Major Period (大限)

Major Period is an encyclopedia term in Zi Wei Dou Shu. It names a specific layer of the system; read it by checking life/body palaces, twelve palaces, major stars, transformations, major/minor periods, and annual chart layers, then compare it with Zi Wei Dou Shu, Minor Period, Annual Fortune Chart (Zi Wei), Life Palace (Zi Wei) so the entry explains what the term means before it becomes advice.

Major Period belongs to the vocabulary of Zi Wei Dou Shu. A source-aware note should first define the system layer, then show which evidence is checked (life/body palaces, twelve palaces, major stars, transformations, major/minor periods, and annual chart layers) and only after that describe practical use or cautions.

To understand Major Period, identify its system layer and compare Zi Wei Dou Shu, Minor Period, Annual Fortune Chart (Zi Wei), Life Palace (Zi Wei). The practical question is not whether the word appears, but what life/body palaces, twelve palaces, major stars, transformations, major/minor periods, and annual chart layers says in this case and how much weight that evidence deserves.

In a FateFolio Zi Wei Dou Shu report, Major Period should be used as an explanatory anchor: define the term, show the observed evidence from life/body palaces, twelve palaces, major stars, transformations, major/minor periods, and annual chart layers, and point to the next related section rather than turning the term into a one-line verdict.

These references support the historical or structural background used to explain Major Period in Zi Wei Dou Shu. They are context anchors, not a substitute for checking the term within its own layer.
