Twins: How Do You Read Their Charts?
AI translated from the original Chinese.
As usual, I went to Dante Coffee for the appointment with the subject. One look at the chart, compared with her appearance, and I could roughly guess she was a talented woman with a strong sense of beauty. Most of the reading matched her life experience. The chart is as follows:
This chart, however, can't tell us much about the key points of her destiny, so as usual we reshape it into a suitable form:
The 酉 Palace and its three sides and four directions (巳, 丑, 卯):
- Double-star 殺破狼 (Sha Po Lang) with 魁鉞 (Kui Yue) and 昌曲 (Chang Qu), four 化權 (Quan) concentrated: wants to start a business or hold a managerial post, very likely a position managing finances, with satisfactory income.
- Romance stars gathered, 天姚 (Tian Yao), 咸池 (Xian Chi), 紅鸞 (Hong Luan): a strong sense of beauty. Rich in feeling, likely with an artist's temperament.
The 子 Palace and its three sides and four directions (申, 辰, 午)
- 天機 (Tian Ji) meeting 同梁 (Tong Liang), four 化科 (Ke) concentrated**: well-versed in letters; combined with the romance stars seen in 酉, she should be good at calligraphy, painting, design or other arts.
From this analysis we can see that the subject's outward character differs greatly from her inner self. After describing her character in broad strokes, I asked as usual:
- Q: "Is there any part of the life qualities I described that doesn't fit?"
- A: "Almost all of it fits, but the finance part doesn't seem very accurate."
What Actually Happened
The subject is an illustrator who uses bold colors, is highly creative, and is full of artistic temperament.
I thought some error in a reading is possible, so I didn't pay much attention to that detail, and continued discussing the chart with her. Almost everything we discussed touched the key points of her life. Three hours later, as the reading wound down and I was putting my iPad into my backpack, she suddenly said: "My older sister and I are twins."
I was stunned, immediately took the iPad back out, opened the chart app, and said:
- Me: "I didn't know you were a twin. If you were the older twin it'd be fine, but you're the younger one. The calculation is different..."
- Subject: "......"
- Me: "......"
- Subject: "But what you just read mostly matched reality. Do you have to redo it all?"
- Me: "We'll have to draw the chart to know."
From this chart, how do we tell the older twin from the younger?
The subject was born in a 戌 year, so 太陰 (Tai Yin) in the 戌 Palace is the older sister; 天府 (Tian Fu) in the older sister's 兄弟宮 (Siblings Palace) is the younger sister.
Let's look at the reshaped chart again:
The chart's core is still the 酉 Palace. The older sister, "太陰," is in "甲辰":
- 甲辰: 廉貞 (Lian Zhen) becomes 化祿, 破軍 (Po Jun) becomes 化權, 武曲 (Wu Qu) becomes 化科, auspiciously transforming the 酉 Palace.
The younger sister, "天府" + "天姚" + "天魁 (Tian Kui)," is in "癸卯":
- 癸卯: 破軍 becomes 化祿, 貪狼 (Tan Lang) becomes 化忌
The older sister's 甲 auspiciously transforms the 酉 Palace, bringing a specialty in "managing finances," while the younger sister's 癸 brings an artist's temperament to the 酉 Palace. So I—
- Q: Earlier I said you were very likely in a position managing finances, with satisfactory income. You said everything else fit, so I'm guessing your sister is the one who "manages finances"!
- A: Yes, my sister works in HR.
- Q: You are 天府 with 天姚 and 天魁, very much your own person, so within the double-star 殺破狼 pattern, you are the illustrator who expresses the extreme "artist's temperament."
- A: That's right!
At first I thought the "finance" trait simply didn't show in her character, and even dismissed it as a small error in the reading. I never imagined it was because she is the younger twin, and so received not the "finance" trait but the "artistic" one.
From now on, before a reading, besides asking clearly for the place and time of birth, I must ask one more question: "Are you a twin?" Otherwise an inaccurate reading is a great waste of time!
