Tian Ji in the Parents 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 in the Parents Palace indicates clever parents and an upbringing that values learning. The Complete Book says Tian Ji in Temple/Prosperous brings no harm; with Tai Yin or Tian Liang harm is avoided, provided no malefics are present; with Ju Men, early harm. Caution: Fallen and meeting Yang, Tuo, Huo, Ling, Kong or Jie, the old book speaks of lodging under two surnames, two sets of parents, adoption or marrying into the wife's family; with Kong and Jie the bond is thin and distant. When Tian Ji is Fallen, invest more effort with parents and elders.
