Hua Ji from the Wealth Palace into all twelve palaces: how Flying Star readers see each line
Where does your concern about money flow? The Flying Star school takes the Wealth Palace’s own stem, finds the Hua Ji star that stem produces, and sees which palace that star sits in. That palace is where the energy you put into earning and spending flows. If the Hua Ji star stays in the Wealth Palace itself, it is called Self-Hua Ji. There are twelve landing palaces, one section for each, read from the Life Palace through to the Parents Palace. This is a Flying Star school method; the Zi Wei Dou Shu Quan Shu (the Quan Shu) does not have it.

The Wealth Palace stem, the Hua Ji star, and the chart counts of the twelve landing palaces
Which stem the Wealth Palace uses depends on the stem of the birth year and the earthly branch the Wealth Palace sits in (the Five Tigers rule, 五虎遁). The Hua Ji stars that correspond are: Tai Yang (Jia), Tai Yin (Yi), Lian Zhen (Bing), Ju Men (Ding), Tian Ji (Wu), Wen Qu (Ji), Tian Tong (Geng), Wen Chang (Xin), Wu Qu (Ren), Tan Lang (Gui). Charting every day and every double-hour from 1950 to 2009 gives 262,980 charts. The twelve lines each hold between 8.0% and 8.6%: the Children Palace has the most (22,608 charts) and the Siblings Palace the fewest (21,075 charts). About 16.4% of charts have an empty Wealth Palace, which is read by borrowing the stars of the Fortune Palace, and the lines differ a lot here: in about 40% of the charts on the Fortune Palace line the Wealth Palace is empty, while on the Friends Palace line and on Self-Hua Ji it is only about 3%. Charts where the landing palace itself is an Empty Palace are also only about 3%, for the same reason: in a palace with no main star, the Hua Ji star can only be Wen Chang or Wen Qu.
What the Wealth Palace governs, money kept or spent on others, the Hua Ji clash, and self-transformation
The Wealth Palace governs how you earn and spend money, and your attitude toward it. Xingge’s schools concept article splits Wealth Palace Hua Ji into two kinds: landing in the Life, Wealth, Career, Health, Property or Fortune Palace, the money mostly stays with you; landing in the Siblings, Spouse, Children, Travel, Friends or Parents Palace, the money is often spent on other people. Each section below is read this way. In the Flying Star school, the Hua Ji clash means that when Hua Ji flies into a palace, its force also strikes the palace directly opposite; the palace opposite the Wealth Palace is the Fortune Palace, so landing in the Fortune Palace is Hua Ji clashing back on the Wealth Palace itself. With Self-Hua Ji the Hua Ji star does not fly out, so no clash is written; the Wealth–Fortune line tip on Xingge’s chart page reads it as money that is harder to hold on to and is often taken away by unplanned spending.
How brightness is grouped in each section, and the borrowed Hua Ji lines
Brightness and co-seated main stars come from a sample: one day out of every seven from 1950 to 2009, with all twelve double-hours charted, making 37,572 charts; brightness counts only the charts where the Hua Ji star is a main star. Using the eight main stars that can become Hua Ji as the yardstick (Miao or Wang about 43%, Xian plus Bu (Unsupported) about 23%): the Life, Spouse, Travel, Career and Fortune lines have 47% to 50% Miao or Wang, so they lean bright; the Children, Friends and Parents lines have 39% to 40% Miao or Wang, and the Property line has 27% Xian plus Bu (Unsupported), so they lean dim; the Siblings and Health lines and Self-Hua Ji are close to the yardstick. Xingge has no fixed way to read the brightness of a Hua Ji star, so what each section says about brightness is what some teachers say. For the flavor of each Hua Ji star, each section borrows Xingge’s description of Life Palace Hua Ji, reworded (Wu Qu, Wen Chang and Wen Qu are not borrowed), to describe the quality of the concern, as a reference only.
The twelve lines
Wealth Palace Hua Ji into the Life Palace · Wealth Palace Hua Ji into the Siblings Palace · Wealth Palace Hua Ji into the Spouse Palace · Wealth Palace Hua Ji into the Children Palace · Wealth Palace self-Hua Ji · Wealth Palace Hua Ji into the Health Palace · Wealth Palace Hua Ji into the Travel Palace · Wealth Palace Hua Ji into the Friends Palace · Wealth Palace Hua Ji into the Career Palace · Wealth Palace Hua Ji into the Property Palace · Wealth Palace Hua Ji into the Fortune Palace · Wealth Palace Hua Ji into the Parents Palace
Wealth Palace Hua Ji into the Life Palace
Wealth Palace Hua Ji flying into the Life Palace is read by the Flying Star school as money matters coming back to you, so you often worry about them. It speaks of how much you care about money and how much energy you put into it, not of whether you can earn it.
Life Palace receives the Wealth Palace’s Hua Ji: why money matters stay with you
Xingge’s schools concept article groups Wealth Palace Hua Ji landing in the Life, Wealth, Career, Health, Property and Fortune Palaces as money that mostly stays with you instead of flowing to others; the Life Palace is the closest of these. In plain words, what sits on your mind is more than the number in the account: on the day your pay comes in you start working out next month, and having just earned a sum you still do not feel steady. The Wealth–Fortune line tip on the chart page reads this as money matters often making you worry, and as feeling it is not enough even after you have earned.
