In plain words
Find the year's Life Palace, then from it count the year's Partner, Career and Wealth palaces in the usual order. Each falls on one of your natal palaces, and you read that palace's stars. This is a structural reading, not good or bad.
What the text says
Volume 3: for Tai Sui, look at its trines and opposite; the year is read with the same relations between palaces as the natal chart.
Compare with your own chart
Say which palace is this year's Life Palace, then open the This Year analysis and compare the three topic palaces it lists.
An everyday example
Compare this year's and last year's starting positions. If birth data or natal stars also differ, check whether another person's chart is selected before treating the difference as a yearly change.
Confirm identical birth data before comparing years.
CHECK YOURSELF
Now, try it yourself.
