The twelve palaces

The Friends Palace: networks and teams

The Friends palace speaks to networks, teams and the wider circle around you.

What it shows

Your friends, teams and network

A network needs tending and choosing; give your time to relationships where support runs both ways.

No palace is read alone. Read Friends together with the palace opposite it, Siblings, and the two that form its triangle, Parents and Children.

In teams and among friends people often rely on you to steady the room; sharing credit generously makes those ties stronger.

Friends value your perspective and come to you for ideas; you also need a few friends who catch your thoughts and nudge you to act.

You are often the first friend to show up and help; your warmth inspires others, and it is fine to decline some requests.

Friends trust you to keep your word; patience with slower or different people makes the group work better.

You are easy company and often the one who lightens the group; just do not shortchange yourself for the sake of peace.

Your presence is strong and friends are drawn to your charisma; a little more warmth softens your high standards.

You are the host who puts everyone at ease, and your circle is stable and long-lasting; meeting different kinds of people widens it.

You are an attentive listener and friends feel understood with you; you also need friends who can hold your feelings.

You have a wide and varied circle; investing in a few deep friendships means someone is there when you need them.

You dare to tell the truth and friends trust your judgment; said gently, the truth is easier to welcome.

You are popular among friends and often make introductions or mediate; watch out for saying yes to too many favours.

Friends in trouble come to you and you are their support; let them look after you sometimes too.

You are loyal to friends and admire people with nerve; a little more patience lets you befriend many kinds of people.

Your circle of friends tends to renew itself with each stage of life; treasure the old friends who stayed through the changes.

A question for you
