The Travel palace is the outside world: relocation, life away from home, and how strangers receive you. A star here shows how you fare once you leave familiar ground.
What it means
In the Travel palace the road is peaceful, well suited to going out in culture, the arts, finance or property; a woman finds patrons abroad. Exalted, travel brings strong money and property openings.
The shadow side
Dim, travel brings mood swings and trouble settling into new surroundings. Under Hua Ji, emotional troubles follow you abroad.
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
「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.
