Direct answer

坎 Palace is the 水 family containing 坎為水、水澤節、水雷屯、水火既濟、澤火革、雷火豐、地火明夷、地水師. Its eight positions run from the pure hexagram through five generations to Wandering Soul and Returning Soul, with a fixed Shi–Ying progression and a separate six-line Najia chart for every member.

Definitions and prerequisites

Start from the doubled 坎 trigram and its 水 palace element. Use the fixed Eight-Palace line-flip walk and verify all eight identities before deriving any member’s Six Relatives.

Method or reference rule

Verify the sequence in order: 坎為水、水澤節、水雷屯、水火既濟、澤火革、雷火豐、地火明夷、地水師. Apply generation positions pure, first, second, third, fourth, fifth, Wandering Soul, Returning Soul and Shi positions 6, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3.

Worked example

坎為水 is the pure member with Shi on line 6. 地火明夷 is Wandering Soul with Shi on line 4, and 地水師 is Returning Soul with Shi on line 3; Ying stays three lines opposite.

Closest failure case

Treating 坎 Palace 水 as the element of every member line is incorrect. The palace element is the Six-Relative reference; each line keeps the element of its own Najia branch.

Sources, interpretation and limits

坎 Palace is a classification and relation baseline. Its element and generation names do not make every member favorable, unfavorable, wandering, or returning in ordinary life; an outcome needs a complete dated cast and external evidence.

Historical and academic records support the named chart taxonomy. Exact table output here follows the versioned OpenFate product contract and is not presented as universal school agreement.

Verification checklist

Save the question, cast time, timezone, face convention, six line values, source edition and product version whenever they can change the result.

  • Reproduce the six stored line values before interpretation.
  • Name the method, edition and product settings used.
  • Cite the decisive chart facts instead of one dramatic label.
  • Use observable records and qualified advice for high-stakes decisions.
