Tian Liang Star in the Friends Palace
The short version
Tian Liang in the Friends Palace means steady, reliable friends who help you. But Tian Liang lectures — watch the "preachy" strain on friendship; listen more than you advise.
Archetype × life domain
Tian Liang represents protection, experience, principles, and helping people through difficult situations. The modern analogy is a mentor, senior advisor, teacher, or guardian figure. Its challenge is knowing when guidance becomes over-guidance.
Traditionally called the Servants Palace, this area is more naturally read today as your wider network: friends, coworkers, collaborators, direct reports, and the kinds of social ecosystems in which you operate.

Classical context
Tian Liang belongs to Earth, the second star of the Southern Dipper. Governing longevity, transforming into shade and blessing, master of the Parents Palace — it transforms the violent into the harmonious. In people it makes the temperament open and upright, the appearance dignified and gentle, straightforward and selfless. Decisive in affairs, it shades the body and blesses the descendants.
