In plain words
The final exercise reads your own chart in the order from lesson 31, then adds the time layers: which palace is this year's Life Palace. By the end you should be able to say whether each sentence is a chart fact, classical text or an app rule.
What the text says
The Tai Wei Fu takes body and life as the root; the final exercise starts there too.
Compare with your own chart
Last step: say which of your palaces is this year's Life Palace.
An everyday example
For the final exercise, choose a question that matters and return to life after reading: what is clearer, what remains uncertain and what will you try? Reading a chart is a way to organise reflection, not surrender decisions.
Summarise one insight, one open question and one practical small action.
CHECK YOURSELF
Now, try it yourself.
Answer both questions correctly to complete the lesson. The original explanation appears after each answer.

大抵以身命為福德之本，加以根源為窮通之資。
On the whole, the body and life markers are taken as the root, and the origins as the measure of how far one goes.
