Star of appetite · Wood

Tan Lang (the Wolf)

Wanting a taste of everything

Strong appetites, scattered interests, quick at picking anything up, and likeable — you do well in company. There's a liveliness to you; time with you isn't dull. Aimed well, that drive can make something nobody else would have made. Aimed badly, it's flowers everywhere and fruit nowhere — you want too much and there is only one allotment of time. You're also easily led by whatever feels good soonest.

In the Self palace: where you move easily

• You pick things up fast, and the range of what you know gives you angles others don't have.
• You move easily in social situations and know where the line is.
• Your enthusiasm is real, and it lights up the people around you.

In the Self palace: what it tends to cost

• You want too many things at once, so you only ever touch the surface of each.
• Your resistance to immediate pleasure is weak, and the real work gets eaten by it.
• There's calculation mixed into your warmth, and sometimes you can't tell which is which either.

In another palace

In another palace, that's where your appetite runs strongest — and where it most easily runs away.
