贪狼福德Tān Láng in Fú Dé — also called the Fortune palace
Purple Star editorial · Reviewed
The Charmer (贪狼 Tān Láng) in the Wellbeing palace (福德, the Fortune palace) — inner life — happiness, mindset, blessings: The inner life is rich and plural, wide-ranging in its interests — food, pleasure, company, mastery — with a strong appetite for enjoyment; vivid, but easily flashy.
The Wellbeing palace is your inner weather: contentment, mindset, and the quality of your private hours. A star here describes what your mind reaches for when it is at rest.
What it means
In the Wellbeing palace the inner life is rich and plural, wide-ranging in its interests — food, pleasure, company, mastery — with a strong appetite for enjoyment; vivid, but easily flashy. With Hua Prosperity, the pleasures run smooth.
The shadow side
Under Hua Ji, the appetites go unsatisfied and the pull toward unhealthy habits grows; build a wholesome outlet for the spirit.
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.
