The Moon in the Marriage palace

太阴夫妻

Tài Yīn in Fū Qī — also called the Spouse palace

Purple Star editorial · Reviewed

The Moon (太阴 Tài Yīn) in the Marriage palace (夫妻, the Spouse palace) — romance, spouse, intimate partnerships: Your spouse is gentle, tender and attentive, prizing atmosphere and warmth, and the quality of the marriage is high.

The Marriage palace describes your spouse and the weather of intimate partnership — who you draw close, and the recurring pattern of how you love.

What it means

In the Marriage palace your spouse is gentle, tender and attentive, prizing atmosphere and warmth, and the quality of the marriage is high. Exalted, the love is sweet and smooth; dim, the partner's moods swing widely.

The shadow side

For a man under Hua Ji there is a specific old caution — friction between wife and mother, the two women of the household not getting along — so family harmony needs particular care.

The Four Transformations (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

「太阴以亮为贵」

The Moon is prized for its brightness — a luminous Moon brings beauty and wealth, a dim one brings changeable moods and unsteady fortune.
