· Army Breaker in the Career palace — signifies work that leans toward the technical, pioneering and trailblazing, with many changes.

· Army Breaker in the Rat or Horse palace is the “Hero Star” — a man's chart achieves great success in a military career.

· Complete Book, Volume 3, “On stars sharing a palace”: “The Army Breaker in the Rat or Horse palace with no malefic stars is a clear and distinguished private official, reaching the rank of the three ministers”, original note: “people born in a Yang Wood or Yin Water year fit the pattern, people of Yin Fire and Snake are lesser, and people of Yang Fire and Dog are governed by hardship.” (This is among the life patterns of the Complete Book, not only for the Career palace.)

· Complete Book, Volume 2, section on the Career palace: “The Army Breaker in a Temple or Prosperous position gives a military post with a commanding, winning presence; sharing the palace with the Martial star and meeting Power, Prosperity, Literary Talent and Literary Arts, you become eminent and successful; meeting the Ram Blade, Hindrance, Fire Star and Bell Star, it is ordinary; sharing with the Emperor, your name resounds far; sharing with Integrity, scholars do not last, and working as a private clerk is best.”

With Army Breaker in the Career palace, the book says “Army Breaker in a Temple or Prosperous position, a military post excels”, meaning that in a Temple position (this star at full strength in this position) you stand out most on a military-post path. One view holds that Army Breaker in the Rat or Horse palace forms “the hero star in a Temple position” and can bring a military officer career, referring to occupations such as soldier, police, judge and diplomat. Meeting Literary Talent and Literary Arts means “prominent and distinguished”, meaning both reputation and standing rise; adding Ram Blade, Hindrance, Fire Star and Bell Star means “ordinary”, with unremarkable achievements; sharing the palace with Emperor means “a name shaking the world”, a far-reaching reputation; sharing it with Integrity means “a scholar does not last long, clerical work is the finest”, meaning purely civil posts do not last long, and practical affairs in fact suit you best.

Army Breaker in the Career palace is a military-official star, and breaking the old to build the new is its true colour.
