Tian Xiang in the Siblings Palace

Tian Xiang is the seal star of support, ruling over loyalty and honesty; its transformed energy is Seal. In the Life Palace it brings integrity, suited to administration and legal affairs.

Summary

Tian Xiang in the Siblings Palace shows honest, reliable siblings with few major conflicts, the kind who can lend you money at critical moments but are not decision-makers. With Zuo Fu and You Bi partnerships are very stable; with Kong and Jie the seal star is damaged, bringing contract disputes. With Zi Wei there is a reliable older sibling, though Sha, Po or Lang bring power struggles; with Wu Qu siblings are practical and the six malefics mean being alone; with Lian Zhen siblings are few but talented, so separate affection from money early.

Tian Xiang alone in this palace · 2,319 sample charts

In one sentence

Two or three siblings, honest and reliable but not decision-makers.

Core reading

Your siblings are honest and sincere. The old book says Tian Xiang in the Siblings Palace is "peaceful, two or three," meaning not many, roughly two or three, with few major conflicts — the kind of support that "can lend you money at critical moments"; your partners are also down-to-earth, good administrative and supporting partners, but lacking in leadership, so you have to set the direction. With Zuo Fu and You Bi both in the Siblings Palace, there are more siblings and they're more capable; the old book says of You Bi "with Fu, Xiang, Zi Wei, Chang and Qu, four or five," meaning that when You Bi shares a palace with Tian Fu, Tian Xiang, Zi Wei, Wen Chang and Wen Qu, there may be four or five. Meeting Qing Yang, Tuo Luo, Huo Xing, Ling Xing, Di Kong or Di Jie, the old book says "seeing malefics, none at all," and also "alone": no siblings, or alone. Meeting Di Kong and Di Jie, the "seal" of the Siblings Palace is damaged, so be especially careful with partnership documents and guarantee signatures.

When sharing the palace with Zi Wei · 744 sample charts
In one sentence

Among your siblings is an older, reliable one.

Core reading

For Zi Wei in the Siblings Palace, the old book's verdict is "having an older brother to rely on," meaning among your older siblings there's often one with higher status who can back you up, and when you really run into trouble you'll most likely go to them. The number of siblings is counted in the old book according to the stars sharing the palace, and they may not be born of the same mother (the original words are "or born of different wombs"). With Qing Yang, Tuo Luo, Huo Xing, Ling Xing, Di Kong or Di Jie added, the old book's words are "harm; if there are any, lacking harmony": there is harm between siblings, and even if there are some, they don't get along. If you partner on something, your partner has a strong presence and their own ideas; it's best to clarify the division of labor and who makes the final call first, so you don't both want to be in charge with neither giving way.
