——《三命通会》

What it means

Huagai (华盖, the Canopy) takes the storehouse branch of a Three-Harmony bureau—e.g., Chen for Shen-Zi-Chen. It marks a lofty, solitary nature, often inclined to loneliness and discussed for monks, Taoists and artists; even in a noble pattern it is not free of solitude. With the Direct Seal and Post-horse it becomes the 'seal of office,' a mark of high commission; seen at the birth hour or conception palace it often indicates adoption or birth to a concubine. Two-sided in fortune, it must be read with the whole chart.
