Wu Qu belongs to metal. In the Northern Dipper it transforms into Wealth, master of the Wealth palace.
Zi Wei Dou Shu Quan Shu, vol. 2
主於人，性剛果決，有喜有怒，可福可災。
In a person it gives a firm, decisive nature, with joy and anger, able to bring blessing or disaster.
Zi Wei Dou Shu Quan Shu, vol. 1
In plain words
Wu Qu rules money. The book says it governs long life in the sky and wealth in the chart, and it reads the person as firm and decisive. With Lu Cun and Tian Ma it points to money made far from home. With Po Jun, money reaches the hand and is gone.
