Qi Sha in the Parents Palace
Qi Sha is the general star, ruling over solitude, decisiveness and risk-taking; its transformed energy is Severity. In the Life Palace it brings firmness and resolve, suited to the military, police or entrepreneurship.
Summary
Qi Sha in the Parents Palace shows a thin bond with your parents: you are self-reliant from childhood and leave home early; the book speaks of early harm and leaving the ancestors. With Zi Wei plus auspicious stars there is no harm, while Qing Yang, Tuo Luo, Huo Xing, Ling Xing, Di Kong or Di Jie bring shortfalls in parents' health or care. Wu Qu means strict upbringing; Lian Zhen thins the bond unless Tian Fu shares the palace. You tend to clash with superiors; the big lesson is learning to bow your head.

Core reading
With Qi Sha in the Parents Palace, your relationship with your parents is rather distant; you become independent early and support yourself, and "I haven't relied on my parents since I was little" is a common self-description. The book says plainly that Qi Sha in the Parents Palace brings "harm and early departure from the ancestral home; the six relations and blood kin are solitary," which in plain language means: the bond with your parents is thin, you leave home very early, and relatives see each other rarely. But the same entry leaves some room: sharing a palace with Zi Wei plus auspicious stars, it's "no harm," meaning that kind of mutual obstruction doesn't arise; if Qing Yang, Tuo Luo, Huo Xing, Ling Xing, Di Kong or Di Jie are met, the parents are "incomplete," meaning there are shortcomings in their health or care — be extra mindful there. With bosses you also lean tough, easily clashing with superiors and those in charge — the "won't bow" workplace type; take the initiative to show some softness and learn to reconcile. This palace's biggest homework is "learning to bow your head"; toughing it out only narrows your road.

When sharing the palace with Zi Wei · 740 sample charts
With Zi Wei in the Parents Palace, the old book says "Zi Wei, no harm": your bond with your parents is not thin, and they are respected and reliable.
For Zi Wei in the Parents Palace, the old book gives only two words, "no harm," meaning your bond with your parents is unlikely to suffer harm or early separation; sharing a palace with Tian Fu, Tian Xiang or Tan Lang without malefic stars added likewise brings no such harm — this is the most important point for this palace. Your parents often have status or a strong presence and high expectations of their children; your dealings with bosses and elders also always carry a hint of hierarchy, so it's best to show some respect in your attitude. If Qing Yang, Tuo Luo, Huo Xing, Ling Xing, Di Kong or Di Jie are added, the bond is diminished and easily grows distant; sharing a palace with Po Jun, this distance comes even earlier.
