Tian Xiang in the Wealth Palace
Tian Xiang is the seal star of support, ruling over loyalty and honesty; its transformed energy is Seal. In the Life Palace it brings integrity, suited to administration and legal affairs.
Summary
Tian Xiang in the Wealth Palace brings sufficiency, never lacking food or clothing; money comes from relationships, position and accumulated trust, suiting steady salary and long saving over risk. Manage money conservatively, such as fixed deposits or property. With Zi Wei windfalls sometimes arrive, with Lian Zhen wealth comes from trade, with Wu Qu steady proper income with benefactors' help. Fallen calls for more effort; with malefic stars, Kong and Jie, Hao or Ji, gains and losses don't accumulate and money comes and goes.

Core reading
With Tian Xiang in the Wealth Palace, the old book says "Tian Xiang, affluent," meaning no lack of daily necessities; sharing a palace with Zi Wei, "wealth comes in suddenly," meaning a large sum can come in at once; with Lian Zhen, "wealth through trade," money mostly from buying and selling; with Wu Qu plus Qing Yang, Tuo Luo, Huo Xing or Ling Xing, "wealth through the hundred crafts," earning through craftsmanship. Tian Xiang's money mostly comes through connections and position, accumulated bit by bit through trust rather than by taking risks. Income is stable, relying mainly on a steady salary and long-term accumulation; a regular job goes more smoothly than opening your own business.
Manage money conservatively and steadily; fixed deposits or buying property are more suitable; not suited to high-risk speculation — wealth comes through saving, not sudden riches. Adding Qing Yang, Tuo Luo, Huo Xing, Ling Xing, Di Kong or Di Jie, or Hao and Ji, the Complete Book says "success and failure without accumulation," meaning successes and failures, unable to save money.
