What it means

Parents (Fu Mu) are those that generate me. They represent documents, houses, elders, and protection spirits. In divination concerning parents, elders, heaven and earth, cities, houses, boats, vehicles, clothing, documents, and contracts, the Parents line is the use god. Parents can be auspicious or inauspicious: in matters of fame and documents, strength is favorable; in matters of children or illness, their movement is feared, hence the saying 'When the Parents line moves, it restricts the Children line.' Judgment depends on the matter being divined: strong Parents bring good documents and houses; empty or broken Parents indicate weak protection.
