Reading Order

1. Cast the natal chart first and locate the palaces and major stars tied to Shuai in the Friends Palace before judging anything
2. Open the triple-direction of those palaces and count the auspicious, malefic and assistant stars separately
3. Check where the natal Four Transformations land to set the chart's baseline tone
4. Read the decade-limit transformations to see whether the Shuai in the Friends Palace line is activated in this stage
5. Then read the annual transformations and the year's palace to pin down this year's trigger and timing
6. Layer natal, decade and year before concluding, then decide how to act rather than labeling good or bad
