One of the 12 chart palaces

Siblings Palace

The Siblings palace covers your brothers and sisters, the people as close as family, and how you support one another.

A 10-year luck period through the Siblings palace

This decade is closely tied to siblings, close friends, and like-minded people: cooperation, support, or friction may all come from them. Keeping harmony and being clear about money with loved ones will keep the period calm.

When the Siblings palace is empty (no major star)

An empty Siblings palace shows that ties among siblings are not too binding; each tends to go their own way, and sometimes close friends feel nearer than family. This palace borrows the stars of the opposite Friends palace, more lightly. Staying in touch on important occasions will keep family bonds lasting, while like-minded friends are a precious source of support.

Major stars in the Siblings palace

Zi Wei in the Siblings palace

When bright: Your siblings usually have standing and ability, and when needed they are people you can truly count on. A bright Zi Wei here also suggests a few high-caliber close friends who help each other rise. The downside is that everyone in the family wants to lead, so discuss big matters openly rather than leaving the decision to one person.

When weak: When Zi Wei is dim or meets malefic stars, sibling relationships can become a formality: you meet out of duty but share little, and sometimes quietly compare status. Close friends also tend to come and go. Be the one who connects people through concrete gestures, like a shared meal or help at the right moment, instead of waiting for others to reach out.

Tian Ji in the Siblings palace

When bright: With a bright Tian Ji, siblings are usually quick-witted, each with a different talent, often sharing good ideas with one another. You may also have a close friend who acts like an advisor, someone to discuss business or studies with. These bonds lean more on the mind than the heart, so now and then offer each other simple care.

When weak: A fallen Tian Ji in the Siblings palace suggests siblings who tend to go separate ways, weigh gains and losses, and misunderstand each other over small things. Close friendships may also change with each stage of life. Don’t try to keep every relationship; choose a few sincere people and be transparent with them about money and paperwork.

Tai Yang in the Siblings palace

When bright: A bright Tai Yang in the Siblings palace suggests a lively, generous group of siblings who readily lift each other up when one is struggling. Among close friends, you often play the one who shines or the one who starts things. Be a little careful with pride, and don’t let comparisons damage the bonds of family.

When weak: A fallen Tai Yang can bring quiet gaps among siblings: each busy in a different place, sometimes upset over a misunderstanding with no one willing to speak first. You may be the one who gives a lot and receives little in return. Keep your kindness but set clear limits, and take the first step to mend things when you sense the relationship cooling.

Wu Qu in the Siblings palace

When bright: Siblings under a bright Wu Qu are usually straightforward, good at business, and ready to support each other in practical ways, such as investing together or lending money when it counts. Your close friends are few but high quality. Just keep clear records when you partner with family, so love and money don’t get mixed up.

When weak: A fallen Wu Qu suggests that friction can arise between you and your siblings over money, shared property, or who contributes more. Everyone is stubborn, so one harsh word can leave a lasting distance. It is best to put agreements in black and white, and to give way a step before things become serious.

Tian Tong in the Siblings palace

When bright: A bright Tian Tong in the Siblings palace usually means harmonious siblings who rarely compete and always have fun together. Your close friends are easygoing too, more likely to plan outings than discuss heavy topics. When something big needs doing, assign roles clearly, because everyone is so mild that tasks easily get passed around.

When weak: A fallen Tian Tong suggests siblings who don’t dislike each other but drift to different places, with contact thinning over the years. At times a younger sibling or close friend may draw you into costly fun. Keep fixed occasions for getting together, and learn to decline gently when an invitation isn’t good for you.

Lian Zhen in the Siblings palace

When bright: A bright Lian Zhen in the Siblings palace suggests serious siblings who keep their word, each with their own personality and a strong sense of responsibility. Your close friends are few but reliable, people who do what they say. Because everyone has their own principles, clashes can happen; one step back is usually all it takes.

When weak: A fallen Lian Zhen suggests sibling relationships that can be strained by grudges, perhaps from short tempers, shared paperwork, or words said without restraint. Be cautious about putting your name on documents or guaranteeing loans for relatives. Keep clear boundaries without closing the door, and once tempers cool, be the one to offer peace.