A chart for illustration: the Wealth Palace is in Wu (午), stem Geng, with Tian Liang (Miao); the Hua Ji star produced by the Geng stem is Tian Tong (Ping (Average)), sitting alone in the Xu (戌) palace, which is the Life Palace. Some other teachers say you look after money as if it were a part of yourself, so you are especially sensitive to spending; this layer is not on Xingge’s palace page.
Charts that land in the Life Palace: more empty Wealth Palaces, and the Life Palace’s Hua Ji often looks back to the Wealth Palace
The chart count is 21,903, or 8.3%. Tian Tong Hua Ji 11.2%, Ju Men Hua Ji 10.8% and Tan Lang Hua Ji 10.5% come first, with Wu Qu Hua Ji slightly fewer at 9.2%; no two neighbouring ranks are two percentage points apart, and Wen Chang and Wen Qu together make 20.0%. Measured against the yardstick of the eight main stars, 47.4% of the Hua Ji stars are Miao or Wang, about 4 percentage points above the baseline, so brightness leans bright.
About 23% of these charts have an empty Wealth Palace (against 16.4% in general); in about 86% of those the Hua Ji star is a main star, and then the Wealth Palace is read by borrowing the main stars of the Fortune Palace, so money matters depend more on the opposite side. Now the reverse direction: about 15% of charts have the Life Palace’s Hua Ji falling back on the Wealth Palace (about 6% in general), and only about 3% have Life Palace Self-Hua Ji. On this line, money and the person point at each other. For the character of the Hua Ji star, think of the lines for birth-year Hua Ji in the Life Palace: Ju Men Hua Ji is like swallowing words back and arguing back and forth in your head; Tan Lang Hua Ji is like wanting a lot and feeling you are still not enough; Tian Tong Hua Ji is like keeping the mood good while your own needs go to the back. The San He school does not look at palace stems, only at the stars and brightness of the Wealth and Life Palaces, and the two routes often reach different conclusions, so reading them side by side is steadier.
Wealth Palace Hua Ji into the Life Palace: give your worry about money a stopping point
You do not need to suppress the worry itself; the point is to give it a stopping point. You can write your own definition of 「夠用」 (“enough”) in a phone note: what must be paid every month, what you want to keep, and what you can spend freely, with the amounts set by you. Next time you catch yourself calculating, go back to that note instead of working it out from scratch. The suggestion the chart page gives for this line is to set up a safety deposit; it works the same way, only turned into an account with a name.
The Life Palace and the Wealth Palace already sit in the same group of the Three Harmonies and Four Directions, so your attitude toward money is often tied to your personality, and you need not treat it as a flaw. This is a personal kind of caring, not a verdict on fate; the main stars and the birth-year Four Transformations are still the base color of the chart.
Wealth Palace Hua Ji into the Siblings Palace
Your money easily flows to siblings and peers, or is tied up in dealings with them. In the Flying Star school’s plain words this is Wealth Palace Hua Ji flying into the Siblings Palace; it speaks of where money flows, not of whether your bond with siblings is good or bad.
Siblings Palace receives the Wealth Palace’s Hua Ji: money spent on peers
The schools concept article groups Wealth Palace Hua Ji landing in the Siblings, Spouse, Children, Travel, Friends and Parents Palaces as money often spent on other people, and the Siblings Palace is one of them. The Siblings Palace governs siblings and peers, including schoolmates, people who started with you and partners you deal with regularly. Typical scenes: a sibling has an urgent need and you cover it first, you are used to paying a bit extra at gatherings, or something bought together with coworkers ends with you making up the difference.
Some teachers stretch the Siblings Palace out to cash on hand, which Xingge’s palace page does not mean; on that reading, Hua Ji into the Siblings Palace is cash that is easily pulled away and hard to keep in hand. A chart for illustration: the Wealth Palace is in Hai (亥), stem Yi, with Wu Qu (Ping (Average)) and Po Jun (Ping (Average)); the Hua Ji star produced by the Yi stem is Tai Yin (Wang), sitting with Tian Ji (De (Gain)) in the Yin (寅) palace, which is the Siblings Palace. If you are an only child, read “siblings” as the few peers you deal with most.
The Siblings Palace end: the fewest charts of the twelve lines, and a slightly wider spread of Hua Ji stars
With 21,075 charts and 8.0%, this is the line with the fewest charts of the twelve Wealth Palace lines. The ten Hua Ji stars run from Tian Tong at 11.3% down to Ju Men at 8.5%, a gap of nearly three percentage points between first and last, but neighbouring ranks are less than two points apart, so no ranking is given; Tai Yin Hua Ji is 10.6% and Lian Zhen Hua Ji 9.9%. Brightness is about the same as the baseline (Miao or Wang 42.5%), so no extra reading is added.
