Tian Liang in the Parents Palace

Zi Wei Dou Shu emphasizes seeing Yin and Yang together; below are neutral reminders based on the features of this chart — knowing what to watch for lets you turn danger into safety.

◆ This palace's main star 【Tian Liang】 is Fallen and lacks energy; with parents and elders you need to actively invest more effort and cannot rely on instinct alone.

With Tian Ji in the Parents Palace, your parents are clever, and the family values learning.

· Tian Ji in the Parents Palace — clever parents; an upbringing that values intellect.

· Tian Ji meeting Kong and Jie in the Parents Palace — a distant relationship with parents; a thin bond.

· Complete Book of Zi Wei Dou Shu, Volume 2 · Parents: "Tian Ji in Temple/Prosperous, no harm; in a Fallen position meeting Yang, Tuo, Huo, Ling, Kong or Jie, lodging under two surnames, bowing to parents twice, or being adopted or marrying into the wife's family" "with Tai Yin, harm avoided; with Tian Liang, no harm — both require no malefics; if malefics are added, harm is still not avoided; with Ju Men, early harm."

▸ Complete Book of Zi Wei Dou Shu, Volume 2, readings for the twelve palaces (original text of Ming-Qing woodblock editions · reference from traditional schools, not Master Ni's method):

· Complete Book of Zi Wei Dou Shu · Volume 2 · Parents, entry on Tian Liang: "Tian Liang in a Fallen position adding Yang, Tuo, Huo or Ling, solitude and harm; abandoning the ancestors, marrying into the wife's family, changing the name and living with others; being raised by others avoids harm"

With Tai Yang in the Parents Palace, Tai Yang shows the father; how thick the bond is depends on Tai Yang's brightness, the stars sharing the palace and malefic stars.

· Tai Yang in the Parents Palace — your father and bosses mostly exert their influence in public settings.

· Tai Yang in Temple in the Parents Palace — your father has high social standing and is an important benefactor.

· Tai Yang Fallen in the Parents Palace — the old book's "in a Fallen position, harming the father": the father is harmed first.

· Complete Book of Zi Wei Dou Shu, Volume 1 · What Does Tai Yang Govern?: "In the Parents Palace, for a man it is simply the father star; with brilliance, auspicious; without brilliance, harming the father."

· Complete Book of Zi Wei Dou Shu, Volume 2 · Parents: "In reading parents, take the Tai Yang star as the father and the Tai Yin star as the mother. Tai Yang in a Fallen palace signifies harming the father first; the Tai Yin star in a Fallen palace signifies harming the mother first." "If both stars are in Fallen positions, judge only by the person's birth time: born by day, the father survives; born at night, the mother remains." "Tai Yang in Temple, no harm; in a Fallen position, harming the father; adding Yang, Tuo, Huo, Ling, Kong or Jie, harming the parents early" "with Ju Men plus the four malefics, Kong and Jie, early harm; with Tian Liang, no harm."

· Complete Book of Zi Wei Dou Shu, Volume 2 · Parents (Tai Yin, Tian Liang and Ju Men entries): "with Tai Yang and no four malefics, both parents alive" "with Tai Yang, harm comes late; adding the four malefics, Kong and Jie, also early harm" "with Tai Yang, little harmony"

· Ni Haixia, Heavenly Records episode 11, 13:06: "This is called not relying on the six relations — you can't rely on your parents, the Sun and Moon reversed"

· Complete Book of Zi Wei Dou Shu · Volume 2 · Parents, entry on Tian Liang: "Tian Liang in a Fallen position adding Yang, Tuo, Huo or Ling, solitude and harm; abandoning the ancestors, marrying into the wife's family, changing the name and living with others; being raised by others avoids harm"

With Tian Tong in the Parents Palace, your parents are gentle and easy to get along with.

With Tian Tong in the Parents Palace, your parents are gentle and easygoing, relations are relaxed, and bosses are fairly approachable, with little sense of pressure. The book says that with Tian Tong sitting alone in this palace and in Temple (strong), the parent-child bond rarely runs into problems; sharing a palace with Tai Yin, both parents are alive and well; with Tian Liang, either there's no awkwardness between you or the ancestral estate can't be kept; with Ju Men, you don't get along very well. If Qing Yang, Tuo Luo, Huo Xing, Ling Xing, Di Kong or Di Jie are added, your bond with your parents is incomplete; in the old days this was called "bowing to parents twice," meaning situations such as taking godparents, being adopted out, or being raised by others as a child.

· Tian Tong in the Parents Palace — parents are mostly gentle; a relaxed upbringing.

· Tian Tong meeting the six malefics — your parents' health suffers; take the initiative to care for them.

· Complete Book of Zi Wei Dou Shu, Volume 2 · Parents: "Tian Tong guarding alone in Temple/Prosperous, no harm; adding the four malefics, bowing to parents twice; with Ju Men, lacking harmony; with Tai Yin, both parents alive; with Tian Liang, no harm, or retreating from the ancestral estate; adding Yang, Tuo, Huo, Ling, Kong or Jie, parents incomplete."

· Complete Book of Zi Wei Dou Shu, Volume 2 · Parents (Tai Yin, Ju Men and Tian Liang entries): "with Tian Tong, extremely beautiful" "with Tian Tong, perhaps retreating from the ancestral, no harm" "with Tian Tong plus the four malefics, harm; without malefics, no harm"
