Health Palace
Health, constitution, and disease tendencies — the core palace for wellbeing.
Overview
The Health Palace governs health, constitution, and disease tendencies. The classics say it "governs the illnesses of the whole body" — the core palace for reading health. Its fortune directly affects constitution and wellbeing. Bright and auspicious means a strong body and few illnesses; fallen and afflicted means a weak constitution and chronic tendencies. Read it together with the San Fang Si Zheng (Property, Siblings, Friends palaces), plus the organs associated with each star's element.

How to judge
The Health Palace favors bright, auspicious stars — a strong constitution; fallen with fierce stars means a weak one. Earth-element stars: watch the spleen and stomach; Water: kidneys; Fire: heart; Metal: lungs; Wood: liver and gallbladder. With Tian Tong or Tian Liang, health is good; with Qi Sha or Po Jun, guard against accidents.
Empty Palace (No Major Star)
When the Health Palace has no major star, borrow the major star of the opposite palace (Property Palace). Such people's health is influenced by the home environment and living conditions — pay attention to home feng shui and food hygiene.
