Tian Ji in the Property Palace: The Kind of Home You Want
Tian Ji in the Property Palace means your living situation changes often: moving house, changing cities, redecorating, and home rarely stays the same for long. The old texts say Tian Ji here "does well in motion, not at rest".
Home and living
People with Tian Ji here have lots of ideas about home and like planning space, working out storage and how people move through a room. The lesson is too much change, so a sense of stability at home has to be built on purpose.
- Home style: You like a highly functional, cleverly planned space you can rearrange at any time.
- Property and savings: You think and compare a lot before buying property, and your decisions can go back and forth.
- Life with the family: You are often the one who comes up with ideas and plans for household matters.
You and your home: the Life and Property Palaces
With Tian Ji in the Property Palace, the Life Palace always holds Wu Qu: out in the world you are practical, decisive and efficient, yet at home you have endless ideas and always want to adjust something.

Bright and fallen positions
When bright, each move leaves you better housed than before. When fallen, your living situation is unsettled and you often feel you have not quite settled in. Brightness by branch, from the table of the Complete Book this site uses: Exalted: Zi, Wu; Strong: Mao, You; Favorable: Yin, Shen; Fair: Chen, Xu; Neutral: Si, Hai; Fallen: Chou, Wei.
Opposite the Property Palace is the Children Palace (home and family pull on each other), and its trine is the Siblings Palace and the Health Palace. The table shows the major stars of the Children, Life, Wealth and Siblings Palaces for each of the twelve branches Tian Ji can occupy in the Property Palace (we make no health readings from the Health Palace, so it is left out).
