According to the general theory of the Wealth Palace, the fourteen main stars can be grouped into four broad financial archetypes. Type One: "Active Pursuit Stars" — Wu Qu is the prime example; when it sits in the Wealth Palace in a strong position, it's most favorable for business and commerce, making it an assertive financial star. Type Two: "Treasury Guardian Stars" — Tian Fu represents this category; the classic texts describe it as having "the ability to save and manage wealth," but a Hua Lu must be present for a genuine wealthy pattern to form. Type Three: "Wisdom and Strategy Stars" — Tian Ji and Ju Men represent this type; Tian Ji sees money flow in and out; Ju Men earns through words and speech, suited to education, sales, and client-facing roles. Type Four: "Hidden Wealth and Windfall Stars" — Tai Yin and Tan Lang represent this category; Tai Yin often generates excess returns; Tan Lang excels at using connections for windfall and side income.
Hua Lu Is the Key to the Treasury: Even Strong Wealth Stars Struggle Without It
According to core textual theory, "no matter how strong the Wealth Palace main star, without Hua Lu the treasury remains empty." Tian Fu guarding the Wealth Palace without receiving Hua Lu becomes an "empty vault." Wu Qu carrying Hua Ji signals chronic cash-flow difficulty. The key factors for reading the Wealth Palace: ① Does the main star receive Hua Lu? ② What support comes from the three-direction-four-pattern influence? ③ Is there a void formation creating an empty vault?

A client with Tan Lang in the Wealth Palace — a sales manager in his mid-thirties who had long felt "money comes in but never stays" — showed classic Tan Lang windfall traits, but without Hua Lu support, money flowed in and out with no accumulation base. It wasn't until the Major Decade Cycle brought Hua Lu into the Wealth Palace that his finances finally stabilized.
