Twelve Palaces: Map & Meanings

Overview

Typical references include: Life palace (glabella), Wealth (nose tip/wings), Spouse (outer eye/temple), Children (under‑eye), Travel (brow tail/upper temple), Health (bridge/root). Schools differ; rely on cross‑checking.

Examples

Full nose tip/wings: resource capacity; smooth spouse palace: relationship ease; full children palace: affinity with juniors. When signs conflict, follow the dominant theme and majority of evidence.

Practical use

Turn the palaces into a checklist. For each theme, gather both supporting and weakening signals, then give a probabilistic read with advice.

Palace‑by‑Palace Quick Notes

Life (glabella): openness and ease at starts; very cramped or shadowed reads as cognitive load—improve sleep and boundary‑setting.

Wealth (nose tip/wings): see the Wealth theme page for detailed workflows; avoid reading the tip without the wings and chin.

Spouse (outer eye/temple): smooth texture reads as relationship ease; very cramped space with deep static lines → mind reactivity, strengthen repair rituals.

Children (under‑eye): full/bright read as warm mentoring; persistent puffiness → rest and medical check if needed.

Travel/Movement (upper temple/brow tail): open and bright reads as mobility/confidence; very tight + harsh brows → plan transitions with more margin.

Career (cheeks/cheekbones): structure without harsh angles reads as steady organisational power when paired with a clear jawline.

Property/Home (around the mouth/chin): full lips with a secure chin read as ‘settling’ capacity; thin lips + very soft chin → keep commitments small and modular.

How to Use the Map Without Overfitting

Run one theme per session. If you try to read wealth, relationships and health at once, the palace map becomes a search‑for‑confirmation tool.

Use the map as a checklist. For each selected theme, gather supporting and weakening signals. Only then summarise in a short, kind paragraph.

Add context tags: age, life stage, profession, recovery state. Many signals simply mirror sleep, stress and lighting.

From Map to Advice

Summarise in the structure: *dominant asset → likely friction → two concrete supports*. Example: ‘Steady capacity with generous outflow; risk of over‑extension during good times; run tiered budgets and 24‑hour holds for non‑essentials.’

Prefer reversible experiments: try a four‑week habit block, then keep/adjust/drop based on results.
