The Pioneer in the Friends palace
破军仆役Pò Jūn in Pú Yì — also called the Servants palace
Purple Star editorial · Reviewed
The Pioneer (破军 Pò Jūn) in the Friends palace (仆役, the Servants palace) — friends, networks, subordinates: The circle is intensely fluid — the friends of one chapter are wholly different from the next; subordinates rarely stay put and partners fight their own corners.
The Friends palace covers your wider circle — friends, networks and the people who work under you. A star here describes the company you keep and how it serves you.
What it means
In the Friends palace the circle is intensely fluid — the friends of one chapter are wholly different from the next; subordinates rarely stay put and partners fight their own corners. What friends bring is transformation and breakthrough rather than steady support. With Hua Prosperity, friends help you build a new footing amid the change.
The shadow side
Under Hua Ji, friends bring disruption and a partnership loses money.
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.
