兄弟宫 · Siblings, peers & partners
Siblings Palace
The Siblings palace (兄弟宫) governs your bonds with brothers, sisters, peers, business partners, and close friends — how deep these peer ties run and how much they lift you. It also shows whether you rise with the help of equals.
What does the Siblings Palace govern?
Siblings, peers, business partners, close friends — peer-level relationships.
The Siblings palace covers the people standing in your row — siblings, peers, partners, close friends. Strong stars give powerful peer support, smooth partnerships, and a reliable circle; weak or afflicted ones mean distant siblings, partings, and fragile partnerships, so you rely more on yourself. It is also the key palace for whether a venture suits a co-founder.
Siblings Palace: when the stars are strong vs weak
Strong peer support, smooth partnerships, reliable friend circle.
Distant from siblings, fragile partnerships — must rely on self.
Which main star in the Siblings Palace means what?
The same palace reads very differently depending on which of the 14 main stars sits in it. Below is each main star's meaning in the Siblings Palace — tap any star for its full profile across all twelve palaces.
| Main star | Meaning in the Siblings Palace |
|---|---|
| Zi Wei | Zi Wei in the Siblings palace means there is a capable, high-status figure among your siblings or peers — and you often play the 'big brother/sister' role yourself, mixing with people of standing. The flip side: siblings each have strong opinions, so closeness can carry a little distance and quiet rivalry. |
| Tian Ji | Tian Ji in the Siblings palace sits in its own house — Tian Ji is the natural Lord of Siblings, so here it is well-placed. Your siblings and peers tend to be clever, quick-witted people who give good counsel, and you bond through sharp conversation and ideas that line up. But Tian Ji is changeable, so peer ties rotate with life's stages — your circle shifts often, yet a few true sounding-boards always stay. |
| Tai Yang | Tai Yang in the Siblings palace means one sibling is sunny, capable, and likes to lead — often a brother, since the Sun is masculine, a little sun within the family. Among peers and friends you tend to be the generous one who looks after everyone and holds the group together, giving much and keeping little score. The watch-out: you pour your heart into siblings and friends without always getting it back, so don't let warmth become a one-way burn. |
| Wu Qu | Wu Qu in the Siblings palace means your siblings or peers are capable, independent, money-savvy types who each stand on their own ability; you deal with one another bluntly, loyal but not given to warm words. With its lone-star nature, siblings may be few, or close yet kept at a slight distance. The soundest way to get along is clear accounts even between brothers — spell out money and joint ventures plainly, and the bond lasts longer. |
| Tian Tong | Tian Tong in the Siblings palace means warm, harmonious bonds with siblings and peers — little friction or rivalry; you get along like friends, tolerant and looking out for one another. You are usually the most good-tempered, least calculating one among your siblings. The catch is that the harmony is 'soft': everyone avoids conflict, so when a hard call is needed you tend to defer to each other, with no one stepping up to carry it. |
| Lian Zhen | Lian Zhen in the Siblings palace makes your bonds with siblings and peers intense — never lukewarm. They are either ride-or-die allies or strong-willed sparks that clash. Among them is usually someone with real character, talent, or an edge. You bond through loyalty and principle: when you click, they are comrades for life; when you fall out, it is clean and final, with little gray middle ground. |
| Tian Fu | Tian Fu in the Siblings palace means there is a steady, reliable, financially comfortable figure among your siblings or peers, with harmonious, low-conflict relationships and mutual backing when it counts. You're often the one in the group who manages the money, handles logistics, and steadies the room. The way to keep it healthy: clear accounts between close kin — keep affection and money separate, and the bond lasts. |
| Tai Yin | Tai Yin in the Siblings palace means tender, fine-grained bonds with your siblings — especially sisters — quietly supporting one another; you are usually the listener, the carer of the group. Help among peers tends to be private and both emotional and practical (a place to stay, warm company, a hand when it counts) rather than loud camaraderie. Your mother's influence often shows through this palace too. |
| Tan Lang | Tan Lang in the Siblings palace means your siblings and peers tend to be sociable, fun-loving, and good at working a room — your circle runs wide and lively. You're often the one who connects everyone and keeps the good times rolling. But the Wolf is the desire star: each sibling chases their own appetites and agendas, so beneath the warmth, watch how shared interests — or shared pleasures — quietly shift who's close and who's not. |
| Ju Men | Ju Men in the Siblings palace means lots of talk and lots of friction with siblings and peers — everyone has opinions, so disagreements turn into bickering and debate, closeness carrying a competitive edge. A sibling may be a gifted talker who lives by words. With the dark star here, the real danger is unspoken grievances quietly piling up: saying it plainly wounds less than letting it fester. You are often the one in the group who dares to speak the truth, even when it isn't welcome. |
| Tian Xiang | Tian Xiang in the Siblings palace means siblings and peers tend to be decent, dependable, and fair — you treat each other courteously and help one another, with little open rivalry. You're often the 'peacemaker' and go-between among siblings and friends; people bring their disputes to you to mediate. Your circle has standing, but you can swallow your own grievances to keep the peace. |
| Tian Liang | Tian Liang in the Siblings palace means there is an elder-like figure among your siblings or peers — if not the oldest, then the most mature and dependable; and often that anchor is you, the one who shields siblings and settles their disputes. The bond runs on care and support, but you give a lot and manage a lot, so closeness carries a faintly parental distance and the odd lecture. |
| Qi Sha | Qi Sha in the Siblings palace means your siblings and peers are each strong and independent, mostly going their own way — bonds run cooler, gatherings are few, and there is often one hard-charging fighter among them. This palace also covers partnerships: your partners have nerve and can take a hard fight, but two strong heads spark easily. Set out duties and turf clearly before you team up, or two generals will simply refuse to yield to each other. |
| Po Jun | Po Jun in the Siblings palace means ties with siblings and peers run intense but unsettled — 'together little, apart much'. You may scatter in different directions, or cycle through fallings-out and reconciliations. Siblings tend to be strong-willed and headstrong, rarely a steady backstop. The peers who truly stand with you are fellow adventurers, not safe anchors — better to co-create something new with them than to co-guard the old. |
