The Strategist in the Children palace
天机子女Tiān Jī in Zǐ Nǚ
Purple Star editorial · Reviewed
The Strategist (天机 Tiān Jī) in the Children palace (子女) — children, creativity, what you nurture: Your child is bright, mentally quick and a fast learner, but temperamentally changeable and hard to settle.
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 bright, mentally quick and a fast learner, but temperamentally changeable and hard to settle. The bond wants plenty of freedom rather than tight control. With Hua Prosperity the child is exceptionally gifted.
The shadow side
Under Hua Ji the relationship runs through more turns than most, and the child may leave home and strike out on their own quite early.
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.
