Life Palace
Zi Wei Life Palace Reading
The Life Palace is the front door of a Zi Wei chart—where you read someone's tone, their style, and how they meet the world.
Read the main star first, then the supporting and difficult stars, the transformations, the related palaces, and finally the Body Palace.
What the Life Palace stands for
It describes temperament, worldview, the way you act, and how you come across.
It sets the tone; the other palaces open into the specific areas of life.
How to read the main stars
Main stars—Zi Wei, Tian Fu, Tai Yang, Tai Yin, Wu Qu, Tian Ji—each carry a distinct quality.
How they express depends on brightness, the supporting stars, and the transformations.
Why the Body Palace matters
The Life Palace leans toward your innate tone; the Body Palace shows where you put your effort.
What people actually do usually reflects both.
