The Sun in the Travel palace
太阳迁移Tài Yáng in Qiān Yí — also called the Migration palace
Purple Star editorial · Reviewed
The Sun (太阳 Tài Yáng) in the Travel palace (迁移, the Migration palace) — the outside world — relocation, opportunities abroad, how others receive you: Patrons appear away from home and your name is more easily made elsewhere — a good sign for fields full of public dealings and social contact.
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 patrons appear away from home and your name is more easily made elsewhere — a good sign for fields full of public dealings and social contact. Exalted, you go out into brightness and win both name and gain.
The shadow side
Fallen, travel means effort without reward and a change of scene is called for. Under Hua Ji, expect reputation trouble and disputes on the road.
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.
