Tian Tong in the Travel Palace
Tian Tong is the star of blessings, ruling over gentleness and enjoyment; its transformed energy is Blessing. In the Life Palace it brings an easy-going nature and good fortune.
Summary
Tian Tong in the Travel Palace means benefactors' support away from home, in a gentle environment with few big storms. With Tian Liang you are loved by benefactors; with Ju Men, worry and gossip abroad; with Tai Yin the book says hardship, yet the Tai Yin entry says in Temple/Prosperous you can create wealth from nothing abroad, and both views stand. Caution: when Tian Tong is Fallen, invest more effort in travel; with Qing Yang, Tuo Luo, Huo Xing, Ling Xing, Di Kong or Di Jie, things abroad rarely go as wished and rushing about yields little.

Core reading
With Tian Tong in the Travel Palace, you often meet benefactors' help when away from home; the environment is gentle, with few big storms. The book says that sharing a palace with Tian Liang you're loved by benefactors and richly blessed; with Ju Men, worry; with Tai Yin, hardship; the Tai Yin entry says otherwise — with Tai Yin and Tian Tong in the same palace in a Temple/Prosperous position, going out you can create wealth from nothing and establish a family and career — the two views coexist. If Qing Yang, Tuo Luo, Huo Xing, Ling Xing, Di Kong or Di Jie are added, things away from home rarely go as you wish, and rushing back and forth yields limited gains.
