🌷13. Latter Palace

The Life Palace represents the first half of a person's life, from birth to around age 35. The Latter Palace is the 13th palace, representing the second half of life, typically from age 36 onward.

When interpreting the Life Chart, the Life Palace should always be regarded as the Self, regardless of age—even if the individual is over 35 years old. The Life Palace is considered the most important palace. Many Polaris astrologers regard the Latter Palace as insignificant and often disregard it when interpreting the Life Chart.

Note: In Chinese, the Latter Palace is referred to as the Body Palace. However, the Body Palace has nothing to do with a person's physical body. To avoid confusion, this website refers to it as the Latter Palace.

🌷The Relationship Between the Latter Palace and Other Palaces
