Zi Wei in the Siblings Palace
Zi Wei is the Emperor Star, ruling over dignity and rank; its transformed energy is Honor. In the Life Palace it brings natural leadership, suited to large platforms and senior positions.
Summary
For Zi Wei in the Siblings Palace, the old book says you have an older brother to rely on: among older siblings there is often one of higher status you will turn to in trouble. Siblings carry the emperor star's air, independent and outstanding, and with Zuo Fu and You Bi they help greatly and partnership luck is strong. Adding the six malefics brings harm and discord, and sharing with Sha, Po or Lang invites power struggles. In partnerships your partner has strong ideas, so settle roles and who decides first; when Zi Wei is Fallen, invest more effort.

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.
