Po Jun in the Wealth 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 Wealth Palace means money comes and goes fast and is hard to save; Master Ni says Po Jun signifies consumption and breakage so whether money stays depends on brightness and the stars sharing the palace. With Huo and Ling you rush about toiling, and it most fears Kong and Jie. Fallen, invest more effort. With Zi Wei money is like boiling water on snow, big in and big out, hard first and easy later; with Wu Qu it comes from the east and goes west and can't be kept; with Lian Zhen you can't rely on family savings and must earn from scratch.

Core reading
With Po Jun in the Wealth Palace, money coming and going is the norm. Master Ni says the meaning of the Po Jun star is consumption and breakage; like Qi Sha it both consumes and toils, so money moves in and out fast and is hard to save. But distinguish Temple from Fallen (Temple = strong, Fallen = weak): the book says "Po Jun in the Zi or Wu palace, much gold, silver and treasure accumulated," meaning that in the Zi or Wu palace you can actually store up treasure, and in the Prosperous positions Chen and Xu wealth energy is also strong; only when Fallen is it "broken, not accumulating the ancestral," meaning the ancestral property can't be kept. Volume 1 says generally that Po Jun "in the Wealth Palace is like hot water poured on snow," without distinguishing Temple from Fallen, meaning money melts away instantly like snow under hot water; this differs from Volume 2's "much gold, silver and treasure accumulated" in the Zi and Wu palaces; the two views coexist, and this platform reads by palace per Volume 2.

Sitting with Zi Wei, it's "hard first then easy," meaning tight in early years, robbing Peter to pay Paul, and gradually comfortable after middle age. The Complete Book's Po Jun entry also says "with Zi Wei, first going out then generating," meaning money goes out first and only later grows back.

The family's old savings can't be relied on; you have to earn money yourself from scratch.
Volume 2 on the Wealth Palace says Po Jun "in a Fallen palace, breaking without the ancestral gathering," meaning with Po Jun Fallen, the family property can neither be kept nor accumulated; Lian Zhen and Po Jun share a palace in Mao or You, exactly where Po Jun is Fallen (weak). The ancestral foundation can't be relied on, and money must be earned yourself from scratch. Po Jun itself leans toward consumption, with big swings in and out — coming fast, going fast — so it's best to first lock part of your gains into immovable safe assets. Master Ni looked at a case with Lian Zhen and Po Jun in the Wealth Palace and said plainly such a person "can't possibly go into business on their own — impossible, completely impossible" 〔Ni Haixia, Heavenly Records episode 27, 01:23〕.