An empty Wealth Palace accounts for 21%, a little above the general 16.4%; in about 44% of charts the Hua Ji star sits alone in the Siblings Palace, and where a main star shares the palace, Ju Men and Po Jun each appear in about 10% of charts. Only 3.6% of charts have the Siblings Palace’s own Hua Ji falling back on the Wealth Palace. The Hua Ji clash strikes the Friends Palace, and teachers go on to say that money matters with siblings will pull on dealings in the circle of friends. The approach can be concrete: when there is a money exchange with a sibling, leave one message saying this one is a loan and that one is a gift, so that later nobody keeps a different record; for things bought or run together with peers, agree on how to share the cost before you start. The part you regularly help with can be made into a budget, and when it is used up you politely decline; this is an arrangement that makes the bond last longer, not a guard against anyone.
Wealth Palace Hua Ji into the Spouse Palace
Wealth Palace Hua Ji flying into the Spouse Palace is commonly read as money matters tangled up with intimate relationships and working partners: decisions about income and spending easily touch your partner’s or collaborator’s feelings. It is not a judgment on how good your relationship is.
The Wealth Palace’s Hua Ji in the Spouse Palace: money becomes a topic between two people
The tip on the Wealth–Fortune line says that money matters easily pull on feelings or on cooperation, and that accounts with your partner or collaborator should be kept clear. The Spouse Palace governs a long-term partner; counting working partners in is an extension some teachers make, and the palace list does not have that meaning. Typical scenes: whether to talk first before buying something big, being bothered by how the other person spends, or who has the say when a joint business divides the takings. If you have no partner, read it as the closest person you work with.
A chart for illustration: the Wealth Palace is in You (酉), stem Gui, with Tian Fu (Wang); the Hua Ji star produced by the Gui stem is Tan Lang (Xian), sitting with Lian Zhen (Xian) in the Hai (亥) palace, which is the Spouse Palace. This line does not depend on gender and does not assume who earns more.
The Spouse Palace end: brightness leans bright, the Spouse Palace often self-transforms, and it rarely flies back
Of 262,980 charts, 21,657 take this line, about 8.2%. Lian Zhen Hua Ji 11.0%, Tian Tong Hua Ji 10.3% and Tai Yang Hua Ji 10.0% come first, with Ju Men Hua Ji and Tan Lang Hua Ji at 9.6% each behind; the spread of the ten is less than 1.5 percentage points, so no ranking is given. Miao or Wang makes up 49.6%, among the brightest groups of the twelve Wealth Palace lines.
Two more numbers: Spouse Palace Self-Hua Ji is about 23%, more than double the average of 10%; the Spouse Palace’s Hua Ji flies back to the Wealth Palace in only about 1.4% (about 6% in general). Once a money topic enters the Spouse Palace, it mostly circles in place and does not easily come back to you. An empty Wealth Palace is about 14%, a little lower than usual; in about 41% of charts the Hua Ji star in the Spouse Palace has no company, and where it has, Tai Yin is about 9% and Tian Liang about 8%. The palace at the other end from the Spouse Palace is the Career Palace, and some teachers extend this to say that money matters between the two people come back to affect your work and ambition.
Three ways for two people to talk about money: after the Spouse Palace receives the Wealth Palace’s Hua Ji
First, talk about shared spending at a fixed time, for example once a month, and do not dig up old accounts the rest of the time. Second, each keeps a sum to use freely, with no need to explain what it is for. Third, before a large expense, give the reason and the time frame first, then decide who pays how much. The ratio and amounts are for the two of you to set; there is no standard answer.
The same holds for working partnerships: writing the rules for dividing the takings down is more reliable than relying on a feeling of trust. This line does not say there is something wrong with your relationship; it reminds you that money is the thing most easily taken as a signal of feeling.
Wealth Palace Hua Ji into the Children Palace
Wealth Palace Hua Ji landing in the Children Palace is read by the Flying Star school as money easily flowing to children and younger people, or to the people and works you nurture with your own hands. It speaks of where money flows, and does not judge your relationship with your children.
Wealth Palace Hua Ji flying into the Children Palace: money spent on the people you nurture
The Children Palace governs children and younger people, and also the students and subordinates you lead. When the Wealth Palace’s Hua Ji lands here, by the split in the schools concept article it belongs to money spent on other people. The most direct scenes are education, lessons and care, and it can also be the training fees you pay for subordinates when you lead a team.
Some teachers also use the Children Palace to look at new ventures and new attempts, which Xingge’s palace page does not say; by that extension, Hua Ji into the Children Palace can also mean money spent on something new that has not paid back yet. A chart for illustration: the Wealth Palace is in Chou (丑), stem Ding, with Wu Qu (Miao) and Tan Lang (Miao); the Hua Ji star produced by the Ding stem is Ju Men (Miao), sitting with Tai Yang (Wang) in the Yin (寅) palace, which is the Children Palace. If you have no children, you can use the reading of younger people, students, or this new attempt.
The Children Palace end: the line with the most charts of the twelve, with brightness on the dim side
The chart count is 22,608, or 8.6%, the most of the twelve Wealth Palace lines. Tai Yang Hua Ji 10.9%, Tai Yin Hua Ji 10.5% and Wu Qu Hua Ji 10.5%, with Ju Men Hua Ji and Tan Lang Hua Ji at 9.2% each; all ten are crowded between 9% and 11%, so no ranking is given. Miao or Wang is only 39.6%, about 3 percentage points below the baseline, so brightness leans dim.
