The twelve palaces
The Spouse Palace: intimate bonds
The Spouse palace describes how you love, commit and grow alongside another person.
What it shows
What you need and give in a close relationship
Worth keeping in mind
Friction in close relationships often comes from unspoken expectations; talking regularly about needs works better than guessing.
No palace is read alone. Read Spouse together with the palace opposite it, Career, and the two that form its triangle, Travel and Wellbeing.
