Tian Fu in the Property 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
The Property Palace is one of Tian Fu's two most comfortable positions: land flourishes, you keep the ancestral estate and what you buy also prospers. With Zuo Fu and You Bi property is kept for generations; with Kong and Jie the treasury empties and property is hard to keep. With Zi Wei the estate flourishes, most of all what you acquire yourself; with Wu Qu real estate is your key asset; with Lian Zhen the ancestral property is hard to keep, and with Huo and Ling watch for fire at home.

Core reading
With Tian Fu in the Property Palace, the Complete Book says "Tian Fu, fields and gardens flourish, keeping the ancestral and self-acquired both prosper; with Zi Wei, great wealth," which in plain language means: property and land flourish, what's passed down from your ancestors can be kept, you can also afford to buy your own, and sharing a palace with Zi Wei it's even easier to build up a great family estate. Master Xiyi lists Property and Wealth as Tian Fu's "Temple joy" positions, meaning Tian Fu is most comfortable in these two palaces. Sharing a palace with Lian Zhen or Wu Qu, the book says "keeping the ancestral estate flourishing" — the ancestral family estate can be kept. Meeting Qing Yang, Tuo Luo, Huo Xing, Ling Xing, Di Kong or Di Jie, property actually decreases, with ups and downs; meeting Di Kong and Di Jie, the family fortune easily comes to nothing and the home is hard to keep; meeting Zuo Fu and You Bi, the ancestral estate grows ever more prosperous.

When sharing the palace with Zi Wei · 802 sample charts
The family estate flourishes, most of all the part you acquire yourself.
For Zi Wei in the Property Palace, the old book's verdict is "flourishing, self-acquired, prosperous," meaning the family estate thrives, and the most prosperous part is what you buy with money you've earned, while what your ancestors left is not the main thread (sharing a palace with Po Jun, the Zi Wei entry says "with Po Jun, retreating from the ancestral," while the Po Jun entry says "with Zi Wei, there is a ready-made family estate" — the two stand side by side); sharing with Tian Xiang, the Zi Wei entry says "with Tian Xiang, there is a ready-made family estate," while the Tian Xiang entry says "with Zi Wei, self-acquired" — the two stand side by side; the book also says "gaining Zuo, You, Chang and Qu." You care about style in your home, and property can be one of your main ways of saving. Adding Qing Yang, Tuo Luo, Huo Xing, Ling Xing, Di Kong or Di Jie, it becomes able to buy but unable to keep; acquire property steadily, and don't jump into several at once.

When sharing the palace with Wu Qu · 754 sample charts
Wu Qu specifically governs wealth and property; real estate is your key asset.
· Wu Qu in the Property Palace — property is your treasury; you value practical function.
· Wu Qu sharing a palace with Huo Xing or Ling Xing — the Complete Book's entry on Wu Qu in Property says "meeting Huo or Ling together is extremely beautiful, land flourishes" (this phrase follows "with Tan Lang, acquiring late"; the original does not make clear whether it applies only when Wu Qu and Tan Lang share a palace); for Wu Qu and Tan Lang together, the Tan Lang entry separately says "meeting Huo or Ling, keeps the ancestral estate and creates its own, but fire may burn the house." These views stand side by side.
· Complete Book · Volume 2 · Property: "Wu Qu alone in a Prosperous position inherits the grandfather's great estate; in a Fallen position, only after retreating does one succeed; with Po Jun and Da Hao, family property is squandered, and even if one has it, it doesn't last," "with Tian Xiang, first loss then gain; with Qi Sha, the heart is unwilling; with Tian Fu, keeps the established family estate; with Tan Lang, acquiring late; meeting Huo or Ling together is extremely beautiful, land flourishes; with Kong and Jie, gains and losses."

When sharing the palace with Lian Zhen · 666 sample charts
Ancestral property is hard to keep; you'll most likely have to acquire your own.
The old book on Lian Zhen in the Property Palace: "Lian Zhen breaks the ancestral," meaning the ancestral estate can't be kept and you'll most likely have to acquire your own home; sharing a palace with Qi Sha you also buy your own; with Tian Fu you can take over a ready-made family estate; with Tian Xiang "first nothing, then gain," meaning first you have none and later you do; with Tan Lang there is ancestral property, but it isn't kept long. The overall trend is that ancestral property is hard to keep and you mostly rely on acquiring your own.
· Lian Zhen in the Property Palace — the home has an artistic air, valuing atmosphere and design.
· Lian Zhen meeting Huo and Ling — risk of fire or accidents at home.
· Complete Book · Volume 2 · Property: "Lian Zhen breaks the ancestral; with Tan Lang, there is an ancestral estate, but it doesn't last; with Qi Sha, self-acquired; with Tian Fu, keeps the established family estate; with Tian Xiang, first nothing then gain."
