Qi Sha in the Fortune 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 Fortune Palace means spiritual satisfaction comes from independence and the achievement challenges bring; you dislike settled, mediocre states. In Temple you are content; Fallen and meeting malefics you are exhausted in body and mind with fierce inner conflict, so seek balance in stillness. Zuo Fu and You Bi bring like-minded companions. With Zi Wei you are blessed, though malefics thin it; with Wu Qu your inner life rests on material security and leans cold; with Lian Zhen blessings arise amid busyness.

Core reading
With Qi Sha in the Fortune Palace, your spiritual satisfaction comes from independence and the sense of achievement that challenges bring — a "level-up" style of life pleases you most; you dislike mediocre, settled states, and "panicking when life is too peaceful" is a true description. The book divides Qi Sha in this palace into two paths, in its words "Qi Sha in Temple, enjoying blessings; in a Fallen position adding Yang, Tuo, Huo or Ling, taxing the mind and exhausting strength": with Qi Sha in Temple, busy as you are, your heart is at peace; with Qi Sha Fallen and meeting Qing Yang, Tuo Luo, Huo Xing or Ling Xing, body and mind suffer together. When Volume 1 of the Complete Book discusses Qi Sha in general, it quotes the secret classic: "Qi Sha in a Fallen position, brooding, blessings do not arise," meaning that with Qi Sha Fallen, you easily ruminate and feel unhappy, and blessings can't come forth. Loneliness is the background color of such people's inner world; being able to live steadily alone is precisely Qi Sha's true nature in the Fortune Palace.
