Death Tally

The Death Tally star (死符) is a Fire element star in Purple Star Astrology. Its core nature is inherently sorrowful and obstructive. It governs matters related to mourning, death, and sadness, acting as a tally or signifier for such inauspicious events. In a destiny chart, its presence often indicates periods of stagnation, trouble, and emotional grief, causing obstacles in all endeavors. It is not a star of direct malice but rather one that marks a time of profound difficulty and loss, requiring careful navigation.

In career, Death Tally can indicate projects hitting roadblocks, conflicts, or a period where efforts feel futile. Regarding wealth, it may signal financial losses, difficulties in collecting money, or assets tied to unfortunate circumstances. In relationships, its influence often manifests as estrangement, deep sorrow within the family, or the emotional burden of grieving a loss. Its impact is most potent when activated during a challenging major or flowing year period.

When placed in a palace like the Property Palace, it may indicate valuables associated with legacy or inheritance, while in the Life Palace, it points to a personal temperament inclined towards deep sensitivity and forethought regarding mortality.
