There is so much more to Chinese astrology than the 12 zodiac animals. Most of us know our Chinese animal, and perhaps we even know who our allies and enemies are among them. But there is SO much more that our Chinese astrology chart can tell us about our character, our destiny, our passions and peeves, our auspicious times, days, months and years (and the less auspicious ones), the colours that support us, and, of course, the romance factor in our life. This romance factor is known as our 'Peach Blossom' star in Chinese astrology. Here, we reveal more about it.
What does the Peach Blossom star mean?
In Chinese astrology, 'Peach Blossom' (桃花, Taohua) refers to a particular astrological star or influence that signifies romantic attraction, charm, and social popularity. It is often associated with love, beauty, and relationships. We each have a Peach Blossom star that is uniquely placed in our Chinese astrology chart.
The symbolism of the Peach Blossom
You may have come across vases of peach blossom and polished jade peach tree ornaments in your local Chinese store or restaurant. In Chinese folklore, peach trees symbolise vitality, longevity, romance - they represent juicy sweetness in life. This folklore is the basis for Peach Blossom in Chinese astrology. Our Peach Blossom star is believed to bring increased charm and attractiveness, making us more appealing and magnetic.

What your Peach Blossom says about you
We all know someone who has bags of appeal; they are incredibly popular, exuding a magnetic quality that draws people towards them. They also have no difficulty in finding a romantic partner!

Steering clear of the Peach Blossom shadow

However, the Peach Blossom star has a shadow in that it can also influence infidelity, promiscuity, fleeting romances and flighty love affairs. In the same way that we can use Feng Shui in our home to improve our Peach Blossom's romance factor, we can also use techniques to keep our Peach Blossom on track in terms of building firm foundations for our long-term relationships and happy social life.
