Wealth Palace

Wealth, income, and financial ability — the core palace for money.

Overview

The Wealth Palace governs wealth, income, and financial ability. The classics say it "governs a lifetime of wealth and salary" — the core palace for reading finances. Its fortune directly affects lifetime finances. Bright and auspicious means abundant income and sound money management; fallen and afflicted means money comes and goes. Read it together with the San Fang Si Zheng (Life, Career, Karma palaces), plus Lu Cun and Hua Lu (the wealth stars).

How to judge

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.

Empty Palace (No Major Star)

When the Wealth Palace has no major star, borrow the major star of the opposite palace (Life Palace). Such people's finances depend on themselves — the Life Palace's major star determines how they earn and how much.

Classical Text

In the Wealth Palace, auspicious stars mean abundant wealth and salary; fierce stars gather and bring ruin, loss, and poverty.
