What it means
In the Wealth palace spending is heavy and money comes and goes — but with Hua Prosperity it 'breaks, then builds', opening a great new source of wealth out of the churn. The fortune swings widely, and being too conservative actually holds it back; going on the offensive tends to win more.
The shadow side
Guard against extravagance and impulse spending, and build genuine financial planning. Held with the fire stars there is windfall luck — but it can crash as fast as it spikes, so grip it carefully.
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.
