Hurting Officer (傷官) meaning

What is Hurting Officer?

Hurting Officer (傷官) is the character with the opposite polarity among the element your Day Master produces. Sang (傷) means to wound and gwan (官) means official rank, so it was named 'the energy that wounds the Direct Officer.' It stands for the power to challenge rules and authority, along with unusual talent, a way with words, and flair. As a person, it points to children (in a woman's chart), students, or those who work under you. In the past it was shunned, but today it is seen as the Ten God that shines brightest in creative work and the professions.

Personality and traits

People with a clear Hurting Officer think fast and speak sharply. You see what others miss and invent new ways of doing things. You hate being boxed in, so you clash with organizations that have many rules. Your expression is strong enough to hurt people without meaning to, so the habit of polishing your words once before they leave becomes a great asset.
