The emperor star mapping twelve life palaces
Zi Wei Dou Shu (Purple Star Astrology) maps 14 major stars across 12 palaces representing different domains of life — career, marriage, wealth, health — calculated from birth date and time. It offers natal readings and year-by-year timing through rotating luck cycles.
How this guides where you live
In Zi Wei, each location activates a different palace — and with it, that domain of life. A city that activates your Career palace (官祿宮) amplifies professional growth; one activating your Travel palace (遷移宮) makes you naturally mobile and internationally oriented.
