Qi Sha in the Wealth Palace

With auspicious stars helping, you can make a big gain; money comes fast and goes fast.

With Zi Wei and Qi Sha in the Wealth Palace, the book says "with Qi Sha plus auspicious stars, wealth comes suddenly," meaning that when auspicious stars meet, a large sum can come in at once; if Qing Yang, Tuo Luo, Huo Xing, Ling Xing or Di Kong, Di Jie are added, wealth can't flourish and rises and falls. Master Ni says of Zi Wei and Qi Sha in the Wealth Palace, "in private enterprise, running one's own business"; in his example both Quan and Lu arrived, so "she won't settle for being under others; she'll go do her own business" 〔Ni Haixia, Heavenly Records episode 21, 04:02—04:22〕. Without Quan and Lu meeting, it speaks only of working in private enterprise. Qi Sha itself consumes strength; money comes fast and goes fast and isn't kept; you spend decisively and save little.

· Zi Wei in the Wealth Palace — Complete Book Volume 2, Wealth: "Zi Wei, granaries and chests full; adding Yang, Tuo, Huo, Ling, Kong or Jie, not prosperous" — in itself it signifies no lack of money and grain; only meeting malefics does it fail to flourish.

· Zi Wei with Fu and Bi in the Wealth Palace — Complete Book Volume 3: "Zi Wei with Fu and Bi, mostly officials of finance and taxation," speaking of positions managing money for others; managing money doesn't mean the money belongs to you.

· Questions and Answers on the Stars · Zi Wei: "If the Body and Life meet Lu Cun in the same palace, with Sun and Moon shining from the trine, the nobility is beyond words" (speaking of the Body and Life, not specifically the Wealth Palace)

· Complete Book of Zi Wei Dou Shu · Volume 1 · Supplemented Tai Wei Rhapsody: "The Life and Body meeting Zi and Fu, piling up gold and silver; the two masters meeting Jie and Kong, food and clothing insufficient." (★Collation 2026-09-05: the original citation 〔Zi Wei in the Wealth Palace meeting Kong and Jie, money comes and goes, hard to accumulate〕 could not be found after full-text verification against the Wikisource rare edition; replaced with the original text)

· Complete Book of Zi Wei Dou Shu · Volume 2 · Wealth, entry on Zi Wei: "Zi Wei, granaries and chests full; adding Yang, Tuo, Huo, Ling, Kong or Jie, not prosperous; with Po Jun, first hard then easy; with Tian Xiang, wealth accumulated"

Making money relies on hard fighting and competition; big inflows and outflows, not stable.

With Wu Qu and Qi Sha in the Wealth Palace, you take the self-made path. The Complete Book says Wu Qu meeting Qi Sha means "creating wealth from nothing and establishing a family," meaning building a family fortune empty-handed; money can't rely on the family's old savings and must be earned yourself. Master Ni says Qi Sha and Po Jun "govern depletion and govern toil" 〔Ni Haixia, Heavenly Records episode 7, 03:45〕 — money comes in and goes out again; the more comes in, the faster it scatters. Meeting Qing Yang, Tuo Luo, Huo Xing or Ling Xing, it's "not accumulating, most fearful of emptiness," meaning money gathers even less, and what it fears most is further meeting empty stars like Di Kong and Di Jie.

· Wu Qu in the Wealth Palace — the Complete Book calls wealth and property Wu Qu's "special domain"; whether it brings great wealth must still be checked point by point against Po Jun, Tan Lang, Qi Sha, Yang, Tuo, Kong and Jie in the same palace.

· Wu Qu meeting Kong and Jie — Volume 2, Wu Qu entry: "adding Yang, Tuo, Huo or Ling, it doesn't accumulate; it greatly fears emptiness."

· Complete Book of Zi Wei Dou Shu · Volume 2 · Wealth: "Wu Qu: ample; transforming auspiciously, a family fortune of millions; without auspicious stars, money comes amid turmoil" (★Collation 2026-09-05: the original citation 〔Wu Qu in the Wealth Palace signifies great wealth〕 could not be found after full-text verification against the Wikisource rare edition; replaced with the original text)

· Questions and Answers on the Stars · Wu Qu: "Wu Qu, the sixth star of the Northern Dipper, belongs to Metal and is the lord of the Wealth Palace"; Master Xiyi says: "Wealth and property are its special domain"

· Complete Book of Zi Wei Dou Shu · Volume 3 · On the Stars Sharing a Palace: "Wu Qu and Tan Lang in Wealth or Property bring sudden riches; fears emptiness." (★Collation 2026-09-05: the original citation 〔Wu Qu guarding the Wealth Palace most fears Kong and Jie; meeting them, money comes and goes〕 could not be found after full-text verification against the Wikisource rare edition; replaced with the original text)

· Complete Book of Zi Wei Dou Shu · Volume 2 · Wealth, entry on Wu Qu: "Wu Qu guarding together in the Si or Hai palace, coming from the east and going to the west; with Zi Wei, first loss then gain; with Lian Zhen, wealth through toil, first hard then smooth; adding Kong and Jie, extreme poverty."

Money comes from competition — you earn hard-won money, but you can save it.

With Lian Zhen and Qi Sha in the Wealth Palace, the Complete Book has the line "with Qi Sha, taking amid bustle," meaning money must be fought for in bustling, competitive places, won through drive and decisiveness — not the type that collects money lying down. Volume 3 of the Complete Book says "Lian Zhen and Qi Sha in Temple/Prosperous instead make a person who accumulates wealth"; Lian Zhen and Qi Sha share a palace only in Chou or Wei, with Qi Sha in Temple and Lian Zhen not Fallen, so over time the accumulation is considerable.

With Lian Zhen in Temple/Prosperous (Yin/Shen palaces) guarding the Wealth Palace, civil and military talents and romantic charm are monetized at the same time; your social circle is your wealth circle — the more active, the richer — best suited to personal branding or creative entrepreneurship.

· Lian Zhen in the Wealth Palace — signifies wealth through talent and monetizing connections.

· Lian Zhen + Tan Lang in the Wealth Palace — Volume 2: "with Tan Lang, sudden prosperity and sudden ruin; meeting Yang and Huo, extremely sudden windfall income."

· Complete Book of Zi Wei Dou Shu · Volume 2 · Wealth: "Lian Zhen in the Shen or Yin palace makes money amid bustle; in a Fallen palace, first hard then easy" (★Collation 2026-09-06: the original "Lian Zhen in the Wealth Palace, wealth comes from talent" was a forced false citation of "Complete Book · Discussion of the Wealth Palace" with no match in the rare edition; the rare edition's Lian Zhen in Wealth reads "makes money amid bustle"; corrected per the rare edition)

· Questions and Answers on the Stars · Lian Zhen: "Meeting Lu Cun, wealth and nobility; meeting Wen Chang, fond of rites and music; meeting malefic luminaries, prominent in military posts; in the Career Palace, authority" (★Collation 2026-06-05: the original "Lian Zhen, civil and military, wealthy, noble and capable of power" is not found in the Marrow Rhapsody; corrected per the Lian Zhen entry in the rare edition of Questions and Answers on the Stars)
