贪狼仆役Tān Láng in Pú Yì — also called the Servants palace
Purple Star editorial · Reviewed
The Charmer (贪狼 Tān Láng) in the Friends palace (仆役, the Servants palace) — friends, networks, subordinates: Your circle is wide and full of talented, appetite-driven people, and the social life is busy — but the wine-and-pleasure crowd carries real influence, so choose your company well.
The Friends palace covers your wider circle — friends, networks and the people who work under you. A star here describes the company you keep and how it serves you.
What it means
In the Friends palace your circle is wide and full of talented, appetite-driven people, and the social life is busy — but the wine-and-pleasure crowd carries real influence, so choose your company well. With Hua Prosperity, the network brings money.
The shadow side
Under Hua Ji, friends bring appetite-fuelled trouble and a partnership breaks over money.
The Four Transformations四化 Si Hua — four stars in your chart receive a special charge from your birth-year stem: Flow 禄 (ease), Power 权 (control), Merit 科 (recognition), Obstacle 忌 (friction). (四化) — Flow, Power, Merit and Obstacle — can sharpen or soften any of this depending on your exact birth year. Your own chart shows which are active.
From the classics
「贪狼在亥子，方为正格桃花」
Only in the Pig and Rat palaces is Tan Lang a true star of desire — elsewhere its romantic, indulgent side is far weaker and its martial, driven side comes forward.
