Malefic-Ji Pincer: The Overall San Fang Si Zheng (Three Harmonies & Four Cardinals) Assessment Is Needed for a Complete Picture
Travel Palace emphasizes the need to look at the overall malefic star of San Fang Si Zheng (Three Harmonies & Four Cardinals). The 'malefic-ji pincer' is when Four Transformations or malefic stars on both sides of Lian Zhen (Chastity Star) form a pinching formation — the heaviest travel safety risk malefic star. If multiple groups of malefics and Four Transformations appear together in San Fang Si Zheng (Three Harmonies & Four Cardinals), staying home is the safest strategy. Conversely, if Hua Ji Life Palace has Hua Lu shining in, or Lu Cun (Wealth Preservation) is in the same palace, malefic energy can largely be dissolved and extra caution during travel will suffice.

A 42-year-old male sales manager had chart pattern Four Transformations falling in Lian Zhen (Chastity Star) during a Ren year, yet still planned to lead his team for Southeast Asia expansion. Before departing, he went hiking to 'warm up' and broke his ankle, requiring surgery and a month of hospitalization, delaying the overseas project. He said afterward: 'If only I had listened to you.' The warnings in a same palace represent real risk assessment.
It is emphasized that you must look at the overall configuration of the trinal and cardinal palaces."Sha Ji Jia" (being sandwiched by Hua Ji or sha stars on both sides of the Travel Palace) is when both adjacent sides carry Hua Ji or sha stars forming a pincer attack. The heaviest configuration for travel safety risk, if multiple sets of sha and ji appear simultaneously in the trinal and cardinal palaces, staying home is the safest strategy. Conversely. If The Life Palace or Wealth Palace has Hua Lu shining in, or Lu Cun is in the same palace, sha energy can be greatly dissolved and extra caution in travel is sufficient.
