What do I need to provide?

Your birth details, and then you draw seven cards yourself. You can also add a specific question before you draw, if you have one in mind.

What exactly do I get, and how soon?

An immersive reading of about 5,000 words in English, written around your own seven cards, emailed to you and saved in your member library. It is generated right after payment and usually arrives within minutes. NT$1,200, one payment, no subscription.

What is the inner palace, exactly?

It is a Taoist-rooted image, not a place. The reading walks you through five spaces, the gate, the living room, the bedroom, the kitchen and the garden, and each one mirrors an area of your life: how you meet the world, how you are with people, what you protect, what you feed yourself, and what you are growing.

How do I get the most out of it?

Read one room at a time rather than the whole thing at once. Ask yourself what that room looks like in your life right now, and what one small thing you would change in it. The rooms are there so that something vague becomes something you can point at.

An imagined palace for reflection

Yuan Chen Gong uses palace imagery in a spiritual tradition of inner exploration. Here, the rooms provide a framework for reflection; their imagined appearance does not establish facts about your life.

What does your palace look like?

You might picture a doorway, a living room, a bedroom or a garden. Each space offers a different prompt for considering your current experience.
