The old book says this palace means "in Temple/Prosperous, marrying late is auspicious; marrying early brings harm," meaning in Temple (in Temple = the star is strong) marrying a bit later goes smoothly, while starting a family too early actually wears down the relationship; in Temple it also means "gaining nobility through the wife," meaning good opportunities and status come through your spouse, and if sharing a palace with Tian Liang plus Zuo Fu and You Bi, you can be matched with a virtuous, sensible partner.

· Complete Book of Zi Wei Dou Shu · Volume 2 · Spouse, entry on Tai Yin: "Tai Yin together means a helpful wife; with Ju Men and without Yang, Tuo, Huo, Ling, Kong or Jie, no harm; with these four malefics, or Kong and Jie, harm is certain; meeting Hao, the marriage is not by proper rites."
· Complete Book of Zi Wei Dou Shu · Volume 2 · Spouse, entry on Tai Yin: "Tai Yin in Temple, for both men and women a noble and beautiful couple; adding Chang and Qu, extremely beautiful; adding Yang, Tuo, Huo, Ling, Kong, Jie, Hao or Ji, if not harming, it signifies separation in life; with Tai Yang, growing old in harmony; with Tian Tong, a helpful wife; with Tian Ji, lovely, suited to a young partner."
When sharing the palace with Ju Men · 740 sample charts
Your partner is eloquent; it's best to marry a bit later and find someone somewhat older.
With Tai Yang and Ju Men in the Spouse Palace, your partner is eloquent and socially savvy, often works in public-facing jobs, and can bring connections to the family. The book says that with Tai Yang in Temple (the star is strong), it's better to marry later — marrying too early actually hurts the relationship; Ju Men here suits finding someone somewhat older, otherwise it's hard to get along. Only when the Spouse Palace lacks the four malefics Qing Yang, Tuo Luo, Huo Xing and Ling Xing is it easy to grow old together. But good stars in the Spouse Palace don't mean marriage comes early; Master Ni gave an example of Ju Men and a Prosperous Tai Yang together in the Spouse Palace, where Hong Luan and Tian Xi were slow to arrive, so marriage came late (Ni Haixia, Heavenly Records episode 27, 37:07—37:15).
