      Po Jun is akin to 戰將 zhànjiàng = a war/battle general/commander/leader. But in this capacity Qi Sha is slightly better because the Qi Sha commander is able to receive instructions and assignments from the emperor and is just and honourable; without tricks. When Po Jun is to receive instructions from the emperor, there is contention; to be out of tune with each other, to be incompatible. Therefore... [?].

The person of this star has resolution, boldness, courage, and daring. The native prefers taking care of every single thing personally; to see or attend to everything oneself. Po Jun enables 耗 hào = expenditures; to spend, waste, squander, consume. And 禍福 huò​fú = misfortune and happiness go together; sometimes there is good fortune, sometimes disaster. In behaviour and action and thought and thinking the individual is self-opinionated and obstinate; to persist whatever others say. He or she is of an intensely subjective consciousness.

Po Jun gives the means to rupture, destruction, damage, violations, decomposition. This star has to do with 殘暴 cán​bào = cruel and ferocious; ruthless, brutal, and savage.

Because... [?].

The native is subjectively assertive. The individual is rather overbearing and dictatorial; to rule by force; to take to despotic rule.

The person is seriously selfish. He or she easily falls out with other people.

In the occasion of Po Jun it is not appropriate trying to preserve the status quo, the accomplishments of previous generations.

In Ming or Shen, the native's state of mind and mood are never settled; to turn something over indefinitely. The individual tends toward taking risks and chances, and trials and tribulations.

There is weak predestined affinity with family and close relatives. Regarding spouse and children, the fate or chance that brings people together is hollow and fruitless. There is... [?]. This star facilitates 離鄉背井 lí​xiāng​bèi​jǐng = to tear oneself away from one's native place; to live far from home; to leave for a foreign land.

With regard to both the mind and the body, there will be much rushing about and labour and toil. This star means a lifetime of comparatively large changes and alterations and ups and downs. The individual does not join in with others very much. The person has a resentful and dissatisfied attitude toward actual circumstances and reality.

The native is irascible, short-tempered, fiery, hot-headed, impulsive, and daring and valiant. He or she takes chances and risks. Po Jun brings about undulations, fluctuations, rises and falls. However, other people do also become fond of the Po Jun person because he or she is frank, straightforward, firm and persistent, having unswerving determination and leadership abilities.

Po Jun signifies changes and alterations, and regardless of there being good or bad, or success or defeat, the individual will have to work diligently and go through hardships. He or she will meet with setbacks, frustrations, disappointments.

When Po Jun is in Ming the person is not able to stay idle and be unoccupied and do nothing. The native has that many things going on simultaneously the day ought to have 48 hours.

Lu Cun and Hua Lu are able to bring Po Jun under control. If there isn't the presence of a Lu star, Po Jun becomes a representative of war of attrition.

Apart from Tai Yin and Tan Lang, Po Jun allows for a beautiful woman, a big-eyed belle. However, Po Jun is still unfavourable what with her relationships to family and close relatives.

The palace position of Po Jun in the horoscope indicates an area of life that is broken, damaged, destroyed. The palace of Po Jun becomes extremely unstable.

Preserving the accomplishments of previous generations, being content with the status quo, is not appropriate. Tian Luo [Chen palace] and Di Wang [Xu palace] are optimal for Po Jun.

The individual of this star takes to consuming extremely much. He or she... [?].

The person is not fond of... [?] with other people. There is a bit of the mysterious, secret and confidential about the native of this star. In fact, the individual is actually very emotional and sentimental. Therefore, it may happen often that the person scares or intimidates his or her spouse/significant other.

Consequently, as regards love, romance, and relationships, it is important that the native tempers him- or herself and learns self-control. Otherwise... [?].
