Lian Zhen and Qi Sha in the Travel Palace: A Strong, Reliable Presence Away From Home and Turning the Confining Star and the General Into Pioneering That Does Not Clash

The Travel Palace reads going out, long journeys, outside connections and development. Lian Zhen governs firmness, the secondary peach blossom and rules while Qi Sha governs decisiveness, independence and pioneering, so together in Mao or You one is strong and reliable away, daring to venture and opening situations through pioneering, suiting development elsewhere, postings and new markets. The risk is hard clashes, conflict away and over-firmness with no room, so the key is turning edge into tact, discussing matters and learning to give a way out first.

People with Lian Zhen and Qi Sha in the Travel Palace are bold and reliable away, carrying matters in unfamiliar settings and stepping forward; yet when too firm with no room, they easily clash away and face many conflicts.
