Tai Yin is the moon of the chart: receptivity, care, intuition, and the slow accrual of wealth and property. It rules maternal figures and the inner world.
Ask which star rules wealth and everyone says Wu Qu — but Wu Qu earns while Tai Yin accumulates. Savings, property, compounding: the moon is the quiet wealth engine.
