The Property Palace
田宅 · seated on 酉 the Rooster
This palace governs home, land, real estate, and family assets.
Your Property Palace sits on the Rooster branch, a placement that borrows its light from your Children Palace across the chart, meaning your sense of home and belonging grows from your capacity to nurture, create, and leave something meaningful behind. Water flows through this palace, suggesting your relationship to property and family assets moves with intuition and adaptation rather than rigid control; you are more likely to sense what a space needs than to impose a rigid plan upon it. The Children Palace's stars, which illuminate this field of life, bring warmth and generative energy to how you build and hold your nest. Your Health Palace acts as the Treasurer of this realm, reminding you that your home's stability rests on your own wellbeing and presence; your Siblings Palace serves as the Minister, coloring these matters with questions of fairness, shared responsibility, and how family bonds either strengthen or strain your foundation. This palace comes fully into view during your tenth decade, ages 95 to 104, when the accumulated choices about home and legacy become most visible. For now, tend to this field with the same attentiveness you give to those you love, and know that your true wealth will be measured not in what you own, but in the peace and nourishment your space holds.
The Stars Here
No major star sits in this palace, a common, valid pattern. Its themes are read through its influence network (below), above all the opposite Children Palace, whose stars cast their light across the axis.
Its Influence Network (三方四正)
No palace is read alone. Three others send their stars' light into this field of life: the two trine palaces (三合) and the opposite palace (對宮). Together they shape how it truly plays out.

When This Palace Rules Your Years
In Purple Star, life moves through the palaces one decade at a time. This palace holds Hummingbird's 大限, the ten-year era, from age 35 to 44. Its 小限 (the annual visit) returns at ages 5, 17, 29, 41, 53, 65, 77. In each of those years, the affairs of this palace step into the foreground.
In The Whole Chart
By how many stars, and how bright, sit in it, this is the 11th-loudest of your twelve palaces (a quiet field). Its quieter fields aren't lesser; they're read through the influence network above rather than from stars of their own.
Your Five-Element Bureau is Earth 5 (土五局); your Life Palace is Life and your Body Palace is Travel. Your Life Master is Pòjūn 破軍 and your Body Master is Tiāntóng 天同. The four transformations of your birth year fall on 武曲 (Prosperity), 貪狼 (Power), 天梁 (Fame), 文曲 (Trouble).
