Depending on the birth hour and the
birth moon (remember that this astrology
uses the Lunar Chinese Calendar), 12 Hous-
es, or Palaces, are associated with the 12 fixed
boxes.
These 12 Houses are distributed clock-
wise:
House I or Destiny Palace
House II or Parents Palace
House III or Luck Palace
House IV or Real Estate Palace
House V or Vocation Palace
House VI or Friends Palace
House VII or Others Palace
House VIII or Health Palace
House IX or Finances Palace
House X or Children Palace
House XI or Union Palace
House XII or Brothers and Sisters Palace
A thirteenth House is added, which is
superimposed on one of the previous 12
Houses. It is the House of the “Second
World,” which describes life after the age of- The placement depends on the Chinese
birth hour.
Each box is associated with a decade, sorted out, and distributed differently
depending on how the native is characterized:
Man born in a Yang Year: distributed clockwise
Woman born in a Yin Year: distributed clockwise
Man born in a Yin Year: distributed anticlockwise
Woman born in a Yang Year: distributed anticlockwise
In each box, the names of planets (Moon, Mars, Jupiter, etc.), stars (Sun, Ursa
Major), or more “Chinese” energies (Yang, Virtue of the Dragon Flying Dragon, Heav-
enly Void, etc.) are indicated. There are 109 energies altogether, but only 36 of them
are considered important. Some of them are nice companions (left column), others
are more violent (right column).
Napoleon’s House of Destiny is in the Tiger box (see Figure 5) which also cor-
responds to the Second World. The Seven-Swords energy is there, together with Offi-
cer and Seal, which both symbolize military success. Also note the presence of Void,
an energy that is fatal to dictators.
The rating of the 12 boxes of a Zi Wei Dou Shuchart is also important at the
Feng Shuilevel. Feng Shuiis the art of harmonizing one’s house with one’s life, and it is
important to know how to rate the boxes of one’s natal chart. The most “beautiful”
