Cái Bó

財帛 comes fifth in the count. Facing it is 福德, and it forms a triangle with 命宮 and 官祿. The body palace can settle on it. 卷二 puts this palace on both of its lists of strong palaces, the one for men and the one for women, and it is one of three palaces treated that way.

財 is money or goods and 帛 is silk, a pairing of two kinds of stored value. Three stars are named as its lords in the book's list of duties, 武曲, 天府 and 太陰, and the last two also hold the Property palace. Modern use reads this palace for income and attitudes to money, which goes further than anything in the section itself and is offered by this site only as a description of how the name is used.

The star entries grade plenty against scarcity and also say how money comes. They speak of wealth made by one's own hands (白手), of wealth won amid bustle and commotion (闹中), of gains through trade, and of money that comes in and goes out again. Timing appears too, with some combinations placing the gain after thirty years. These are the book's classifications, and the calculator attaches none of them to a chart. They are not financial advice, and a qualified adviser is the person to ask about money decisions.
