Siblings Palace

Relationships with siblings, peers, and cooperative bonds.

Overview

The Siblings Palace governs relationships with brothers and sisters, peer interactions, and cooperative bonds. The classics say it "governs the number, temperament, and relations of siblings" — in modern times it extends to colleagues, partners, and peers. The Siblings Palace's fortune directly affects whether sibling bonds are warm or contentious. Bright and auspicious means accomplished, helpful siblings; fallen and afflicted means thin bonds and disputes. Read it together with the San Fang Si Zheng (Property, Friends, Health palaces).

Empty Palace (No Major Star)

When the Siblings Palace has no major star, borrow the major star of the opposite palace (Friends Palace). Such people's sibling relations are influenced by friends and colleagues — sibling bonds may be thin, but peer friendships are strong.
