Tian Yao

Tian Yao is Water, a 'side peach-blossom' star ruling charm, allure, amorousness, sociability, and cleverness. Unlike the true peach-blossom (Hong Luan, Tian Xi) that leads to marriage and celebration, Tian Yao leans to 'attraction and romance', prizing the magnetism itself over the result. In the Self palace it gives a witty, charming, perceptive, silver-tongued, and very appealing nature. Used well it favours PR, performance, and charm-and-social trades; used poorly, or with Xian Chi or Wen Qu, it brings impulsive feeling, many dalliances, and romantic disputes.

In the Self palace, Tian Yao gives a magnetic, witty, talkative, socially adept, very appealing nature, lending the main star allure and warmth — good for PR, performance, sales, and diplomacy. But its side peach-blossom makes the love life richer and more complex, drawing romantic trouble through charm, so it needs self-discipline. With Xian Chi, Wen Qu, or Tan Lang the peach-blossom stacks, raising both allure and affairs; in the Spouse palace the love life is vivid and changeful, so tell playful flirtation from true feeling.
