Friends Palace
交友 · jiāo yǒu
Overview
The Friends Palace (交友宮) describes the broader social circle — acquaintances, employees, subordinates, and community relationships. Where the Siblings Palace covers close peers, the Friends Palace covers a wider network. The stars here indicate whether the person attracts helpful connections or problematic ones, and how they manage relationships with people who depend on them. In business contexts, this palace is highly relevant for anyone managing teams or building a customer base.
