What it means
In the Marriage palace your spouse is steady and dependable, takes family responsibility seriously, and makes for a stable, long-companion marriage. The catch is that it can run conservative — short on romance and surprise. Your partner is often very capable with money, a steadying pillar of the household, if reserved in expressing feeling.
The shadow side
Take the initiative to create warmth and novelty; without it the marriage settles into a comfortable flatness that slowly loses its spark.
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.
