The General in the Children palace
武曲子女Wǔ Qū in Zǐ Nǚ
Purple Star editorial · Reviewed
The General (武曲 Wǔ Qū) in the Children palace (子女) — children, creativity, what you nurture: Your child is tough and self-reliant, the relationship practical and short on warmth, with a talent for money or technical work.
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.
What it means
In the Children palace your child is tough and self-reliant, the relationship practical and short on warmth, with a talent for money or technical work. The solitary streak means the child grows independent early. With Hua Prosperity the child succeeds and prospers.
The shadow side
Under Hua Ji, blunt clashes strain the tie, or the child carries a surgical or health risk worth watching.
The Four Transformations四化 Si Hua — four stars in your chart receive a special charge from your birth-year stem: Flow 禄 (ease), Power 权 (control), Merit 科 (recognition), Obstacle 忌 (friction). (四化) — Flow, Power, Merit and Obstacle — can sharpen or soften any of this depending on your exact birth year. Your own chart shows which are active.
From the classics
「武曲独守，富而不贵」
Wu Qu standing alone brings wealth without rank — money comes readily, but status must be earned by other means.
