Everyone has a "guardian deity" determined by their zodiac sign, which protects them throughout their lifetime. Since there is a designated deity for each of the twelve zodiac signs, they are also called "guardian deities of the twelve zodiac signs." It is a tradition to pay respects to one's own zodiac deity, a custom that has been passed down since ancient times and is now widespread throughout the country. It is believed that by paying respects to one's own zodiac deity, one can enjoy peaceful days. Additionally, as it is considered auspicious to have items related to one's zodiac sign nearby, the guardian deity becomes an ideal talisman for good luck and protection. By spending time with the guardian deity, one can receive protection from disasters, various blessings, and the enhancement of their inherent good qualities while suppressing the negative ones.
