Core reading

With Tian Xiang in the Parents Palace, the old book says "Temple/Prosperous, no harm," meaning that in Temple (strong) you and your parents do not obstruct each other, your bond is deep, and there are few long separations. Your parents are loyal and honest, your family background is solid, and your upbringing valued integrity and practicality — "be an honest person" is something you heard all through childhood. Your relationship with bosses is by the book; you can earn basic trust, but your path to promotion is rather conservative, rarely featuring "exceptional promotions"; you are suited to staying in a stable organization and building trust bit by bit through long-term performance. If Qing Yang, Tuo Luo, Huo Xing, Ling Xing, Di Kong or Di Jie are added, it is "early harm," meaning your bond with elders thins early and you spend little time together; promises from elders or family contracts also easily change.
