Tian Fu in the Siblings Palace
Tian Fu is the Southern Emperor and treasury star, ruling over stability and conservation; its transformed energy is Command. In the Life Palace it brings integrity and a talent for safeguarding wealth.
Summary
With Tian Fu in the Siblings Palace, the Complete Book says about five siblings, and Master Xiyi says Tian Fu is only ordinary here: siblings are stable but don't especially help you. Partners preserve gains and manage accounts and risk well; avoid excess conservatism and vague accounts. With Zuo Fu and You Bi, strong sibling support; with Zi Wei, an older sibling to rely on; with Wu Qu, few siblings, little harmony; with Lian Zhen, few but talented siblings, so separate affection from money early. Caution: with Kong and Jie, partnership money comes and goes.

When sharing the palace with Zi Wei · 829 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.
