Busy with work, I haven't posted a new case in a few days, and I feel rather uneasy. I suppose writing has become a habit.

Generally, from childhood our parents push us to study, hoping we will find good jobs in the future. But as we grow older we find that, apart from certain schools and majors, study doesn't necessarily make you rich as expected; and even with those particular majors, luck sometimes runs out and you can't find a high-paying job. So what does a chart that can truly "study its way to great wealth" look like?

Look at this woman's chart. She graduated in business from a prestigious school and now works at a well-known foreign bank. She is often headhunted, and her salary keeps rising as a result. How much? It doesn't matter; it's enough to know her salary is far above average. The chart is as follows:

The 命宮 (Life Palace) holds the double-star 殺破狼 (Sha Po Lang), with 文昌 (Wen Chang), 文曲 (Wen Qu) and 祿存 (Lu Cun); she seems quite good at studying. But:

  • 貪狼 (Tan Lang) meeting 昌曲: off its proper position and upside down
  • 破軍 (Po Jun) meeting 昌曲: the poor-scholar pattern

People with such charts may indeed have a knack for study, but can they really get rich from it? Let's reshape the chart, as follows:

First, the subject's luck in study. For study, 化科 (Ke) comes first, especially 文昌 and 文曲 becoming 化科.

The 辰 Palace (with its three sides and four directions: 子, 申, 戌)

  • 4 化科 concentrated on 辰
  • The stem of 辰 is 庚: 太陰 (Tai Yin) becomes 化科 and auspiciously transforms 辰 from the 子 Palace
  • 文曲 in 己卯: under 己, 天梁 (Tian Liang) becomes 化科 in 辰
  • 文昌 in 丁亥: under 丁, 天機 (Tian Ji) becomes 化科 in 辰
  • 天機 + 天梁 + 化科: 機梁 in the same palace with 化科 concentrated; clear thinking, well organized
  • 天機 天梁 化科 + 擎羊 (Qing Yang): charges ahead in study, persistent and determined!
  • 天機 天梁 擎羊 化科 + 左輔 (Zuo Fu): what she thinks and learns, she can extrapolate from; logically lucid and consistent throughout

With this chart, if you want to study, keep climbing higher. Her ability to learn is extremely strong.

Next, the subject's wealth. She was born in an 乙丑 year, so we focus on the 丑 Palace.

The 丑 Palace (with its three sides and four directions: 酉, 巳, 未)

  • Double-star 殺破狼 + 鈴星 (Ling Xing): a grand pattern, and 鈴星 with 貪狼 forms the "火貪格" (Fire-Greed pattern), a sign of sudden wealth.
  • 天府 (Tian Fu) for salary: 亥, stem 丁, 太陰 becomes 化祿, so Lu stars flank the 丑 Palace; money pours in.
  • 天府 + 天馬 (Tian Ma): suited to working far from home.
  • 祿存 for livelihood: 己, stem 己, makes 武曲 (Wu Qu) in 丑 become 化祿 and 貪狼 become 化權

Overall judgment: the 丑 Palace's wealth luck is extremely strong

With a chart like this, she is good at study and good at making money. Although the 丑 Palace is flanked by malefic stars, earning a high salary in a high-pressure work environment is quite reasonable.

A chart like this means a lifetime of busy work but generous income: an enviably fortunate person.
