Tai Sui - Year of Pig(2007)
Tai Sui is also known as the Great Duke Jupiter. Although it is called the Great Duke Jupiter, it does not represent the actual planet Jupiter. Tai Sui is an intangible star which moves directly opposite of the planet Jupiter. When translated from Chinese, the Tai Sui is known as the Yearly God. Tai Sui is the most powerful "Earthly God". There is a total of 60 Tai Sui.

Each year, there would be a new Yearly God on duty looking after all matters on earth. His appointment would commence on the 1st solar term or called li chun, in Chinese. And the next would take over the task on the following li chun. In this year of Fire Pig 2007, the Tai Sui is known as Feng-1 Qi-2.

Each year there will be some zodiac sign that has opposing forces with the Tai Sui. These zodiac sign are said to suffer some form of bad fortune. The negative impact differs from people to people depending on individual birth data. These zodiac sign can be determined base on the earthly branch of the year as it corresponds with the 12 Chinese zodiac sign. It can classified under offend, clash or conflict formation with the Tai Sui. See table below:

Classification Zodiac Sign
Offend Pig
Clash Snake
Conflict Tiger & Monkey


Besides, the zodiac signs mentioned above, if one's 4 pillar of destiny or known as ba zi contains factors of these zodiac sign within the earthly branch, the person is also deem to be affected for the year. Thus, there is also clash, conflict and or offend of either the month, day or hour pillar.

In the Taoist practice, praying to the Tai Sui at the beginning of the Lunar Year seeking for protection and peace would deflect the negative influence. One must return thanks at the end of the year.

The theory of the influence of the Greak Duke Jupiter is also used in fengshui. In fact it is an important aspect of concern. It is associated to the orientation of a premise determined using the Chinese Fengshui Compass known as Luo Pan marked with the 24 mountains. The position of the Tai Sui changes every year. The location where the Tai Sui resides should best kept quiet with no disturbance. Activities like renovation, ground breaking, earth digging, repairing and nailing on this area must be avoided till the following year. If the Tai Sui is disturbed, misfortune would befall on the residence such as injuries, financial losses, business failure or sudden illnesses. The extend of influence varies.

This year of Pig, the Tai Sui is located at 323 to 337.5 degree of the Northwest. If the main entrance of a premise is located at this specific degree, opening and closing of door is also considered as disturbing the Tai Sui.

More details about the Tai Sui will be shared on the Talk coming up on 20 Jan 2007.
