Tian Fu in the Wealth Palace

With Tian Fu in Temple/Prosperous (especially auspicious in the Chou, Wei, Si and Hai palaces) guarding the Wealth Palace, the Southern Dipper treasury in its home position is used to the fullest — a true sign of "a family fortune of ten thousand strings, undiminished for generations." Best suited to steady, long-held asset allocation: real estate in prime locations, blue-chip stocks, heirloom bonds and art collections — the more you hold, the richer you get.

Tian Fu is the treasury, best at keeping money; financial luck rises steadily — not chasing windfalls, but growing thicker with saving.

Zi Wei and Tian Fu together in the Wealth Palace make the chart of a money-management expert. Tian Fu is the treasury star, naturally good at managing and saving money. Volume 2 says "with Zi Wei, great accumulation," meaning that with Zi Wei added, the level of wealth is raised, the amount saved is large, and income mostly follows position and status. People with this chart spend with measure, invest conservatively and earn high long-term returns; further meeting Zuo Fu and You Bi, it's what the book calls "an official of finance," meaning a natural money-managing role.

The overall path to wealth rises, but if Qing Yang, Tuo Luo, Huo Xing, Ling Xing or Di Kong, Di Jie appear, the book says "success and failure," meaning there will be ups and downs along the way, not smooth sailing. The best way to make money is by advancing in your career and leading people to increase income, not by speculation and risk. With Zi Wei and Tian Fu in the Wealth Palace, you're mostly a manager in a private company, but the company isn't necessarily yours: managing money, holding power and owning a business are three different things.
