Tai Yin in the Health Palace

Zi Wei Dou Shu emphasizes seeing Yin and Yang together; below are neutral reminders based on the features of this chart — knowing what to watch for lets you turn danger into safety.

◆ This palace's main star 【Tai Yin】 is Fallen and lacks energy; in health you need to actively invest more effort and cannot rely on instinct alone.

The old book says Tian Ji in the Health Palace means many calamities in childhood; which organ to watch depends on the earthly branch of the palace with the most concentrated malefic stars in the whole chart.

Your Health Palace holds Tian Ji. When the Complete Book discusses Tian Ji in the Health Palace, it first says "many calamities in infancy," meaning many illnesses in childhood. Overthinking easily leads to poor sleep and mental fatigue — be aware of this yourself.

As for which organ needs more attention, Master Ni does not look at the star's element, nor only at the Health Palace alone: whichever palace in the whole chart has the most concentrated and worst malefic stars, he maps that palace's earthly branch to an organ (Zi gallbladder, Chou liver, Yin lungs, Mao large intestine, Chen stomach, Si spleen, Wu heart, Wei small intestine, Shen bladder, You kidneys, Xu pericardium, Hai triple burner); if two palaces are both bad, look at both. Reading the liver and gallbladder because Tian Ji belongs to Wood is a path he does not take. The Health Palace is only a reference, and must be read together with the Life Palace and the ten-year Decade Period you are passing through. Get regular checkups, and when you feel unwell, see a doctor and follow medical advice.

· The site of illness depends on the earthly branch of the worst palace in the whole chart — when Master Ni reads health, he first looks at the whole chart, and maps the earthly branch of the palace with the most concentrated malefic stars to an organ (Zi gallbladder, Chou liver, Yin lungs, Mao large intestine, Chen stomach, Si spleen, Wu heart, Wei small intestine, Shen bladder, You kidneys, Xu pericardium, Hai triple burner); the Health Palace alone is only a reference; the liver and gallbladder are not inferred from "Tian Ji belongs to Wood."

The old book says Tai Yang in the Health Palace signifies head ailments; which organ to watch depends on the earthly branch of the palace with the most concentrated malefic stars in the whole chart, not on Tai Yang belonging to Fire.

Your Health Palace holds Tai Yang. When the Complete Book discusses Tai Yang in the Health Palace, it first says "head ailments," that is, problems of the head. Also keep your eye use in mind and get an eye exam once a year.

As for whether the heart is a weak point, Master Ni doesn't match it by "Tai Yang belongs to Fire," nor look only at the Health Palace alone: whichever palace in the whole chart has the most concentrated and worst malefic stars, he maps that palace's earthly branch to an organ (Zi gallbladder, Chou liver, Yin lungs, Mao large intestine, Chen stomach, Si spleen, Wu heart, Wei small intestine, Shen bladder, You kidneys, Xu pericardium, Hai triple burner). The Wu palace corresponds to the innate heart, and the Xu palace's pericardium to acquired heart problems; if malefic stars gather in the Wu or Xu palace, get cardiac checks on schedule. The Health Palace is only a reference, and must be read together with the Life Palace and the ten-year Decade Period you are passing through. Get regular checkups and follow medical advice.

With Tian Tong in the Health Palace, the old book only says that in Temple there are few calamities; which organ to watch depends on the earthly branch of the palace with the most concentrated malefic stars in the whole chart.

Your Health Palace holds Tian Tong. When the Complete Book discusses Tian Tong in the Health Palace, it says only "in Temple, few calamities"; the other phrases are branches for stars sharing the palace, and it does not assign Tian Tong to any organ. Living too comfortably for a long time without exercise makes a person increasingly reluctant to move — watch out for this yourself.

As for which organ needs more attention, Master Ni does not look at the star's element, nor only at the Health Palace alone: whichever palace in the whole chart has the most concentrated and worst malefic stars, he maps that palace's earthly branch to an organ (Zi gallbladder, Chou liver, Yin lungs, Mao large intestine, Chen stomach, Si spleen, Wu heart, Wei small intestine, Shen bladder, You kidneys, Xu pericardium, Hai triple burner); if two palaces are both bad, look at both. Reading the kidneys and urinary system because Tian Tong belongs to Water is a path he does not take. The Health Palace is only a reference, and must be read together with the Life Palace and the ten-year Decade Period you are passing through. It's best to build a habit of regular exercise, get regular checkups and follow medical advice.
