Tian Tong (the Blessing)

Not interested in fighting anyone

You're even-tempered, easily satisfied, with little aggression toward anyone, and your life is lighter than most people's for it. You have a way of dissolving hardship — the same circumstances simply cost you less. But that lightness is also your problem: you avoid conflict and you avoid effortful things, and you've made 'never mind' into a universal solution. You can do anything, really; you just often don't want to move, and then cover it with 'I didn't want it that much'.

In the Self palace: where you move easily

• You don't hold grudges; you carry little emotional freight and your days run easier.
• You're easy to be with, and people want to stay near you.
• In a bad stretch your steadiness is genuine, not performed.

In the Self palace: what it tends to cost

• Your capacity to avoid the hard thing is so good you can't see yourself doing it.
• You pass off 'whatever' as easy-going; it's not wanting to own the consequences of choosing.
• You need pushing, and with nobody pushing you stay where you are.

In another palace

In another palace, that's where you'll settle for less — and where you'll most easily miss out.
