Tian Ji in the Travel Palace
Tian Ji is the star of intelligence, ruling over agility and quick thinking; its transformed energy is Goodness. In the Life Palace it brings a clever, adaptable mind, suited to advisory and planning roles.
Summary
Tian Ji in the Travel Palace signifies movement and relocation, with many opportunities to go out. Benefactors appear when you leave home, while staying put brings more gossip, so you are suited to moving around a lot. Meeting Di Kong and Di Jie, trips may be in vain with no gain, so be cautious with long journeys. When Tian Ji is Fallen and lacks energy, travel requires you to actively invest more effort rather than rely on instinct alone.
