Twelve palaces read anticlockwise from the Life Palace, which is shaded. 身 marks the Body Palace. Large characters are the fourteen major stars; small are the assistants — the lucky eight in grey, the six malefics (擎羊, 陀羅, 火星, 鈴星, 地空, 地劫) in red.
The ages in each corner are its decade limit (大限): ten years a palace, counted from 6 in nominal years and running against them, Life to Siblings for a woman born in a yang year. Age 33 now falls in Spouse, outlined; this year's palace (流年) is Property.
The birth year's four transformations
| 廉貞 LianZhen | 化祿 prosperity | Prisoner: desire and principle at odds; charm with an edge. |
| 破軍 PoJun | 化權 power | Destroyer: breaking to rebuild; waste, and new ground. |
| 武曲 WuQu | 化科 recognition | General: money handled firmly; decisiveness, solitude. |
| 太陽 TaiYang | 化忌 trouble | Sun: generosity in public, the father, giving outward. |
Set by the year stem 甲: the four stars that carry prosperity, power, recognition and trouble through this chart.
This year's four transformations · 2026 丙午

流年四化: the stem of the current year, 丙, lays a second set of transformations over the chart, marked 年 in the grid. Where this year's 化忌 falls is where the year bites; where its 化祿 falls, where it gives.
