The Steward you know
You probably know someone with this star.
Tian Fu is the commanding star and the treasury: steady and careful, valuing reserves and a way out. A friend with a strong Tian Fu checks the ride home before going out, and always keeps some money in the bank they never touch.
With something in the treasury, they are at ease.
Four spectrums
The spectrums are our modern way of drawing the stars. The method is public; it isn't from the classical texts.

Life Palace
You're steady, cautious and good at holding on to what you have, and you work things out before you act. Security is the bottom line for your decisions.
Spouse Palace
You want a stable, secure love and tend to meet mature, dependable partners. Once you feel safe enough, you open up.
Wealth Palace
You're great at saving and careful with money, and money is safer in your hands. Keep it, and let it work for you too.
Career Palace
You suit steady positions in big organizations, such as management, finance and administration. The longer you stay, the steadier you get, so don't rush to switch tracks.

Siblings Palace
You get along peacefully with peers and can support each other. Connect a little more, and the help is bigger than you think.
Children Palace
You look after your children and team well and give them plenty of resources. You can make it too comfortable, though, so they miss out on being tested.
Health Palace
Your base is steady and you handle pressure well. Eating too well and moving too little is the risk; a regular routine keeps you going.
Travel Palace
Away from home you build steadily, growing your network on credit and resources. Don't rush to stand out, and your path keeps widening.
Friends Palace
You make long-term, reliable friends, and you value quality over quantity. The ones who stay ten years are your people.
Property Palace
The treasury star sits in your Property Palace, so your luck with property is good and you tend to accumulate real estate. The deeper your family base, the bolder you are out in the world.
Fortune Palace
You enjoy stability and a sense of plenty, and your savings balance is therapy. Just don't let life become nothing but bookkeeping.
Parents Palace
Your elders' support is solid and takes some worry off your mind. Take on the family base, and still make a way of your own.
These are readings for Tian Fu alone in a palace. With other stars beside it, the reading changes.
