Within the philosophical principles of Zi Wei Dou Shu, the Life Palace refers to our essence, our innate qualities, physical, social and emotional potentials. In summary, this palace reveals the ultimate expression to be materialised by our body. It is also important to state that the Life Palace rules the first ten years of our life, which denotes the idea that the experience of the first decade shows potentialities that may develop throughout life.

After the first ten years of life we embark on a progressive journey through our chart in ten year cycles which we call the Greater Limits. The Greater Limit is a wide-range forecasting grid that aims to further amplify and illuminate our potentialities and goals. It appoints the time and rhythm needed to reach these goals, being as on our chart, each decade is highlighted by a specific theme that stands out and is dealt with in a more conscious way.

Within this setting, we can also direct the possibilities featured in the decade on a year-to-year basis through the Annual Transit, which is partly similar to the Solar Revolution of western astrology but has additional information. For example, if the potential to buy your own home is found in a Greater Limit, within this decade, which period will this be most likely to happen?

The Annual Transit will provide the signal. And within this year, which month will it be best to carry out the purchase? The Monthly Transit will enhance the search. And within the said month, which will be the specific moments to make a good deal? The Daily Transit will identify this even better.

The study of the Zi Wei astrology transits moves from macro to micro, favouring a more cohesive, insightful and precise diagnosis.
