As written in the Shenjing Sutra, Taisui is the deity in charge of good and bad luck in the mortal realm. Thus, Taisui is the deity that affects people most directly. Therefore, those marked to give assuagement offerings in the current year should do so in order to prevent bad luck in the coming year. By following the assuagement (An Taisui) ritual, one may ask Taisui to look over and bless them during that year and to prevent falling under bad omens.
