Wu Qu in the Travel Palace
Wu Qu is the wealth star, ruling over firmness and decisiveness; its transformed energy is Wealth. In the Life Palace it brings strong financial management, suited to business and finance.
Summary
Wu Qu in the Travel Palace suits movement over staying put: the old book says it advances amid bustle and rarely does well staying still, with money easiest to earn in busy places. Away from home you are hands-on, often in finance, engineering, military or police; the old book adds that Wu Qu here favours markets. With Tan Lang or Tian Fu you can become a great merchant, with Tian Xiang you prosper abroad, with Qi Sha or Po Jun body and mind find no rest. With Qing Yang, Tuo Luo, Huo Xing or Ling Xing you attract disputes away from home.
