Xian Chi

Xian Chi is Water, also the 'Peach-Blossom Sha', a 'side peach-blossom' star ruling wine-and-beauty, desire, sensuality, and artistic infectiousness. Like Tian Yao it is side peach-blossom, but Xian Chi leans more to the 'sensual, carnal' side — Tian Yao prizing allure, Xian Chi desire and indulgence. In the Self palace it gives a sensitive, passionate nature with artistic gift, sensual magnetism, and strong appeal. Used well it favours art, music, sensual creation, and aesthetics; used poorly, or with Tian Yao, Wen Qu, or Tan Lang, desire deepens into indulgence, wine-and-beauty troubles, and entanglement, needing reason to balance it.

In the Self palace, Xian Chi gives a sensitive, passionate, artistically and aesthetically gifted, sensually magnetic, and strongly appealing nature, lending the main star sensual charm and an artistic air — good for art, music, design, and performance. But as the 'Peach-Blossom Sha', its desire runs heavy, prone to indulgence and impulsive feeling, so guard against wine-and-beauty pitfalls and romantic disputes. With Tian Yao, Wen Qu, or Tan Lang the allure and desire stack higher, needing reason and discipline to channel the sensuality into creation rather than indulgence.
