Start With a Question
A case study should answer one practical question. Listing every star usually hides the evidence instead of clarifying it.
Map the Evidence
The main palace names the subject, the opposite palace shows external pull, and the three supporting palaces add resources and outcomes.
Keep Three Layers Separate
Record what is on the chart, what you infer, and what the person reports. This prevents hindsight from becoming proof.
Two Examples
For savings, connect Wealth with Career, Life, and Outside. For relocation, connect Outside with Life, Career, and Property before deciding.
A Practical Reading Order
Start with the concrete question, identify the main palace, add the opposite and the three supporting palaces, and then check the major and annual timing. End with an observable next step instead of a fixed prediction.
