Frequent mourning affairs; repeated sadness and loss
"The Sang-Diao Stars (Sang Men and Diao Ke), also known as the Xian Chi Stars. Taking the position two branches ahead of the Life Branch constitutes Sang Men, and two branches behind the Life Branch constitutes Diao Ke. When these stars coincide with the Tai Sui (Grand Duke) or other ominous stars in the Great Luck or Small Luck limits, they inevitably indicate disaster. The ancient poem says: 'Fifth is Official, Sixth is Death, Twelfth is Illness; Third is Sang (Funeral) and Eleventh is Diao (Hanging) arriving.'"
Sang Men governs funeral affairs and mourning attire; it is one of the ominous stars in BaZi. The ancients discussed Sang Men and Diao Ke together, referring to them as the "Sang-Diao Stars" or "Xian Chi Stars." Sang Men is located two positions ahead of the Life Palace (Year Branch), symbolizing a deep connection with death and funeral events. Those with Sang Men in their destiny are prone to encountering the passing of relatives and friends throughout their lives, frequently wearing mourning clothes, and often feeling depressed or sorrowful.
When the ominous stars of Tai Sui coincide with Sang Men in the Great Luck or Annual Luck limits, it indicates the occurrence of disasters. This star is most dreaded when appearing in the same pillar as Si Fu (Death Charm) or Bai Hu (White Tiger), indicating many disasters for family members. However, Sang Men also signifies a strong sense of compassion and the ability to empathize with the pain of others. In modern society, special attention should be paid to the health and safety of family members. One should be cautious during unfavorable years, and it is suggested to perform good deeds and accumulate virtue to resolve the ominous energy.
