Main stars × twelve palaces
How to read Tai Yang in the Travel Palace
Tai Yang at its core: Transforms into Nobility; the star that gives out. Warmth, giving, and reputation before profit. Bright, it shines; dim, it labors and worries. The Travel Palace covers who you become away from home: on the road, in public, and where your opportunities come from.
What Tai Yang in the Travel Palace looks like
The same star in a different branch has a different brightness, and shows up differently. Below, the readings are split by brightness.
When bright (Miao or Wang)
The further you go, the brighter you shine, and you do well away from home and in public. Don't spend all your light on others.
When dim (Xian or Bu)
You want to go out and make your mark, but unfamiliar settings easily drain you. Practice being seen in smaller circles first.
Tai Yang's four transformations in the Travel Palace
Tai Yang Hua Lu
When you go out into the world you easily meet helpful people, and the bigger the occasion, the more you stand out. Opportunities often appear once you leave familiar ground.
Tai Yang Hua Quan
Out in the world you can carry a big occasion and easily get pushed into the spotlight. The higher you stand, the more you need to leave room.
Tai Yang Hua Ji
Out in the world you want to come across as generous and polished, yet you often feel no one truly understands you. Rein in your expectations, and the road gets easier.
