Travel Palace
Travel, relocation, and fortune away from home.
Overview
The Travel Palace governs travel, relocation, and fortune away from home. The classics say it "governs the fortune of comings and goings" — in modern times it extends to development in other cities and countries. Its fortune directly affects whether life away from home is smooth. Bright and auspicious means noble helpers and achievement abroad; fallen and afflicted means toil and setbacks. Read it together with the San Fang Si Zheng (Life, Wealth, Career palaces) — the Travel Palace sits opposite the Life Palace, its "external mirror."

How to judge
The Travel Palace favors bright, auspicious stars — noble helpers abroad; fallen with fierce stars means toil away. With the Sun or Tai Yin, a good name abroad; with Qi Sha or Po Jun, setbacks but pioneering potential; with Tian Tong or Tian Liang, misfortune turns to fortune.
Empty Palace (No Major Star)
When the Travel Palace has no major star, borrow the major star of the opposite palace (Life Palace). Such people's travel fortune is tightly linked to the Life Palace — the Life Palace's star determines how they fare and what opportunities they find away from home.
Classical Text
