The duration of one major fortune is ten years. It represents a person's fortune for a specific 10-year period. There are 12 palaces in a person's Life Chart. Each of the palaces is associated with one major fortune. Because of this, there are 12 major fortunes.

๐Ÿ‘ Major Fortunes on the Life Chart

The location of the first major fortune on the chart is the same for everyone. The first major fortune begins at a person's Life Palace. Subsequent major fortunes rotate either clockwise or counterclockwise after the first major fortune. A person's age increases by ten years after each successive palace.
