Wealth Palace
Wealth, income, and financial ability — the core palace for money.
What part of life does this Palace describe?
The Wealth Palace is not a wealth score. It is better read as your money operating system: how you create value, earn, spend, save, allocate resources, and respond to financial uncertainty.
How Zi Wei Dou Shu reads this Palace
What it represents
The Wealth Palace describes your financial operating style: how value is created, how income tends to be earned, how resources are allocated, and what patterns appear around spending, saving, and financial uncertainty. Classical texts often frame it as "lifetime wealth," but a modern reading should not treat it as a wealth score. Traditional interpretation connects it with the Life, Career, and Wellbeing palaces and with wealth-related factors such as Lu Cun and Hua Lu. The emphasis is on money behavior and resource strategy, not a guarantee of riches or poverty.

Life areas
Traditional reading factors
The Wealth Palace favors bright, auspicious stars — abundant income; fallen with fierce stars means money slips away. Wu Qu, Tian Fu, and Tai Yin are the wealth stars, best placed here; Lu Cun and Hua Lu gathering strengthen fortune; emptiness and Di Kong/Jie mean money is hard to keep.
When No Major Star Occupies the Palace
When the Wealth Palace has no Major Star, traditional practice uses the opposite Wellbeing Palace as an additional reference, together with the wider palace structure. Material security, resource use and inner satisfaction can be explored as related themes; an empty palace does not determine wealth.
From the Classical Sources
In the Wealth Palace, auspicious stars mean abundant wealth and salary; fierce stars gather and bring ruin, loss, and poverty.
Wu Qu is the sixth star of the Northern Dipper, belonging to Metal, master of the Wealth Palace. With Lu Cun and the Tian Ma horse it grows rich in distant lands.
