At the break of dawn, the tiger, horse, and dog emerge from their humble abodes, while the monkey, rat, and rabbit disrupt the harmony with their clamorous calls. The pig, rabbit, and goat take their seats at the forefront, while the snake, rooster, and ox gallop towards the southern horizon. In the realm of celestial stems, the flowers blossom in You during the Zi hour, in Mao during the Yin hour, in Wu during the Si hour, and in Zi during the Hai hour.
To decipher this celestial code: examine the other earthly branches in the Four Pillars based on the year or day branch; those found shall be deemed significant.
The concept of Xian Chi encompasses the symbolism of the sun’s entry, describing the obscure moment when “the sun rises in the eastern sky and enters the Xian Chi.” Hence, the bathing ground for the Five Elements is referred to as Xian Chi, also known as Peach Blossom. It predominantly influences one’s emotions, desires, allure, love life, and entails covert, shadowy, and alcoholic influences. Individuals with Peach Blossom in their destiny are clever, empathetic, and art-loving, possessing a penchant for romantic affairs. Should Peach Blossom appear in the Bazi and reside in a flourishing position, it signifies a person of striking appearance and generosity for men, while women exude charm and attractiveness. Peach Blossom is indicative of intelligence, romantic elegance, and excellent opposite-sex relationships. It is crucial to avoid encounters with water, as it may lead to excessive sensuality and beauty, especially for those born in the years of Shen, Zi, or Chen during Gui You or Hai Zi. In terms of hourly branches, Peach Blossom should be approached cautiously if combined with Hurting Officer, as it exacerbates the harm inflicted upon the Officer Star (spouse star), potentially resulting in multiple marriages or an unsatisfactory marital life.
For female destinies adorned with Peach Blossom harmonizing with their branches, an outwardly respectable appearance may cloak an inner proclivity for romance and indulgence in worldly pleasures. If the original Bazi includes Hurting Officer and abundant Indirect Wealth, the individual may display excessive sentimentality. Additionally, if there is a repeated appearance of original Water and Metal branches in the Zi, Chen, or Hai, it intensifies the influence of Peach Blossom, as Metal and Water denote sentimental and righteous tendencies. Peach Blossom accompanied by Yang Ren, such as Jia Xu encountering Mao named Xian Chi Peach Blossom, or Geng Shen and Geng Chen encountering You, also falls under the category of Peach Blossom and Yang Ren. This suggests that the person is versatile but may suffer from numerous illnesses. If a female’s Peach Blossom is accompanied by Seven Kills and coincides with a thriving or absent husband, flourishing official stars, or a depletion of Hurting Officer, it may indicate the potential for a promiscuous lifestyle, akin to that of a courtesan. The abode of peach blossoms dwells within the realm of seasons, where in months it assumes the guise of “peach blossoms within the wall,” while in days it transforms into “peach blossoms beyond the wall,” ripe for all to pluck.
Peach blossoms delight in the company of upright officials and authentic seals within the same pillar: indicative of one’s self-discipline, guarding against excess. They delight in the presence of the food element within the same pillar: suggesting a penchant for channeling desires into literary and artistic talents. They avoid the conjunction with the seven killings: signifying susceptibility to sexual crimes, with women falling into the pit of worldly desires, dragged into the whirl of seduction and sent to and fro in the realm of allure. When aligned with the harming officer: indicating a propensity for novelty, a tendency to rely on one’s charm and beauty, pursuing fleeting pleasures, thereby becoming demons of lust. In tandem with the wealth element: daring in love and hate, resorting to drastic measures for love, fostering jealousy and leading to amorous entanglements. Alongside the partial seal: prone to self-indulgence, indulging in fantasies and same-sex relationships. When paired with the peer element: reveling in solitary appreciation, embracing a life of solitude.
From the first month to the third month lies the season of Yangchun, the prime time for peach blossoms to bloom, hence christened as “Peach Blossom Spring.”
