The Minister in the Property palace
天相田宅Tiān Xiàng in Tián Zhái — also called the Estate palace
Purple Star editorial · Reviewed
The Minister (天相 Tiān Xiàng) in the Property palace (田宅, the Estate palace) — home, real estate, family assets: The home is stable, tidy and orderly and family relations are grounded; property carries a degree of security and holds its value.
The Property palace is home and holdings — the house you live in, real estate, and family assets. It is also the traditional treasury, so a star here speaks to what you keep.
What it means
In the Property palace the home is stable, tidy and orderly and family relations are grounded; property carries a degree of security and holds its value. A practical dwelling, valued for its function, suits you.
The shadow side
If Hua Ji reaches in, watch for trouble over property paperwork or contracts.
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
「逢相寻府，逢府看相」
Where you find the Minister, seek the Treasury; where you find the Treasury, look to the Minister — Tian Xiang and Tian Fu are always read together.
