Tian Fu in the Parents 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 Parents Palace, the old book says both parents are alive and the family is secure. With Zi Wei there is no harm, nor with Lian Zhen or Wu Qu in Temple/Prosperous, but adding Yang, Tuo, Huo, Ling, Kong or Jie signifies injury. Zuo Fu and You Bi bring help from parents and bosses; Kong and Jie mean an empty family treasury or empty promises. With Wu Qu parents are practical and strict; with Lian Zhen the bond leans thin, and Huo and Ling make it tense.

In one sentence

With Tian Fu in the Parents Palace, the old book says "Tian Fu, both parents alive."

Core reading

With Tian Fu in the Parents Palace, the Complete Book says it plainly: "Tian Fu, both parents alive; with Zi Wei, also no harm; with Lian Zhen or Wu Qu, in Temple/Prosperous, no harm; adding Yang, Tuo, Huo, Ling, Kong or Jie, signifying injury." In plain language: both parents are alive and the bond is complete; sharing a palace with Zi Wei, no harm either; with Lian Zhen or Wu Qu, as long as Tian Fu is in Temple or Prosperous (both strong positions), no harm; but adding Qing Yang, Tuo Luo, Huo Xing, Ling Xing, Di Kong or Di Jie, it's not very favorable for your parents. Your parents are steady and down-to-earth, and the family has a certain material foundation. This palace also shows bosses: the relationship is stable and reliable and you easily win trust, but mostly advancement goes by seniority.

Basis in the chart

· Tian Fu in the Parents Palace — parents carry the air of a treasury; a secure family situation.

· Tian Fu in the Parents Palace meeting Zuo Fu and You Bi — double help from parents and bosses.

· Tian Fu in the Parents Palace meeting Kong and Jie — the family treasury turns up empty, or bosses make empty promises.

· Tian Fu meeting Wu Qu — parents value practical matters; a practical upbringing.

Classical sources

· Complete Book of Zi Wei Dou Shu, Volume 2 · Parents: "Tian Fu, both parents alive; with Zi Wei, also no harm; with Lian Zhen or Wu Qu, in Temple/Prosperous, no harm; adding Yang, Tuo, Huo, Ling, Kong or Jie, signifying injury."

When sharing the palace with Zi Wei · 800 sample charts
In one sentence

With Zi Wei in the Parents Palace, the old book says "Zi Wei, no harm": your bond with your parents is not thin, and they are respected and reliable.

Core reading

For Zi Wei in the Parents Palace, the old book gives only two words, "no harm," meaning your bond with your parents is unlikely to suffer harm or early separation; sharing a palace with Tian Fu, Tian Xiang or Tan Lang without malefic stars added likewise brings no such harm — this is the most important point for this palace. Your parents often have status or a strong presence and high expectations of their children; your dealings with bosses and elders also always carry a hint of hierarchy, so it's best to show some respect in your attitude. If Qing Yang, Tuo Luo, Huo Xing, Ling Xing, Di Kong or Di Jie are added, the bond is diminished and easily grows distant; sharing a palace with Po Jun, this distance comes even earlier.
