Po Jun in the Children Palace

A thin bond with children; children leave the nest early.

With Po Jun in the Children Palace, the book says "strong-willed children," meaning children with tough personalities, strong independence, who don't take the usual path and want to stand on their own very early. Volume 1 says Po Jun "in offspring, first loss then success," in plain words: the children line first has setbacks and only later comes together, with a somewhat thin bond. Master Ni, on the Children Palace, says "with the Po Jun star, usually two." The book says Po Jun in Temple (the star is strong in this position) gives three, listed alongside Master Ni's two; this platform follows Master Ni. The book says "without control, seeing Kong, Jie, Huo or Tuo, few children," meaning fewer children.

Zi Wei Dou Shu emphasizes seeing Yin and Yang together; below are neutral reminders based on the features of this chart — knowing what to watch for lets you turn danger into safety.

◆ This palace's main star 【Po Jun】 is Fallen and lacks energy; in the bond with children you need to actively invest more effort and cannot rely on instinct alone.

With Zi Wei in the Children Palace, your children carry nobility.

With Zi Wei in the Children Palace, your children carry nobility, often including one who is outstanding and a natural leader. Volume 1 of the old book says "if the Children Palace gains auspicious assisting stars, it signifies giving birth to noble sons" — with auspicious stars like Zuo Fu and You Bi helping, your children will amount to something. Volume 1 also says "if it guards alone without assistants, the children are lonely" — with Zi Wei guarding here alone without helpers, there are few children, and lonely ones. As for the number of children, the old book says Zi Wei in Temple (strong in this position) means three boys and two girls. The old book says adding Zuo Fu, You Bi, Wen Chang and Wen Qu, there are five. It also says "if guarding alone and further adding Kong and Jie, a lonely ruler." Your children are very independent with high self-esteem, more like teacher-and-friend with their parents; guide their discipline gradually — pressing hard only brings rebound.

· Zi Wei in the Children Palace — your children carry the air of the emperor star: independent, self-respecting and not easily forced.

· Zi Wei in the Children Palace meeting Zuo Fu and You Bi — your children get much help, and their nobility is even greater.

Not many children, but their talent shows early. Sharing a palace with Tan Lang, Po Jun and Qi Sha and meeting malefic stars, the old book says "none at all."

The old book says Lian Zhen in the Children Palace means "one," about one child; when Master Ni discusses the Children Palace he says "Lian Zhen, two" — the two views stand side by side, and this platform takes Master Ni as primary. Sharing a palace with Tian Fu, the old book says "three noble sons." Sitting with Tan Lang, Po Jun and Qi Sha and further adding Qing Yang, Tuo Luo, Huo Xing, Ling Xing, Di Kong or Di Jie, the original text says "none at all." There tend to be few children, but they're not lacking in aptitude.

Your children are most likely talented with distinctive personalities, emotionally precocious, with more adolescent worries than their peers.
