How to Read the Annual Fortune

🍊 Annual Fortune

An Annual Fortune refers to a person's fortune for a particular age or year. To read an Annual Fortune, first, locate the Annual Life Palace, then observe the stars in it and the stars in its Quartet Palaces.

🍊 Annual Life Palace

The location of the Annual Life Palace on the life chart is the same for everyone. It is located in the Year Animal Terra. For example, if the Year Animal for 2022 is the Tiger Terra, then everyone's Annual Life Palace is in the Tiger Terra. For 2023, the Year Animal is the Rabbit Terra, so everyone's Annual Life Palace is in the Rabbit Terra.

🍊 12 Annual Palaces

The 12 Annual Palaces are placed clockwise after the Annual Life Palace according to the sequence of the 12 palaces.

🍊 Reading the Annual Fortune Procedures

• 🌷 Before Reading the Annual Fortune  
  Before reading the Annual Fortune, it's important to familiarize yourself with your original chart and note which Major Fortune you are in (your current Major Fortune) to ensure accuracy. Observe the original, major, and annual Converted Stars. Converted stars invigorate other stars, especially the main stars.
• 🌷 Locate the Annual Life Palaces
  To begin reading the annual fortune, you must first locate the Annual Life Palace. The Annual Life Palace is located in the current Year Animal Terra. For example, 2023 is the Year of the Rabbit Terra, so everyone's Annual Life Palace is in the Rabbit Terra. The Rabbit Terra becomes the current year Life Palace.
• 🌷 Notice Which Stars are Converted
  Each year has its own set of converted stars. They are called the "Annual Converted Star", and are only used for the current year fortune or the fortune of a specific year.
• 🌷 Annual stars
