Robbery Sha and Consumers.Protect resources without living in fear.
Robbery Sha, Great Consumer and Lesser Consumer (劫煞 · 大耗 · 小耗) are traditional markers associated with exposure, disruption and different scales of resource leakage. Their practical value lies in better controls—not predictions of theft or financial ruin.
Loss prevention begins by naming the scale and pathway.
Robbery Sha points to exposure through disruption, competition, urgency or weak boundaries. Great Consumer concerns large drains, major commitments or concentrated outflow. Lesser Consumer concerns small but repeated costs that become material through accumulation.
Their formulas differ. Robbery Sha uses the Year Branch’s trine family, while Great and Lesser Consumer follow positions in the twelve-Branch annual sequence.
Interpret actual cash flow, contracts, security practices, energy demands and decision habits. A star name is not evidence that a loss will occur.
One table, three separate targets.
Use the natal Year Branch, then locate each returned Branch independently.
| Natal Year Branch | Robbery Sha · 劫煞 | Great Consumer · 大耗 | Lesser Consumer · 小耗 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 子 Zi · Rat | 巳 Si · Snake | 午 Wu · Horse | 巳 Si · Snake |
| 丑 Chou · Ox | 寅 Yin · Tiger | 未 Wei · Goat | 午 Wu · Horse |
| 寅 Yin · Tiger | 亥 Hai · Pig | 申 Shen · Monkey | 未 Wei · Goat |
| 卯 Mao · Rabbit | 申 Shen · Monkey | 酉 You · Rooster | 申 Shen · Monkey |
| 辰 Chen · Dragon | 巳 Si · Snake | 戌 Xu · Dog | 酉 You · Rooster |
| 巳 Si · Snake | 寅 Yin · Tiger | 亥 Hai · Pig | 戌 Xu · Dog |
| 午 Wu · Horse | 亥 Hai · Pig | 子 Zi · Rat | 亥 Hai · Pig |
| 未 Wei · Goat | 申 Shen · Monkey | 丑 Chou · Ox | 子 Zi · Rat |
| 申 Shen · Monkey | 巳 Si · Snake | 寅 Yin · Tiger | 丑 Chou · Ox |
| 酉 You · Rooster | 寅 Yin · Tiger | 卯 Mao · Rabbit | 寅 Yin · Tiger |
| 戌 Xu · Dog | 亥 Hai · Pig | 辰 Chen · Dragon | 卯 Mao · Rabbit |
| 亥 Hai · Pig | 申 Shen · Monkey | 巳 Si · Snake | 辰 Chen · Dragon |
Robbery Sha groups: 申子辰→巳 · 巳酉丑→寅 · 寅午戌→亥 · 亥卯未→申. Great Consumer is opposite the Year Branch; Lesser Consumer is the preceding Branch in that annual sequence.
Calculate separately, then audit the resource system.
Find the Year Branch
Use the natal Year Branch for all three columns on this page.
Read three results
Do not merge the targets even when two happen to occupy one Branch.
Check presence
Separate natal placement from annual or other timing activation.
Trace the leakage
Measure amount, frequency, pathway, responsibility and preventability.
Resource discipline is more useful than resource anxiety.
Protect major commitments
Review contracts, concentration, reserves and approval limits before large outflows.
Close recurring leaks
Audit subscriptions, rework, delays, wastage and unnoticed administrative costs.
Reduce exposure
Use verification, access control and ordinary fraud-prevention procedures.
Guard attention
Notice people and commitments that repeatedly consume time without proportionate value.
A Rat Year Branch returns Snake, Horse and Snake.
Robbery Sha and Lesser Consumer share Si in this row; Great Consumer is Wu.
From lookup to resource audit
A loss symbol is not a financial forecast.
No theft prediction
Robbery Sha does not prove that theft, fraud or betrayal will occur.
No bankruptcy claim
Consumer stars cannot establish insolvency, ruin or investment loss.
No financial advice
Material decisions require current figures and appropriately qualified advice.
No victim blaming
A chart marker never makes someone responsible for another person’s misconduct.
No doubled danger
Two markers sharing a Branch deepens the audit theme; it does not multiply an event.
No isolated verdict
Read the full chart, timing, contracts, behaviour and actual resource position.
Ask three questions: where are resources exposed, what is the largest possible drain, and which small leak repeats often enough to matter?
Place resource warnings inside the wider system.

Content Disclaimer
Understand the limits of educational metaphysics content.
Keep the markers distinct and the conclusions evidence-based.
Are the three markers the same?
No. They share a resource-loss theme but use different formulas and describe different pathways or scales.
Which Branch anchors this table?
This reference uses the natal Year Branch and checks each returned target separately.
Does Robbery Sha mean I will be robbed?
No. It cannot establish theft, fraud, betrayal or any culprit.
What is the difference between Great and Lesser Consumer?
Great Consumer frames concentrated or material outflow; Lesser Consumer frames smaller recurring leakage. Actual scale must be measured.
What if two markers share a target?
Audit both functions at that placement, but do not double the severity or predict an event.
