The Flower of Romance Star is often confused with the Peach Blossom Star because it addresses love and relationships and the ultimate destiny of one’s love life.

Therefore when you find this star in your chart, it is a positive indication of marriage in your life.

Self Penalties:
The Dragon, Horse, Boar and Rooster are 4 animal signs that cannot stand to their own company, thus when there are 2 Dragons, or 2 Roosters in your chart, it means that you are afflicted with the self penalty. It indicates a lack of self progress, distraction, lack of confidence in your decision-making, as well as arguments and fights. It is very bad for marriage luck when found between the Day and Year Pillars. To remedy, you need to carry a figurine of your secret friend with you at all times.
The 2 Penalty – Rat and Rabbit Fights:
This is the most damaging of the animal sign penalties, as it hurts the relationship between you and your family members. When found between the Day and Hour Pillars, it can mean that your children do not get along with you, and would like leave the family once they have grown up. When found between the Day and Month Pillar, it means that you will not get along with your parents and in-laws. At its worst, the 2 penalties can break up the family and therefore bring about difficulty both in getting married, as well as in staying married.

Marriages will also be conflicting unless this person marries his secret friend the Ox or one of his allies, the Dragon or Monkey (marrying the Monkey means difficulty in having children).
