Depending on <strong>the</strong> birth hour and <strong>the</strong><br />

birth moon (remember that this <strong>astrology</strong><br />

uses <strong>the</strong> Lunar Chinese Calendar), 12 Houses,<br />

or Palaces, are associated with <strong>the</strong> 12 fixed<br />

boxes.<br />

These 12 Houses are distributed clockwise:<br />

House I or Destiny Palace<br />

House II or Parents Palace<br />

House III or Luck Palace<br />

House IV or Real Estate Palace<br />

House V or Vocation Palace<br />

House VI or Friends Palace<br />

House VII or O<strong>the</strong>rs Palace<br />

House VIII or Health Palace<br />

House IX or Finances Palace<br />

House X or Children Palace<br />

House XI or Union Palace<br />

House XII or Bro<strong>the</strong>rs and Sisters Palace<br />

A thirteenth House is added, which is<br />

superimposed on one of <strong>the</strong> previous 12<br />

Houses. It is <strong>the</strong> House of <strong>the</strong> “Second<br />

World,” which describes life after <strong>the</strong> age of<br />

30. The placement depends on <strong>the</strong> Chinese<br />

birth hour.<br />

Each box is associated with a decade, sorted out, and distributed differently<br />

depending on how <strong>the</strong> native is characterized:<br />

Man born in a Yang Year: distributed clockwise<br />

Woman born in a Yin Year: distributed clockwise<br />

Man born in a Yin Year: distributed anticlockwise<br />

Woman born in a Yang Year: distributed anticlockwise<br />

In each box, <strong>the</strong> names of planets (Moon, Mars, Jupiter, etc.), stars (Sun, Ursa<br />

Major), or more “Chinese” energies (Yang, Virtue of <strong>the</strong> Dragon Flying Dragon, Heavenly<br />

Void, etc.) are indicated. There are 109 energies altoge<strong>the</strong>r, but only 36 of <strong>the</strong>m<br />

are considered important. Some of <strong>the</strong>m are nice companions (left column), o<strong>the</strong>rs<br />

are more violent (right column).<br />

Napoleon’s House of Destiny is in <strong>the</strong> Tiger box (see Figure 5) which also corresponds<br />

to <strong>the</strong> Second World. The Seven-Swords energy is <strong>the</strong>re, toge<strong>the</strong>r with Officer<br />

and Seal, which both symbolize military success. Also note <strong>the</strong> presence of Void,<br />

an energy that is fatal to dictators.<br />

The rating of <strong>the</strong> 12 boxes of a Zi Wei Dou Shu chart is also important at <strong>the</strong><br />

Feng Shui level. Feng Shui is <strong>the</strong> art of harmonizing one’s house with one’s life, and it is<br />

important to know how to rate <strong>the</strong> boxes of one’s natal chart. The most “beautiful”<br />
