Tian Tong in the Parents 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 Parents Palace shows gentle, easygoing parents, a relaxed upbringing and fairly approachable bosses with little pressure. The book says Tian Tong alone in Temple rarely brings problems in the parent-child bond; with Tai Yin both parents are well, while with Ju Men you do not get along very well. Meeting the six malefics makes the bond with parents incomplete and their health weaker, so take the initiative to care for them. With Ju Men, Tian Tong is Fallen and lacks energy, so you need to invest more effort with parents and elders.

Core reading

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.
