COMISIÓN NACIONAL PARA LA MORALIZACIÓN

The earthly animals in the chart have fixed locations while the location of the 12 palaces discussed above depends upon the date of birth of the person. Thus, the Life Palace could be in the Tiger square or Horse square or in any other squares.

About EB, It’s how it affect the stars in the palace as every stars has its ying or yang polarity and its interaction with the palace. Also the stars characteristic like Tai-yan which like to be in the Day* palaces Yin, Mao, Chen, etc. Tai-yin in the night palaces, Shen, You, xu, etc.This all would affect stars brightness or dimness, whether it could bring out its potentials or stifen it.

About Stems and Branches - The Five Elements of the Branches sometimes do come into play beyond only for Taiyang and Taiyin. For instance, Tanlang the Pleasure Star is about attraction luck, taohua. When it is being placed in Chen/Xu/Chou/Wei - the Four Tombs (Earth), its taohua nature is being reduced because the star is being constrained there.

Otherwise, the Stems are used mainly for deciding the position of the flying stars for periodic charts.

A palace is affected or is most influenced by the adjacent palaces, the opposite palace and the related harmony palaces.

Looking at the chart can say that the Life Palace is influenced by:

the adjacent palaces (Parents and Siblings Palaces) the opposite palace (Travel Palace) the related harmony palace (Career and Wealth Palaces)

Do you not agree that the life of a person is shaped by the person’s parents and siblings? The way you are brought up by your parents will determine how you become in society. This will lead to the type of career you will pursue and whether the chosen career will lead to generating your income be it stable income or not or whether you need to move away from your birthplace to make a living.

When there are no major stars in a palace that’s being analyzed, the major stars in the opposite palace is then examined as if the stars there are actually in the palace being analyzed. This is because the opposite palace is like a mirror image of the palace being analyzed. These two palaces have the strongest influenced on each other.

If you are analyzing the Happiness Palace, the palaces that have influenced to it are the Wealth Palace (opposite), the Marriage and Travel palaces(related harmony), the Property and Parents palace (adjacent).

People’s luck change as time goes by. Some enjoy several years of good luck. Some suffer bad luck year after year. This is because the palaces rotate around the chart.

5.5. EARTH BRANCHES OF THE DOMAINS 61

Like the four pillars of destiny, a person has 10 year luck chart and annual luck chart. A person’s first 10 year luck chart is the same as the original natal chart. The second 10 year luck chart has the Life Palace either occupying the Parents Palace or Siblings Palace depending upon the polarity of the person (yin male/female or yang male/female). The other palaces move one place following the Life Palace. This rotation in the chart causes our luck to change.
