What it means
In the Wealth palace money arrives through public work, salary, and the opportunities your reputation opens — name and gain together. Exalted, the fortune is bright and accumulates smoothly. With Hua Prosperity the earning is at its strongest.
The shadow side
Fallen, income comes and goes with little to show for the effort, so lean on stable employment over speculation. Under Hua Ji a damaged reputation hits the wallet — protect your good name.
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.
