The same star or pattern should not be read the same way everywhere. Location tells you what part of life is being activated.
For English readers, the key is to treat Zi Wei Dou Shu as a structured chart-reading method. Keep the traditional terms when they help search and recognition, but translate the idea into everyday language before making a judgment.
Location First
A money pattern in the Wealth Palace is about money. The same pressure in the Relationship Palace is about relationship dynamics.
Annual Timing
When a year lands in Wealth, money and cash flow become the first question. When it lands in Outside, movement and environment become the first question.
Plain Example
Do not read a symbol in isolation. Ask: Is this about work, money, travel, health, family, or relationship?
How to Use It
Always name the life area first, then read the symbol inside that area.
