🌷🔮Life and Fortune
In Polaris Astrology, there is a clear distinction between a person's "Life" and "Fortune."
🌷Life: A person's Life is made up of 12 aspects, and the 12 aspects are represented by the 12 palaces of the Life Chart. The 12 palaces represent who you are, what you do, and your relationships with others. Click here to learn more about the 12 Palaces.
🔮Fortune: A person's fortune represents the past, present, and future events and happenings in that person's life. It represents a person's life experiences. A major fortune is a person's fortune for a specific 10-year period. An Annual Fortune is a person's fortune for one year. There are also monthly, daily, and hourly fortunes.

🍑 Major Fortune
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.
🍑 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.
🍑 Beginning Age and Ending Age of Each Major Fortune
The beginning and ending ages of each Major Fortune are shown at the top of each palace. Different people's Major Fortunes have different beginning and ending ages, depending on their Five Element Formation.
