Po Jun in the Spouse Palace

With Po Jun in Temple/Prosperous in the Spouse Palace or its Three Sides, your spouse has a distinctive personality; though the relationship isn't smooth, it's full of passion, and the experiences you pioneer together are actually the most precious wealth of the marriage.

Zi Wei Dou Shu emphasizes seeing Yin and Yang together; below are neutral reminders based on the features of this chart — knowing what to watch for lets you turn danger into safety.

◆ This palace's main star 【Po Jun】 is Fallen and lacks energy; in love and marriage you need to actively invest more effort and cannot rely on instinct alone.

Your partner has a distinctive personality; marriage easily fluctuates, and marrying a bit later is steadier.

With Zi Wei in Temple/Prosperous in the Spouse Palace, your spouse's nobility and energy reach their peak; the other person has considerable social standing, and the marriage brings you tremendous benefactor resources — a match others envy.

· Zi Wei in the Spouse Palace — your spouse carries the air of the emperor star, with strong presence, social standing and self-awareness.

· Zi Wei is subjective and stubborn — neither spouse yields easily, hence the image of "two emperors fighting for the throne."

· Zi Wei in the Spouse Palace fears Kong and Jie — signifying a hollow marriage, a spouse whose presence falls short, or many twists in love.

· Zi Wei favors late marriage — the old book says "Zi Wei guarding the Spouse Palace, better late than early"; thorough adjustment is needed.

· Traditional reading 〔school transmission · to be verified〕: "Zi Wei in the Spouse Palace signifies a dignified spouse of extraordinary bearing" (★Collation 2026-09-05: originally falsely attributed to "Complete Book of Zi Wei Dou Shu · Discussion of the Spouse Palace"; not found after full-text verification against the Wikisource rare edition of the Complete Book)

▸ Complete Book of Zi Wei Dou Shu, Volume 2, readings for the twelve palaces (original text of Ming-Qing woodblock editions · reference from traditional schools, not Master Ni's method):

· Complete Book of Zi Wei Dou Shu · Volume 2 · Spouse, entry on Po Jun: "Po Jun, harm for both men and women; separating and reuniting, signifying separation in life; with Wu Qu, harming three; with Lian Zhen, also harm and lacking harmony; with Zi Wei, an older wife is suitable."

Suited to late marriage; the two of you spend little time together, and your partner is hard-tempered.

With Wu Qu and Po Jun in the Spouse Palace, the old book says late marriage suits you, and starting a family too early brings many setbacks. Wu Qu itself carries a lonely air and is also called the widow's lodge; Po Jun's temper is unpredictable, so the two of you easily spend little time together, with the marriage going back and forth — the Complete Book's Po Jun entry says "with Wu Qu, harming three," meaning repeated harm in marriage, hard to settle in one go; your partner is tough-natured and doesn't play by the rules. Late marriage with room for each is better; meeting auspicious stars, you can gain wealth through your partner.

· Wu Qu in the Spouse Palace — your spouse is practical, capable and career-driven, with little tenderness.

· Wu Qu's heavy energy of solitude and harm — the old book says "Wu Qu guarding the Spouse Palace, better late than early."

· Wu Qu + Tan Lang in the Spouse Palace — they share a palace only in Chou and Wei, not in Hai or Zi, so by Master Ni's standard it's not true romance; the Complete Book's Wu Qu entry says "with Tan Lang, marrying late, no harm" — marrying late spares the relationship.

· Complete Book of Zi Wei Dou Shu · Volume 2 · Wives and Concubines: "Wu Qu, turning away and harming, should marry late; a couple of the same age are a match too; adding auspicious stars, gaining wealth through the wife; marrying under bad stars, losing property because of the wife" (★Collation 2026-09-06: the original "Wu Qu in the Spouse Palace signifies a resolute spouse, better to marry late" has no source in the rare edition; its meaning of "better to marry late" is this line of the rare edition, so it was replaced with the genuine quotation; "a resolute spouse" was extrapolated from the star's nature and has no basis in the rare edition, so it was deleted)

· Traditional saying 〔to be verified〕: "Wu Qu in the Spouse Palace, better to marry late" (★Collation 2026-06-05: Wu Qu's solitude and harm favoring late marriage is a traditional view; none of the rare editions of the Marrow Rhapsody, Tai Wei Rhapsody or Questions and Answers on the Stars contains this verbatim line; downgraded to a traditional saying pending verification)

· Traditional palace reading 〔school transmission · to be verified〕: "Wu Qu's partner is capable but quiet"

