The Property Palace
田宅 · seated on 辰 the Dragon
strong field
This palace governs home, land, real estate, and family assets.
Cowbird's Property Palace sits on the Dragon branch, a placement where Tānláng, the Charmer, brings genuine magnetism and creative vitality to matters of home, land, and family assets; this star exalts here, meaning Cowbird carries real talent for making spaces and resources work beautifully. Yet Dìjié, a hazard star meaning plunder or scattering, sits alongside Tānláng, which tells us that what Cowbird builds or acquires in this realm can slip away unexpectedly, or come with sudden turns that demand flexibility and acceptance. The Wood element flowing through this palace suggests growth and renewal are natural to them, even when loss or change arrives; Wood bends rather than breaks. When Cowbird moves through this ten-year era between ages 93 and 102, they will feel this palace's full weight, and by then a lifetime of learning how to hold things lightly will serve them well. The Health Palace, Siblings Palace, and Children Palace all colour how this unfolds, adding layers of who stands beside Cowbird and what ripples outward from their choices around home and inheritance. Green jade or green aventurine, kept or worn facing the east-southeast, can ground Cowbird's connection to this field when the unexpected arrives.

When This Palace Rules Your Years
In Purple Star, life moves through the palaces one decade at a time, forward or backward by a traditional rule written for men and women. Cowbird's pronouns are neither, so both are here. This palace holds the 大限, the ten-year era, from age 33 to 42 if the eras run forward, or from age 93 to 102 if the eras run backward. Its 小限 (the annual visit) returns at ages 10, 22, 34, 46, 58, 70, 82 counted forward, or 4, 16, 28, 40, 52, 64, 76 counted backward. In those years, the affairs of this palace step into the foreground.
