- With peers and colleagues: Among colleagues you tend to find a friend you can really open up to.
- Working together and partnerships: Working together relies on an unspoken understanding, but say things plainly too rather than relying on guesswork.

Bright and fallen positions

The table shows the major stars of the Friends, Life, Spouse and Property Palaces for each of the twelve branches Tai Yin can occupy in the Siblings Palace (this site gives no health readings, so the Health Palace is left out).

What our sample shows
How we counted: this site’s engine cast one Zi Wei chart for every day from 1960 to 2005 (birth hour drawn by a fixed-seed random sample), 16,802 charts in all. These figures describe how chart structures are distributed; they do not measure anyone’s number of siblings or how those siblings will fare.
Other major stars in the Siblings Palace
A straight word: the Siblings Palace is about how you get on with your peers, not how many siblings you have
The Siblings Palace describes how you relate to and deal with siblings, peers, colleagues and business partners. It cannot tell you how many brothers and sisters you have, where you come in the family, or whose life will turn out better; classical verdicts such as siblings "clashing" with you or "thin sibling ties" are never used on this site. Tradition also reads ready cash from this palace; we only treat it as a reminder to take extra care when money passes between you and your peers, and it is not lending or investment advice. Everything on this site is for reference and entertainment only.
