Tian Tong and Tian Liang in the Travel Palace: Gentle and Mature Away From Home, Turning Rapport Into Development Elsewhere

The Travel Palace reads the external environment, development elsewhere and the state away from home. Tian Tong governs gentle service while Tian Liang governs principles and shelter, so together, when away or developing elsewhere, one has good rapport, maturity and steadiness, and is easily accepted and cared for, suiting service, education, consulting and professional work out of town. The risk is slackness, being preachy and weak drive, so the key is actively setting goals within the good rapport elsewhere, not treating comfort as a stopping point.

People with Tian Tong and Tian Liang in the Travel Palace often seem easy to get along with, mature and reliable away from home, easily accepted and helped elsewhere; yet when too comfortable, they can settle for the status quo elsewhere and lack pioneering.
