marks it with ↻, and it is also called outward self-transformation (離心自化). There are three steps to work it out: use the birth-year stem to set the stems of the twelve palaces, look up the Hua Ji star for the Children Palace stem, and see whether it sits in the Children Palace’s own square. Take a person born in a Xin year with the Life Palace in the Xu (戌) palace: the Children Palace is in the Wei (未) palace with the stem Yi (乙), the Hua Ji star is Tai Yin, and Tai Yang (De) and Tai Yin (Bu) both happen to be in the Wei palace, so this is Self-Hua Ji.

The scene is going over the same matter of guiding people again and again: a single remark from a child or student stays with you for days, and finished work gets revisited for more fixing. Because it flows into no palace, this section does not discuss the Hua Ji clash, and does not read it as a line of concern for other people.

Charts with Children Palace Self-Hua Ji: 22,147 charts, the ten Hua Ji stars about 10% each

Of the 262,980 charts, 22,147 have Children Palace Self-Hua Ji, about 8.4%. Tan Lang Hua Ji and Tai Yang Hua Ji are about 10.7% each and Ju Men Hua Ji about 8.7%; the two ends differ by about two percentage points, so no ranking can be drawn. Self-Hua Ji from Wen Chang and Wen Qu together is about 20%; when the Children Palace is an Empty Palace, the self-transforming star can only be one of those two, and in the sample that is about 4%.

Brightness is about average. Xingge has no reading for brightness; some teachers’ experience is that when it is bright, what self-transforms is energy, and when it is dim it is more like inner friction. Xingge’s Life Palace page has three Hua Ji lines that can be borrowed as a reference: Tai Yin Hua Ji draws feelings inward and is carried along by emotion; Tan Lang Hua Ji wants everything and yet feels not good enough; Tai Yang Hua Ji shines for other people and hides its own tiredness. Applied to guiding people, these are each a different way of going over things.

The way out of Self-Hua Ji: when thoughts keep turning, find them an ending

The way out of self-transformation is in your hands. When you keep going over a matter about guiding people, first ask whether the information is not enough or the standard is too high: if the information is not enough, ask the other person or look it up; if the standard is too high, write down your expectation and put one item down today. After finishing each task, write one line to close it, such as what you taught this week and what the next step is, then put it away.

Some teachers read self-transformation as being unable to hold on, as if the people you guide or the work you make cannot be kept; Xingge does not adopt that reading, and reads it as fairly neutral, quick to arrive and quick to fade. Self-transformation is only a note attached to the main star, and it does not override the main stars of the Children Palace or the birth-year Four Transformations.

Children Palace Hua Ji flying into the Wealth Palace: how money becomes a worry because of nurturing

The Wealth Palace covers how you earn and spend, and whether you are loose or tight with money. The scenes: you arrange courses, equipment or study abroad for a child or younger person, and think a long time over every payment; leading a team, you pay out of pocket first and then worry whether it was worth it; making a work, the cost sinks deeper and you cannot stop, and are too embarrassed to call a halt. If you have no children, substitute the money you are willing to put into talent, learning or creating.

This school has another extension: some teachers also read the Children Palace as investment and partnership, which then means putting money into something that will grow while being unable to let go of the result. The Fortune Palace is directly opposite the Wealth Palace, and they add a Hua Ji clash on the Fortune Palace: money you have put effort into also makes it hard to relax. Xingge does not adopt this layer.

The Wealth Palace receiving the Children Palace’s Hua Ji: 20,859 charts and a Wu Qu Hua Ji example

The Wealth Palace receives the Children Palace’s Hua Ji in 20,859 charts, 7.9%, the fewest of the twelve lines. Wu Qu Hua Ji and Tai Yang Hua Ji are about 10.7% each, and Tian Tong Hua Ji and Tan Lang Hua Ji are the lowest at 9.3% each, a gap of less than two percentage points, so no ranking can be drawn. Wen Chang Hua Ji plus Wen Qu Hua Ji make about 20%.

