Wu Qu is said to be about money. Is that the classical text, or a later addition?

In plain words
The text says: Wu Qu is the sixth star of the Northern Dipper, belongs to Metal and corresponds to the Wealth Palace; Tian Tong belongs to Water, is the fourth southern star and corresponds to the Inner Life Palace; Tian Liang belongs to Earth, is the second star of the Southern Dipper and governs lifespan; Ju Men belongs to Water and Metal and is the second star of the Northern Dipper. Two of them are tied directly to a palace; that is a pairing of star and palace, not good or bad.
What the text says
All four lines come from Volume 1, the questions and answers on the stars. Open the classical basis below.
Compare with your own chart
Find which palace each of the four is in. Ju Men sometimes shares a cell with another major star.
Wu Qu (General Star) · Execution and resources
Execution and resources. Paying bills and doing chores matter, but a partner may also need acknowledgement. Practical contribution and feeling understood both deserve attention.
Break one goal into a step you can finish today and state the support you need.
Tian Tong (Peacemaker Star) · Ease and connection
Ease and connection. Saying 'anything is fine' when choosing a restaurant may hide a real preference. Try expressing one need while remaining open to the group's options.
Replace one 'anything is fine' with a specific, kindly expressed preference.
Tian Liang (Elder Star) · Care and principles
Care and principles. A family member venting about work may not want a plan immediately. Ask whether they would prefer company or help thinking through options.
Before offering advice, ask what kind of help the person wants.
Ju Men (Gate Star) · Questions and clarity
Questions and clarity. Instead of accusing someone of being vague about a deadline, ask whether they mean Wednesday before the end of the day. Specific questions produce usable answers.
Rephrase one accusatory question to clarify timing, scope or needs.
CHECK YOURSELF
Now, try it yourself.
Answer both questions correctly to complete the lesson. The original explanation appears after each answer.
