Tai Yin in the Career Palace
Tai Yin is the moon star of wealth and refinement, ruling over property and prosperity; its transformed energy is Riches. In the Life Palace it brings emotional sensitivity, and it is the finest star for a woman's chart.
Summary
Tai Yin in the Career Palace suits civil posts and a fixed salary, with fields like real estate, arts and letters, finance and beauty. In Temple your career is smooth and stable and status comes easily, and meeting Tai Yang, Chang, Qu, Zuo Fu and You Bi brings quite high rank; Fallen, you must invest more effort. With Tian Ji you suit public-sector posts and a stable position; with Tai Yang you can manage people and money, though a Fallen Tai Yang makes promotion hard; with Tian Tong you suit a fixed salary in public institutions or schools, without risks.

Tian Ji and Tai Yin in the Career Palace: suited to public-sector and civil posts, establishing yourself in a stable position rather than pioneering boldly.
With Tian Ji and Tai Yin in the Career Palace, your career mainly runs on brainpower. In the Complete Book's Career section, both the Tian Ji and Tai Yin entries say "gaining a foothold as a clerk," meaning establishing yourself through public service or a fixed position; Master Ni also designates Ji-Yue-Tong-Liang (Tian Ji, Tai Yin, Tian Tong, Tian Liang) as a chart for public-sector jobs, meaning drawing a fixed salary in a government unit, school or large institution suits your nature best, fitting work like clerical, administrative, research and finance. Master Ni also says "unless Ke, Quan or Lu meet it, only then will there be a situation of doing business" (Ni Haixia, Heavenly Records episode 27, 15:51).
