Sickness Tally

Sickness Tally (病符) is a secondary star representing the Earth carrying Wood element, signifying a primary and pervasive influence related to illness and physical weakness. Its energy is inherently weak and sad, governing matters of sickness, chronic health issues, and susceptibility to disease. In Purple Star Astrology, it is considered an inauspicious star that draws attention to vulnerabilities in one's constitution and the potential for health-related misfortunes or lingering ailments.

Sickness Tally's primary influence is on the domain of health, overshadowing other life areas when it becomes active. Its presence in a chart advises caution regarding one's physical well-being and can imply that career, wealth, and relationship matters may be negatively impacted by periods of illness or lack of vitality. Its conjunction with certain stars, like the Peach Blossom or Heavenly Jealousy, is classically noted to warn of specific ailments such as venereal diseases, adding a layer of specificity to its cautionary role.

Its influence is most acute when residing in the Life, Body, or Sickness Palace, directly indicating personal health. In other palaces, it signals areas of life that may be 'sick' or weakened, such as career obstacles or relationship troubles.