Brightness leans dim: Xian (Fallen) is about 17%, Xian plus Bu (Unsupported) 26%, and Miao or Wang only 39%. Xingge gives no reading for brightness; some teachers’ experience is that when it is bright you are willing to spend and can still work out the sums, and when it is dim you tend to spend while panicking. Example: a person born in a Xin year with the Life Palace in the Wei (未) palace, Zi Wei (Miao) and Po Jun (Wang); the Children Palace is in the Chen (辰) palace with Tai Yang (Wang) alone and the stem Ren, which produces Wu Qu Hua Ji, landing in the Wealth Palace in the Mao (卯) palace, where Wu Qu (Li) and Qi Sha (Wang) share the palace. The flavor of Wu Qu Hua Ji is that money matters and big decisions are placed on your own shoulders first (taken from Xingge’s Life Palace page, borrowed as a reference); here it means that you are used to carrying the cost of nurturing yourself.

The Wealth Palace holds the Children Palace’s Hua Ji: settle the principles of the nurturing budget first

How much is up to you; the key is to give the cost of nurturing some rules. You can first decide the total for this kind of money and the rhythm of checking it, then look when the time comes instead of thinking from scratch each time; you can also split it into money for helping people grow and money for your own life, with separate accounts, so that one side does not eat the other.

For a child or younger person, money should go where it is needed and need not be the only way of showing you care; sometimes accompanying and listening costs less and works just as well.

Children Palace Hua Ji landing in the Health Palace: how worry about guiding people becomes your own pressure

On Xingge, besides constitution, the Health Palace also covers how you hold up when pressure comes and how you settle your emotions; this section takes only the second half. Scenes: before there is a result for a student’s grades, a child’s direction or a younger person’s choice, your mood hangs; when they let out a breath, you relax with them. If you have no children, substitute the team you lead or a work that is not going smoothly.

The Parents Palace sits opposite the Health Palace, and the Flying Star school’s Hua Ji clash adds: this pressure sometimes reaches into how you get along with elders and bosses, and needs more understanding than usual. This describes how the pressure connects, not a judgment of anyone.

The Health Palace receiving the Children Palace’s Hua Ji: 21,025 charts, which star becomes Hua Ji

There are 21,025 charts in which the Children Palace’s Hua Ji lands in the Health Palace, about 8.0%. Ju Men, Tian Ji, Wu Qu and Tai Yin Hua Ji are all around 10.6%, and Tian Tong Hua Ji is about 8.5%; the gaps are small, so no star can be ranked. Hua Ji from the two minor stars Wen Chang and Wen Qu together is around 20%.

Brightness leans bright, with Miao or Wang close to half (47.5%) and Xian only about 11%; Xingge has no reading for it, and some teachers observe that when it is bright the pressure has an outlet, and when it is dim it easily stays bottled up. Borrowing the Hua Ji lines from Xingge’s Life Palace page as a reference: Ju Men Hua Ji swallows the words it wanted to say and argues a round in the heart; Wu Qu Hua Ji shoulders it alone; Tian Ji Hua Ji keeps thinking about the next step. Put into the Health Palace, the pressure stays in the heart in three ways. Example: a person born in a Ding year with the Life Palace in the Si (巳) palace, Tian Liang (Xian); the Children Palace is in the Yin (寅) palace with Tan Lang (Ping) alone and the stem Ren, which produces Wu Qu Hua Ji, landing in the Health Palace in the Zi (子) palace, where Wu Qu (Wang) and Tian Fu (Miao) share the palace.

The Health Palace holds the Children Palace’s Hua Ji: pressure needs a place to be put down

The point of this line is how emotion flows. When guiding people has you tense inside, you can sort the worries into two kinds: what I can do today, and what can only be waited for. Do one of the first; for the second, write it down and agree to look again in a few days. Saying it once to someone you trust often lets go faster than turning it over alone for three days.

Also keep a stretch of time for yourself when you do not have to think about anyone, even a short one, so the feelings have somewhere to come back to you. The main stars and the base color of the whole chart matter more than this one line.

