not prominent )• Wu gui ( Five ghost ): illness, wealth loss, fraudulent activity, all
kinds of misfortunes, bad luck in general • Jue Ming ( life endangering ): accidents, injuries, ( effect not
prominent )• Liu sha ( Six killing ): conflict and dispute in relationships• Huo hai ( Mishaps ): small annoying issues
