Jie Sha (劫煞)​

Effects​

Jie Sha, also known as "Da Sha (大煞)", is a malevolent star in the Four Pillars of Destiny chart, primarily associated with unexpected disasters, health issues, and financial losses. Individuals with Jie Sha in their destiny often possess a strong personality and competitive spirit, are decisive in their actions, and dare to take responsibility. However, they are also prone to misfortune, which can lead to accidents or health problems. Jie Sha has a dual nature; if the Five Elements of the destiny are balanced and aided by auspicious stars, it may stimulate the individual's wisdom and talents, helping them achieve career success and accomplishments. Conversely, if Jie Sha encounters inauspicious stars or an imbalance in the Five Elements, it may lead to disasters, poverty, or even health crises.

  • Personality Traits: The individual often has a strong competitive spirit, dares to take responsibility, and acts decisively, but may also be impulsive and eager for quick success.
  • Disasters and Accidents: Jie Sha is associated with unexpected disasters, and the individual may be prone to harm or sudden troubles in certain situations.
  • Health Issues: The ears, nose, and throat are prone to illness, with common chronic diseases or accidental injuries.
  • Wealth and Career: Jie Sha's presence in the chart may cause financial fluctuations, with assets easily lost or stolen; career difficulties may arise, or failure due to poor judgment.

Method of Identification​

The method to identify Jie Sha is by using the individual's Day Stem or Year Stem, combined with other Earthly Branches in the Four Pillars. The specific identification method is as follows:

  • Yin, Wu, Xu see Hai
  • Shen, Zi, Chen see Si
  • Si, You, Chou see Yin
  • Hai, Mao, Wei see Shen

By identifying the corresponding Earthly Branches through the Day Stem or Year Stem, if Jie Sha appears in the chart, the individual may be influenced by Jie Sha.

Jie Sha is often associated with sudden disasters, health issues, and financial losses. According to the "San Ming Tong Hui", if Jie Sha is aided by auspicious stars, it may stimulate the individual's wisdom and talents, leading to achievements in their career. Conversely, if Jie Sha combines with inauspicious stars, it can lead to numerous disasters, causing the individual to suffer physical and mental hardships.

An ancient poem states: "Jie Sha brings disasters that cannot be withstood, futilely chasing fame and fortune; beware of the complete loss of ancestral property, how can wife and children last long?" This verse emphasizes that Jie Sha may render all efforts in vain, with family and property possibly facing decline and separation due to its influence.

The "San Ming Tong Hui" also points out that when Jie Sha combines with noble stars or official stars, the individual's career and status may rise, allowing them to strategize and showcase their talents. However, if Jie Sha combines with unfavorable stars such as Chong Ke or Xing Sha, the individual may fall into difficulties or even encounter tragedies.
