Tian Fu in the Children Palace

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.

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.

· Lian Zhen in the Children Palace — your children carry a secondary romance air: talented and precocious.

· Lian Zhen meeting Tan Lang — your children's romance luck is extremely strong; teach boundaries early.