The Travel Palace receiving the Children Palace’s Hua Ji: out in the world, the heart is still with the people you guide

The Travel Palace covers your state once you step outside your familiar circle. Scenes: on a business trip or a journey you keep thinking of the child or students at home; you cannot watch from close by how they do at school, in another place or online; when you are out, people often ask about the people you guide or your work.

The Travel Palace and the Life Palace are six squares apart, directly opposite. The Flying Star school says that when Hua Ji lands in the Travel Palace, the force turns back and strikes the Life Palace, which is why it is called Hua Ji clashing the Life Palace: things outside turn around and pull on your own mood. This is how this school reads it, and other schools do not necessarily divide it this way; below, treat it only as a direction of energy.

The Travel Palace end: Life Palace empty at twice the usual rate

The Travel Palace end receives 21,342 charts, about 8.1%. Ju Men Hua Ji and Lian Zhen Hua Ji are around 10.5%, and Tian Tong Hua Ji about 8.7%; the gaps are all small and the order means nothing. The two minor stars Wen Chang and Wen Qu make about 21%. One number stands out on this line: in the sample, about 32% have an empty Life Palace, against about 16.5% for all charts. When the Life Palace is empty you read yourself through the stars of the Travel Palace, and this Hua Ji happens to land in the Travel Palace.

The Hua Ji star leans dim, with Xian (Fallen) about 18% and Xian plus Bu (Unsupported) about 26%. Example: a person born in a Geng year with the Life Palace in the Chou (丑) palace, Tian Fu (Miao) alone; the Children Palace is in the Xu (戌) palace with Tian Tong (Ping) alone and the stem Bing, which produces Lian Zhen Hua Ji, landing in the Travel Palace in the Wei (未) palace, where Lian Zhen (Li) and Qi Sha (Miao) share the palace, facing Tian Fu in the Life Palace. Lian Zhen Hua Ji holds to its principles very hard (borrowed from Xingge’s Life Palace page); put into going out, it means holding your own standard especially firmly when you are away.

The Travel Palace’s Hua Ji clash on the Life Palace: hand over the guiding before you go out

Knowing the energy will fly outward, arrange a handover: before going out, write down the important things, give them to someone who can take over, and agree on a time to be in touch, which is lighter than being on call at all times. Once outside, put your attention on the occasion in front of you, and do not push hard at every scene. When you are back where you stay, do one closing action, such as unpacking or writing a few lines of notes, so that what happened outside stays outside.

If your Life Palace is empty, the borrowed Travel Palace stars carry the Hua Ji at the same time; then watch whether you are taking the expectations of the outside as your own standard.

The Friends Palace receiving the Children Palace’s Hua Ji: younger people’s matters become a topic among peers

The Friends Palace covers the people beside you, friends and colleagues, and also how you lead a group. The Children Palace is the people you have brought up, and the Friends Palace is the people who stand alongside; put together, common scenes are: you look for a colleague to talk over a student’s or subordinate’s matter, and talk longer than expected; topics about children and younger people in your circle of friends weigh on you in particular; someone on the team guides people differently from you, and you quietly note it. It holds for people without children too, because the Children Palace already includes the people you guide.

The classical name for the Friends Palace is the Servants Palace (奴僕), and the palace opposite is the Siblings Palace. The Hua Ji clash on the Siblings Palace means this concern sometimes connects to siblings and peers, so one matter gets talked over with friends and then with family.

The Friends Palace end: 21,764 charts and a Tan Lang Hua Ji example

Of all the charts, 21,764 have the Hua Ji star landing in the Friends Palace, about 8.3%. Ju Men Hua Ji, Tian Tong Hua Ji and Tai Yang Hua Ji share the top three between 10.6% and 10.9%, and Wu Qu Hua Ji and Lian Zhen Hua Ji are the lowest at about 8.9% each; the gap is under two percentage points, so no ranking. In about 20% of charts the Hua Ji star is Wen Chang or Wen Qu; charts with an empty Friends Palace are about 5% in the sample, and then only those two minor stars can become Hua Ji.

