Zi Wei Dou Shu: The Royal Astrology

Zi Wei Dou Shu is one of the most sophisticated systems in Chinese destiny analysis, traditionally attributed to Chen Tuan of the Song Dynasty and once reserved for imperial use. It creates a destiny chart using birth year, month, day, and hour, with twelve palaces (Life, Siblings, Spouse, Children, Wealth, Health, Travel, Friends, Career, Property, Fortune, Parents) representing different life domains. The Purple Star (Zi Wei) is the emperor star and core of the chart. By analyzing the combinations of main and auxiliary stars in each palace and the distribution of Four Transformations (Lu, Quan, Ke, Ji), one can predict life's fortunes in detail.
