XinggeThe General you know
You probably know someone with this star.
Qi Sha is the top general of the Dipper: independent and decisive. A friend with a strong Qi Sha is used to carrying problems alone. While everyone is still discussing, they have already started, and they don't always wait for others to catch up.
Four spectrums
The spectrums are our modern way of drawing the stars. The method is public; it isn't from the classical texts.
What the classics say
The general star: independent and driven, quick to decide and willing to go all in.
Classical keywords: A general star with a severe edge. Independence, charging ahead, decisiveness, staking everything. Its harshness can become authority.
In the twelve palaces
The same Qi Sha says different things in different palaces.
Life Palace
You're decisive and bold, a general who can hold your own front. Drive is your gift; patience is what you build over time.
Spouse Palace
Love comes on fiercely, and your partners tend to have strong personalities. Settling down a bit later makes adjusting to each other much smoother.
Wealth Palace
You earn through drive and nerve, and your income swings widely. Keep an emergency fund so you can charge again with peace of mind.
Career Palace
You suit roles that open new ground and need a battlefield to charge into. What you achieve, you win by fighting for it.

Siblings Palace
You and your peers are independent of each other, competing more than cooperating. At the crucial moment, you back each other up.
Children Palace
Your children or team have minds of their own and are hard to manage. Give them room, and they'll surprise you.
Health Palace
You tend to rush ahead and forget you're tired, and stress hits fast. Leave time to recover, and you'll last.
Travel Palace
You're made to build your world away from home, and the less familiar the place, the better you do. Your luck lies far away.
Friends Palace
Your friends tend to be strong personalities; when you click, you're comrades, and when you don't, you can become rivals.
Property Palace
You move around a lot; home is a supply station, not a castle. The home you get for yourself is where you feel most settled.
Fortune Palace
You have an inner steadiness, and after the hard push you know how to enjoy what you've earned. Treat rest as resupply, and your good fortune holds.
Parents Palace
You and your elders butt heads, and you wanted to strike out on your own early. Independence is how you grow up.
These are readings for Qi Sha alone in a palace. With other stars beside it, the reading changes.
