Health Palace
疾厄 · jí è
Overview
The Health Palace (疾厄宮) indicates physical constitution, health vulnerabilities, and characteristic illness patterns. The stars here suggest which body systems are naturally strong or weak, not specific diagnoses. A palace with challenging stars suggests areas requiring preventive attention rather than inevitable problems. The Chinese name (疾厄) literally translates to "illness and adversity," covering both physical health and the person's characteristic response to difficulty.
