Children (子孙)

The six relations · Tendency: Auspicious

What it means

Children (Zi Sun) are those that I generate. They are the spirit of blessing, the spirit that restrains ghosts, and the spirit that relieves worries—the most auspicious among the six relatives. In illness, they represent medicine; when active, they suppress official ghosts and bring recovery. In matters of travel, trade, marriage, and childbirth, they are mostly auspicious. However, they are also the spirit that strips official positions, so in matters of fame and rank, their movement is feared, hence 'Do not use them when seeking advancement or nobility.' If the Children line is strong and holds the world, it mainly indicates abundant resources and escape from disaster.
