Qi Sha (General Star) in the Property Palace
Qi Sha (七殺) in the Property Palace (田宅宮) describes a base of operations rather than an ancestral seat: homes changed decisively, property taken in bold moves, and an estate built by the owner's own hand, usually far from where they started.
The classical reading
The general star in the palace of home and holdings runs the estate like territory. The classical readings begin with departure: this placement leaves the family ground early, inherits little or declines what binds, and builds its own holdings from campaign proceeds, the self-made deed being this palace's signature document. Homes change in decisive moves rather than drift, the house bought in a week, the city changed at a pivot, and the dwelling itself tends toward the star's austerity: functional, secure, uncluttered, closer to quarters than nest. As treasury the palace holds the way a fort holds: strongly between sieges, but subject to the campaign, since the general will mortgage the base to fund the war, and the classics' sternest advice here is one asset the ventures can never touch. Domestic texture carries the edge inward, a household of strong wills needing explicit territory, quiet needing deliberate cultivation. Within the Sha Po Lang (殺破狼) rhythm, property transforms at the great decades: bought, sold, or rebuilt when the era turns. With support, the self-built estate ends substantial; with heavy sha stars (煞星), guard against forced sales.
Frequently asked
Why do I keep moving house with Qi Sha in the Property Palace?
The general star treats homes as bases for the current campaign, so this placement relocates decisively whenever life pivots, and the classics read an estate built by your own hand away from the family ground. The one discipline it asks: keep a single property permanently outside your ventures' reach, whatever the war needs.
