The Moon (太阴 Tài Yīn) in the Parents palace (父母) — parents, elders, mentors and authority: The mother matters more — gentle and attentive, with a warm household atmosphere; for a man, the pattern of the mother relationship shapes how he relates to elders.

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 the mother matters more — gentle and attentive, with a warm household atmosphere; for a man, the pattern of the mother relationship shapes how he relates to elders. With Hua Prosperity, the mother is your most important patron.

The shadow side

For a man under Hua Ji, mother and wife do not get along, and the family relationships need careful mediation.

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.
