Hollywood actress, 1950s screen icon · born June 1, 1926 in Los Angeles, USA

Terms in this palace · Tap for a plain explanation

You're decisive, clever and proud, with real strategy at Wang.From the classic

You're used to carrying things alone, so in love, let the other person help.

Stars

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

Qi Sha at WangYou act with boldness and calculation, and once you see your chance you charge. Once your temper flares, it's hard to rein in.

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?”

HardshipClassical texts say Qi Sha in the Life Palace carries the worry of a short life when the decade periods give no support. Today, it means taking extra care with your health and safety in the years when your luck runs weak.

Life Master Tan LangDeep down you want a lot: you are curious and love to experience things. Desire drives you; also know when enough is enough. Your Life Master sits in your Wealth Palace, so your thoughts often circle around money.

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

Clash from OppositeHuo Xing and Qing Yang clash in from the Travel Palace opposite: things are easily thrown off by outside events in your own life. Leave some margin on big decisions.

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 HealthThe palace stem sends Tai Yang Hua Lu into your Health Palace: the effort you put in here tends to pay off in body and mind.

Ji to FriendsThe palace stem sends Tian Tong Hua Ji into your Friends Palace: when things stall here, it often shows with your friends as well.

Minor Stars

Tian XingYou are principled, follow the rules and hold yourself to a high standard. Self-discipline is a strength; just do not be too hard on yourself.

En GuangYou are easily appreciated, and someone often gives you a hand at key moments. Make the most of every chance to be seen.

Twelve Gods

MuThe emphasis is on quiet accumulation, like a storehouse. What you save now will be useful later.

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” ›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” ›Like one who fights tigers and wades rivers (Qi Sha), the eyes are far too fierce; like one who swallowed charcoal and feigned muteness (Huo Xing, Ling Xing), the voice is hoarse and low.“Xing Xing Fu” ›My Quan Shu (39 lines on this palace) ›

Where the chart lines up

Qi Sha Chao Dou: starting her own company

Unwilling to keep playing the same sexy roles, she set up her own production company with photographer Milton Greene at the end of 1954, and from January 1955 fought a year-long contract dispute with Fox before signing a new contract. Her chart shows a Life Palace of Qi Sha (Wang), with the Qi Sha Chao Dou pattern. Qi Sha is a general's star of pioneering and refusing to be managed, one that wants to set its own direction. That lines up with how she fought head-on for control.

Back-to-back hits in 1953

In 1953 (nominal age 28), Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and How to Marry a Millionaire, both starring her, were released one after the other, and she became one of the biggest box-office draws in Hollywood. In her chart, the annual Four Transformations of 1953 send Po Jun's Hua Lu (Transformation of Wealth) into her natal Career Palace. Hua Lu entering the Career Palace means gains at work and a career opening up, and the star taking Hua Lu is Po Jun (Wang), the main star of her Career Palace itself.

Hua Lu in the Friends Palace: a draw for crowds

In 1954 she joined a USO tour to South Korea, singing for more than 60,000 US Marines over four days. Her chart shows the birth-year Tian Tong taking Hua Lu in the Friends Palace. The Friends Palace covers the people around her and the public at large; Tian Tong is a gentle, friendly star, and Hua Lu here means goodwill, with crowds willing to give her their warmth. That lines up with the charm she showed on stage in front of thousands of people.
