What is Zi Wei Dou Shu 紫微斗数 ?
Zi Wei literally translated as the “Purple Emperor” and Zi Wei is the most auspicious star in the chart. Dou means stars. Shu means numerology. Zi Wei Dou Shu is a Chinese metaphysics that has been regard as number one divination because of its amazing detail in studying a person’s life which base on the movement and location of the Zi Wei Star and other hundred stars. Zi Wei Dou Shu is almost the same with Four Pillars of Destiny in terms of using the date and hour of birth in the forecasting a person’s life.
With this birth data, we can chart the journey of life of a person into 12 (twelve) different palaces of life which represents a 10 years luck cycle. On each of these palaces, various stars move in and out. The 12 palaces are as follow: life palace, sibling palace, spouse palace, children palace, wealth palace, illness palace, travelling palace, servant palace, career palace, property palace, blessing palace and parent palace. Each of these palaces will be filled by a star according to the date of birth. From the nature of star, we can study how the person’s life journey is. Zi Wei Dou Shu utilizes the concept of palaces, the stars, five elements, Heavenly Stems, Earthly Branches and luck pillars. The plotting is not so difficult, but what is difficult is how you interpret the blueprint of the person’s life.

The 12 palaces are arranged in anti-clockwise direction in this fixed sequence as below: - Life Palace 命宫 [Ming Gong] – we can call this as the main palace of the chart because it shows the general outlook or characteristic, inborn qualities, and basic character of a person.
