Wu Qu is both a wealth star and a general's star: it stands for execution, discipline and a practical attitude toward money. People with Wu Qu in the Life Palace are crisp and direct, dislike dragging things out, are sensitive to numbers and efficiency — the kind of person who actually gets things landed.
Wu Qu's lesson is hardness: strong principles and little willingness to compromise can read as severity in relationships. Wu Qu together with Tian Fu is the classic treasury combination; when Wu Qu transforms to Ji, pay extra attention to cash flow and contract details.

The recurring lesson is just as clear: hardness and reluctance to compromise, which can create distance in relationships.
