Wealth PalaceWhat does it represent
In Zi Wei Dou Shu, the Wealth Palace is the palace among the twelve that directly governs "money," primarily describing three things: the sources of wealth (active income, passive income, windfall), your attitude toward and handling of money, and the innate pattern of how much wealth you're likely to accumulate. The Wealth Palace, along with the Life Palace and Career Palace, is called the "Wealth Triangle." When these three palaces interact well, it indicates strong earning ability combined with the capacity to hold onto wealth. Therefore, the Wealth Palace doesn't equal "how much money you have". It represents "how your money comes to you." Someone with Zi Wei in the Wealth Palace might be a business owner or a high-paid employee, with vastly different scales of income. This difference comes from the compounding effect of the major and annual cycles, which determine the timing of wealth. The primary star in the Wealth Palace determines the "path," not the "outcome."
The interaction between the Wealth Palace and the Life Palace
The Life Palace represents your personality. The Wealth Palace represents your wealth path. In practice, I've observed that when the primary star in the Life Palace and the primary star in the Wealth Palace are compatible (for example, Zi Wei in the Life Palace and Tian Fu in the Wealth Palace. Both belonging to the same star system), this person's personality and earning method are highly aligned, making the wealth-building process relatively natural. However. If The Life Palace holds the pleasure-seeking Tian Tong while the Wealth Palace holds the demanding Lian Zhenthis person is likely to have a significant gap in financial management — deliberately building financial discipline becomes necessary.
