8. Friend Palace
Friend Palace represents the relationship between a person and his or her friends. What type of friends dose a person have, good friends or bad friends. Friend palace is formerly called Servant palace. Today most people just call it friend palace.
9. Career Palace
Career Palace represents a person’s career. What type of occupation a person has. Is he or she making money from his or her occupation. Dose a person feels good or bad about his or her occupation. How dose a person’s life being affected by his or her occupation.
10. Estate Palace
Estate palace represents a person’s possession, most importantly, the possession of real estate. Literally, in Chinese, the Estate palace is called farm and real estate palace
11. Pleasure Palace
Pleasure palace represents a person’s interest and hobby. How a person spends his or her money. This palace is also very important, similar to the life, it is about a person’s psyche and feelings.
12. Parent Palace (Physical Appearance Palace)
Parent Palace represents the relationship between a person and his or her parents including his or her employer or superior. In some branches of Polaris astrology, the Parent palace is also called the Physical appearance palace.
13. Body Palace
According to most of the Polaris astrology litterateurs, the Life palace is called “before heaven” it represents a person’s innate abilities or personalities that he or she is born with. The Body palace is called “after heaven”. It represents the abilities a person could acquire or achieve, if he or she worked hard enough. According to some astrologers, the importance of the Body palace is no less then the Life palace and the pleasure palace.
In addition, some astrologers believe that because the life palace is before heaven and the Body palace is after heaven, the Life palace represents the earlier part of a person’s life which is before the age of forty. The Body Palace represents the later part of a person’s life, after the age of forty. Therefore, when analyzing the earlier part of a person’s life, The life palace should receive more focus then the Body palace. Vice versa for analyzing the later part of a person’s life. This concept is only supported by a small group of astrologers, and I currently do not have enough statistic to confirm it.
Palaces that are Shared by the Body Palaces
Due to the rules on determining the Life palace and the body palace, the Body palace can only share its location with one of the following six palaces:
1. Life Palace 2. Career Palace 3. Wealth Palace
4. Journey Palace 5. Spouse Palace 6. Pleasure Palace
Whichever palace the Body palace shears with, It is where one’s energy is mostly focus on.
Body Palace and Life Palace Together
Indicates that a person is constantly focusing his energy on himself, have great fortitude and emotionally strong. However, this can sometimes means stubbornness.
Body Palace and Career Palace Together
Indicates career is everything, a person of such is constantly in pursuit of leadership and recognition for what he does.
Body Palace and Wealth Palace Together
Indicates nothing is more important than money. a person of such is very economical and never wastes money.
Body Palace and Journey Palace Together
A person of such loves to travel and doesn’t like to stay at one place for long. His working environment is always changing.
Body Palace and Spouse Together
Because such person is constantly focusing his or her energy on spousal matters and family life, his or her emotion on such matters is highly sensitive. Thus, it can be interpreted as emotionally weak. Any minor wrong doings from the spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend can hurt his or her feelings.
Body Palace and Pleasure Palace Together
Such person is constantly in pursuit of his hobbies and interest. He can be emotionally distressed if his occupation is not in the field of his interest.
*Please be advised that the above definitions are only general descriptions. Whether it is auspicious or inauspicious depends on stars in its palace, the opposite palace and companion palaces etc.
Major Fortune and Minor Fortune
While the 12 Palaces represent all the aspects of one’s life, Major-fortune and Minor-fortune represent the fortunes or the happenings that had or will occur to a person during particular period of his or her life.

Teens may be one of the hardest to decorate for. Deep into their independent stage, teens often are just learning what they like and who they want to be. While some teens may be impressionable and want to copy everything about their favorite rock star, painting a mural of their star on their bedroom wall, may not be the best idea in terms of future decorating ideas. The following is a list of teens bedroom styles that might work for your home. Teenagers thoughts change everyday so give them plenty of time to make up their minds on the theme they want to go with and let them know that once you start that is the theme they will have.
1. If your teens carpet has seen better days but is still hanging in there, you can buy some affordable fabric paint and either create squares covering those not so good areas, or a full out artsy look by creating splashes of paint around the carpet giving it a far out style. Frame all artwork or posters with home made frames or simple wooden frames painted a multitude of colors. Depending on what your child may have in mind, you can even allow her to paint a mural on one wall encouraging her to express her creative side in a positive manner. If your teen is more into sewing or design work, let her create her own pillows or curtains.
2. Is the furniture looking a little old? Let your teen grab multiple colors of pray paint to create a whole new look. Whether they choose to do black, florescent pink, green or blue, they will not only have fun but create a whole new style for their furniture. Teen boys an often be difficult to decorate for. Allowing them to add their own flair by choosing their own comforter and pillow mix can get your teen boy more into it. Allow black for carpet, lamp shades, and other accessories as long as he doesn’t want to paint the walls black.

