Sun in the Travel palace – meaning in a Purple Star chart

· Sun in the Travel palace — yang energy shelters you when going out, and you mostly gain public resources.

· Sun in Temple in the Travel palace — you shine in other places, with fame and gain both complete.

· Sun Fallen in the Travel palace — going out is toilsome with little result, so change your environment.

· Complete Book, Volume 1, section “What the Sun governs”: “In the Travel palace, your fortune differs from that of the Body and Life palaces; it is hard to rely on the family inheritance. You pull up your roots and change your leaves, leaving the ancestral home to build a household of your own.”

· Complete Book, Volume 2, section on the Travel palace: “The Sun should go out for fortune to blossom and cannot bear sitting still guarding the home; with the Moon, going out is busy but good; with the Great Gate, you wear out your mind; adding the Ram Blade, Hindrance, Fire Star, Bell Star, Earth Void and Earth Robbery, your body and mind find no leisure abroad.”

With Sun in the Travel palace, the old books say “it is best to go out and develop blessings, and you cannot bear to sit still and guard”, meaning blessings come from going out, while sitting still and not moving ties yourself down; volume one also says of this palace “hard to receive the ancestral estate, moving the root and changing the leaf, leaving the clan to set up a home”, meaning the ancestors' livelihood does not reach your hands and you must leave your old home to set up your own household. You have noble helpers outside, and a name made elsewhere is easy to build, suiting public affairs or fields with constant social contact. If Ram Blade, Hindrance, Fire Star, Bell Star, Earth Void and Earth Robbery are added, the old books say “outside, neither body nor heart is at leisure”, meaning a person who is outside with neither body nor heart free.
