Ziwei divides life into twelve palaces
Ziwei Doushu reads life through twelve palaces: Life, Siblings, Spouse, Children, Wealth, Health, Travel, Friends, Career, Property, Fortune, and Parents. Each palace describes a domain, while the stars inside it define tone and pattern.
The chart is not read one palace at a time. Career should be read with Life, Wealth, and Travel; relationships should be read with Spouse, Fortune, and the surrounding star network.
A palace is a field of experience
A difficult palace does not mean failure. It means that area deserves more awareness, planning, and maturity. A strong palace does not remove the need for action; it simply shows where energy may flow more naturally.
The best use of Ziwei is structured self-audit: which domain is active, what kind of star quality is present, and what realistic choices can improve the situation.
