Purple Star editorial · Reviewed
The Maverick (廉贞 Lián Zhēn) in the Parents palace (父母) — parents, elders, mentors and authority: A parent is talented or emotionally complex, and family ties carry a certain feeling-charge; dealings with bosses have a creative, personable quality — but can also draw disputes.
The Parents palace covers parents, elders, mentors and figures of authority. A star here describes the shape of those relationships and how you fare under the people above you.
What it means
In the Parents palace a parent is talented or emotionally complex, and family ties carry a certain feeling-charge; dealings with bosses have a creative, personable quality — but can also draw disputes.
The shadow side
Under Hua Ji a parent meets injury or legal trouble, and relations with a boss are prone to emotionally-tinged conflict.
The Four Transformations四化 Si Hua — four stars in your chart receive a special charge from your birth-year stem: Flow 禄 (ease), Power 权 (control), Merit 科 (recognition), Obstacle 忌 (friction). (四化) — Flow, Power, Merit and Obstacle — can sharpen or soften any of this depending on your exact birth year. Your own chart shows which are active.
From the classics
「腰缠玉带，衫披桃花」
A jade belt at the waist, peach blossom on the robe — the classical image of Lian Zhen's mix of worldly standing and irresistible romantic magnetism.
— classical verse (古诀云)
