Taiyang and Taiyin in Chou/Wei Life Palace

Wei Palace values name more; Chou Palace is better at saving money

Taiyang Taiyin in Chou/Wei in the Life Palace is called 日月同臨 (Riyue Tonglin, Sun and Moon Together): Taiyang and Taiyin squeezed in the same Life Palace. Opposite has no main star; Wealth Palace in Mao/You is also empty; Career Palace is Tianliang, falling in Si/Hai, force on the weak side. Outside like Taiyin: refined, conservative, rule-keeping; inside like Taiyang: proud, face-conscious. The person often tugs between advance and retreat; ideals are many, yet steps easily stop in place. Sun and Moon are both moving stars; a lifetime is mostly busy for career and name, yet they do not much contest rank. Wei Palace Taiyang is brighter, more concerned with career and name; a man’s chart is smoother. Chou Palace Taiyin is brighter, better at saving money; a woman’s chart is smoother. Neither side is suited to business; they suit stable clerical work—public office, culture, large companies.

Teacher Ming's reading: Taiyang Taiyin in Chou/Wei in the Life Palace

Students hear Sun and Moon Together and often think two noble stars squeezed together must be very prosperous. I think this is not joint radiance—it is fair and foul weather stuffed into the same room. Taiyang wants to give off heat; Taiyin wants to gather in. Outside refined, inside face-conscious: the person tugs between advance and retreat. Opposite empty, Wealth empty, Career Tianliang also weak: rank need not be contested hard.

Bing, Wu, and Xin years: the point is much the same—with Lu and auspicious stars, they can more readily take a sector alone. Years not listed here need not panic—first get this star group's temperament.

Differences between Taiyang Taiyin in Chou and in Wei

Wei Palace has more name; Chou Palace is better at saving money

Sun and Moon are both moving stars; a lifetime is mostly busy for career and name. Wealth Palace is empty; Career Palace Tianliang is also weak: they do not much contest rank. Wei Palace Taiyang is bright, more concerned with name; Chou Palace Taiyin is bright, better at saving money. Only when Life Palace Hua Quan are they more willing to contest.

Hard and soft do not join: not suited to business

Yin and yang have not joined; meeting affairs they easily fix on small points and miss the whole. A man’s chart is not bold enough; a woman’s chart is not soft enough. Wei Palace favors men, Chou Palace favors women in employment; both suit stable clerical work, not suited to business.

Sun and Moon squeezed together: fair and foul weather, hard to land

日月同臨 Sun and Moon Together: outside refined and conservative like Taiyin, inside proud and face-conscious like Taiyang. Action is cautious, yet thoughts change readily; they often tug between advance and retreat; ideals are many yet hard to land.

Learning points: Taiyang Taiyin in Chou/Wei in the Life Palace

1. Sun and Moon in the same palace: kinship with the six relations is thinner: Sun and Moon occupy the seats of Parents, Spouse, and Children; kinship is thin, a lifetime of much rushing about. These two stars like shining over from other palaces; they dislike being squeezed in Life. Tianliang most fears sitting with Tuoluo; marriage easily breaks from inability to decide.
2. Wei Palace can more readily transform isolation; Chou Palace Taiyang should not Hua Ji: Wei Palace Taiyang is brighter, able to press down Tianliang’s isolation; Chou Palace Taiyang is weak, much dispute. Taiyang Hua Ji: even more isolated, even more changeable. Taiyang Hua Quan or Hua Lu: the person is more open. Taiyin’s auspicious transformations cannot resolve Tianliang’s isolation.
3. Most likes auspicious stars coming to support, then they can take a sector alone: Sun and Moon are like chief stars of the mid-heaven; they most fear solitude. Hua Ke, Hua Quan, Hua Lu and the six auspicious stars shining toward them: civil and martial work can both be done; they can take a sector alone. Without auspicious stars, ideals are hard to land.
4. Most fears Qingyang Tuoluo Huoxing Lingxing and Hua Ji: once Qingyang, Tuoluo, Huoxing, Lingxing, or Hua Ji come, yin and yang join even less; career and feeling both easily snap. Meeting Dikong Dijie, money is less steady; the person is instead more candid.

Teacher Ming's reading: how to read this Taiyang Taiyin in Chou/Wei chart

Let me wrap this article up. Taiyang Taiyin in Chou/Wei: ideals are many, yet steps easily stop. Neither side is suited to business; they suit stable clerical work—public office, culture, large companies. Sun and Moon in the same palace: kinship with the six relations is thinner. They most like auspicious stars coming to support; they most fear Qingyang Tuoluo Huoxing Lingxing and Hua Ji. The person often tugs between advance and retreat.

I think students need only remember three sentences. First, this is not joint radiance—it is fair and foul weather in the same room. Second, suited to stable clerical work; do not do business. Third, many ideals—do not let the steps stop at the mouth.
