Definition
桃花运 refers to romantic luck or a period of heightened romantic opportunity, often used for men. The term comes from peach blossoms (桃花), which symbolize romance in Chinese culture, and 运 (luck). In folk astrology, it can denote a specific interval when a person is predicted to have romantic success. It's a culturally loaded concept, not just 'good luck in love' — it implies a temporary stroke of romantic fortune.
