Five Elements Spirit Perspective
| Spirit of the Point | Official Residence is about someone residing in themselves, having that home. It gives a home to the Official of transformation and transportation, a place that supports its work, where exchanges can happen peacefully. It can bring a restless person who is always looking outward back to a calm, centered ease. As the home that stabilizes the Spleen, it concerns being a person in one's own right rather than living through others. A storehouse and treasury, a seat of authority and importance, it brings the spirit home to receive nourishment. |
