武曲官禄

Wǔ Qū in Guān Lù — also called the Officials palace

Purple Star editorial · Reviewed

The General (武曲 Wǔ Qū) in the Career palace (官禄, the Officials palace) — career, ambition, public achievement: The General is a born financial and executive type: finance, accounting, the forces, engineering, construction, running a business.

The Career palace governs your working life, ambition and public standing. A star here points to the field and the manner in which you are meant to build.

What it means

In the Career palace the General is a born financial and executive type: finance, accounting, the forces, engineering, construction, running a business. Drive and willpower are your great advantages, and you excel at opening ground where it is hard going. Hua Power puts you at the top of your own enterprise; Hua Prosperity floods both career and money; Hua Merit brings professional renown.

The shadow side

Under Hua Ji the workplace is stormy — guard against legal trouble and sudden upheaval on the job.

The Four Transformations (四化) — Flow, Power, Merit and Obstacle — can sharpen or soften any of this depending on your exact birth year. Your own chart shows which are active.

From the classics

「武曲独守，富而不贵」

Wu Qu standing alone brings wealth without rank — money comes readily, but status must be earned by other means.