The Hua Ji star leans bright: Miao or Wang is close to half (49%) and Xian only about 12%. Example: a person born in a Gui year with the Life Palace in the Yin (寅) palace, which is empty; the Children Palace is in the Hai (亥) palace with Zi Wei (Wang) and Qi Sha (Ping), and the stem Gui produces Tan Lang Hua Ji, landing in the Friends Palace in the Wei (未) palace, where Wu Qu (Miao) and Tan Lang (Miao) share the palace. Tan Lang Hua Ji is wanting to do too many things and fearing none will be done well, borrowing the Tan Lang Hua Ji line from Xingge’s Life Palace page. Xingge writes nothing about brightness; as a teaching remark, some say that when the Hua Ji star is bright you have energy to spare to look after everyone, though you still fear it is not enough.

The Friends Palace Hua Ji: give guiding people and standing alongside each a place

You can first separate guiding people from standing alongside: with students and subordinates you are the one who provides direction; with colleagues and friends you are the one beside them. The tone of the two positions differs, and if they are mixed, it is easy to sound like you are teaching even in front of friends.

When you want to talk something over, say first whether you need an opinion or just want to talk, and the other person will know better how to receive it; for a younger person’s private matters, notice which are fine to say in the circle of friends and which are not. This line does not judge your friends or younger people.

The Career Palace receiving the Children Palace’s Hua Ji: the people you brought up become your career’s report card

The Career Palace covers how work and career go. When the Children Palace’s Hua Ji flies in, scenes include: you give a lot of time to students or subordinates, your own progress slows as a result, and yet you cannot let go; a child’s routine affects your work arrangements; the work you make is also your calling card, and whether its reputation is good or bad weighs on you. If you have no children, read it as guiding people and career being tied together.

The Spouse Palace is directly opposite the Career Palace, and the Flying Star school adds a Hua Ji clash on the Spouse Palace: the concern of work and guiding people may squeeze the time the two of you have together. Some teachers also extend the Children Palace to partnerships and newly started projects, which then means partnership matters pull on your career; Xingge does not adopt this layer.

The Career Palace end: 22,305 charts, with Wu Qu Hua Ji less common

There are 22,305 charts that land the Hua Ji in the Career Palace, about 8.5%. Tian Tong Hua Ji is 11.3%, Tan Lang Hua Ji 11.0%, and Wu Qu Hua Ji 8.3%, three percentage points below Tian Tong Hua Ji; the other stars are around 10%. Hua Ji from the minor stars (Wen Chang, Wen Qu) is about 20%. About 23% have an empty Life Palace, against about 16.5% for all charts; brightness leans slightly dim, but it is less than three percentage points from the average.

Example: a person born in a Jia year with the Life Palace in the Zi (子) palace, Po Jun (Miao) alone; the Children Palace is in the You (酉) palace with Tian Tong (Ping) alone and the stem Gui, which produces Tan Lang Hua Ji, landing in the Career Palace in the Chen (辰) palace, where Tan Lang (Miao) sits alone. Tan Lang Hua Ji has many opportunities and many talents yet always says it is not done well yet (what the Life Palace page says about Tan Lang Hua Ji, borrowed here); put into career, it means many opportunities and a worry that the work is not done properly. Xingge does not write about brightness; some people’s experience is that when the Hua Ji star is bright, this kind of worry turns into the drive to do things in fine detail.

The Career Palace Hua Ji: set aside a block of time each for career and guiding people

First schedule the time of the two lines separately: guiding people has its fixed periods, and career progress has its own, and do not let one keep interrupting the other. If guiding people may affect your work, explaining to the people involved early is easier than adjusting at the last minute.

You can also ask yourself one question: is what I am doing now for them, or to prove myself? The answer need not be told to anyone; it is only for deciding which things deserve effort. People without children can use it the same way, to check how much energy the people you guide and the work you make take up.

