The Children palace

What it governs

How to read a star here

The Children palace reads your children, your creative output, and everything you raise and set loose in the world. A star here shapes both offspring and the things you nurture.

Ask what the star would be like as a child, and as something you made. Its brightness speaks to ease with children and creative work; its shadow to the friction of raising anything that has a will of its own.
