Some think the palace concerns only children, but everything you cultivate belongs there: students, new teammates, works and long projects.
What This Question Is Really Asking
The question is how to use it now: read creative results, teaching and mentoring and long projects, first reading the stars, then combining Property to see where results land.
The Underlying Logic
Traditionally it governs children, extended now to students, disciples and new teammates being cultivated.
It also governs creative results, works and projects invested in for a long time.
Exalted stars with auspicious meetings favor teaching, mentoring and creation.
It opposes Property: the nurtured people and results finally land in a home, space or assets.
A Step-by-Step Way to Read It
- First locate the Children Palace and stars, borrowing Property stars if empty
- Expand the scope from children to students, disciples and new teammates
- Then include works and long projects
- Read the stars to judge teaching and creation
- Combine Property to see where results land
- Use the decade to see when cultivated matters are harvested
Three Common Mistakes
Mistake 1: Narrowing it to only childbearing
Mistake 2: Missing students, works and long projects
Mistake 3: Reading only the stars without Property and the landing of results
Back to Your Own Chart
The Children Palace is the cultivation palace: beyond children, students, disciples, works and long projects belong there. Strong stars favor teaching and creation, then Property shows the landing, so you know where what you nurture finally rests.
Reading Order
- Cast the natal chart first and locate the palaces and major stars tied to the Children Palace for creation, teaching and mentoring before judging anything
- Open the triple-direction of those palaces and count the auspicious, malefic and assistant stars separately
- Check where the natal Four Transformations land to set the chart's baseline tone
- Read the decade-limit transformations to see whether the the Children Palace for creation, teaching and mentoring line is activated in this stage
- Then read the annual transformations and the year's palace to pin down this year's trigger and timing
- Layer natal, decade and year before concluding, then decide how to act rather than labeling good or bad
