Karma Palace
Spiritual life, blessings, and the inner world — the palace of wellbeing.
Overview
The Karma Palace governs spiritual life, blessings, and the inner world. The classics say it "governs a lifetime of blessings and reward" — the core palace for reading happiness and mental state. Its fortune directly affects inner satisfaction. Bright and auspicious means deep blessings and spiritual abundance; fallen and afflicted means overthinking and spiritual emptiness. Read it together with the San Fang Si Zheng (Life, Wealth, Career palaces) — the Karma Palace forms the core of the San Fang Si Zheng with them.

How to judge
The Karma Palace favors bright, auspicious stars — deep blessings and spiritual abundance; fallen with fierce stars means overthinking. Tian Tong and Tian Liang here mean longevity and blessings; Tian Ji and Ju Men mean overthinking; Tan Lang and Lian Zhen mean enjoying life.
Empty Palace (No Major Star)
When the Karma Palace has no major star, borrow the major star of the opposite palace (Wealth Palace). Such people's spiritual satisfaction is tied to wealth — happy when money is fine, anxious when it is not.
Classical Text
In the Karma Palace, auspicious stars mean longevity and complete blessings; fierce stars gather and bring a life of toil and奔波.