An empty Wealth Palace is only about 7% on this line, less than half of the general 16.4%; when a main star shares the palace, Po Jun and Qi Sha each sit together in about 9% of charts, and the Hua Ji star takes the Children Palace alone in about 44%. The Property Palace is at the other end from the Children Palace, and some teachers add the Hua Ji clash on the Property Palace: money spent on children will affect the money you can move at home and the living arrangements.
Wealth Palace Hua Ji into the Children Palace: set aside a fixed budget for the people you nurture
Sort what a child, a student or your own work needs into three kinds: must pay, want to try, and can wait. Review them once a month, with the amounts set by you. Keep the want-to-try kind apart from the household money, so you do not end up with the feeling of having spent everything on the child.
If you spend money to nurture others, also ask yourself: is this what they want, or what I want to give? The answer often decides whether to pay this one. This is a way of sorting how you deal with people, not a statement about your bond with your children.
Wealth Palace self-Hua Ji
Wealth Palace Self-Hua Ji means the Hua Ji star produced by the Wealth Palace’s stem happens to be the very star sitting in the Wealth Palace, so the thought of money does not fly elsewhere but circles in place. Xingge’s Self-transformation concept article reads it as coming fast and fading fast, so it speaks of the rhythm of money in and out, not of being unable to earn.
How to read Wealth Palace Self-Hua Ji: able to earn, hard to keep
First work out the Wealth Palace’s stem and look up the star it turns into Hua Ji; if that star sits in the Wealth Palace itself, it is Self-Hua Ji. For example, the Wealth Palace is in Mao (卯), stem Ding, with Tian Ji (Wang) and Ju Men (Miao); the Ding stem’s Hua Ji is exactly Ju Men, which stays where it is.
The tip the chart page gives for Wealth Palace Self-Hua Ji reads it this way: money is harder to hold on to and is often taken away by unplanned spending, and steady income suits you better than high-risk investment. The line at the same time reminds you that you can earn and only find it hard to keep, which is not the same as losing money. Another teacher’s view is that Self-Hua Ji is being unable to keep wealth, not being unable to earn it.
Charts with Wealth Palace Self-Hua Ji: the Hua Ji star stays in its own palace
Every Wealth Palace stem produces a Hua Ji star, but it counts as self-transformation only when that star happens to land in the Wealth Palace, so 22,072 of all charts (8.4%) have it; not every chart does. Tai Yang Hua Ji 11.1%, Lian Zhen Hua Ji 10.8% and Tan Lang Hua Ji 10.8%, with Ju Men Hua Ji slightly fewer at 8.8%; no ranking can be made, and Wen Chang and Wen Qu together make 19.5%. Miao or Wang is 45.3%, only about two percentage points from the baseline, so it is close.
An Empty Wealth Palace is only about 3% on this line, because then only Wen Chang or Wen Qu can self-transform; Tian Liang in about 9% and Tian Xiang in about 8% share the palace, and in about 37% the Hua Ji star holds the palace alone. Different Hua Ji stars have different flavors: Tai Yang Hua Ji is like caring only about lighting things up for others while your own tiredness goes unsaid; Tian Ji Hua Ji is like calculating the accounts again and again, the finer the harder to decide. These lines are borrowed (reworded) from Xingge’s Life Palace page and are not conclusions specific to the Wealth Palace. Self-transformation is a footnote to the main stars and does not override the main stars or the birth-year Four Transformations. The San He school does not look at palace stems, only at which stars sit in the Wealth Palace and their brightness, and its conclusion may differ.
Money habits for Wealth Palace Self-Hua Ji: set a share aside as soon as income arrives
The trait of self-transformation is fading fast, and money here also comes in fast and goes out fast, so the key is the moment it is credited: when income comes in, first set aside a share that you do not touch, and only then decide how to spend. An automatic transfer is more reliable than willpower in the moment. Give unplanned spending a place of its own, so that each sudden expense does not dip into living costs.
The reminder on the chart page is to take fewer high-risk investments; this is only an explanation of rhythm, not teaching you what to buy or sell. When you read this line, also remember that it only describes a rhythm; if you are already good at saving, there is no need to force this line onto yourself.
Wealth Palace Hua Ji into the Health Palace
Pressure from money lands on your inner load, and income and spending become a weight you carry in your mind all the time. This is how the Flying Star school reads Wealth Palace Hua Ji flying into the Health Palace. Here the Health Palace speaks only of stress and emotion, and gives no health judgment.
Money pressure settles into body and mind: the Health Palace receives the Wealth Palace’s Hua Ji
The other half of what the Health Palace governs is how you carry stress and digest emotion, and accumulated tiredness is counted here too. When the Wealth Palace’s Hua Ji lands in the Health Palace, by the schools concept article it belongs to money that stays with you, not money flowing to others. Typical scenes: your heart sinks when you see the bills at the start of the month, you tense up all over before a large expense, or your income is steady and yet you always feel a piece is missing.
That is, this line need not have to do with how much money you have; it is that money has become the main source of the stress you bear. Some teachers call this the internalizing of financial anxiety; that is the teachers’ wording, and Xingge does not write it that way. For a chart to compare: the Wealth Palace is in Wei (未), stem Gui, with Tian Tong (Bu (Unsupported)) and Ju Men (Bu (Unsupported)); the Hua Ji star produced by the Gui stem is Tan Lang (Wang), sitting alone in the Wu (午) palace, which is the Health Palace.
