Tai Yin 太阴 in the Friends Palace 交友宫

The Moon · Networks and helpers · the palace that asks: who supports me?

Few friends, deep ones. Confidences here are vaults, not currents.

The full reading

The circle is small by design and deep by default. Tai Yin in the Friends Palace keeps few friends, holds them for decades, and serves as the vault where their secrets live; people tell this placement things they have told no one, correctly sensing the discretion. Women often anchor the network. Help arrives quietly, the introduction made without being asked, the loan offered before the need is spoken, and this star reciprocates in the same currency. Two watch points: hurt here withdraws instead of confronting, and friendships can end in silence that the other party never understood. Say the grievance once, gently, before archiving a person. Some vaults deserve the chance to apologise.

How the Friends Palace works

The Friends Palace governs the wider circle: colleagues, subordinates, communities, and the quality of help around you. It is never read alone: its opposite palace, the Siblings Palace 兄弟宫, shines across into it, so Tai Yin here is always answered by whatever sits across the wheel. Read the full Friends Palace guide.

When Tai Yin transforms (四化)

In certain birth years, and again in matching decade and annual cycles, Tai Yin carries one of the Four Transformations. With the star seated in your Friends Palace, the transformation lands there too.

乙年 化忌In Yi years, Hua Ji (obstruction): the star knots, and this domain carries that year’s recurring lesson, also clashing its opposite palace.
丁年 化禄In Ding years, Hua Lu (prosperity): the star’s themes flow with unusual ease that year, and this palace’s domain tends to open and provide.
戊年 化权In Wu years, Hua Quan (power): the star hardens into drive and authority, and this domain becomes an arena of effort and contest.
庚年 化科In Geng years, Hua Ke (recognition): the star turns refined and visible, bringing reputation, credentials and gentle rescue to this domain.
癸年 化科In Gui years, Hua Ke (recognition): the star turns refined and visible, bringing reputation, credentials and gentle rescue to this domain.
