Also called: opposite palace, san fang si zheng, trine palace, 三方四正
三方四正 (Sān Fāng Sì Zhèng), the rule that no Purple Star palace is ever read alone. Each palace is read together with three others whose stars 'shine' into it: the two trine palaces (三合, four branches away in each direction) and the opposite palace (對宮). It's the Chinese cousin of aspects in a Western chart, an empty palace, especially, takes its meaning from this network.
