Wu is better than Zi; only when sun and moon are bright can darkness be held down

Tianji in Zi/Wu Life Palace: the wisdom star sits in Life Palace itself; in these two palaces it is brightest, called in temple. Opposite is Jumen; Wealth Palace is Tiantong and Tianliang; Career Palace is Taiyin. The three directions gather Tianji, Taiyin, Tiantong, and Tianliang, called Ji-Yue-Tong-Liang pattern: people are clever, the mind is fine, they excel at planning, eloquence is not poor. Suited to being a left-and-right hand, not well suited to being the boss yourself. Opposite Jumen in Travel Palace: earn outside by speech and brains. Jumen Hua Lu or Hua Quan: more rounded outside, plans more able to land. Tianji’s force for taking a stand is weak: if the opposite is good, it follows good; if the opposite meets malefics and Hua Ji, it easily loves debate and keeps switching. Change is also opportunity; with Ke, Quan, and Lu, talent can be used on proper work. Wu is better than Zi: in Wu, sun and moon are both bright; in Zi, sun and moon are both weak, so Jumen’s darkness more easily turns back to affect you.

Teacher Ming's reading: Tianji in Zi/Wu Life Palace

Do not treat Tianji in temple as being the boss yourself. I think Tianji in Zi/Wu is brightest: people are clever, the mind is fine, they excel at planning—typical left-and-right-hand talent. Opposite Jumen in Travel: earn outside by speech and brains. If the opposite is good, it follows good; if the opposite meets malefics, it easily loves debate and keeps switching.

Yi, Bing, Xin, and Gui years share much the same point—Lu and Quan are there, so talent can be used on proper work. Years not listed here need not panic; first hear this star group’s temperament.

Tianji in Zi versus Wu

Opposite Jumen forms Tian Guan pattern, able to help you rise

Opposite Jumen shining over is classically called Tian Guan pattern, able to help you rise. Ji-Yue-Tong-Liang gathers; literary art and coordination are both not weak, chances are more. Leading force is weak; success and failure depend on whether opposite Jumen is good.

Both are moving stars; change is opportunity and also risk

Tianji and Jumen both rule unrest; life is little stillness, much change. Turns can open new ground, and can also go wrong as soon as you move. Meeting malefics, easy to calculate for yourself; meeting Ke, Quan, and Lu, talent can be used on the proper road.

Tianji sitting Zi/Wu is brightest: clever, fine, good at planning

Tianji rules cleverness toward the good; sitting Zi/Wu it is brightest. The mind is fine, order is clear; they excel at strategy and planning—typical left-and-right-hand talent. As long as mouth and brains are used, performance easily shows.

Learning points: Tianji in Zi/Wu Life Palace

  1. Most needs noblemen such as Tiankui and Tianyue to pull you up: Tianji is like a counselor, needing noblemen to lift. With Tiankui and Tianyue, chances can show and talent has a stage; without noblemen, however good the plan, it is hard to rise.
  2. Wenchang and Wenqu sandwiching Life: talent is more complete: Tianji already has strategy; add Wenchang and Wenqu, cleverness is more complete, suited to literary art and media. Literary stars should not land in weak palaces; sandwiching Life Palace is steadier than merely shining over.
  3. Wu is better than Zi; sun and moon both bright can hold down darkness: in Wu, Career Taiyin in Xu, Spouse Taiyang in Chen—both bright, called sun and moon both bright; mid-life more easily stands firm. In Zi, sun and moon are both weak; Jumen’s darkness easily reflects back, and the spouse more easily becomes a drag.
  4. Opposite Jumen in Travel: earn outside by speech: if the opposite is not too bad, Tianji’s good side can come out. Favors Hua Lu: people are rounded, eloquence good; favors Hua Quan: has debate talent. Greatest fear is tone too hard; meeting malefics, loves debate, is squeezed out, and still uneasy after switching.

Teacher Ming's reading: how to read Tianji in Zi/Wu

To close this article. Tianji in Zi/Wu sits alone, clever, fine, good at planning; three directions Ji-Yue-Tong-Liang, suited to being a left-and-right hand. Opposite Jumen forms Tian Guan, able to help you rise. Both are moving stars; change is opportunity and also risk. Most needs noblemen such as Tiankui and Tianyue to pull you up. Change with Ke, Quan, and Lu lets talent be used on proper work.

I think three sentences are enough. First, this group is left-and-right hand, not the boss. Second, success and failure look at opposite Jumen. Third, with noblemen, talent has a stage.
