Zi Wei in the Health Palace

Zi Wei is the Emperor Star, ruling over dignity and rank; its transformed energy is Honor. In the Life Palace it brings natural leadership, suited to large platforms and senior positions.

Summary

The Complete Book says Zi Wei in the Health Palace means few calamities, but this palace is only a reference, so don't be complacent. Master Ni maps organs by the branch of the palace with the most concentrated malefics, not the star's element, reading it with the Life Palace and the Decade Period; when the Decade Period reaches this palace, watch the body first. With Tian Fu or Po Jun, few calamities; with Tian Xiang, skin ailments and congenital weakness, though another entry says few. Caution: Qing Yang and Ling Xing, hidden illness; Kong and Jie, chronic and heart-qi ailments.

Zi Wei alone in this palace · 737 sample charts

In one sentence

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

Core reading

Your Health Palace holds Zi Wei. When the Complete Book discusses Zi Wei in the Health Palace, it first says "few calamities." But the Health Palace is only a reference; you cannot assume all is well just because it is Zi Wei.

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 spleen and stomach because Zi Wei belongs to Earth is a path he does not take.

To read health you must also look together at the Life Palace and the ten-year Decade Period you are passing through. In the decade when the Decade Period reaches the Health Palace, the body is the first thing to watch. In daily life keep a regular routine, eat until seventy percent full, drink less, get regular checkups and follow medical advice.

Basis in the chart

· 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 spleen and stomach are not inferred from "Zi Wei belongs to Earth."

· Zi Wei in the Health Palace — Complete Book: "Zi Wei, few calamities."

· Zi Wei with Tian Fu — Complete Book: "with Tian Fu, also few"; the Tian Fu entry also says "with Zi Wei, few calamities."

· Zi Wei with Tian Xiang — Complete Book: "with Tian Xiang, skin and congenital weakness"; further meeting Po Jun: "if Po Jun is added, blood and qi are out of harmony." The Tian Xiang entry separately says "with Zi Wei, few calamities" — the two views stand side by side.

· Zi Wei with Po Jun — Complete Book, entry on Po Jun: "with Zi Wei, few calamities."

· Zi Wei in the Health Palace meeting Qing Yang and Ling Xing — Complete Book: "with Yang and Ling, it signifies hidden illness."

· Zi Wei in the Health Palace meeting Kong and Jie — Complete Book: "adding Kong and Jie signifies chronic illness and heart-qi ailments."

Classical sources

· Ni Haixia, Heavenly Records episode 17, 09:19: "When you look at the Health Palace, first look at the whole chart; the whole chart must be considered together. You can't just look at one palace and say, ah, what does this Ju Men star, this Tai Yang star in the Health Palace mean — that's not accurate"

· Complete Book of Zi Wei Dou Shu · Volume 2 · Health: "Zi Wei, few calamities; with Tian Fu, also few; with Tian Xiang, skin and congenital weakness; if Po Jun is added, blood and qi are out of harmony; with Yang and Ling, hidden illness; adding Kong and Jie, chronic illness and heart-qi ailments"

Core reading

〔Glossary〕Malefic stars: stars with impact such as Qing Yang, Tuo Luo, Huo Xing, Ling Xing, Di Kong, Di Jie and Tian Kong — whichever palace they fall in, the affairs of that palace are prone to setbacks; Hua Ji: the minus item among the Four Transformations — the affairs governed by this star easily get stuck or run into setbacks; it does not mean something will certainly go wrong
