Websites say my star is in a strong position. Why doesn't the app say so?

In plain words
You can now say which palace, which stars, and which palaces are opposite and in the four positions. Some things this app cannot conclude: star brightness, the meaning of the transformations, and minor or harsh stars are not computed or reviewed in this version. Stop at observation there, and say the app draws no conclusion on that point.
What the text says
The Tai Wei Fu asks the reader to understand how stars restrain each other and whether they sit in their own place before judging; this app does not compute those yet.
Compare with your own chart
Look at your Life Palace: name its stars, then name one thing the app does not conclude, such as the star's brightness.
An everyday example
A chart alone cannot answer whether a relationship will end. Reframe the question around communication habits worth observing, leaving real decisions with the people involved.
Replace an event verdict with a question that can be checked against experience.
CHECK YOURSELF
Now, try it yourself.
Answer both questions correctly to complete the lesson. The original explanation appears after each answer.
FIND IT IN THE CHART
Find it on a chart.
Say which major stars are in your Life Palace.

星有同躔，數有分定，須明其生剋之要，必詳乎得垣失度之分。
Stars share the same path, and the method has its own divisions; one must understand how they generate and restrain one another, and look closely at whether a star sits in its own place or out of it.
