Ju Men in the Children Palace
Ju Men is the star of disputes and eloquence, ruling over debate and communication; its transformed energy is Darkness. In the Life Palace it brings a gift for words, suited to law and teaching.
Summary
Ju Men in the Children Palace means children come late, hard at first and easier later, with many quarrels between parents and children; the old book says loss comes before gain, and having them is like not having them. Children are sharp-minded and good at debate; with malefic stars their self-expression is crushed, so guide them gently. Fallen, you must invest more actively in the bond. With Tai Yang children are bright and outgoing, with Tian Tong gentle and kind, with Tian Ji clever but few.

When sharing the palace with Tian Ji · 803 sample charts
Your children are clever and quick-witted, but not many. Meeting malefic stars, the old book says "no sons at all."
