Zi Wei in the Travel Palace

With Zi Wei in the Travel Palace, you will meet benefactors when you go out into the world. The old book specially notes "with Zuo and You," meaning that only with Zuo Fu and You Bi by your side does this promotion become real; Volume 1 also says that the Travel Palace is inherently a strong palace, but it still needs helpers; with auspicious stars shining on the Life Palace, this nobility is brought to you by others. When Zi Wei meets both Zuo Fu and You Bi, leaving your hometown for elsewhere makes it easier than staying home to meet people willing to promote you, and rising away from home goes smoothly. If Qing Yang, Tuo Luo, Huo Xing, Ling Xing, Di Kong or Di Jie are added, you can't settle down away from home, with much gossip and much rushing about. When Zi Wei and Tian Fu sit together in the Travel Palace in Yin or Shen with Qi Sha in the Life Palace, Master Ni calls it Qi Sha Facing the Dipper and speaks of it in terms of going abroad and guarding the frontier — this is said only of an age fitting such a role; the Complete Book · Marrow Rhapsody also has "Qi Sha facing the Dipper, titles and income flourishing."

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 travel and going out you need to actively invest more effort and cannot rely on instinct alone.
