· Strategist in the Children palace — your children are clever, flexible and active.

· Complete Book, Volume 2, section on the Children palace: “The Strategist in a Temple or Prosperous position: two children, or many secondary children; the Great Gate: one; with the Heavenly Beam in the Tiger palace, two or three, while in the Monkey palace there are more daughters than sons and only one child; with the Moon, two or three; adding the Ram Blade, Hindrance, Fire Star, Bell Star, Earth Void and Earth Robbery, no children at all.” (Note: the Strategist and the Heavenly Beam share a palace only in the Dragon and Dog palaces; the Strategist in the Tiger and Monkey palaces always shares with the Moon, so the conditions “the Heavenly Beam sharing the Tiger palace” and “in the Monkey palace” in the original text do not match a real chart and remain to be studied.)

With Strategist in the Children palace, your children are bright and quick, flexible in mind and fast learners, but changeable by nature and not easily settled. One view takes Heavenly Beam as a Yang star standing for sons and Strategist as a Yin star standing for daughters. The old books say Strategist in a Temple position (at full strength in this position) means about two children. If Ram Blade, Hindrance, Fire Star, Bell Star, Earth Void and Earth Robbery are added, the old books write “entirely without children”. When living with your children you must give enough room for freedom: Strategist cannot bear being bound, and the tighter you press the stronger the reaction. When Strategist and Great Gate are both in the Children palace, one view says that with these two stars in the Children palace there is no son, that brothers exist but sons do not; the word “none” here means only no sons, not no children at all. The Great Gate entry in the Complete Book instead says “Strategist, with one person”, so the two views are set side by side.

Children are bright and quick, though not many in number. Meeting malefic stars, the old books say “entirely without children”.
