Two ways this reads
A star is not simply present or absent in a chart. It has a brightness, fixed by which of the twelve earthly branches its palace falls on. This is the part generic descriptions leave out — and it is the part that decides whether your wealth palace runs in your favour or quietly against it.
You go at money the way you go at everything, and it works — the income is high. It leaves at the same speed. Large in, large out.
Losses, and disputes about money. It settles in middle age, not before.
Which of the two is yours is not a matter of opinion — it falls out of the branch your wealth palace sits on, which comes from your birth hour.
All twelve palaces come out of your birth hour, brightness included. Takes about thirty seconds. No account, no email.

七杀 Qi Sha in the other palaces
When 七杀 sits in the Life Palace
Alone, or paired with another major star — the pairing changes the reading.
Star attributes and the exalted/fallen readings follow the classical Zi Wei Dou Shu tradition. Last revised 2026-08-07.
