Reading your Zi Wei Dou Shu
An Eastern star map for looking at the big flow of your life
Zi Wei Dou Shu builds a chart of twelve palaces from your birth information, then reads your tendencies and areas of life from the stars in each palace (major stars). The chart needs a birth time and gender.
Twelve palaces
It shows which stars sit in twelve areas, such as Wellbeing, Property, Career, Friends, Travel, Health, Wealth, and Spouse, along with each one's age range. The range you're in now is marked 'Current period'.
Open a palace under 'The twelve palaces in everyday life' to read it as scenes from daily life.
Age ranges are a way of cycling through life themes. They don't say anything about lifespan.
