Qisha in Zi/Wu Life Palace: Strengths & Risks

Wu Palace better than Zi; with noblemen covering, it is steadier

Qisha in Zi/Wu in the Life Palace sits alone in Life; opposite is Wuqu Tianfu, Wealth Palace is Tanlang, Career Palace is Pojun. Qisha is like a general: fast in action, strong in decision, can take a sector alone, growing braver through setbacks. Sitting as a single star, the personality is even more direct, guts even more sufficient; with auspicious stars helping, showing is very clear. Old books say when Qisha reaches Zi/Wu there is still a little protection: in Zi Palace the two wealth stars opposite pull hardness back, so the person is more willing to yield, and more likely to meet noblemen and friends. Career Palace Pojun falls in Chen/Xu, as if caught in a net: they must rely on others’ money and position to start a house. It is a little harder, yet great storms are fewer. They most like seeing Tiankui Tianyue; a pull from elders is very useful. Wu Palace is better than Zi: Wu fire can refine Qisha’s metal; with auspicious stars it becomes 雄宿乾元格 (Xiongxu Qianyuan, Hero Lodging at Qian Yuan)—guts and career both open more. Zi Palace has too much water; the person easily hesitates; add sha stars and they lose their footing going forward or back, and temper is also hard to catch.

Teacher Ming's reading: Qisha in Zi/Wu in the Life Palace

Students, do not first take Qisha as a very fierce star. I think Qisha in Zi/Wu: the person is fast, can take a sector alone, yet this Career line often cannot be first-in-command. Old books speak of 蔭庇餘氣 lingering protection. In plain words: this chart’s road mostly has to borrow the force of noblemen, platforms, and friends—not a straight hard charge.

Jia, Ding, and Ji years: the point is much the same—Lu tethers the stubborn temper, and money and career go a little smoother. Years not listed here need not panic—first get this star group's temperament.

Differences between Qisha in Zi and in Wu

Wu Palace can form Xiongxu Qianyuan; Zi meeting sha easily sways

Qisha belongs to metal; Wu Palace’s fire can refine it. With auspicious stars it is called 雄宿乾元格 (Xiongxu Qianyuan, Hero Lodging at Qian Yuan); guts and career both open more. Zi Palace has much water; the person easily cannot make up their mind. Add sha stars, and obstinacy and hesitation rise together; going forward or back is hard, and disaster and illness come more easily.

Zi/Wu has lingering protection: they must borrow others’ position to start a house

Opposite Zi Palace are Wuqu Tianfu, two wealth stars; hardness is pulled back, they understand advance and retreat better, and more often have noblemen and friends helping. Career Palace Pojun falls in the Luo net: they cannot be first-in-command, must borrow others’ money and position. Though toilsome, great rises and falls are actually fewer.

Qisha likes sitting alone: guts enough, personality direct

Qisha is a general star: both brave and planned, not afraid of hardship. In Zi/Wu sitting as a single star, qi is purer, guts thicker. With auspicious stars in the same palace or shining toward it, achievement is clearer than ordinary people, and they more readily start from scratch.

Learning points: Qisha in Zi/Wu in the Life Palace

1. No auspicious stars does not mean no showing: most stars on the sanfang sit bright. As long as sha stars are few, career can still be built—only with more twists. Many sha stars and no auspicious stars: live by one specialty; do not force opening a company and charging hard.
2. With Lu, Zuofu Youbi, and Tiankui Tianyue, business is smoother: the two opposite are both wealth stars; add Lu, favorable for commerce. With Zuofu Youbi the field is larger; with Tiankui Tianyue, elder noblemen are more willing to pull them up.
3. Opposite are wealth stars: suited to developing away from home: Travel Palace is Wuqu Tianfu. When there are auspicious stars, leaving the hometown it is easier to meet money and helpers. Always staying in place, that bit of lingering protection does not come out much.
4. Most needs Lu to hold in the stubborn temper: Qisha’s strength is speed and sharpness; its weakness is being too hard—both success and failure are large. It most likes Lucun or Hua Lu shining toward it. With Lu tethering, they are more willing to compromise, and will not charge hard until they snap.
5. Most fears Qingyang and Tianxing sitting with Qisha: the clashing nature is heaviest. Bing years: Qingyang in Wu, Fortune Palace Lianzhen also Hua Ji. Ren years: Qingyang in Zi, Travel Wuqu Hua Ji. The person becomes more impulsive, more fond of bravado, not settled enough.

Teacher Ming's reading: how to read this Qisha in Zi/Wu chart

Let me wrap this article up. Qisha in Zi/Wu sitting alone: guts enough, personality direct; opposite are wealth stars, suited to going out and doing business. With auspicious stars it can form Xiongxu Qianyuan; it most fears Qingyang and Tianxing sitting together—the person becomes more impulsive. Jia, Ding, and Ji years have Lu, so temper can be held in.

I think students need only remember three sentences. First, with Lu it is steady. Second, this chart must borrow force—do not charge hard. Third, both success and failure are large; yield one step, and noblemen can come in.
