Tai Yang in the Children Palace
Tai Yang is the noble star for men, ruling over reputation and public service; its transformed energy is Nobility. In the Life Palace it brings an open, upright character, suited to public office and work that builds a name.
Summary
Tai Yang in the Children Palace shows children who are sunny and outgoing, charismatic in public, and who develop well. In Temple the old book says later-born children are more noble, with brilliant prospects; Fallen, children spend little time with their parents and their development is hindered, so you need to invest more effort in the bond. Sharing the palace with Ju Men in Temple/Prosperous forms what Master Ni calls the Ju-Ri Pattern; classical pattern names are literary expressions, not predictions.

Core reading
With Tai Yang in the Children Palace, your children are sunny and outgoing, charismatic in public, and develop well. The old book says Tai Yang in Temple (the star is strong) means "three boys, two girls, late sons are noble," meaning three sons and two daughters, and those born later achieve more. With Tai Yang Fallen (weak), the old book says "three sons who don't succeed," meaning that even with three, it's hard for them to grow up successfully. Sharing a palace with Ju Men, the Complete Book's Tai Yang entry says "with Ju Men, three," while the Ju Men entry says "living with Tai Yang, one or two sons, easy to raise" — the two stand side by side. Tai Yang is a Yang star; when Master Ni counts sons, each Yang star in the Children Palace counts as one son.
