People help your plans succeed.From the classic

When two strong people are together, split the roles and each give a little. Qi Sha at Wang has helpful stars.

Stars

Qi Sha NatureYou have drive and nerve, the boldness of the General Star. Before you charge ahead, know your way back.

By BranchClassical texts call Qi Sha in Yin, Shen, Zi or Wu the Qi Sha Facing the Dipper pattern, with rank and stipend flourishing all life. Today, it means you take on responsibility and are often put in charge.“Star Combinations: Qi Sha”

For WomenClassical texts say a woman with Qi Sha at Wang holds money and authority, wins people over, and outstrips her spouse in ambition. Today, it means that at home and at work you're used to making the decisions and carrying the big picture. Classical texts say a woman with Qi Sha is decisive and ambitious, yet cannot escape harm to her spouse and a hard road. Today, it means you have strong views, and in a relationship neither of you gives way easily.“What Does Qi Sha Govern?”

Life Master Po JunYou are naturally restless with the status quo and want to break things down and start over. Decide what you will build before you start tearing down. Your Life Master sits in your Career Palace, so your thoughts often circle around work.

Patterns

Sha Po Lang (Killings, Breaker, Wolf)Your Life Palace sits on the Sha Po Lang line: life moves in big swings and you rarely sit still. Change is your fuel, but always leave yourself a way back.Classic pattern

Qi Sha Chao Dou (Seven Killings Faces the Dipper)Qi Sha in Zi or Wu holds your Life Palace, with Wu Qu and Tian Fu opposite (later practitioners often call this Yang Dou): your drive has direction, and when you go all in, you earn your place.Classic pattern

Challenging TrinesSan Fang Si Zheng brings in Di Jie, Di Kong, Huo Xing and Qing Yang: there is more outside pressure and change in your own life. Take it one step at a time.

Flying StarsThis part follows the Flying Star school: where this palace's stem sends its transformations. It is a different method from the classical reading above.

Lu to FortuneYou know how to live well, and doing what you love can bring in money. Your interests are worth building on.

Quan to CareerAt work you want to be in charge and suit taking responsibility or going your own way. Grab the chance when it comes.

Ji to HealthThe palace stem sends Tai Yang Hua Ji into your Health Palace: the part of your own affairs you cannot let go of tends to land in body and mind.

Minor Stars

Tian YaoYou have a hard-to-name pull and know how to set a mood. Charm is a gift; how far to take it is your call.

The Life Palace is about: Who you are at the core: your temperament and innate makeup. Every chart reading starts here.

What the Quan Shu says about this palaceWhen the stars as a whole are auspicious, even meeting a malefic star is auspicious. When the stars as a whole are malefic, meeting a malefic star is malefic.“Tai Wei Fu” ›With Tian Kui and Tian Yue travelling together, one's position reaches that of a chief minister.“Tai Wei Fu” ›Qi Sha is like Zilu, who would fight a tiger bare-handed and wade across a river; Huo Xing and Ling Xing are like Yu Rang, who swallowed charcoal and feigned muteness.“Xing Xing Fu” ›My Quan Shu (45 lines on this palace) ›

Where the chart lines up

Astaire said Ginger never cried

Astaire and his choreography partner Hermes Pan both said she was extremely professional, even while juggling other film commitments with Astaire's punishing rehearsal schedules. In 1986 Astaire remarked, "All the girls I ever danced with thought they couldn't do it ... So they always cried. All except Ginger. No, no, Ginger never cried". In her chart, the Life Palace holds Qi Sha (Wang), the star that can take pressure and stand on its own.

The musicals with Astaire

In the 1930s she and Fred Astaire made nine musical films together at RKO, whose dance numbers, elegant and virtuosic as never before, changed the Hollywood musical; among them were Top Hat (1935) and Swing Time (1936). Both years fall within her Decade Luck for nominal ages 24–33, whose Four Transformations send Tian Tong (Miao) with Hua Lu (Transformation of Wealth) into her natal Friends Palace. The Friends Palace covers friends and collaborators, and Hua Lu stands for gains, which lines up with this partnership.

Best Actress after the switch to drama

Around the end of her partnership with Astaire she starred in a number of successful non-musical films, and Stage Door in 1937 showed her dramatic range; in 1941 she won the Academy Award for Best Actress for Kitty Foyle (1940). In her chart, the Career Palace holds Po Jun (Wang). The Career Palace covers work, and Po Jun is the star of changing course and starting over, which lines up with her turn from musicals to dramas and comedies.

The best-paid star in the West End

In 1969 she went to London's West End to star in the musical Mame at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, becoming the highest-paid performer in the history of the West End up to that time, and the show ran for 14 months. This falls in her Decade Luck for nominal ages 54–63, whose Four Transformations send Wu Qu (Wang) with Hua Lu into her natal Travel Palace. The Travel Palace covers going out, and Hua Lu stands for gains, which fits the high pay she earned abroad.
