Complete explanation of the twelve houses
The twelve houses are not twelve personalities, but life scenes in the horoscope. The planet answers "what force", the constellation answers "how to express it", and the house answers "in which field this force occurs".

What does cusp mean?
The cusp is the entry point to each house. It determines which constellation style is used to open this area of life, and also determines who the ruler of the palace is. It is the first layer of evidence that cannot be skipped when reading the palace.
What does palace lord star mean?
The house ruler is the ruler of the house and the clue that leads from one area of life to another in the chart. It makes empty palaces, flying palaces and theme linkages readable.
What do you think of Palace Master Xingfei Palace?
The lord of the palace, Xingfei Palace, is reading "where a certain field is taken." It can string together topics such as career, relationships, money, family, etc. into a traceable chain of horoscope evidence.
What does empty palace mean?
An empty house means that there is no natal planet in a certain house. It does not mean that this field does not exist, will not develop, or will not have events. Empty houses should be read through the cusp of the house, the lord of the house and the transit.
Does an empty palace really mean that there is no such field?
What the empty palace really represents is that the weight of the reading and the entrance of evidence are different, not the absence of the field of life. Reading an empty sign as a missing sign is the most common pitfall for novice astrologers.

What is the difference between angular palace, continuation palace and fruit palace?
The angular, continuation and fruiting palaces describe the dynamic types of the houses: the angular palace manifests, the continuation palace maintains, and the fruiting palace adjusts. They can help determine how a planet might fit into real life.
What do you think of a planet in a house?
A planet in a house puts a psychological function into a specific area of life. The reading method should also clearly state "which planet, in which house, in which constellation method, and with whom it forms aspects."
What is the difference between zodiac signs and houses?
Zodiac sign and house position are two different languages: the zodiac sign depends on the expression style, and the house position depends on the field of life. Mixing the two together is the main reason why astrology chart interpretation becomes shallow.
