Palaces are contexts, not verdicts
The Life Palace is an important starting point, but it never describes the entire person. The Body Palace, opposite Palace and connected triad add context. The 14 Major Stars and supporting stars describe qualities that may become stronger or weaker depending on placement and brightness.
The Four Transformations — Hua Lu, Hua Quan, Hua Ke and Hua Ji — show flows of opportunity, authority, recognition and constraint. Their value comes from where they originate, where they land and how they connect to the rest of the chart.
What the chart can organise
Life areas
A structured view of career, relationships, wealth, travel, property, health and other themes.
Connections
How a question in one Palace may be supported or complicated by its opposite and related Palaces.
Periods
10-year Life Periods and annual overlays show when certain chart themes become more active.
Why accurate birth time is essential
The Palace arrangement depends on the birth hour. A small time error can move the Life and Body Palaces and change the chart. The birth-time guide explains how to verify the hour, place and boundary cases before interpretation.
What Green Jade calculates
The result includes the Twelve Palaces, Life and Body Palaces, principal and supporting stars, brightness, Four Transformations, connected structures, 10-year periods and annual overlays. The AI-assisted interpretation explains these layers in English rather than listing disconnected symbols.
