The General in the Friends palace
武曲仆役Wǔ Qū in Pú Yì — also called the Servants palace
Purple Star editorial · Reviewed
The General (武曲 Wǔ Qū) in the Friends palace (仆役, the Servants palace) — friends, networks, subordinates: Ties are practical and direct, organised around interest and cooperation more than deep feeling; subordinates are capable and get things done.
The Friends palace covers your wider circle — friends, networks and the people who work under you. A star here describes the company you keep and how it serves you.
What it means
In the Friends palace ties are practical and direct, organised around interest and cooperation more than deep feeling; subordinates are capable and get things done. With Hua Prosperity, friends become a source of financial resource.
The shadow side
Under Hua Ji a friend can turn adversary and a partnership can end in financial dispute — sign clear agreements before you commit.
The Four Transformations四化 Si Hua — four stars in your chart receive a special charge from your birth-year stem: Flow 禄 (ease), Power 权 (control), Merit 科 (recognition), Obstacle 忌 (friction). (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.
