What Is Peach Blossom?
Tao Hua (Peach Blossom), also known as "Xian Chi," is a Shen Sha in Destiny Analysis representing romantic affinity, opposite-sex attraction, and interpersonal charm. A chart containing Peach Blossom indicates that the chart holder is typically physically attractive, easily draws attention from the opposite sex, and has active interpersonal relationships — though it may also bring romantic complications.
