XinggeThe Player you know
You probably know someone with this star.
Tan Lang transforms into Peach Blossom, here meaning attraction in the broadest sense. A friend with a strong Tan Lang picks things up fast: guitar, photography, a new language, they have tried them all, and they make friends wherever they go.
They want a lot, so they need to choose.
Four spectrums
The spectrums are our modern way of drawing the stars. The method is public; it isn't from the classical texts.
What the classics say
The star of desire: multi-talented and sociable, wanting a lot from life.
Classical keywords: Transforms into Peach Blossom; the star of desire. Many talents, sociability, appetite and a quick learner; it also rules speculation.
In the twelve palaces
The same Tan Lang says different things in different palaces.
Life Palace
You're multi-talented, sociable and full of desires, eager to try everything. Your charm is strong, but you get distracted easily.
Spouse Palace
Romance comes easily, and you like interesting, charismatic people. Love arrives fast, so make sure you can hold on to it.
Wealth Palace
You earn through connections and talents, with lots of chances and lots of spending. Windfalls do come your way, but don't mistake luck for skill.
Career Palace
You suit sales, entertainment, creative work and PR, jobs that run on charm and savvy. Turn your talent into real expertise if you want to stay in demand.

Siblings Palace
You have a great time with peers, eating, drinking and going out together. It's just that few of them are truly close.
Children Palace
Your children or students are talented and lively, and you make learning fun. You don't manage them much, though, so someone needs to supply the rules.
Health Palace
Your biggest risk is overindulgence: food, drink, late nights and partying too hard all add up. After you've had your fun, remember to rein it in.
Travel Palace
Your social skills away from home are first-rate, and networking events are your stage. After the buzz, come back to your own rhythm.
Friends Palace
Your circle of friends is huge and includes people from every walk of life. Choosing the right people matters more than how many you know.
Property Palace
You like a lively, well-decorated home and spend freely on comfort. Buying property often comes after spending first and saving later; later is steadier.
Fortune Palace
You have wide interests and many desires, and your joy comes from novelty. Be careful that more play doesn't leave you feeling emptier.
Parents Palace
You and your elders are like friends who don't fuss over each other much. Being relaxed is fine, but say the heartfelt things too.
These are readings for Tan Lang alone in a palace. With other stars beside it, the reading changes.
