The Moon in the Children palace
太阴子女Tài Yīn in Zǐ Nǚ
Purple Star editorial · Reviewed
The Moon (太阴 Tài Yīn) in the Children palace (子女) — children, creativity, what you nurture: Your child is graceful and gentle, tender in feeling and close to you; the bond with a daughter is especially good, since the Moon governs the feminine.
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 graceful and gentle, tender in feeling and close to you; the bond with a daughter is especially good, since the Moon governs the feminine. With Hua Prosperity the child prospers; exalted, the child is notably good-looking.
The shadow side
Dim, the child is delicate and emotionally sensitive. For a man under Hua Ji, the child's relationship with its mother turns complicated.
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
「太阴以亮为贵」
The Moon is prized for its brightness — a luminous Moon brings beauty and wealth, a dim one brings changeable moods and unsteady fortune.
