The Warrior in the Friends palace
七杀仆役Qī Shā in Pú Yì — also called the Servants palace
Purple Star editorial · Reviewed
The Warrior (七杀 Qī Shā) in the Friends palace (仆役, the Servants palace) — friends, networks, subordinates: Your friends are few but choice — mostly fellow strong, independent doers — and subordinates get things done, if at some emotional distance.
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 your friends are few but choice — mostly fellow strong, independent doers — and subordinates get things done, if at some emotional distance. What friends give is the camaraderie of shoulder-to-shoulder battle, not tender support.
The shadow side
Under Hua Ji, friendships break over forceful clashes — and going it alone actually feels freer.
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
「七杀临身终不美，多败少成」
When Qi Sha sits on the self the road is never easy — more setbacks than victories; whatever it wins, it wins by force of will.
