What it means
In the Marriage palace your spouse is forceful and decisive, intense in feeling, and the marriage carries plenty of conflict and tug-of-war. It asks for real patience and tolerance, and enough space for each of you to move. If a favourable transformation reaches the triad, two strong people can instead join into a formidable pair.
The shadow side
Both must learn to give a step; without it the household fills with argument and peace is hard to keep.
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.
