Fortune Palace (福德宫)

A demanding inner life. Contentment is harder for this placement than achievement, because the standard is internal and rises with every success.

The most active inner life in the system — ideas, plans and scenarios running continuously. Peace here requires deliberate practice, because it does not arrive on its own.

An inner life that needs recognition to feel settled. The work for this placement is learning to be content in private, because the audience is not always there.

Inner life is practical and somewhat austere. Contentment comes from achievement rather than from pleasure, which works until the achievements stop arriving.

The strongest placement for genuine contentment in the system. What this star wants is ease, and it largely gets it — the growth for this chart is wanting something harder than ease.

A demanding and passionate inner life. Contentment is less the goal than intensity is — the growth is finding something worthy of the voltage.

An inner life that values order and sufficiency. Contentment is achievable here and comes from arrangement rather than from excitement.

A rich, reflective inner life with a tendency towards melancholy when it has no outlet. Making something out of the sensitivity is this placement's most reliable route to contentment.

A busy inner life with a persistent sense of something missing, which is the appetite rather than a fact about the life. Contentment for this placement is a choice made deliberately, not a state arrived at.

An active, questioning inner life that is prone to worry and occasionally to fixed ideas. The useful practice is directing the criticism outward as a product rather than inward as a habit.

An inner life that values balance, propriety and being held in reasonable regard. Contentment is reachable and mildly dependent on others' opinion of you.

A calm, generous inner life with a tendency to carry burdens that were not assigned. Contentment improves markedly when the rescuing is chosen rather than automatic.

An intense inner life under considerable pressure, requiring a real outlet — physical, professional or creative. Without one, this palace placement produces the irritable exhaustion of an unspent force.

Restless inner life requiring a mission to spend itself on. Contentment for this placement is nearly impossible in the absence of a project and surprisingly easy in its presence.
