Tian Ji in the Siblings Palace
Tian Ji is the star of intelligence, ruling over agility and quick thinking; its transformed energy is Goodness. In the Life Palace it brings a clever, adaptable mind, suited to advisory and planning roles.
Summary
Tian Ji governs siblings, so in the Siblings Palace it points to bright, flexible-minded brothers and sisters who each have their own ideas, with a relationship that often shifts; cooperation suits the short term. When Tian Ji is Fallen its energy is weak and you need to invest more actively in the sibling bond. The old book says in a fallen position siblings are at odds, and with Qing Yang, Tuo Luo, Huo Xing or Ling Xing they exist but bring harm. Meeting Kong and Jie, siblings scatter and partnerships rarely last.
