People with Lian Zhen and Po Jun in the Virtue Palace have an inner fire, dislike settling and always want to renew themselves and life; yet when drive is fierce and no buffer is kept, they strain themselves in inner friction and repeated overturning.
What This Question Is Really Asking
The question is the inner state with Lian Zhen and Po Jun in the Virtue Palace. Understand the palace reads the mind, then see how discipline and change combine so one keeps drive without straining.
The Underlying Logic
Lian Zhen in the Virtue Palace makes the mind rule-minded, disciplined and goal-driven, yet can be held back by rules and self-requirements.
Po Jun there gives change in the mind, daring to break and rebuild and succeeding after breaking, yet can bring inner friction, change and wanting to start over.
Together they mean discipline plus change: with Lu, Quan, Ke and auspicious stars under planning drive becomes growth; with malefics and Ji, pressure from tension, repetition or worry follows.
The lesson is breaking with a buffer and rebuilding with rhythm: advance change in nodes and leave an outlet for rest and emotion.

- First confirm Lian Zhen and Po Jun share the Virtue Palace and check their brightness
- Advance change and self-renewal in nodes rather than overturning all at once
- Leave an outlet for rest and emotion to avoid mental tension
- Practice accepting the present, turning inner friction into concrete action
- Cultivate interests unrelated to goals to give the mind a buffer
- With the decade and year, see the stages of mood change and activation
