How the opposite palace is pulled in
The opposite Siblings Palace is affected too: the same question of who leads plays out in your inner circle.
When you read the birth-year Hua Quan, always look at the opposite palace too. The palace Hua Quan sits in is where the power, command and pressure come from, and the opposite palace basks in it. Further reading: Hua Quan in the Siblings Palace.
Which star takes Quan in your birth year
The birth-year Four Transformations are set by the heavenly stem of your birth year: people born in a Jia year get Hua Quan on one star, people born in a Yi year on another. The table lists the star for each of the ten stems. If that star sits in your Friends Palace, this page describes your chart. Tap a star name to read about it in the Friends Palace.
| Year stem | Star that takes Quan | The flavor of Quan it brings |
|---|---|---|
| Jia years (ending in 4) | Po Jun | The nerve to reform and break new ground. |
| Yi years (ending in 5) | Tian Liang | An elder’s authority: caring, but also in charge. |
| Bing years (ending in 6) | Tian Ji | Command over planning and decisions. |
| Ding years (ending in 7) | Tian Tong | Gentle on the surface, firm underneath. |
| Wu years (ending in 8) | Tai Yin | Quiet control, focused on home and money. |
| Ji years (ending in 9) | Tan Lang | Pull in social circles and a strong drive for what you want. |
| Geng years (ending in 0) | Wu Qu | A firm hand with money and execution. |
| Xin years (ending in 1) | Tai Yang | Visibility and influence. |
| Ren years (ending in 2) | Zi Wei | The emperor star takes the reins: the strongest urge to lead. |
| Gui years (ending in 3) | Ju Men | Words that carry weight; authority through expertise. |
Zi Wei Dou Shu changes year on Lunar New Year’s Day, so if you were born in January or February, check your lunar year first. The year stem follows the last digit of the Western year (1984 and 1994, for example, are Jia years).
What we measured
How we counted: our engine cast one Zi Wei chart for every day from 1960 to 2005, with the birth hour drawn by a fixed-seed random sample, 16,802 charts in all. This shows how chart structures are distributed; it says nothing about anyone’s fortunes.
In our sample, about 8.5% of people have the birth-year Hua Quan in the Friends Palace; the most common stars are Tan Lang (12.5%), Po Jun (11.5%), Tai Yang (10.9%). Hua Quan spreads fairly evenly over the palaces, and no palace is especially rare. The real differences lie in which star takes Quan, how bright that star is, and what other stars share the palace or sit opposite it.
Advice
Borrow strength by all means, but be clear about who leads.

A straight word: Hua Quan is a plus, not a promise
Hua Quan shows where power, command and pressure gather in your life. It is a tendency, not a guaranteed outcome. We do not predict marriage, children, parents’ fortunes, wealth or health, and we do not read the Health Palace. Everything on this site is for reference and entertainment and is not investment, financial or real estate advice.
