English · BaZi Term
Seven Killings (偏官 / 七殺)
Raw pressure, drive, and challenging power.
Definition
Seven Killings (偏官, piān guān, also called 七殺 qī shā) is the Ten God for the element that controls the Day Master, sharing the same yin-yang polarity. It is one of the two Authority (官殺) gods.
Meaning in a chart
Seven Killings represents raw power and pressure: ambition, decisiveness, discipline forged under force, and the drive to overcome obstacles. It can make a bold leader, soldier, or entrepreneur who thrives under challenge — but as the harsher form of authority, unbalanced Seven Killings brings stress, conflict, and a sense of being pushed. Tamed by Output or Resource gods, it becomes formidable competence.
Example
Metal controls Wood, so if your Day Master is 甲 (Yang Wood), then 庚 (Yang Metal) is your Seven Killings — same polarity.
