Tai Yang in the Parents Palace

Tai Yang is the noble star for men, ruling over reputation and public service; its transformed energy is Nobility. In the Life Palace it brings an open, upright character, suited to public office and work that builds a name.

Summary

Tai Yang in the Parents Palace shows the father; how thick the bond is depends on Tai Yang's brightness, the stars sharing the palace and malefic stars. Your father and bosses mostly exert influence in public settings. In Temple your father has high social standing and is an important benefactor; Fallen, the old book says harming the father, so you need to invest more effort with parents and elders. With Ju Men in Temple/Prosperous, Master Ni names the Ju-Ri Pattern, a literary expression only.
