The Warrior in the Parents palace
七杀父母Qī Shā in Fù Mǔ
Purple Star editorial · Reviewed
The Warrior (七杀 Qī Shā) in the Parents palace (父母) — parents, elders, mentors and authority: Relations with parents are distant, with early independence and self-reliance; with bosses you are forceful and clash readily with authority.
The Parents palace covers parents, elders, mentors and figures of authority. A star here describes the shape of those relationships and how you fare under the people above you.
What it means
In the Parents palace relations with parents are distant, with early independence and self-reliance; with bosses you are forceful and clash readily with authority. It helps to bow first and learn to reconcile, softening the hard edge before superiors.
The shadow side
Under Hua Ji, conflict with parents or bosses intensifies — mind how you communicate with particular care.
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.