The Health Palace end: slightly more Tai Yang Hua Ji, brightness close to the baseline
There are 21,498 charts landing in the Health Palace, about 8.2%. Tai Yang Hua Ji at 11.7% is slightly more than Tian Ji Hua Ji at 10.4%, and the gap between the top two is less than 1.5 percentage points, so no ranking is given; Lian Zhen Hua Ji is 10.0% and Tan Lang Hua Ji 9.0%, slightly fewer. Hua Ji stars at Miao or Wang are 42.0%, also near the baseline.
An empty Wealth Palace is about 10%, lower than usual; Ju Men shares the palace with the Hua Ji star in about 11% of charts, Qi Sha in about 9%, and the Hua Ji star sits alone in the Health Palace in 42%. The Health Palace’s own Hua Ji folds back to the Wealth Palace in about 5%, comparable with the general 6%. The Health Palace faces the Parents Palace, and some teachers say the pressure will also pull on how you get along with elders and superiors. This is an extended reading that needs the whole chart, and is not a judgment on your family.
Find a place to say the money pressure out loud: the Health Palace approach
Pressure is hardest to bear when it has no shape. You can write the money matters that keep you tense as a list: what must be paid regularly, what is still waiting for a result, and what is only a worry, a few items each. A list will not make the money more, but it turns a vague weight into things you can look at one by one. Then pick one small action you can do today, and cross it off when done.
You can also tell the list to someone you trust; saying it out loud is often lighter than thinking it over for three days. This line only describes where the pressure goes, and is not a judgment on your state.
Wealth Palace Hua Ji into the Travel Palace
Spending on going out, on other places and on people outside needs particular attention: the Flying Star school reads money flowing outward and being pulled by outside matters as Wealth Palace Hua Ji flying into the Travel Palace. It speaks of where money flows, not of your luck when you are away from home.
Money follows your steps outside: the Travel Palace receives the Wealth Palace’s Hua Ji
The Travel Palace governs going out, other places and unfamiliar environments, and how you perform outside. The tip on the chart page says money easily goes outside or is pulled by outside matters, and suggests setting a limit for spending on going out and on outward things. Typical scenes: business trip and travel budgets that often run over, clothes added for connections and social occasions, and rent and commuting costs in another city.
Another reading leans positive, and Xingge has not adopted it: some teachers say money going outward means the opportunities are outside, so you can develop toward other places and outward-facing business instead of only holding your ground.
The Travel Palace end: brightness leans bright, the Travel Palace often self-transforms, and the Hua Ji clash on the Life Palace
The Travel Palace receives the Wealth Palace’s Hua Ji in 21,900 charts, about 8.3%. Lian Zhen Hua Ji 10.9%, Tian Tong Hua Ji 10.5%, Ju Men Hua Ji 10.2%, with Tan Lang Hua Ji slightly fewer at 8.8%; first and last differ by about two percentage points, and neighbouring ranks are not apart. Nearly half (49.5%) of the Hua Ji stars sit at Miao or Wang, so brightness leans bright.
The number unique to this line is self-transformation: Travel Palace Self-Hua Ji is 22%, again more than double the average of 10%; the Travel Palace’s Hua Ji falls back on the Wealth Palace in only 1.5%. An empty Wealth Palace is about 10%; Tai Yin in about 10% and Tian Xiang in about 8% sit with the Hua Ji star in the Travel Palace, and it sits alone in about 41%. A chart: the Wealth Palace is in Wu (午), stem Ren, with Po Jun (Miao); the Hua Ji star produced by the Ren stem is Wu Qu (Miao), sitting alone in the Chen (辰) palace, which is the Travel Palace. The palace opposite the Travel Palace is the Life Palace, so some teachers say money matters outside come back to affect your mood and decisions; in plain words, do not treat spending outside as only an outside matter.
Set a limit for spending on going out and on outward things: the Travel Palace approach
Draw a line for outward spending: set your own limit for travel and business trips, social occasions, and lodging and transport in other places, with the amounts set by you. Before you set out, write down what you most want to get from the trip, so the spending is aimed at the point.
When the opportunities are outside, do not let this line stop you from going out. Break attempts in other places into small steps, and decide at each step whether to add more; the risk is easier to see that way. This line describes a flow, and is not telling you to stay home.
Wealth Palace Hua Ji into the Friends Palace
Friends, coworkers and clients are where money most easily follows once the Wealth Palace’s Hua Ji flows into the Friends Palace: loans, favors and the accounts of cooperation call for extra care. In the Quan Shu the Friends Palace is called the Servants Palace.
Money follows favors: the Wealth Palace’s Hua Ji lands in the Friends Palace
The Friends Palace looks at people on a level with you: friends, coworkers and subordinates; counting clients in is an extended reading by some teachers, and Xingge’s palace definition does not mean that. By the split in the schools concept article, this belongs to money spent on other people. The scenes are everyday: treating people more often than you expected, covering coworkers’ costs first, a friend inviting you into a business, or helping someone ask for a loan and then making up the difference yourself.
The common reading is using money to keep relationships going. The reverse reading, which Xingge has not adopted, holds that dealings with people bring in your income, and that money comes in and goes out through your network. Both have their users; see which one fits your actual experience.