Children Palace Hua Ji flying into the Property Palace: why it is called Hua Ji clashing the Children Palace

The Children Palace and the Property Palace are six squares apart on the chart and are opposite palaces. The Children Palace’s stem sends the Hua Ji into the Property Palace, which is Hua Ji entering the opposite palace; the Flying Star school’s rule is that when Hua Ji enters a palace its force also strikes the palace opposite, and the palace opposite the Property Palace is exactly the Children Palace, so it goes out and comes back, both ends tense, and is called Hua Ji clashing the Children Palace. It is three different lines from Property Palace Hua Ji flying into the Children Palace (the opposite direction) and Children Palace Self-Hua Ji (the star sits in the Children Palace, and no clash is discussed).

The Property Palace covers your dwelling, the atmosphere at home, and where you feel settled. Scenes: choosing where to live for the growth of a child or student, how space at home is divided, and arrangements of the home adjusted again and again because of guiding people. One school reads this line as collecting, keeping the results of what you have brought up at home and not wanting to let go; Xingge does not adopt that reading.

The Property Palace end: the Children Palace is empty in as many as 40% of these charts

The Property Palace is where the Hua Ji star lands, and there are 22,201 such charts (8.4%). Ju Men Hua Ji and Tan Lang Hua Ji are about 10.7% each and Wu Qu Hua Ji about 8.7%; the two ends are not far apart, so no ranking; charts where Wen Chang or Wen Qu becomes Hua Ji are about 20%. One special number in the sample: among charts on this line, about 40% have a Children Palace with no main star of its own, against about 16.5% for all charts. When the Children Palace is empty, you take the main stars of the Property Palace as its stars, and about 80% of the Hua Ji stars are main stars of the Property Palace, so among the main stars borrowed to read the Children Palace, there is mostly the very one that becomes Hua Ji.

The Hua Ji star on this line is mostly bright, with Miao or Wang about 48% and Xian about 12%. Example: a person born in a Geng year with the Life Palace in the Yin (寅) palace, Zi Wei (Wang) and Tian Fu (Miao); the Children Palace is in the Hai (亥) palace with Tai Yang (Xian) alone and the stem Ding, which produces Ju Men Hua Ji, landing in the Property Palace in the Si (巳) palace, where Ju Men (Wang) sits alone, directly opposite the Children Palace. Ju Men Hua Ji keeps questions inside and argues with itself (how the Life Palace page writes Ju Men Hua Ji, borrowed); put into the home, it is that with the people you guide, words come to your lips and are taken back.

The Property Palace Hua Ji: look at home matters and guiding matters separately

First pull the two lines apart: on one side, matters of the home, such as space, furnishings and where things go; on the other, matters of guiding people, such as child-raising, accompanying them and your work. The feature of the Hua Ji clash is that the two sides pull on each other, so when either side is to change, ask first whether the other needs to change too, so that you do not end up wanting to change everything in a chain.

You can also take stock once a year: which things at home are kept for guiding people and which for who you are now, with no need to settle it all at once. With children or younger people, use questions instead of guesses, and ask them directly what kind of space they want.

The Fortune Palace receiving the Children Palace’s Hua Ji: the heart you keep for yourself is taken up by guiding people

The Fortune Palace covers how tight or loose your inner life is, and what you do to relax. Scenes: while resting you are still thinking about a student’s progress, weekend plans all revolve around the child, and your own interests give way little by little; when a work is not finished well, you cannot relax at all. If you have no children, substitute the people you guide or a work you value.

The Wealth Palace is opposite the Fortune Palace, and the Hua Ji clash on the Wealth Palace means that what you cannot put down in your heart connects to trade-offs about money, for example being willing to spend so that the people you guide do better while not being sure it is worth it. Some teachers call the Fortune Palace the root of the spirit and read guiding people as your root; Xingge does not adopt this view.

The Fortune Palace end: 22,752 charts and a Tian Ji Hua Ji example

The Fortune Palace receives the Children Palace’s Hua Ji in 22,752 charts, about 8.7%, the most of the twelve lines. Tan Lang Hua Ji, Tian Tong Hua Ji and Ju Men Hua Ji are around 10.5% each and Tai Yang Hua Ji about 9.1%; the differences are small, so the order means nothing. The Hua Ji of the two minor stars Wen Chang and Wen Qu together is about 20%. About 21% have an empty Life Palace, against about 16.5% for all charts; the Hua Ji star leans dim, with Xian about 18% and, adding Bu, about 27%.

