Beginners tend to read only Wealth for money, only Spouse for love, only Career for work. But in reality, no one matter is determined by one palace. Your wealth isn't just Wealth palace — Life determines earning ability, Career determines where money comes from, Property determines savings, Fortune determines whether money makes you happy. The twelve palaces are a web, not boxes.
Palace relationships: first, triple direction — this palace plus trine and opposite palaces form a whole; second, adjacent palaces influence each other, e.g., Life/Siblings, Spouse/Children; third, palace overlap — cycle palaces overlay natal palaces; fourth, flying relationships — one palace's stem flying to another connects them. Reading one matter requires stringing relevant palaces together.
Which Palaces for Wealth
Life — do you have earning ability and drive.
Wealth — income style and cash flow.
Career — what work does money come from.
Property — can you save, fixed assets.
Fortune — your attitude toward money, happiness from it.
Travel — external or out-of-town income sources.
