Zi Wei Dou Shu：From understanding to practice
From understanding to practice
Narrow the question to one work choice, list relevant palaces and timing, then real support and counterevidence. Check duties, income terms and alternatives before acting on symbolic labels.
Worked example
Career can involve life, career and wealth palaces, but a star has different context in each. A theme of change does not independently justify leaving a job.
Reading and judgment
Distinguish natal placement, opposite-palace reference, birth-year transformations, palace-stem transformations and period layers. Different sources must not be collapsed into one effect.
Common mistakes
One star cannot determine career, income or relationships. Transformation names are not automatic verdicts and an empty palace is not an absent life domain.