Tian Fu in the Siblings palace

When bright: A bright Tian Fu in the Siblings palace shows siblings who look after one another, pooling effort and resources whenever the family needs it. You often play the keeper of family ways, the one everyone trusts and confides in. Don’t take on every task just to keep the peace; let each person carry a share.

When weak: When Tian Fu is neutral or veiled by the Void and Cut-off stars, siblings still look out for each other but lack strength: everyone wants to help yet circumstances don’t allow it, or shared assets easily dwindle. Keep shared matters clearly defined, and help each other through connections and advice when financial help isn’t yet possible.

Tai Yin in the Siblings palace

When bright: A bright Tai Yin in the Siblings palace suggests affectionate, harmonious siblings who care for each other through small but warm gestures. You may also have a few refined, understanding close friends you can talk with for hours. Just avoid absorbing the whole family’s sorrows, because you need to be heard too.

When weak: A fallen Tai Yin can leave quiet hurts among siblings: everyone loves each other but rarely says so, and resentments pile up into distance. You may be the one who keeps giving way and then feels sad alone. Be brave enough to speak openly, and choose a gentle moment to untie old knots.

Tan Lang in the Siblings palace

When bright: A bright Tan Lang in the Siblings palace suggests resourceful siblings who are good at getting things done and may do business together or widen each other’s networks. Your circle of close friends is fun, talented, and always cooking up something new. There can be quiet rivalry at home, though, so praise each other more than you compare.

When weak: A fallen Tan Lang can bring comparison, competition, or clashing lifestyles between you and your siblings. A few close friends may draw you into costly pursuits. Keep a reasonable distance from those who keep tempting you, and invest in relationships that help you both grow.

Ju Men in the Siblings palace

When bright: A bright Ju Men in the Siblings palace suggests smart, reasonable siblings who can help each other with sharp advice. Your close friends are often the ones who dare to point out what you haven’t seen. The family does debate a lot, though, so make a habit of giving feedback privately rather than in front of others.

When weak: A fallen Ju Men can make siblings prone to quarrels, with small matters growing big through back-and-forth words or listening to outsiders’ gossip. Be careful when sharing secrets with close friends, too. Verify before you believe, talk directly rather than through intermediaries, and apologize before it becomes necessary.

Tian Xiang in the Siblings palace

When bright: A bright Tian Xiang in the Siblings palace suggests upright siblings who keep their word and often act as peacemakers when the family has troubles. Your close friends are trustworthy and ready to stand up for you. Treasure these relationships and don’t hesitate to ask for help, because support here usually flows both ways.

When weak: A fallen Tian Xiang suggests siblings who mean well but are easily led by outsiders, sometimes pulling you into matters not worth your time. You may also, out of politeness, guarantee loans or lend beyond your means. Help within your capacity, state your terms clearly from the start, and don’t be afraid to say no when something feels off.

Tian Liang in the Siblings palace

When bright: A bright Tian Liang in the Siblings palace suggests harmonious siblings who give way to and protect one another like a safety net. Among close friends, you are often the one trusted for advice. Keep that role through listening, and don’t become someone who always has to be right.

When weak: A fallen Tian Liang can scatter siblings to different places, or include one who lives so freely the whole family worries. You may take on the rescuer role too much. Helping at the right time and to the right degree, while letting relatives own their choices, is the most lasting way to love.

Qi Sha in the Siblings palace

When bright: A bright Qi Sha in the Siblings palace suggests siblings with strong personalities who live independently and manage well far from home. Your close friends are few but brave, and they show up when trouble strikes. Affection here is not loud; it is shown mostly through action, so don’t wait for sweet words.

When weak: A fallen Qi Sha can make sibling ties cool and distant, each in a different place, and prone to clashes when you do meet because everyone is stubborn. You may feel you have to handle everything on your own. Stay in touch regularly, even briefly, and let time soften conflicts instead of trying to declare a winner.

Po Jun in the Siblings palace

When bright: A bright Po Jun in the Siblings palace suggests dynamic, daring siblings who each carve out their own path. Your close friends tend to be pioneers who are always inviting each other to try something new. Working with them is exciting; just have clear agreements to avoid losses when a project changes direction.

When weak: A fallen Po Jun can scatter siblings, leave them rarely of one mind, and let money between relatives dwindle. You may lose money or effort helping a close friend who doesn’t plan well. Help by pointing the way rather than handing over money, and keep affection separate from joint business.
