The Parents Palace
Governs: Ties with parents, elders and bosses, and traditionally documents, contracts and exams.
How to read it: The main star describes your elders' temperament and how you get along; Lu (prosperity) brings their care, Ji (affliction) harder communication and a need to watch paperwork and contracts.
Alignment: Its opposite, Health, is traditionally linked to inherited constitution; its trines, Children and Friends, connect the generations and your wider circle.
Keep in mind: This palace describes patterns of connection, not a judgement of your parents themselves.
