Wait till you learn about the Chinese astrological concept of Tai Sui if you think Mercury Retrogrades are difficult to handle. In contrast to Mercury’s short-term declines, Tai Sui’s influence lasts for a full year and has the potential to significantly affect your luck in many spheres of life, including love, money, and health. In order to prevent more turbulence, those who are impacted by Tai Sui are recommended to use extreme caution in whatever they undertake.
Fortunately, this occurrence only happens once every many years. Additionally, there are treatments, including as prayers and gifts, that you can use to placate the whims of this strong deity throughout your year of conflict with Tai Sui, known as “Fan Tai Sui.”
Tai Sui: What is it?
Tai Sui is the Guardian God of the Year in Chinese astrology. A given year’s fortunes are all governed by Tai Sui. Each of the 60 Tai Sui is a personification of a heavenly general who serves the Jade Emperor. According to the ancient Chinese calendar of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, they represent the 60-year cycle.
These gods, who are reverently known as “Liu Nian Tai Sui,” rule in succession, each having a year-long turn. This cycle was first charted based on Jupiter’s orbit around the sun, which occurs once every twelve years. Accordingly, in Chinese astrology, Tai Sui also corresponds with the 12 zodiac animals. This establishes who is impacted by the year’s “Zodiac Tai Sui.”
Additionally, each Tai Sui god is connected to a certain direction. This establishes the annual Feng Shui Tai Sui, which is particularly crucial to consider when building a new home or remodeling an existing one.
Fan Tai Sui: Disrespecting Tai Sui’s God
Your luck may not be as good as it has been in previous years if you have offended or clashed with the God of Tai Sui, which is known as fan tai sui. There are two kinds of Fan Tai Sui that you should be aware of.
Tai Sui Zodiac
Your zodiac sign will decide which Fan Tai Sui category you fall under: Zodiac Tai Sui. As a general rule, Fan Tai Sui will always have an impact on those who were born in the same zodiac as the current year, which is known as “Ben Ming Nian.” Once every twelve years, this occurs. There are often three or four other zodiac signs that also conflict with the year’s dominant zodiac, thus individuals in Ben Ming Nian are fortunately not alone. In luck, all of these organizations will have to be on the lookout for instability.
2024 is known as the Year of the Dragon. In order to avoid major setbacks in all of these areas, people born in the preceding Years of the Dragon, such as 1988, 2000, and 2012, will need to take particular care of their health and make an effort to act wisely in issues of love and profession. Additionally, people born under the signs of Ox, Snake, and Dog will also experience misfortune or at the very least, small irritations.
Tai Sui and Feng Shui

Solutions: How to Prevent Fan Tai Sui
Don’t freak out if your zodiac sign is in the Fan Tai Sui position for the next lunar year. These usually begin in January or February. Use caution and care in all that you do, and think about doing the following to please Tai Sui and request their blessing for a calm year.
Say a prayer.
It would be wise to begin the year by going to a temple to offer prayers for the peace and safety of Tai Sui. “An Tai Sui,” which translates to “appeasing the God of Tai Sui,” is the name given to this modest ritual, which is customarily performed on January 8 in the lunar calendar.
Put on an amulet.
To protect yourself against Tai Sui’s possible harmful effects, you can also get an amulet. Amulets typically feature the “pixiu,” a legendary Chinese animal that resembles a winged lion. It is reported that this animal consumes gold and silver in large quantities without ever spitting them out. It is said to be highly auspicious and might bring money and good fortune to the wearer. Pixiu can assist persons impacted by Fan Tai Sui in resolving any difficulties that may arise, particularly when it comes to financial concerns.
Work along with He Tai Sui
One sign, “He Tai Sui,” will have Tai Sui’s particular favor for the year even though the other five signs fight with the current Tai Sui. Try to make friends with those who have the compatible sign if you are under one of the conflicting signs. You can benefit from their good fortune and get some protection in this way. Pig is the fortunate zodiac sign for 2022.
Perform Good Actions
Help those in need and treat others with compassion and care, especially your elderly. Like building up positive karma, this might help you gain favor with Tai Sui.
Honor Tai Sui
It would be wise to establish a shrine in this direction of your home and give sacrifices to Tai Sui and the zodiac animal of the year, while also being careful not to disrupt Tai Sui in the northeast.
Put on some red.
Red is seen as fortunate in China and is connected to happy events like birthdays and weddings. Try incorporating the color into your attire if you are Fan Tai Sui for the year. For example, wear red items near your skin or wear the pixiu amulet on a red thread. This can protect you from Fan Tai Sui’s bad effects and provide you luck in unexpected ways!
