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.
Indicates that a person is constantly focusing his energy on himself, have great fortitude and emotionally strong. However, this can sometimes means stubbornness.
Indicates career is everything, a person of such is constantly in pursuit of leadership and recognition for what he does.
Indicates nothing is more important than money. a person of such is very economical and never wastes money.
A person of such loves to travel and doesn’t like to stay at one place for long. His working environment is always changing.
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.
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.
