Zi Wei in the Children Palace
Zi Wei is the Emperor Star, ruling over dignity and rank; its transformed energy is Honor. In the Life Palace it brings natural leadership, suited to large platforms and senior positions.
Summary
Zi Wei in the Children Palace gives children nobility, often one who is outstanding and a natural leader, independent with high self-esteem. With Zuo Fu and You Bi assisting, children have bright prospects and even greater nobility; alone without assistants, children are few and lonely, and with Kong and Jie the old book speaks of a lonely ruler. Fallen, invest more actively in the bond. Be both teacher and friend to your children and guide them gradually, since forcing them only brings resistance.

Core reading
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.