The Friends Palace end: brightness leans dim, and an empty Wealth Palace is very rare
This end has 21,973 charts, or 8.4%. Wu Qu Hua Ji 11.2%, Ju Men Hua Ji 10.5%, Lian Zhen Hua Ji 10.2%, with Tian Ji Hua Ji slightly fewer at 9.1%; first and last are two percentage points apart, and neighbouring ranks are not apart. Brightness leans dim: Miao or Wang is only 38.9%, on the low end of the twelve Wealth Palace lines.
An empty Wealth Palace is only 3%, and in those charts the Hua Ji star is always Wen Chang or Wen Qu; Qi Sha in about 10% and Po Jun in about 9% sit with the Hua Ji star in the Friends Palace, and it sits alone in about 47%. A chart: the Wealth Palace is in Chou (丑), stem Ding, with Lian Zhen (Li (Profit)) and Qi Sha (Miao); the Hua Ji star produced by the Ding stem is Ju Men (Xian), sitting alone in the Xu (戌) palace, which is the Friends Palace. The Siblings Palace is right opposite the Friends Palace, and some add a line on the Hua Ji clash on the Siblings Palace: money matters with friends outside will pull on the side of siblings and peers.
Have your own rules for loans and favors: the Friends Palace reminder
It is suggested to sort money dealings with friends and coworkers into three kinds. Treating and gifts are spent and done, so set a monthly limit you can accept beforehand. Loans: lend only an amount you would be fine with not getting back, and make the way of repayment clear. Partnerships or joint funding: write down the division of work and the rules for leaving, in black and white.
Refusing can also be gentle, for example saying first that you have a budget at the moment and suggesting another time. This line speaks of the flow of money and favors; it does not say you have made bad friends. If most of your dealings are with coworkers or clients, apply these rules to payments and advances at work.
Wealth Palace Hua Ji into the Career Palace
Wealth Palace Hua Ji flying into the Career Palace means money you earn easily goes back into work and career, income and career pull on each other, and cash turnover runs tighter. It speaks of where money flows, not of whether your career is good or bad.
The Wealth Palace’s Hua Ji flies into the Career Palace: money earned goes back into work
The Career Palace governs career, work and your expertise. By the classification in the schools concept article, Wealth Palace Hua Ji landing in the Career Palace is money that stays with you; the tip on the Wealth–Fortune line says money earned often goes back into work, turnover runs tight, and you should keep a reserve before expanding. Typical scenes: every time income arrives you upgrade equipment, take further study or add staff, and on paper there is money coming in while the cash in hand is not much.
Some teachers say this is treating money as fuel for the career: the more you earn, the more you want to put into expansion. This line does not distinguish employees from founders; an employee can read it as money spent on work, such as further study, certificates and work clothes. One chart: the Wealth Palace is in Chou (丑), stem Ding, and is empty; the Hua Ji star produced by the Ding stem is Ju Men (Miao), sitting with Tian Ji (Wang) in the You (酉) palace, which is the Career Palace.
The Career Palace end: brightness leans bright, and the Career Palace’s Hua Ji often looks back to the Wealth Palace
About 8.5% of charts take this line, 22,232 in all. Wu Qu Hua Ji 11.3% and Ju Men Hua Ji 10.7% are slightly more, Tian Tong Hua Ji at 8.4% slightly fewer; first and last differ by about three percentage points, but neighbouring ranks are not two points apart. Hua Ji stars at Miao or Wang are 48.4%, leaning bright.
An empty Wealth Palace is about 18%, close to the general 16.4%; in about 13% of charts the Career Palace’s Hua Ji falls back on the Wealth Palace (about 6% in general), and Career Palace Self-Hua Ji is about 4%. The Hua Ji star sits alone in the Career Palace in about 36%, one of the smaller groups among the twelve Wealth Palace lines, with Tian Xiang in about 10% and Tian Fu in about 8% sharing the palace. The Career Palace and the Spouse Palace face each other across the center of the chart, and some teachers say the Hua Ji clash on the Spouse Palace: putting money and energy into work squeezes the time you have with those close to you. Another view, which Xingge has not adopted: this line can also mean a strong drive for career, a willingness to bet resources on your expertise, and need not be read only as tightness.
Look at cash and career separately before expanding: the Career Palace approach
Keeping the accounts of work and your own apart is the most practical approach. Let the money for the business have its own account, keep a share of cash for personal life elsewhere, and make both reviewable on their own. Each time you want to put in more, first write down how long you expect it to take to pay back, and confirm that your personal life can still be maintained even if it does not.
This is an arrangement for turnover, not telling you to invest less in yourself. Further study and building up expertise are long-term matters; as long as you still have a buffer in hand, you can go at your own pace.
Wealth Palace Hua Ji into the Property Palace
The Flying Star school calls Wealth Palace Hua Ji into the Property Palace “wealth into the vault” (財入庫): money is taken into home and house and can be kept, but mostly turns into property and household use, so the cash you can move is on the small side. This reading also appears in the tip on Xingge’s chart page, which says it does not mean you cannot hold on to money.
