You're tough and bold, with both help and resistance.From the classic

Wu Qu and Qi Sha have both helpful and challenging stars, so hold on to your money.

Stars

Wu Qu NatureYou are resolute and decisive, efficient in what you do and sensible with money. When you dig in, leave a little room for softness.

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

Mixed StarsYou have help, and malefic stars stir things up too. When money sparks a conflict, step back first, and do not stake all your drive on one throw.

Challenging Stars PresentClassical texts say Wu Qu struck by the four harsh stars brings loneliness or poverty, and scars that come with a longer life. Today, it means your money swings a lot, so keep a reserve, and don't let yourself grow too isolated.“What Does Wu Qu Govern?”

For MenClassical texts say Wu Qu in the Life Palace, struck by wasting and harsh stars, ends up empty however much money comes in. Today, it means keeping money takes more care than earning it.“The Nature of Wu Qu”

With Ling XingClassical texts say Qi Sha meeting Ling Xing and Huo Xing points to falling in battle or serious illness. Today, it means steering clear of high-risk activities.“Star Combinations: Qi Sha”

Life Master Wen QuYou are naturally expressive and artistic, and you get noticed through expression. Write, speak and make things. Your Life Master sits in your Parents Palace, so your thoughts often circle around your relationship with elders.

Body Master Huo XingThe older you get, the more impatient you are to see results. Drive is an asset; set your own pace. Your Body Master sits in your Spouse Palace, so much of your later effort goes into love.

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

Transformations

Wu Qu Hua QuanYou're decisive; you don't say much, but your moves carry weight. Don't treat every conversation as a battle to win.

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 PropertyYou put your heart into home and think about building assets. Start saving early.

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 palaceIf it sits in emptiness, gain and loss matter most. If it meets a place of defeat, support works wonders.“Tai Wei Fu” ›Zi Wei and Tian Fu depend wholly on the help of Zuo Fu and You Bi; Qi Sha and Po Jun owe their savagery solely to Qing Yang and Ling Xing.“Tai Wei Fu” ›When 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” ›My Quan Shu (105 lines on this palace) ›

Where the chart lines up

Often doing his own stunts

McQueen loved motorcycles and racing cars, and in scenes involving driving or riding he often did his own stunts, including some of the car chase in Bullitt and the motorcycle chase in The Great Escape; on The Towering Inferno he also insisted on doing his own stunts. In his chart, the Life Palace holds Qi Sha (Wang). Qi Sha is often read as drive and stepping in personally, and his stunt work can be read alongside it.

The Great Escape in 1963

On June 20, 1963 (nominal age 34), The Great Escape, starring McQueen, premiered in London. It became one of the highest-grossing films of the year and established him as a box-office draw. In the annual Four Transformations of 1963, Po Jun (Wang) takes Hua Lu (Transformation of Wealth) and enters his natal Career Palace. The Career Palace covers career, and Hua Lu is returns, which fits what this film brought him.

The highest-paid actor in the world

By the time he made The Getaway in 1972, McQueen was the highest-paid actor in the world; in 1974 he co-starred with Paul Newman in The Towering Inferno for $1 million plus a share of the box office. In the Four Transformations of his Decade Luck for nominal ages 42–51 (1971–1980), Tan Lang (Xian) takes Hua Quan (Transformation of Power) and enters the natal Wealth Palace. The Wealth Palace covers income, and Hua Quan is holding the reins, which lines up with his commanding the top fees.
