Purple Star editorial · Reviewed
The Mentor (天梁 Tiān Liáng) in the Friends palace (仆役, the Servants palace) — friends, networks, subordinates: Your circle holds seasoned, wise figures, and a good friend appears at life's crucial turns; subordinates are responsible and can hold the line in a crisis.
The Friends palace covers your wider circle — friends, networks and the people who work under you. A star here describes the company you keep and how it serves you.
What it means
In the Friends palace your circle holds seasoned, wise figures, and a good friend appears at life's crucial turns; subordinates are responsible and can hold the line in a crisis. What friends give you is spiritual and intellectual guidance more than direct material help.
The shadow side
Do not expect this circle to supply money — its gift is wisdom and steadiness, not the wallet.