Wealth Palace Hua Ji into the Property Palace: why it is called wealth into the vault
In the Flying Star school, Ji carries the meaning of storing away, and the Property Palace is seen as the wealth vault, governing home, property and the place where you live with family. When the Wealth Palace’s Hua Ji flies into the Property Palace, money is taken into the vault. The tip on the chart page says: money is pulled into home and house, becomes part of property and household use, and the cash in hand you can move gets smaller.
The point is that it is kept, not that it flows away. Money turns into a house, furniture, renovation and a down payment, and cannot be turned into cash right away when you need it. Reading it as difficulty in keeping wealth is the view of another school of teachers and Xingge has not adopted it; what they mostly mean is also money pressed into the home, with little left in hand. An example: the Wealth Palace is in Hai (亥), stem Yi, with Zi Wei (Wang) and Qi Sha (Ping (Average)); the Hua Ji star produced by the Yi stem is Tai Yin (Bu (Unsupported)), sitting with Tian Tong (Xian) in the Wu (午) palace, which is the Property Palace.
The Property Palace end: more empty Wealth Palaces, and brightness leans dim
After a full round of charting, the Property Palace receives 21,760 charts, or 8.3%. Tan Lang Hua Ji 11.3%, Tian Ji Hua Ji 10.9%, Ju Men Hua Ji 10.6%, with Lian Zhen Hua Ji and Tian Tong Hua Ji at 8.9% each; no ranking can be made. Hua Ji stars that are Xian or Bu (Unsupported) are 27.0%, about 4 percentage points higher than the baseline of 23%, so brightness leans dim.
An empty Wealth Palace is as high as 25%; Ju Men and Po Jun, about 9% each, are the more common co-seated stars, and the Hua Ji star sits alone in about 47%. About 9% of the Property Palace’s own Hua Ji flies back to the Wealth Palace, slightly above the usual. The Property Palace faces the Children Palace, so some teachers say the Hua Ji clash on the Children Palace: with the home and house tying up the money, there is less room to move for money spent on children and new attempts. On brightness, some think that a bright Hua Ji star means the family’s assets are more solid, while with a Xian star the home’s affairs more often hold up the money.
Wealth Palace Hua Ji into the Property Palace: keep your working cash apart from household money
Since money is easily pulled into the home, set a rule for the cash in hand: keep working cash separate, not in the same account as the mortgage, renovation and household use, and decide yourself how much to keep. Put big household expenses in an order and handle only one at a time.
Stay away from short-term trading, because this kind of money is mostly already tied up in house and household, and putting it in a place that must be turned into cash at any time makes both sides tight. That is what the chart page’s reminder says, and it does not ask you to buy or sell anything. If you are about to buy a house or renovate, take it as a reminder: first confirm that you can leave room for working cash.
Wealth Palace Hua Ji into the Fortune Palace
The Flying Star school calls Wealth Palace Hua Ji into the Fortune Palace a Hua Ji clash on the Wealth Palace: the Fortune Palace sits opposite the Wealth Palace, so Hua Ji flying to the opposite palace strikes back on the Wealth Palace itself. The tip on the chart page is that money matters come back to affect mood and spending, going back and forth; this does not mean losing money.
The Wealth Palace’s Hua Ji flies into the Fortune Palace: money and mood pull on each other
The Fortune Palace governs inner enjoyment, emotions and leisure. The schools concept article groups Wealth Palace Hua Ji landing in the Fortune Palace as money that stays with you, spent on interests and enjoyment. As scenes: you buy when your mood is good and also buy when it is bad; with heavy work pressure you spend to make up for it; and the moment you worry about money, your mood drops with it.
That is, the point of this line is not money flowing to others, but money and emotion tied together and going back and forth. When you read it, you need not treat money spent on yourself as waste; what to look at is the mood before you spend.
The Fortune Palace end: an especially high share of empty Wealth Palaces
The Fortune Palace receives 21,987 charts (8.4%). Ju Men Hua Ji and Tan Lang Hua Ji 10.8% each, Tian Ji Hua Ji 10.5%, Lian Zhen Hua Ji and Tai Yang Hua Ji 8.8% each; first and last are about two percentage points apart. Miao or Wang is 49.5%, another line leaning bright.
What is unique to this line is the empty Wealth Palace: about 40% in the sample against about 16.4% in general, far above the second place among the twelve Wealth Palace lines (the Property Palace line, about 25%). Counting the other way gives the same result: among charts with an empty Wealth Palace, about 20% have this line, against about 8% for any one line in general. A chart: the Wealth Palace is in Shen (申), stem Jia, and is empty, so it is read by borrowing Tai Yang (Wang) and Ju Men (Miao) from the Fortune Palace; the Hua Ji produced by the Jia stem is exactly Tai Yang, sitting in the Fortune Palace, that is, the borrowed star itself. The San He school looks only at the main stars and brightness of the Fortune Palace and takes them as clues to how you enjoy yourself, without linking them to the Wealth Palace’s stem.
Wealth Palace Hua Ji into the Fortune Palace: give mood spending a proper budget
Since money and mood are tied together, simply give enjoyment a proper budget: one fixed sum each month, spent without apology, and the rest of your money is then easier to keep. You decide the amount; what matters is that it has a name and a limit.
