What this palace is for
It describes how you enter a group, and whether that group holds you up or spends you.
An auspicious star is not a list of patrons. The star only states the condition of the network cell.
How to find it on a chart
Once the Life Palace is set, this site lays the names around the branch ring in this order: Life, Siblings, Spouse, Children, Wealth, Health, Travel, Friends, Career, Property, Fortune, Parents, and back to Life. The branch cells stay put. The names move. Friends comes after Travel. Siblings sits opposite.
The sidebar says “friends and network” so the domain is clear. The name printed on the chart remains Friends or Servants.
How to read it
See whether the stars gather in this palace or scatter. An empty palace borrows the Siblings major star and says so.
Children and Parents are the trine. The network, what you bring forth, and elders often need to be read together, or Friends becomes an address book.
Which palaces to read with it
Siblings, opposite, is the nearer cooperation. Children and Parents are the project and the elders. The four cells together are “how people gather beside you”.
Career is not in this set. A workplace role moves to the Career Palace.
One sentence that stays on structure
“Friends holds this star, so the network gathers or scatters; Siblings, opposite, is the nearer cooperation; Children and Parents are the project and the elders.”
Do not rewrite that into a named person introducing a deal.
Common mistakes
- Naming specific friends from this palace.
- Turning an auspicious star into a guaranteed patron.
- Inferring a master-servant relationship from the older name.

Open tool →Frequently asked questions
Are Servants and Friends two palaces?
No. They are two traditional names for one cell. The sidebar says friends and network so the domain is plain.
Can this palace score the quality of a network?
It has no score. It only shows the conditions described by the stars and the trine.
Is it a duplicate of Siblings?
No. They face each other: one is nearer, one is the network. Read both. Do not pick one.
