The Treasurer in the Friends palace
天府仆役Tiān Fǔ in Pú Yì — also called the Servants palace
Purple Star editorial · Reviewed
The Treasurer (天府 Tiān Fǔ) in the Friends palace (仆役, the Servants palace) — friends, networks, subordinates: Your circle is steady and of good quality — people of some means or standing — and subordinates are grounded and reliable.
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 your circle is steady and of good quality — people of some means or standing — and subordinates are grounded and reliable. But the ties are conservative, short on bold ventures together.
The shadow side
Balance steadiness with a little openness to new ideas; a circle that never risks anything never grows either.
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
「逢府看相，逢相寻府」
Where you find the Treasury, look to the Minister; where you find the Minister, seek the Treasury — Tian Fu and Tian Xiang are read as a pair, each completing the other.
