What is the Spouse Palace?

Three palaces to read with the Spouse Palace

The palace opposite is the Career Palace, and the trine palaces are the Travel Palace and the Fortune Palace. Together these four make up the San Fang Si Zheng of the Spouse 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.
