The Wealth Palace, Cai Bo Gong, reads income, spending, saving and the general character of a native's relationship to money as it moves through a life, a domain the tradition deliberately keeps separate from the Property Palace's own reading of fixed holdings such as land, housing and other lasting assets, liquid fortune and settled fortune treated as genuinely different questions rather than one broad category of wealth.
A star such as Wu Qu, read elsewhere for discipline and effort based wealth, falling here is treated as favouring steady accumulation through sustained work, while Tan Lang's presence suggests fortune that comes and goes with the same appetite driven versatility the star carries in its other readings, sudden gain matched by an equally real risk of sudden loss. The palace's reading is consulted, per the tradition's ordinary practice, alongside a native's Career Palace, since income in most lives flows directly from professional activity, though the two palaces are kept formally distinct because the tradition treats how money is handled once earned as a separate question from how it is earned in the first place, a native might read strongly in Career yet weakly in Wealth if the chart suggests professional success poorly converted into lasting financial security.
