Siblings Palace
The Siblings Palace is peers and cooperation: who reaches first, and where the boundary sits. It does not name a person or count siblings.

What this palace is for
This palace is closer than Friends and less about partnership than Spouse. It describes whether cooperation saves effort or turns into a contest.
Tradition sometimes places peer ventures and classmates here. That is an extension of the domain, not a second calculation.
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. Siblings is the cell after Life.
Friends sits opposite. If the Life Palace cannot be set because the hour is missing, the Siblings Palace cannot be guessed either.
How to read it
Start with the major star in Siblings itself. An empty palace borrows the major star in Friends, and the sentence should say so.
When an auxiliary or a sha star shares the cell, name the cooperation the major star is about, then where the sha star catches it. Do not open with the sha star.
Which palaces to read with it
Health and Property are the trine. Friends is the opposite. Near cooperation, strain, housing, and the wider network are this set.
Do not fold Siblings and Spouse into “all relationships”. The domains differ.
One sentence that stays on structure
“Siblings holds this star, so the sentence is about how peer cooperation starts; Friends, opposite, is the wider network; Health and Property in the trine show whether strain and a place to settle are pulled in.”
The sentence does not produce a headcount of siblings or a partner’s name.
Common mistakes
- Using the Siblings Palace to predict how many siblings someone has.
- Turning it into a partnership contract or an equity split.
- Forgetting to say that an empty palace borrowed its star from Friends.

Open tool →Frequently asked questions
Does an only child still read the Siblings Palace?
Yes. The palace is a pattern of peers and cooperation. It does not depend on having siblings.
How is Siblings different from Friends?
Siblings is nearer. Friends is the network. They face each other, so read them against one another. Neither replaces the other.
Can this palace choose a business partner?
No. It only describes the conditions of cooperation. Choosing a person goes back to that person and the actual agreement.