· Complete Book of Zi Wei Dou Shu · Volume 3 · On the Stars Sharing a Palace: "The Wu Qu star is a widow's star; with Huo Xing soft and weak, only if the wife usurps the husband's authority is harm avoided." (★Collation 2026-09-05: the original citation 〔Wu Qu guarding the Spouse Palace has the energy of solitude and harm, and must be paired with a gentle person to be good〕 could not be found after full-text verification against the Wikisource rare edition; replaced with the original text)

▸ Complete Book of Zi Wei Dou Shu, Volume 2, readings for the twelve palaces (original text of Ming-Qing woodblock editions · reference from traditional schools, not Master Ni's method):

· Complete Book of Zi Wei Dou Shu · Volume 2 · Spouse, entry on Po Jun: "Po Jun, harm for both men and women; separating and reuniting, signifying separation in life; with Wu Qu, harming three; with Lian Zhen, also harm and lacking harmony; with Zi Wei, an older wife is suitable."

With Lian Zhen and Po Jun together in the Spouse Palace, Master Ni reads "if not parting in life, then parting by death," regardless of gender; the Complete Book also says "also harm and lacking harmony" — it's hard to get along harmoniously.

The passage on Wives and Concubines in Volume 2 says "Po Jun, for both men and women, harm and parting, signifying separation in life," and with Lian Zhen in the same palace it's even "also harm and lacking harmony," meaning whether male or female, feelings get hurt, there's little time together and long separations come easily, with little harmony day to day; Master Ni says of Lian Zhen and Po Jun (or Lian Zhen and Tan Lang) in the Spouse Palace, "I see it's either parting in life or parting by death — up to now there's been no exception" (Ni Haixia, Heavenly Records episode 21, 32:57); further meeting Qing Yang, Tuo Luo, Huo Xing or Ling Xing, long separations come even more easily. The original text of the Lian Zhen entry in the Complete Book's Wives and Concubines chapter, "Yang, Tuo, Huo or Ling signify separation in life," doesn't say whether this means the same palace or meeting from the Three Sides, nor distinguish bright from dim, so it must be read together with which star it is and how they meet. Your spouse has a strong personality and won't compromise, and the relationship has big ups and downs.

Zi Wei Dou Shu emphasizes seeing Yin and Yang together; below are neutral reminders based on the features of this chart — knowing what to watch for lets you turn danger into safety.

· Lian Zhen in the Spouse Palace — your spouse is talented and charming, with a strong romance air.

· Lian Zhen + Qi Sha in the Spouse Palace — Master Ni says "Lian Zhen with Qi Sha is no problem; Lian Zhen with Qi Sha is very good"; unlike Lian Zhen with Tan Lang or Lian Zhen with Po Jun, it is not read as a major marital upheaval; the Complete Book separately says Lian Zhen "with Qi Sha, also harm," and Qi Sha "with Lian Zhen, separation in life" — the two views stand side by side, and this platform follows Master Ni (Ni Haixia, Heavenly Records episode 21, 32:57).

· Complete Book of Zi Wei Dou Shu · Volume 2 · Wives and Concubines: "Lian Zhen, a bridegroom three times; with Tan Lang, even more harm; with Qi Sha, also harm, and lacking harmony; adding Yang, Tuo, Huo or Ling, separation in life; with Tian Fu, growing old in harmony; those of tough nature, no harm" (★Collation 2026-09-05: the original citation 〔Lian Zhen in the Spouse Palace signifies many twists in love〕 could not be found after full-text verification against the Wikisource rare edition; replaced with the original text)

· Traditional saying 〔to be verified〕: "Lian Zhen and Tan Lang: men and women are lustful" (★Collation 2026-06-05: the rare-edition Marrow Rhapsody reads "Tan Lang, Lian Zhen and Po Jun are malign," and the Tan Lang entry in Questions and Answers on the Stars reads "meeting Tai Yin, it signifies debauchery"; "Lian Zhen and Tan Lang: men and women are lustful" has no verbatim match; downgraded to a traditional saying pending verification)

· Traditional palace reading 〔school transmission · to be verified〕: "Lian Zhen's partner is very attractive, but romance must be kept in check"

· Complete Book of Zi Wei Dou Shu · Volume 1 · Questions and Answers on the Stars · Lian Zhen: "Lian Zhen and Tan Lang in the Si or Hai palace, meeting auspicious stars, blessings abundant; after passing thirty, beware of a bad end" (★Collation 2026-09-05: the original citation 〔Lian Zhen guarding the Spouse Palace, meeting malefics signifies harm, meeting auspicious stars turns into deep affection〕 could not be found after full-text verification against the Wikisource rare edition; replaced with the original text)
