Sorrow and mourning; easily weighed down emotionally
"Sang Diao Sha, also called Lan Guan Sha, takes the two branches before the Life Palace as Sang Men, and the two branches after the Life Palace as Diao Ke. If the Grand Duke’s inauspicious stars simultaneously arrive in the major and minor luck cycles, one is sure to wear mourning clothes. An ancient verse says: ‘Five words, six deaths, twelve illnesses; three Sang and eleven Diao arrive.’"
Diao Ke mainly signifies sorrow, grief, and low mood, and is one of the inauspicious stars among the Shen Sha of the Four Pillars. Diao Ke is located two positions behind the Life Palace, and together with Sang Men it is called “Sang Diao Sha” or “Lan Guan Sha.” Those whose chart carries Diao Ke tend to be more melancholic in temperament, easily become sentimental and worried, and are particularly sensitive to the unpleasant aspects of life. When this star appears together with Sang Men, it often indicates frequently attending funerals.
When the Grand Duke’s inauspicious stars appear together with Diao Ke in the major and minor luck cycles, it indicates that misfortunes are likely to occur. In the ancient verse “three Sang and eleven Diao arrive,” the “eleven” refers precisely to the specific position of Diao Ke among the twelve palaces. In modern life, those with Diao Ke should pay particular attention to emotional adjustment, avoid excessive pessimism, and when encountering unfavorable years should be especially cautious, participate more in positive and uplifting activities, and cultivate an optimistic mindset.
