In plain words
Wealth covers money habits; Health is the palace traditionally read for the body, and this app makes no health judgement of any kind; Travel covers going out and dealing with the wider world; Friends covers friends, colleagues and partners in work.
What the text says
Volume 2 lists the twelve palaces in order from the Life Palace. The text says wife and concubine, and servants; the app shows the Partner Palace and the Friends Palace. Those are modern wordings, not the original terms.
Compare with your own chart
Find these four on your chart. The Travel Palace sits directly across the centre from the Life Palace.
An everyday example
A work trip involves resources, adapting to surroundings and cooperation. Wealth, Travel and Friends offer different questions. The Health palace does not replace medical information.
Separate one situation into questions about resources, surroundings and cooperation.
