Before You Start

Start with your child's natural traits, then add the adult's support perspective.

The system uses both sets of birth details to build a complete model. Your child's chart stays as the main reading; the adult chart is used only as a reference for reminders, stress responses, and communication boundaries.

FlowThree steps to set up the report
  1. 1Child details: import your child's birth information as the core of the reading.
  2. 2Adult details: add the adult reference parameters so the system can compare how both sides interact.
  3. 3Current situation: choose the daily friction or concern you want to work through first.
Child FirstRead the child's hidden needs first, then align the adult's guidance style.
Parent MirrorUse the adult chart to notice communication blind spots and boundary habits.
ScenarioFocus on real daily situations such as homework, emotions, sleep, and peers.
Next StepTurn the reading into practical guidance you can try right away.

Create Report

Create a Parent-child Interaction Report

Enter both sets of birth details in order. The system will center the child's traits, then use the adult chart to compare interaction patterns, communication gaps, and the guidance style that fits best.

Child as the core, adult as the support referenceThe report first reads what the child is naturally carrying, then returns to the caregiver's perspective with concrete suggestions for communication and boundaries.

Child Primary Chart

Child Details

This is the foundation of the whole reading. The system uses it to understand the child's sense of safety, learning preferences, emotional recovery style, and the blind spots most likely to cause misunderstandings.

Q&A

Not sure what to ask about your child? Try these

Your child's chart points to their natural temperament and gifts — just ask the parenting question you keep circling back to.

Your kid hangs back at parties and takes forever to warm up, and you can't tell if it's a phase or just who they are.

You can ask：My kid hangs back at parties and takes forever to warm up to people, and I can't tell if it's a phase or just who they are — is my child shy and slow-to-warm by nature according to their chart, or is it something they'll grow out of, and how should I support them?

Your once-sweet kid has hit the teenage years and the door-slamming has you bracing for the long haul.

You can ask：My once-sweet kid has hit the teenage years and the door-slamming has me bracing for the long haul — what does my teen's chart say about this rebellious phase, when does it start to ease up, and how should I handle them in the meantime?

Since the new baby arrived, your older child has been acting out and clinging, convinced you love the little one more.

You can ask：Since the new baby arrived, my older child has been acting out and clinging, convinced I love the little one more — is this jealousy and need for reassurance part of their nature, and how do I read their chart and respond so they feel just as loved?

You're losing the battle over screen time and worried about their focus and attention span.

You can ask：I'm losing the battle over screen time and I'm worried about my child's focus and attention span — does their chart show they're prone to screen addiction or attention issues, and what does it suggest I do to help them focus?

You want to nurture your child's strengths but you're guessing in the dark about what they're actually good at.

You can ask：I want to nurture my child's strengths but I'm guessing in the dark about what they're actually good at — what are my child's natural talents according to their chart, and what activities or skills are they best suited to learn?

Primary Child Reading

Step away from comparison anxiety and return to the child’s natural traits.

The system first highlights the three kinds of support the child may need most, then compares the adult support chart to show which communication methods land well and which phrases may backfire.

  • Core source of safety and possible communication blind spots
  • Gaps between the adult’s expression style and the child’s receiving frequency
  • Companion strategies you can gradually try over the next six months

After Report

Keep recording, sharing, and asking after the report is generated

Parent-child interaction is not a one-time answer. As situations change, you can return to add updates, edit notes, and share the report with family, so each experience keeps building context.

01Import chartsQuickly select the child and adult charts from your account.
02Edit reportRefine headings, chapter highlights, and family notes.
03Share linkInvite another caregiver to read the report together.

From report generation to family reading, keep every clue of growth

Import both charts, mark the key sections, and share with another caregiver when needed. When new homework, sleep, emotion, or peer challenges appear, you can come back to the same report to ask follow-up questions and save the context.

  • The child chart always remains the main reading; adult details are only used for support comparison.
  • After generation, you can customize summaries and family notes into a version that is easier to read together.
  • Sharing and follow-up questions keep the history, making it easier to review how the interaction has changed.

FAQ

A regular reading talks about a whole life from the person's own perspective. The parent-child reading focuses on your child's innate temperament, emotional needs, and interaction boundaries, written from a parent's point of view — the goal is how to accompany them, not to judge their life.

From 0 to 18. If your child is 13 or older and you ask about the next ten-year cycle, the content starts to overlap with adult topics — the adult career, love, or decade reports fit better there.

The parent-child reading is built on your child's own chart, so their birth hour is required — birth certificates usually record it. If you truly cannot confirm it, start with the Relationships reading at /en/ziwei/social: enter your child as the other person and mark their birth time unsure, and the analysis falls back to a year-based Tai Sui method.

The report describes innate tendencies and needs, not ability ceilings. Every paragraph maps to actual stars in the chart and comes with concrete interaction advice — it helps you understand your child, not box them in.

Personality tests rely on self-reporting, which young children cannot do reliably. Zi Wei Dou Shu reads the birth chart from date and time of birth — no questionnaire needed, so it works even for infants.

Usually 2-5 minutes depending on server load. Once ready, you can read it any time in My Reports.

Start Reading

Clarify their original traits and find a more comfortable way to support them.

By combining both charts, the system compares the interaction patterns and suggests a better way forward. Step away from standard formulas so communication and companionship can actually work.

Children Palace parenting guide

How to read the Children Palace: your child’s born temperament

Many people think the Children Palace only shows how many children you will have. It actually reflects your child’s born temperament and the bond and rhythm between you. The same sentence can encourage one child and pressure another — the difference is often in their chart.

Below are common tendencies when the 14 major stars sit in the Children Palace, with a direction for how to support each. A full parent-child reading also compares your chart with your child’s to find where you fall out of sync and the parenting rhythm that fits this specific child.

Major stars in the Children Palace: temperament and support

StarBorn tendencyHow to support
Zi WeiStrong-willed, mature, cares about faceOffer respect and choices; avoid public scolding
Tian JiBright, ideas-driven, overthinksTalk it through; take their “why” seriously
Tai YangWarm, expressive, loyalGive a stage and recognition
Wu QuPractical, stubborn, not clingyLead by action; give clear rules
Tian TongGentle, slow to warm, easygoingEncourage; don’t push too hard
Tan LangMulti-talented, lively, restlessOffer varied experiences; don’t suppress curiosity

What a parent-child reading covers

More than “how many children”

The Children Palace reflects your child’s temperament, your bond, and how you relate to them. The number of children is a small part; understanding who this child is matters more.

Parenting is a form of synastry

A full reading centers the child’s chart with the parent’s as reference, comparing both to find where you fall out of sync — often not anyone’s fault, just different wiring.

Timing matters

A child’s cycles change too. Some are clingy young then suddenly independent; some are calm until a specific stage. Reading timing tells you when to let go and when to lean in.
