The twelve palaces

Children palace 子女

The Children palace covers creativity, offspring and anything you birth into the world — including projects you raise like children.

子女 (Children palace) is about what you bring into the world: children, creative output, students, and long projects that need raising. Classical texts link it to legacy and fertility, but in modern reading it is broader: anything you nurture into independence.

The palace says a lot about how you parent — and how you treat your own creative work. Over-control and neglect show up here first.

It covers offspring and all creative output you raise into independence.
