Overview
1. The Meaning
The Parents House in Zi Wei Dou Shu mainly shows your connection and relationship with your father or father figure — the person who guided, disciplined, and shaped your early life. It reveals how strong your bond is, whether there is harmony, respect, or distance between you and your father or elders.
2. Family Background and Upbringing
This house also reflects your family’s background, heritage, and social status. It can show if you were born into a wealthy, stable, or ordinary family, and how your parents’ reputation or values influence your life path.
3. Parental Support and Resources
Another key meaning of this house is the support and resources your parents provide. It tells whether your family gives you help in education, career, and finances—or if you need to rely more on yourself. A strong Parents House suggests helpful guidance and blessings from elders.
4. Physical Traits and Health Tendencies
Because it is linked to inheritance, this house can also show your appearance and genetic traits. You may inherit your parents’ looks, personality style, or certain health tendencies. For example, a strong or positive star here often means good constitution and vitality.
5. Relationship with Elders and Authority
Beyond family, this house also shows how you interact with older people, superiors, or authority figures in general. It reflects your attitude toward respect, obedience, and formality. It may also hint at how you handle official matters, such as dealing with documents, government rules, or legal issues.
Connections
1. The Parents House and The Health House (The Opposite
House)
The Health House sits opposite the Parents House, and together they reveal important details about your physical appearance, body structure, and overall health. When read along with your Life House, it gives a fuller picture of your inherited body condition and how your lifestyle affects your well-being. A balanced connection between these houses often means strong health and a stable appearance inherited from your family line.
2. The Parents House and The Friends House
The Friends House has an indirect link to the Parents House.
It represents your father’s circle of friends, social connections, and helpers,
as well as how he views your own friendships. It can show whether your father
prefers you to associate with certain kinds of people—trustworthy,
professional, or influential. It also gives hints about how much your family’s
network may influence your relationships or work connections later in life.
3. The Parents House and The Children House
The Children House is also related because it reflects the
elders’ attitudes toward the younger generation. Through this connection, it
shows how your parents raised you and how those experiences shape your own
parenting style in the future. If the energy here is harmonious, it suggests a
warm and supportive upbringing that helps you pass down care and discipline to
your children. But if it’s tense or conflicted, it may reveal emotional
distance or lessons you must heal before becoming a parent yourself.
Tips for Reading the Parents House
1. Parent–Child Bond
This section shows the emotional connection between you and your parents—how close, respectful, or distant the relationship is. Harmonious stars mean warmth, mutual support, and generosity. Challenging stars may suggest conflict, misunderstanding, or long periods of separation.
2. Relationship with Authority Figures
Beyond the family, the Parents House reflects your attitude toward superiors, bosses, and authority figures. It shows whether you respect leadership or prefer independence. It can also reveal your experiences dealing with government offices or official systems.
3. Education, Documents, and Legal Affairs
This palace governs formal documents, exams, certificates, contracts, and legal papers. If auspicious stars are present, official matters go smoothly—such as approvals, licenses, or academic recognition. Challenging stars may bring paperwork delays or misunderstandings in official dealings.
4. Finances and Family Ventures
The Parents House also connects to family-related finances—like inheritance, loans, or joint family businesses. It shows whether you can gain material support from family or face financial burdens connected to relatives.
5. Marriage Dynamics and Inheritance
In some cases, this house reveals inheritance disputes, dowry concerns, or tension with in-laws after marriage. It may also hint at how you or your spouse handle family property and shared responsibilities.
6. External Growth and Relocation
Finally, this house shows whether moving away from home will
help or hinder your success. A well-supported Parents House often means you can
thrive independently while still receiving blessings from your family, while a
troubled one may suggest that distance is needed to create your own fortune.
