In plain words

The notebook has five parts: one, checked details; two, the Life and Body palaces; three, the phase; four, the four positions and their stars; five, where this app draws no conclusion. Each part records chart facts and sources only, not good or bad.

What the text says

The Gu Sui Fu: place the body marker and the foundation is known; that is why the notebook starts with the Life and Body palaces.

Compare with your own chart

An everyday example

A notebook need not become a verdict about you. Keep a chart fact, a real example and an action to try, then revisit them. Record mismatches too.

Record a fact, example and action, including observations that do not fit.

CHECK YOURSELF

Now, try it yourself.

Answer both questions correctly to complete the lesson. The original explanation appears after each answer.

1. In the everyday example above, which next step makes the reading clearer?
2. What does each part of the notebook record?

FIND IT IN THE CHART

Find it on a chart.
