天心 at 震宮: classical reading
When 天心 (the Heavenly Heart star, metal element) lands on the 震宮 east palace (wood element), the configuration combines the star's very auspicious register (medicine) with the palace's wood-element ground. The component's metal overcomes the palace's wood — pressing flow, the component pressures the palace..

When to look for this configuration
This combination is most relevant when your consultation involves sudden movement or eldest son register and the star-driven domain of medicine. A QMDJ forecasting consultation reads whether this configuration is actually present in your current chart and what it means.
Practical priorities
Non-native alignment — read the elemental interaction (the component's metal overcomes the palace's wood — pressing flow, the component pressures the palace.) to determine the strength and quality of the star's register at this palace.
Read the gate and spirit alongside the star on the same palace. A complete QMDJ reading is component-aware.
The default star tier is very auspicious, but the actual register at this palace depends on the elemental interaction (the star's metal element interacts with the palace's wood element) and what other components share the palace.
When is this star × palace combination relevant?
The combination is most relevant when your consultation question involves sudden movement and the star's domain of medicine.