Example: a person born in a Xin year with the Life Palace in the Chou (丑) palace, where Tai Yang (Bu) and Tai Yin (Miao) share the palace; the Children Palace is in the Xu (戌) palace with Po Jun (Wang) alone and the stem Wu, which produces Tian Ji Hua Ji, landing in the Fortune Palace in the Mao (卯) palace, where Tian Ji (Wang) and Ju Men (Miao) share the palace. Tian Ji Hua Ji runs every step through in advance several times and so is slow to move (how Tian Ji Hua Ji is written on Xingge’s Life Palace page, borrowed here only for comparison); put into the inner life, it is that your mind is still working things out while you rest. Xingge does not write about brightness; some teachers say that when it is dim, the feeling of not being able to let go is stronger.

The Fortune Palace Hua Ji: keep a stretch of time for your heart when you think about no one

You can first set a fixed period for your own interests, one that does not compete with guiding people and does not need to produce results. A short time is fine; the point is that it is fixed, so that it becomes a place in your life rather than something you do when you have time.

When worry about the people you guide comes up, first ask what you can do about it right now; if nothing, leave it for the next time you deal with it. You can also find someone to talk to only about interests, so that no one in the conversation has to be guided or graded.

The Children Palace’s Hua Ji flying into the Parents Palace: caught between younger people and elders

The Parents Palace covers your relationship with elders, bosses and others above you. Scenes: your views on raising the child differ from the elders’, and you have to translate in the middle; guiding students or subordinates means obeying the rules of the school or company, while you want to protect them; elders care especially about the people you guide, and sometimes you feel cared for and sometimes feel watched. If you have no children, read it as the gap between the people you guide and the older generation or your boss.

In the extended readings, some Flying Star teachers also treat the Parents Palace as documents and status; the reading then becomes that the status, title or contracts signed for guiding people are what elders or bosses care about. Xingge’s palace table lists the Parents Palace as elders, bosses, and documents and certificates; the status layer is the teachers’ view.

The Parents Palace end: 22,396 charts and a Lian Zhen Hua Ji example

The Parents Palace receives this Hua Ji in 22,396 charts, about 8.5%. Lian Zhen, Ju Men and Wu Qu are about 10.6% each, and Tai Yang Hua Ji about 9.3%; the gap is under two percentage points, so no ranking. Wen Chang Hua Ji and Wen Qu Hua Ji are about 10% each, together about 20%. Charts where the Life Palace has no main star are about 17%, much like all charts; the Hua Ji star on this line leans bright, with Xian about 12% and Miao or Wang nearly 45%.

Example: a person born in a Bing year with the Life Palace in the Hai (亥) palace, Ju Men (Wang) alone; the Children Palace is in the Shen (申) palace with Zi Wei (Wang) and Tian Fu (De) and the stem Bing, which produces Lian Zhen Hua Ji, landing in the Parents Palace in the Zi (子) palace, where Lian Zhen (Ping) and Tian Xiang (Miao) share the palace. Lian Zhen Hua Ji is a high standard and strong feeling, and the one it competes with is mostly itself (what the Life Palace page says about Lian Zhen Hua Ji, borrowed for comparison); put here, it means you guide people with principles, and with elders you want to be even clearer. As for brightness, Xingge does not write about it, and no conclusion is drawn here.

The Parents Palace Hua Ji: the person in the middle should first keep a place for themselves

The person caught in the middle easily becomes a messenger. You can first make clear which things are your decisions and which need the elders’ opinion; after hearing the opinion, keep the decision in your own hands. With elders, explaining why you guide people the way you do with facts is easier than explaining your stance; with younger people, translate the elders’ concern into words they can follow, without passing it on unchanged.

The Health Palace is opposite the Parents Palace, and some teachers say the pressure on this line connects to physical and mental feelings, so when the gap gets too tight, first hand off what can be handed off.
