Po Jun in the Siblings Palace
Po Jun is the star of destruction and renewal, with thin ties to close family; its transformed energy is Depletion. In the Life Palace it brings pioneering change, suited to technical specialities.
Summary
Po Jun in the Siblings Palace makes the sibling bond thin; the old book likens it to the Shen and Shang stars, each in its own place, meeting seldom, with partnerships that shift and break up. Yet in Temple you shouldn't conclude there is no bond; Fallen, you must nurture it more actively. With Zi Wei there is a reliable elder sibling to lean on, but agree on who decides; with Wu Qu siblings are few and often at odds; with Lian Zhen siblings are talented, and affection and interests should be separated early. Malefic stars bring loneliness and bitter partings.

Little time together with siblings; partnerships are changeable.
Core reading
Your bond with siblings is rather thin; Volume 1 says Po Jun means "in siblings, flesh and blood like Shen and Shang," meaning siblings are like the stars Shen and Shang — one rises as the other sets — each going their own way, with little time together. But the book says Po Jun in Temple (in Temple = strong) can give three, so don't read it across the board as no bond. With Qing Yang, Tuo Luo, Huo Xing, Ling Xing, Di Kong or Di Jie added, the book reads "loneliness." Partnerships are also changeable: partners are strong pioneers but can't hold steady, easily splitting up and getting back together.

When sharing the palace with Zi Wei · 709 sample charts
Among your siblings is an older, reliable one.
For Zi Wei in the Siblings Palace, the old book's verdict is "having an older brother to rely on," meaning among your older siblings there's often one with higher status who can back you up, and when you really run into trouble you'll most likely go to them. The number of siblings is counted in the old book according to the stars sharing the palace, and they may not be born of the same mother (the original words are "or born of different wombs"). With Qing Yang, Tuo Luo, Huo Xing, Ling Xing, Di Kong or Di Jie added, the old book's words are "harm; if there are any, lacking harmony": there is harm between siblings, and even if there are some, they don't get along. If you partner on something, your partner has a strong presence and their own ideas; it's best to clarify the division of labor and who makes the final call first, so you don't both want to be in charge with neither giving way.
