Robbery Sha: four-group table, Extinction and Rob Wealth differences
Robbery Sha (Jie Sha, 劫煞) takes the Extinction-stage branch of a trine element. Its name evokes external interruption or taking. It is distinct from the Rob Wealth (a traditional role associated with shared resources, cooperation and competition) Ten God (one of ten traditional relationship labels defined relative to the birth-day element) and does not establish theft or financial loss.
Where are the four Extinction targets?
Select the trine group from a Year or Day Branch (the lower symbol in the birth-day column) and use the Extinction position in that element’s forward stages. Extinction is a stage name, not a statement that a person’s life or resources will end.
Clarify calculates this marker internally but excludes it from user-facing interpretation content. Explaining the rule here does not mean it appears in reports or creates a risk score.
| Reference group | Robbery: Extinction | Lost Spirit: Lin Guan |
|---|---|---|
| Shen / Zi / Chen | Si | Hai |
| Yin / Wu 午 / Xu | Hai | Si |
| Si / You / Chou | Yin | Shen |
| Hai / Mao / Wei | Shen | Yin |
Why does Ren-Zi with Si not add a Rob Wealth star?
Day Branch Zi selects Water and targets Si. Si at the month gives a location under this rule. Ren’s Rob Wealth stem, however, is Gui; the label Robbery Sha cannot stand in for Gui.
Si hides Bing, Wu and Geng: Indirect Wealth, Seven Killings and Indirect Resource for Ren. Its hidden stems have not changed, and Gui is not among them.
External taking is the start of a metaphor
Sanming Tonghui contrasts external taking with Lost Spirit’s internal loss, while discussing different surrounding conditions. An isolated severe sentence cannot justify a verdict of inevitable loss.
Where competition or resource pressure is real, contracts, permissions, spending and behavior supply useful facts. This traditional term cannot replace them.
