What is Tai Sui?
Tai Sui (太岁) is one of the most important concepts in Chinese astrology and Feng Shui. Literally meaning "Grand Duke Jupiter" or "Grand Year God," Tai Sui represents the powerful celestial authority that governs each year in the Chinese calendar cycle.
Each year has its own Tai Sui, represented by one of the 12 zodiac animals. The Tai Sui is believed to be a powerful deity that brings both blessings and challenges. When your zodiac sign conflicts with the year's Tai Sui, it's considered an inauspicious period that may bring obstacles, conflicts, or challenges that require extra caution and protection.
What is Fan Tai Sui?
Fan Tai Sui (犯太岁) means 'offending Tai Sui.' This occurs when your zodiac sign is in direct conflict with the year's Tai Sui. It's the most serious form of Tai Sui conflict, believed to bring the most challenges, obstacles, and potential conflicts throughout the year. Extra caution and protective measures are highly recommended.
What is Chong Tai Sui?
Chong Tai Sui (冲太岁) means 'clashing with Tai Sui.' This occurs when your zodiac sign is in a 'clash' relationship (6 positions apart) with the year's Tai Sui animal. It's considered a very challenging year that may bring sudden changes, conflicts, and instability. This requires careful planning and protection.
Fun Fact
In Chinese tradition, during years of Tai Sui conflict, many people wear red items, avoid making major life decisions, and perform special rituals to appease the Tai Sui and seek protection. Temples often offer Tai Sui appeasement ceremonies to help minimize the negative effects.
Understanding Tai Sui Conflicts
Tai Sui conflicts come in different levels of severity. Understanding these can help you prepare and take appropriate protective measures:
Ben Ming Nian (Direct Tai Sui)
When your zodiac sign matches the year's Tai Sui animal, it's called Ben Ming Nian (本命年). This is your zodiac year, occurring every 12 years. While it brings opportunities, it also requires extra caution as it's considered a challenging year with potential obstacles and changes.
Chong Tai Sui (Clash)
Chong Tai Sui occurs when your zodiac sign is 6 positions apart from the year's Tai Sui animal (opposite in the zodiac cycle). This creates a 'clash' relationship that may bring sudden changes, conflicts, instability, and challenges in relationships or career.
Harm Tai Sui (Minor Conflict)
Some zodiac signs have minor conflicts or 'harm' relationships with the year's Tai Sui. These are less severe than direct clashes but still require some caution and awareness throughout the year.
Neutral (No Conflict)
When your zodiac sign has no conflict with the year's Tai Sui, it's considered a neutral or harmonious year. These periods typically allow for smoother progress with fewer obstacles, though normal caution should still be exercised.
