The Greedy Wolf
贪狼 · The Charmer-Seeker
“Hunger is your engine.”
Greedy Wolf — 贪狼 — is the star of appetite. People with this star in their Life Palace want — taste, beauty, experience, attention, novelty, intensity, knowledge. The wanting itself is the engine. You probably can't sit still in a job that doesn't change, a relationship that's gone flat, or a city you've fully figured out. Your strength is range: you're often shockingly competent across domains, because the same hunger that pulls you toward people pulls you toward skills. Your shadow is scatter — the same appetite that makes you interesting can make you hard to pin down, hard to commit, hard to finish. Greedy Wolf is the classical 'first peach blossom' star (桃花) — magnetic, often beautiful, the kind of person rooms reorganize around. The classical guidance: the wolf is at its best when it's chasing the right prey. Pick one big game and let the smaller hunts feed it. The danger is wanting in twelve directions and ending up nowhere.
