Red Charm 紅艶殺
Red Charm is an energy that makes you look attractive to the opposite sex. It is set by your Day Master.
What Red Charm means
As the name, a rich and pretty red, suggests, Red Charm means a charm that draws the eye of the opposite sex. It is similar to Peach Blossom, but where Peach Blossom is a popularity that works on everyone, Red Charm is read as an atmosphere that especially attracts the opposite sex. Old books described it as the star of refined taste and tenderness.

People with Red Charm
People with the Red Charm star are warm and soft. They speak prettily and have a knack for putting others at ease. They have an eye for style, and even when they aren't aware of it, they often hear that they have a certain aura.
In love
You have a strong pull in winning over the opposite sex, so chances to date come often. With Red Charm in the Day Branch, the bond with your spouse is read as deep. But the more goodwill you attract, the more misunderstandings come with it, so it is best to draw a clear line with anyone you have no feelings for.
Work and career
You shine in work where being liked is the skill: service, beauty, fashion, broadcasting, and counseling. The knack for putting people at ease is also a big asset in sales and negotiation.
Things to watch
Keep work and private life separate so that romantic matters don't spill into work. If Red Charm is hit by a clash or there are several of them, relationships with the opposite sex are read as getting complicated, so the habit of being clear when you start and end a relationship is what turns Red Charm into a blessing.
Common questions
What if I have both the Red Charm and Peach Blossom stars?
It is read as a double layer of charm. With so much pull on people, it helps to have a job that uses it, and being clear about boundaries in private relationships matters even more.
