Zi Wei in the Spouse Palace

With Zi Wei in Temple/Prosperous in the Spouse Palace, your spouse's nobility and energy reach their peak; the other person has considerable social standing, and the marriage brings you tremendous benefactor resources — a match others envy.

With Zi Wei Fallen in the Spouse Palace, your spouse's nobility is somewhat diminished; their status may fall short of expectations, or the two of you aren't well matched in presence, so the balance of energy in the relationship easily tips — more patience and tolerance are needed.

Zi Wei Dou Shu emphasizes seeing Yin and Yang together; below are neutral reminders based on the features of this chart — knowing what to watch for lets you turn danger into safety.

◆ This palace's main star 【Zi Wei】 is Fallen and lacks energy; in love and marriage you need to actively invest more effort and cannot rely on instinct alone.

Your spouse is dignified and steady with a rather hard temper; only marrying a bit later lasts easily.

With Zi Wei and Tian Fu together in the Spouse Palace, your partner most likely has proper looks and a steady bearing, a rather hard temper and a strong mind of their own. Volume 2 says Zi Wei in the Spouse Palace means "engaged late, growing old in harmony, tough-natured," and Tian Fu "marrying late, growing old in harmony," which in plain language means: these two stars say the same thing — only by marrying a bit later can you grow old together, and your partner is tough-natured. Starting a family too early actually makes adjusting hard.

Your partner is most likely good with money and at running a household, and may also have a certain career position or the ability to lead a team. You relate as "respecting each other like guests," meaning courteous and mutually respectful, both putting family stability first. Both of you care about face, and occasional fights are mostly over who has the final say. If Qing Yang, Tuo Luo, Huo Xing, Ling Xing or Di Kong, Di Jie appear, the book says "marrying late avoids harm," meaning postponing the wedding reduces harm; marrying early easily brings hurt. The Complete Book's Wives and Concubines chapter reads: Zi Wei "adding Yang, Tuo, Huo or Ling, also harm," Tian Fu "seeing Yang, Tuo, Huo, Ling, Kong or Jie, marrying late avoids harm"; the original doesn't say whether this means the same palace or meeting from the Three Sides, nor does it distinguish bright from dim, so it must be read together with which star it is and how they meet.

With Zi Wei in Temple/Prosperous in the Spouse Palace, your spouse's nobility and energy reach their peak; the other person has considerable social standing, and the marriage brings you tremendous benefactor resources — a match others envy.

Your partner is multi-talented and popular; you need to be more tolerant with each other.

With Zi Wei and Tan Lang in the Spouse Palace, your partner is most likely socially active with strong interpersonal charm, their looks and bearing often admired by those around them, possibly working in entertainment, food and hospitality, or beauty-related industries. Tan Lang is the romance star, but Master Ni set a major principle — only in Hai or Zi is it true romance; in Wu it's a military-office star (Ni Haixia, Heavenly Records episode 9, 02:54, 03:14); Zi Wei and Tan Lang share a palace only in Mao or You, not in Hai or Zi, so you can't say there are many romantic temptations the moment you see Tan Lang. Your partner dated many people before marriage; after marriage the two of you need to be more tolerant.

Your partner is kind, gentle and good-looking, and the two of you will most likely grow old together in peace.

With Zi Wei and Tian Xiang in the Spouse Palace, your partner is kind, modest and good-tempered; Master Ni says meeting Tian Xiang in a partner is best. The book says this combination can grow old together; your partner is good-looking and virtuous, with a large age difference (in one place the book says a younger partner suits you, in another an older one), and there are also cases of marrying within the circle of relatives. The marriage values order and measure — stable but not very romantic; with Qing Yang, Tuo Luo, Huo Xing, Ling Xing, Di Kong or Di Jie added, it turns into mutual draining and hurting. The Complete Book's Wives and Concubines chapter reads: Zi Wei "adding Yang, Tuo, Huo or Ling, also harm," Tian Xiang "adding Yang, Tuo, Huo, Ling, Kong or Jie, harm"; the original doesn't say whether this means the same palace or meeting from the Three Sides.

With Zi Wei Fallen in the Spouse Palace, your spouse's nobility is somewhat diminished; their status may fall short of expectations, or the two of you aren't well matched in presence, so the balance of energy in the relationship easily tips — more patience and tolerance are needed.

Only marrying later is stable; early marriage brings bumps; your partner is strong-natured, and neither of you yields.

With Zi Wei and Qi Sha in the Spouse Palace, your partner is assertive and opinionated, and neither of you is willing to show weakness. The book reads Zi Wei in the Spouse Palace as "late betrothal, growing old in harmony" and Qi Sha as "or marrying late avoids harm," both meaning only by marrying later can you grow old together and suffer less hurt; starting a family too early easily leads to hurting each other. Volume 1 also says Qi Sha in the Spouse Palace means "the mandarin-duck quilt half cold," meaning even sharing a bed there's little warmth — the relationship is rather cool. Your partner most likely works in management or runs their own business.
