How to Read the Polaris Astrology Life Chart

🌷The Life Chart

The 12 Palaces / Terras

🌿The Polaris Astrology Life Chart is a large rectangular box made up of 12 small boxes, each of which can be called a palace or a terra. Stars are placed in each palace based on a person's date of birth.

🏰The 12 Terras (Locations)

🌿 The 12 terras are named after the 12 Earth Branches, each of which is associated with a Year Animal. There are a total of 12 Year Animals. For ease of memorization, this website uses the names of the Year Animals as the names of the 12 terras. The position of each Year Animal on the chart is fixed and is the same for everyone.

🌿 For example, the Snake Terra is always in the top left corner, and the Monkey Terra is always in the top right corner

🌷Birth Chart

When the term 'original birth chart' is used, it refers only to a person's life, not their fortune. In Polaris Astrology, there is a distinction between a person's life and fortune.

When reading a birth chart in general, do not include the following:

🚫DDo not include any major, minor, or annual fortune elements.
🚫Do not include any Major and Annual converted stars.
🚫Do not include any Annual Stars.
🔮Major, minor, and annual fortunes represent events and happenings for specific time periods."

🌷Birth Converted Stars

The four birth converted stars on the birth chart are derived from a person's year of birth, and are extremely important. They describe a person's wealth, authority, popularity, and obstacles in life.

🌷Major Fortunes

A Major Fortune is a person's fortune for a specific 10-year period.

🌷Major Converted Stars

The four Major converted stars are for the Major Fortunes only. Each major fortune has a different set of Major Converted Stars.

🌷Annual Fortune

An annual fortune is a person's fortune at a particular age or year. The location of the Annual Life Palace on the Life Chart is the palace where the year animal for the year resides. The location is the same for everyone. For example, if the current year is the Year of the Tiger Terra, then everyone's Annual Life Palace is in the Tiger Terra.

🌷Annual converted Stars

The Four Annual Converted Stars describe and predict a person's fortune for a particular year or age. Each year there is a different set of annual converted stars.

🌷Annual Stars

The Annual Stars describe and predict a person's fortune for a particular year or age. Their locations on the chart are different every year.

🌷Love Palace

🌷Transport Palace

🌷Tomb Palace

🍐 The Strength of Stars

🌿The strength of each star varies across different palaces. Star strengths are ranked from prosperous to trapped.

Prosperous Productive Stable Idel Trapped

"Prosperous" and "Productive" have positive influences. "Stable" has no influences. "Idle" and "Trapped" have negative influences. According to most Polaris Astrologers, star strength contributes very little to a person's overall fortune. What matters more are star formations and other factors, so don't be overly concerned about star strength
