What is the Siblings Palace?

Three palaces to read with the Siblings Palace

The palace opposite is the Friends Palace, and the trine palaces are the Health Palace and the Property Palace. Together these four make up the San Fang Si Zheng of the Siblings 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.

An empty Siblings Palace
