The annual chart for 2026: this year's branch 午 takes the Life palace, outlined, and the other eleven follow anticlockwise — each cell shows its annual palace above its birth palace. The stars do not move; what changes is which palace of the year they now sit in, and the year's four transformations marked 年. Where the year's 化忌 falls is where the year bites; where its 化祿 falls, where it gives.
