Property Palace (Tian Zhai Gong): Meaning, Triad & the 14 Major Stars
The Property Palace shows home, real estate, living environment and household atmosphere, and is also seen as the treasury. This page covers what it shows, its opposite and triad palaces, empty palaces, the four transformations here, and the fourteen major stars in it.
What the Property Palace shows
The Property Palace shows home, real estate, living environment and household atmosphere, and is also seen as the treasury: whether the money you earn stays with you.
Modern reading
Modern use maps it to property, asset accumulation and family foundation; read with the Wealth Palace — one shows earning, the other keeping.
Opposite palace and triad
The Property Palace's opposite is the Children Palace; its triad palaces are the Siblings Palace and the Health Palace. When you read the Property Palace, these four palaces 'shine' onto it together and should be read as one picture.
Its opposite is the Children Palace: home and residence are tied to children and creation.
If the palace is empty
A palace with no major star is called empty; borrow the major stars of its opposite (the Children Palace) to read it, discount the borrowed stars, and then add the palace's own companion stars, harsh stars and transformations.
Four transformations in the Property Palace
Hua Lu, Hua Quan, Hua Ke and Hua Ji falling into the Property Palace activate the area of home and holdings: Hua Lu tends to bring affinity and ease, Hua Quan control and initiative, Hua Ke reputation and benefactors, Hua Ji fixation and lessons. The site has a separate entry for each, linked below.
The fourteen major stars in the Property Palace
Each of the fourteen major stars behaves differently in the Property Palace. The site has a separate entry for each star, covering temperament, career, love and wealth — see the links below.
Common misconceptions
1) A strong Property Palace doesn't promise property ownership; it shows tendencies for accumulation and roots. 2) Hua Ji here usually points to attachment or worry about home and assets. 3) Claims about 'ancestral estate' vary widely between schools.
How to read it
Start with stars and brightness; then the opposite Children Palace and the triad (Health, Siblings); for overall wealth, read with the Wealth and Spirit palaces.
