The Wolf (Tan Lang, 贪狼) in the Property palace (Tian Zhai, 田宅)

What the classic says, Zi Wei Dou Shu Quan Shu (紫微斗数全书), volume two

Badly placed, the inheritance recedes and land is scarce lifelong. Well placed, an inheritance — though it goes, and is not replaced by your own. With the Mystic (廉贞), no share; with the Emperor star (紫微), an inheritance; with the Iron (武曲), acquired late. Meeting Fire (火) or the Ember (铃), the inheritance is kept and more built — but beware fire in the house.

贪狼陷宫退祖一世田少，庙旺有祖业，也去中未自有置，廉贞同无分，紫微同有祖业，武曲同晚置，见火铃星守祖业，有自创，但恐火焚屋宅。

“Well placed” and “badly placed” refer to the star’s brightness in the branch the palace falls on: the same star in the same palace reads differently bright and dim, and the clause says how.

And in the chapter of questions on the stars (Zhu Xing Wen Da Lun, 諸星問答論)

the inherited estate dissipates — rich first, poor after

在田宅則破蕩祖業，先富後貧

How this placement actually turns up

• Well placed (exalted or strong) in 49% of those charts, badly placed (fallen) in 17%, in between the rest.
• Alone in the palace in 50%; sharing it with The Emperor (紫微) 17%, The Mystic (廉贞) 17%, The Iron (武曲) 16%.
• Carries a birth-year transformation in 31%: Fortune (化禄) 10%, Power (化权) 12%, Trouble (化忌) 10%.
• How often the conditions the classic’s line names actually occur — one of the four difficult stars (擎羊陀罗火星铃星) in the palace with it: 31%; one of the six helper stars (左辅右弼文昌文曲天魁天钺) with it: 40%.

Counted by casting every day from 1950 to 2009 at each of the twelve hours — 262,980 charts, 8.3% of which have The Wolf here (every main star sits in every palace in about one chart in twelve). A count, not a reading.
