The twelve palaces
The Children Palace: creation and the young
The Children palace covers what you nurture and create—children, students, projects and play.
What it shows
How you nurture others, your creations and long-term projects
Worth keeping in mind
When you nurture others or a project, hopes and reality often differ; smaller goals and valuing the process ease the pressure.
No palace is read alone. Read Children together with the palace opposite it, Property, and the two that form its triangle, Friends and Parents.
