The Warrior in the Children palace
七杀子女Qī Shā in Zǐ Nǚ
Purple Star editorial · Reviewed
The Warrior (七杀 Qī Shā) in the Children palace (子女) — children, creativity, what you nurture: Your child is forceful and independent, and the bond carries a sense of friction; the child grows independent early and the tie runs thin.
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 forceful and independent, and the bond carries a sense of friction; the child grows independent early and the tie runs thin. The Warrior's solitary air means the relationship must be actively tended.
The shadow side
For a woman, classical texts note a 'harm to children' caution here — later childbearing is advised. Under Hua Ji, clashes with the child sharpen and the parenting approach needs adjusting.
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
「七杀临身终不美，多败少成」
When Qi Sha sits on the self the road is never easy — more setbacks than victories; whatever it wins, it wins by force of will.