Their all lots of different kids murals that will be suitable for a teenagers room.Although there are many teens bedroom styles ideas to choose from, allowing your teen to add his own feel will help you to reconnect with your child and let you keep in touch with who they are growing up to become.

We as westerners LOVE rules. We live by rules, create rules, and slather ourselves with rules at every opportunity. If rules were tangible objects, we would roll in piles of them at every opportunity. We like information to be packaged neatly, delivered in measurable doses (whether it’s good for us or not).
But unfortunately feng shui is the opposite of this. Feng shui has no rules. And that can drive most western minds a bit batty. “But wait!” you might say. “What about the bagua? What about elements? What about all that I read in the books? What about the tips you send us in your newsletter?” And to this I would say, these all are lovely things, helpful things, guidelines if you will… but by themselves they are NOT feng shui. Rules only create fear, the sense of right and wrong, and a human sort of rigidity that is limited and dull.
If you’re scratching your head right now trying to follow these sentences, you’re not alone. But try this on for size:
How might it be possible for a rule, a book, or a definable solution be available for the unique, magical, once-in-a-lifetime-experience that is Y-O-U? That’s right. You. You and all your amazingly perfect, unique, never-before-seen mixture of beliefs, experiences, DNA and circumstances. All of these things make up cute, lil’ ol’ you. Someone the earth has never witnessed before, and never will witness again. No one ever has been, or ever will be like you. The same goes for your home. Of all the millions and billions on the planet, your home is unlike any other. It’s unique, and will never exist again. When you combine your uniqueness, and that of your homes, you get one whammy of specialness! And this unique mixture requires a unique healing approach.
Learning about feng shui is wonderful. Understanding elements is important. Using the bagua can be amazing. But after learning it all, the true key to understanding feng shui is to throw it all away. To wipe the mind clean of all that it’s learned so that it can see your space fresh — this unique home that has never existed before. Like a truly brilliant painter, they may start by learning techniques, color combinations, design, theory, composition and form. But in order to create artwork that can bring a man to tears, those images must flow from the brush as if they were channeling the divine.
If anyone approaches true energetic feng shui solely from their mind, or approaches a feng shui transformation with “a plan”, their results will be limited and blossoming out of fear & limitation. I recently read an article stating that peach was “dangerous” – yes, dangerous! Yet blanket statements like this can never be true. True knowing comes from the unknown. It comes from asking God, intuition, or the mysterious, expansive Universe for the true answers…and learning how to stay out of your own way to hear its thoughts. If rules worked, then we would all eat the same food, live in the same sort of houses, all love the same color, have the same job, and wear the same clothes. There would be no variety, because we would live by “the rules”. We would all paint our wealth corners pretty purple, and that would be that.
If this makes no sense, no worries. But I will assure you, your goal on this planet is not to obtain more information or gain more rules. We are here to undo and un-know and un-learn EVERYTHING. Our true test, and the hardest one, is to merge back to the place where we started — like a child, when everything was alive, new, connected, and loving. Put down the feng shui books, the rules you’ve learned and all that you know. Walk into your home today as if you’d never seen it before. Open your eyes. Open your heart. Empty your mind. Then tell me what you see… And even more importantly, tell me what you FEEL.
HOMEWORK: from this clear, empty, neutral stance, feel how your body and emotions react to your home. Stand in every doorway, sit in every single chair, walk through every room, touch every object. Do you light up or do you contract? And what actions will you take from this new wisdom about your space? … no rules, no regulations, no guidelines…only fun, fun, FUN!
