The term ‘六甲’ refers to six deities, namely, ‘甲子, 甲寅, 甲辰, 甲午, 甲申, 甲戌,’ . One of their duties is to bless pregnant women and their unborn children. Many pregnant women carry the ‘六甲安胎符’ (Six Guardians of Pregnancy Talisman) in the hope of ensuring the safety and peace of mind for both mother and child.
This talisman helps protect the mother and fetus from harm and danger.
