The Moon (太阴 Tài Yīn) in the Wellbeing palace (福德, the Fortune palace) — inner life — happiness, mindset, blessings: The inner life is rich and finely-tuned, drawn to quiet, elegant living, full of feeling and aesthetic and spiritual reaching.

The Wellbeing palace is your inner weather: contentment, mindset, and the quality of your private hours. A star here describes what your mind reaches for when it is at rest.

What it means

In the Wellbeing palace the inner life is rich and finely-tuned, drawn to quiet, elegant living, full of feeling and aesthetic and spiritual reaching. Exalted, the blessing runs deep.

The shadow side

Dim, the mind tends to melancholy and needs more warmth and brightness to balance it. Under Hua Ji, the inner life turns brooding — seek an outlet for the spirit.

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.
