What it means
In the Wealth palace income is stable rather than large — chiefly a steady salary — so employment suits you better than striking out on your own, and money comes securely. Conservative management, fixed savings and property investment fit best.
The shadow side
High-risk investment does not suit this placement; wealth here is built by accumulation, not by any sudden burst.
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.
