The Twelve Palaces
The twelve palaces frame your chart into life domains — Self, Spouse, Wealth, Career, Health, and the rest. Each palace reads the stars that sit in it through its own lens.
Life Palace
命宫The core identity palace — reveals innate nature, life direction, and the native's primary operating system.
Siblings Palace
兄弟宫The palace of lateral bonds — siblings, peers, collaborators, and the structures of everyday support that sustain you without hierarchy.
Spouse Palace
夫妻宫The palace that reveals the archetype of your romantic partner and the dynamics of your marriage.
Children Palace
子女宫The palace of progeny and creative legacy — children, students, and the continuing output of one's life force into the next generation.
Wealth Palace
Cái Bó Gōng · 财帛宫The palace that reveals money mechanics — earning style, savings instinct, and your relationship with material accumulation.
Health Palace
