Wuqu and Pojun in Si/Hai Life Palace

Metal generates water, sitting in a four-horse place: life has much relocation

Wuqu and Pojun in Si/Hai Life Palace: opposite is Tianxiang, Career is Ziwei and Tanlang, Wealth is Lianzhen and Qisha. Wuqu belongs to metal, Pojun to water; metal generates water, so Pojun’s turbulence is stronger; Si/Hai are also four-horse places, governing running, so life has much change and settling is hard. Wuqu looks at the present, is decisive, and has plenty of fight; Pojun is a draining star, likes to take the lead, opening the road by breaking. Both are hard, both dare to take risks, decide at speed, success and failure often in a single night, large rise and large fall. Nature is hard, with a streak of rebellion, liking to take the present apart and rebuild. Lu must be seen: only Lu can adjust the self under pressure and limits, so pioneering is possible in both favourable and adverse times. Military posts fit best; in turmoil they can instead get things done; leaving home early is suitable. Career Ziwei and Tanlang have strategy and can lead, suited to high-change development or daily consumer goods, yet not to opening a large company of one’s own. Wealth Lianzhen and Qisha is accumulated wealth: they can save, they cannot manage. The stars sit weak, so getting ahead by rank is hard; winning by talent and profession fits.

Teacher Ming's reading: Wuqu and Pojun in Si/Hai Life Palace

Do not treat Wuqu and Pojun as sure to start a business. I read metal generating water sitting in a horse place as a life of much relocation, success and failure often in a single night. Only Lu can adjust the self under pressure. Military posts fit best; in turmoil they can instead get things done; leaving home early is suitable; opening a large company of one’s own does not fit—employment or sole trading is more stable.

Wu, Ji, and Ren years share much the same point—only Lu can move, and Hua Ji can also reverse and turn auspicious. If your year is not listed, do not worry—first understand this star group's temperament.

Wuqu and Pojun in Si versus Hai

Wealth Lianzhen and Qisha: can save, cannot manage

Wealth Lianzhen and Qisha: money is earned in noise and bustle. In Wei this group is called 雄宿乾元格 (Xiong Su Qian Yuan Pattern): fire refining metal; meeting Lu can be rich, hardship in early years, sufficiency only in mid-to-late life. Chou’s money road is less smooth than Wei’s; meeting Lu can still be rich. This group is accumulated wealth: they can save, they cannot manage; supporting auspicious stars are needed before they will manage money. Meeting malefics, setbacks are large and they cannot keep it.

Career has strategy, suited to being a development pioneer

Career Ziwei and Tanlang: strategy and ambition, able to lead and open a new situation, suited to high-change work. Consumer goods are most on the mark: food, clothes, shoes, phones, cleaning products; or accessories, garments, phone cases, taking the artistic-creation line. Life is turbulent, so opening a large company of one’s own does not fit; employment, sole trading, or freelance is more stable.

Metal generates water: life has much turbulence and change

Wuqu metal generating Pojun water: the force of turbulence and change is stronger, sitting also in a four-horse place, so life has much relocation. Handling is decisive, fight is plenty; Pojun likes to take the lead. Both are hard, both dare to take risks, the swing of success and failure extremely large.

Hard and rebellious; whether they can adapt to change matters most

Nature is hard, with a streak of rebellion, pioneering force very strong, liking to take the present apart and rebuild, competitive. Inside the strength sits “as long as I like it, why not.” Lu must be seen: only Lu can adjust the self under pressure, so pioneering is possible in both favourable and adverse times. Military posts fit; leaving home early, building from nothing is possible: hardship in childhood, success only after mid-life.

Learning points: Wuqu and Pojun in Si/Hai Life Palace

1. Most fear meeting Hua Ji again: rebellion thickens: meeting Lianzhen Hua Ji again, rebellion is heavier, fate is rough through life, and when luck walks Fortune a large disaster is more likely. Tanlang Hua Ji: Life must meet Pojun Hua Lu, only career is unsatisfactory and competition is more. Wuqu Hua Ji: Career Ziwei must Hua Quan—a reversed chart, hardship yet able to succeed.
2. No support and meeting malefics: easy to bring trouble on oneself: no support, no auspicious transformation, yet meeting Qingyang, Tuoluo, Huoxing, Lingxing, Dikong, and Dijie—especially Dikong and Dijie sitting into Life—the native likes to decide alone and go against the current, easily drawing blows.
3. No auspicious transformation, yet with support, adaptability remains: no auspicious transformation, also no malefics and Ji, and supporting auspicious stars meeting: the native still has adaptability, can still seek survival in turbulence, only achievement is not as large as with auspicious transformation.
4. Wealth star and draining star sharing: likes to show off, business does not fit: Wuqu is a wealth star, Pojun a draining star: the native likes to spend and show off, has no concept of money, and money easily breaks. Business does not fit; living by a craft is suitable, and turbulence will be smaller.
5. Dislikes Wenchang and Wenqu sharing: becomes 寒士格 (Cold Scholar Pattern): Wenchang and Wenqu sharing is called 寒士格 (Cold Scholar Pattern), often feeling talent unmet, suited to living by a craft. Especially Hai is a water place; meeting Wenqu Hua Ji again, a large setback is easy. Classic texts say 與文曲入於水域，殘疾離鄉 (entering water with Wenqu: disability and leaving home).
6. Stars sit weak: win by talent and profession: in these two palaces Si/Hai, Wuqu and Pojun’s force is on the weak side, getting ahead by rank is hard, and the combination is comparatively at a disadvantage. Put effort into creation and personal talent, win by profession, and money can outrun name.
