Seven Killings
Authority (官星) · Element that controls the Day Master, same polarity
- Authority · decisiveness
- Drive · breakthrough
- Command
In brief
The energy of strong authority and decisiveness — also called the Seven Killings (七殺).
What is Seven Killings?
The Seven Killings (偏官 / 七殺) is the star that controls the Day Master, of the same polarity — a powerful energy also known as 七殺. It connects to decisiveness, drive, command, and breaking through crisis, becoming the force that meets hard situations head-on. It shines where strong authority and decision are needed: military and police, law, surgery, management. Because its pressure runs strong, tempering it with a Resource star or controlling it with the Eating God (食神制殺) turns it into a vessel of great capacity.
How to work with Seven Killings
Strong power finds its match in a tempering star (Resource or Eating God); then it becomes the mark of a leader rather than a runaway force.
