The twelve palaces
What is the Fortune Palace?
The Fortune Palace covers your inner life: what nourishes you, how at ease you feel, and the good fortune you inherit.
Three palaces to read with the Fortune Palace
The palace opposite is the Wealth Palace, and the trine palaces are the Spouse Palace and the Travel Palace. Together these four make up the San Fang Si Zheng of the Fortune Palace. The opposite palace has the strongest pull after the palace itself, and the two trines act like the other corners of a triangle, each echoing the others.