When the urge to buy comes, put the item on a list first, look at it again after a night, and buy only if you still want it the next day. The direction of the chart page’s reminder is the same: first keep your cash flow steady, then think about how to earn more. This is a way of sorting spending habits; it does not teach you what to buy or sell, and it does not tell you to be hard on yourself.
Wealth Palace Hua Ji into the Parents Palace
Elders, superiors, and formal matters such as documents, contracts and status are where money most easily goes once the Wealth Palace’s Hua Ji falls into the Parents Palace. It speaks of where money flows, and does not judge how well you get along with your parents.
The Wealth Palace’s Hua Ji flies into the Parents Palace: money goes to elders and documents
The Parents Palace governs elders and superiors, and also documents and study. The schools concept article puts the Parents Palace among the palaces where money is spent on other people. Typical scenes: money for supporting parents and elders’ living costs, courtesies for a superior or senior, fees for further study and certificates, and charges for signing contracts and filing documents.
Some teachers extend the Parents Palace to status and form, which Xingge’s palace page does not mean; by that extension, Hua Ji into the Parents Palace also points to money spent on a name, a title or a qualification. For example: the Wealth Palace is in Mao (卯), stem Ding, with Lian Zhen (Ping (Average)) and Po Jun (Xian); the Hua Ji star produced by the Ding stem is Ju Men (Miao), sitting with Tai Yang (De (Gain)) in the Shen (申) palace, which is the Parents Palace. If you do not live with or see your parents, read it as superiors, teachers and institutions.
The Parents Palace end: brightness leans dim, and the Hua Ji star mostly sits alone
The Parents Palace has 22,315 charts, about 8.5%. Tan Lang Hua Ji 11.0%, Ju Men Hua Ji and Tian Tong Hua Ji 10.6% each, Tai Yang Hua Ji slightly fewer at 8.3%; first and last are nearly three percentage points apart, and neighbouring ranks are less than two points apart. Brightness leans dim: Miao or Wang is 39.9%, and Xian plus Bu (Unsupported) is 26.1%.
An empty Wealth Palace is about 24%, higher than the general 16.4%; in about 49% of charts the Hua Ji star sits alone in the Parents Palace, in the same group as the Property and Friends Palaces, which often sit alone, and Qi Sha and Po Jun, about 8% each, sit with it. On the Parents Palace end, about 9.5% of charts have the Hua Ji star flying back to the Wealth Palace, slightly above the usual. The Parents Palace faces the Health Palace, and some teachers say the Hua Ji clash on the Health Palace: money matters tied to elders and documents become pressure on your mind. Only pressure is discussed here, and no health judgment is made.
Wealth Palace Hua Ji into the Parents Palace: list support money and document fees first
For money dealings with elders, first separate the fixed from the occasional: set the fixed support at an amount you can afford, discuss the occasional ones separately, and make clear within the family who bears which part. You decide the amount, and there is no need to compare with anyone.
For further study, certificates and document fees, first confirm what they bring, then decide whether to pay. This line speaks of how you deal with elders and institutions, and is not judging your parents.
FAQ
How do I work out which palace Wealth Palace Hua Ji flies into?
Chart first, read the stem of the Wealth Palace, then look up the Hua Ji star in the table (Jia to Gui in order: Tai Yang, Tai Yin, Lian Zhen, Ju Men, Tian Ji, Wen Qu, Tian Tong, Wen Chang, Wu Qu, Tan Lang). The palace it sits in is the landing palace; if it sits in the Wealth Palace itself, it is Self-Hua Ji.
Is Wealth Palace Hua Ji from the Zi Wei Dou Shu Quan Shu?
No. The old text has no step of 「每宮各用自己的天干重排一次四化」 — “laying the Four Transformations out again from each palace’s own stem”. This is the later Flying Star school’s reading. It describes where the energy of your money concern flows; it is not a rule from the text, and not a verdict on your wealth.
Does Wealth Palace Hua Ji into a palace mean I will not have enough money or cannot save?
You cannot infer that. Each chart has only one landing palace, and the chart counts of the twelve lines differ by less than 20%.

What is the difference between Wealth Palace Hua Ji and birth-year Hua Ji?
They rest on different stems.

The two coincide in about 10% of charts: when the Wealth Palace stem happens to equal the birth-year stem, the Hua Ji star produced is the birth-year Hua Ji. When you read, keep the two layers apart.
Wealth Palace Hua Ji into the Life Palace: I earn a lot but still feel anxious. How do I read it?

My partner spends very differently from me. How do I read Wealth Palace Hua Ji into the Spouse Palace?
This line does not point out who is right and who is wrong; it says only that money matters more easily become a topic of how you get along.

Wealth Palace Hua Ji into the Health Palace: why do I feel so tired as soon as money comes up?

Wealth Palace Hua Ji into the Travel Palace: how do I read the chance of working abroad or in another place?

Wealth Palace Hua Ji into the Property Palace: my cash is always tight. What has gone wrong?

What is the difference between wealth into the vault and not being able to hold on to wealth?

What is the difference between Wealth Palace Hua Ji into the Fortune Palace and Wealth Palace Self-Hua Ji?

Why is the Parents Palace connected with documents and status?
On Xingge, the Parents Palace governs elders and your relationship with authority and institutions, and documents and examinations are counted in.
