The twelve palaces

Career palace 官禄

The Career palace is your relationship with work: vocation, ambition, and the role you default to in a professional system.

官禄 (Career palace) describes work style and vocation: what kind of role fits, how you handle authority and ambition, and what you are willing to trade for status.

It is not a job title prediction. A strong palace often means clear professional identity; a tense one can mean friction with hierarchies or a mismatch between ambition and role.

Strengths

  • Professional identity
  • Ambition with direction

Watch for

  • Workaholism
  • Status over fit

Work

  • Any — the palace shapes style, not sector
  • Roles that reward professional identity

Relationships

Work bleeds into relationships here; the palace shows what work costs the people around you.

Questions

Does it say what job I should do?

No. It describes working style and fit, not a specific title.

What if it is empty?

Career identity is more situational; read the Life palace and opposite palace.
