How to read Tian Ji in the Travel Palace
Tian Ji at its core: Transforms into Goodness; the star of wisdom. Thinking, planning and change, with a tendency to overthink. Better at work of the mind than of the hands. The Travel Palace covers who you become away from home: on the road, in public, and where your opportunities come from.
