Wealth Preservation

Wealth Preservation (祿存) is a noble star of the Northern Dipper, carrying Yang Earth energy that restrains and contains the flow of Water, symbolizing accumulation and protection. Its core nature is to preserve, stabilize, and increase existing resources, particularly wealth, rank, and longevity. Unlike stars that generate dynamic wealth, Wealth Preservation acts as a treasury or a strongbox, ensuring that gains are not lost and bestowing a sense of security and benevolence. It is considered a star of rescue, helping to alleviate difficulties, illness, and disasters, while also tempering romantic excesses from other stars.

In career and wealth, Wealth Preservation signifies stable income, inheritance, and the ability to safeguard assets. It favors roles in finance, treasury, or management where protection of resources is key. Its presence can mean the difference between fleeting riches and lasting prosperity. In relationships, its solitary nature may lead to a private or reserved social life, but its benevolent energy promotes charitable acts and a sense of responsibility towards family and community.

Its influence is strongest when placed in the Life, Body, or Heavenly Migration palaces, especially at the Rat (子) (Rat) and Horse (午) (Horse) positions where it indicates great accumulated wealth. Its protective nature can be compromised or its benefits delayed if it is opposed by the Breaker star or combined with unfavorable stars.
