7. WITH OTHER STARS
When Wu Qu is matched with certain stars, its strength and influence become much greater. For example:
1. Hua Lu together with helper stars Zuo Fu and You Bi improves financial skills and supports career success.
2. Stars like Qi Sha, Po Jun, Tan Lang, and the Four Hua stars (Si Hua) give strong energy for leadership, wealth, and decisive actions.
But some pairings can bring problems:
1. With Huo Xing or Ling Xing, Wu Qu may face conflicts, impulsive behavior, or sudden setbacks. These can make life more unstable and require extra care.
Wu Qu also carries a solitary influence. It can sometimes create distance from relatives or bring challenges in marriage, particularly for women. For men, these difficulties can often be channeled into career ambition, reducing negative effects by focusing on work and responsibility.
In terms of palace placement, Wu Qu is best suited in roles connected to career, finance, military, or police work. Its energy is strongest when directed toward responsibility, authority, and discipline.
