Siblings Palace
兄弟 · xiōng dì
Overview
The Siblings Palace (兄弟宮) covers horizontal relationships — siblings, close friends, business partners, and colleagues at the same level. The stars here indicate both the quality and quantity of these peer connections. A strong Siblings Palace suggests reliable allies; a troubled one may indicate sibling rivalry, partnership disputes, or difficulty maintaining peer relationships. In modern interpretation, this palace is particularly relevant for anyone considering business partnerships or joint ventures.
