# Tian Liang (Elder Star) in the Property Palace (天梁在田宅宮)

Tian Liang (天梁) in the Property Palace (田宅宮) describes the sheltered house: old family property, homes that survive their scares, and an estate flavoured by elders, inheritance, and trees. The roof beam star holds up the literal roof.

The shelter star in the palace of home and holdings reads almost etymologically: Tian Liang is the roof beam, and here it frames the household. Classical readings favour established property over new, the estate that arrives by inheritance or an elder's provision rather than purchase alone, and the tradition's imagery furnishes the address with age and shade: mature trees, old neighbourhoods, proximity to schools, temples, hospitals, the institutions the star staffs. The covenant operates domestically: houses under this placement meet their storms and come through them, often improved, with the classics reading property trouble that resolves as this palace's signature rather than its failure. Elders inhabit the reading throughout: grandparents under the roof or the roof inherited from them, a home that shelters extended family as a matter of course, and the chart owner as eventual custodian of wherever the family gathers. The strains: custodianship's costs land here, old houses eat maintenance, sheltered relatives stay, and the texts advise the guardian to charge the estate honestly for its upkeep. Fallen (落陷), homes multiply or scatter, and settling takes deliberate effort.

## FAQ

### Should I keep the old family house, as Tian Liang in the Property Palace inclines me to?

The placement sides with keeping: classical readings favour established property, inheritance held honourably, and homes that survive their scares. Steward it on honest terms, budget real maintenance, agree the family's obligations in writing, and it serves as the estate's anchor. Sell only if the numbers, not the sentiment, have truly failed.
