Li Shi in the Parents Palace calls for respecting and yielding to strong elders.
Reading Order
- Cast the natal chart first and locate the palaces and major stars tied to Li Shi in the Parents Palace before judging anything
- Open the triple-direction of those palaces and count the auspicious, malefic and assistant stars separately
- Check where the natal Four Transformations land to set the chart's baseline tone
- Read the decade-limit transformations to see whether the Li Shi in the Parents Palace line is activated in this stage
- Then read the annual transformations and the year's palace to pin down this year's trigger and timing
- Layer natal, decade and year before concluding, then decide how to act rather than labeling good or bad
