Seven Killings · Army Breaker · Greedy Wolf

Sha Po Lang (杀破狼) is one of the most famous formations in Zi Wei Dou Shu — when Seven Killings, Army Breaker, and Greedy Wolf all gather around the Self palace. It marks a life of dramatic swings and breakthrough rather than the safe road, suited to founders, reformers, and people who remake their world.

What is Seven Killings · Army Breaker · Greedy Wolf (杀破狼)?

MixedRarity · Notable

Sha Po Lang forms when the three 'change' stars — Qi Sha (Seven Killings), Po Jun (Army Breaker), and Tan Lang (Greedy Wolf) — meet across the four key positions of the Self palace (命/财/官/迁). Because these three are always 120° apart, the moment one lands on the Self the other two inevitably shine in.

What does 杀破狼 mean for your life?

A Sha Po Lang life moves in waves, not straight lines — surges of fortune followed by sharp resets. It is the chart of the entrepreneur, the reformer, the one who tears down and rebuilds. Stability bores them; change is their native climate. The lesson is to ride the cycles on purpose — bank the highs, survive the lows — rather than be thrown by them.

Which stars form 杀破狼?

Qi Sha (Seven Killings, the General) · Po Jun (Army Breaker) · Tan Lang (Greedy Wolf), meeting across the Self palace.

What the classics say

Classical texts treat Seven Killings, Army Breaker, and Greedy Wolf as the three stars of change — a life of upheaval that destroys in order to rebuild.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Sha Po Lang a lucky chart?

Neither purely lucky nor unlucky. Sha Po Lang rules change — it gives breakthrough energy and a refusal to settle. Used well it makes a pioneer; used poorly, endless churn. The art is turning turbulence into growth.

What suits a Sha Po Lang person?

Founding businesses, reform, opening new markets, crisis management, the arts and sport — anything that rewards breakthrough. The poor fit is an unchanging, routine post, where the suppressed energy turns inward.

Why is Sha Po Lang so common?

Because Qi Sha, Po Jun and Tan Lang are always 120° apart, the instant one lands on the Self the other two shine in — making it the most frequently seen big-pattern axis in the system.
