The Sun in the Siblings palace

太阳兄弟

Tài Yáng in Xiōng Dì

Purple Star editorial · Reviewed

The Sun (太阳 Tài Yáng) in the Siblings palace (兄弟) — siblings, close peers, business partners: There is a sunny, outgoing sibling of some public standing, and the ties run open and above-board with little private scheming.

The Siblings palace covers brothers and sisters, close peers and — in modern practice — business partners. A star here describes the character of those side-by-side alliances.

What it means

In the Siblings palace there is a sunny, outgoing sibling of some public standing, and the ties run open and above-board with little private scheming. Exalted, siblings are a real support; fallen, their help is limited.

The shadow side

Fallen, a sibling's reputation troubles can spill onto you. Under Hua Ji, disputes multiply and any partnership should guard against public quarrels.

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

「太阳落陷,劳而无获」

A fallen Sun labours without reward — in its weak seats the Sun's effort outruns what it earns back.
