Tai Sui Grand Duke Jupiter

Learn who is Tai Sui (太岁) - Grand Duke Jupiter. Free Feng Shui
Information to appease him.

Tai Sui, also known as Grand Duke Jupiter or Grand Commander of the Year is probably one of the most
highly respected and feared deity in the Chinese beliefs. It is said that if your Zodiac animal clashes with the
Tai Sui or you have inadvertently offended him, bad luck will befall you for the whole year. In order to have a
good and peaceful year, you need to pay your respect to the Tai Sui.

There are two diverging explanation on the origin of Tai Sui. According to the scientific school of thought the
Tai Sui phenomena is attributable to the movement of Jupiter (hence the name Grand Duke Jupiter), which
impacts the magnetic field around us, depending on the year we were born.

Whereas in the Chinese mythology, the Grand Duke Jupiter or more

commonly known as Tai Sui （ 太 岁 ) is actually a position in the celestial heavens which is in charge of the
world's affairs for a particular year, i.e determining the annual fortunes of all of us mortal beings. Just as the
Jade Emperor is the Ruler of Heaven, the year Tai Sui is the Ruler of Earth. The above is related to the Taoist
calendar which is organized into a series of twelve Earthly Branches (the Chinese Zodiac animals) rotating in
accordance to the five elements, resulting in a 60 year cycle. And in other words, there are 60 heavenly
generals who would rotate to take up this almighty position. A person's happiness, health, luck and fortune are
all under his watchful eye. It actually serves as a reminder to stay away from evil activities, to take good care
of health and to perform more caring activities. The year Tai Sui will take note of all the good deeds and
misdeeds of everyone. In 2017, the ruling Tai Sui is General Tang Jie (唐杰).

Therefore irrespective of whether Tai Sui is a deity or a star (a “body of energy”), it pays to heed the location
of the Tai Sui of the year so as not to inadvertently disturb him (or it!). An offended Tai Sui will cause
misfortunes, from mild to the severe kind. Every year two of the Zodiac animals must take steps to appease
the Tai Sui because one is directly afflicted (sitting) whilst the other is directly in conflict (facing) with the
Grand Duke. As Tai Sui is always located in the same compass direction as the Year Animal Sign, this is the
afflicted Zodiac whilst the sign in the diagonally opposite sector is said to be in conflict with Tai Sui. In 2017
Rooster year for instance, the position of Tai Sui is at West 2 (home sector of the Rooster), so those born in
the year of the Rooster are directly afflicted with Tai Sui whilst the Rabbit which is located in East 2 is in direct
conflict with Tai Sui. Additionally, the Horse (South 2) and Rat (North 2) are indirectly in conflict with Tai Sui.

What this means is that you have incurred the wrath of Tai Sui (or in some kind of energy conflict with the
ruling star, if you like) and remedial steps must be taken to appease him and preventive measures carried out
to avoid further offending him. The basic rules to remember are:

To ensure that the year a smooth and rewarding year ahead, remedial steps must be taken to appease him
and preventive measures carried out to avoid further offending him. The essential rules to remember are:
To mitigate the above, it is significant the following be observed:

 Tai Sui is particularly sensitive about direct confrontation. Try not to sit facing or sleep with
your head pointing to the direction of Grand Duke Jupiter.
 Tai Sui dislikes noise and commotion. Avoid construction work including repair work, in the
Tai Sui location.
 Tai Sui is very fond of his pet, the Pi Yao. Appease him by placing the Pi Yao in the affected
sector or just wear the Pi Yao as an amulet.
 You never know when and where you have offended Tai Sui. Just in case, carry protective
amulets – sacred talisman from temples, Pi Yao, Tai Sui Image or Tai Sui Mantra.
 Perform An Tai Sui or Pacifying Tai Sui ritual to neutralize influences and blessings,
protection and good fortune throughout the year.
 Get help from your Zodiac secret friends and allies to overcome challenges, protect against
harm and provide great strength for persistency.

To help you plan ahead, the position of the ruling Tai Sui in the recent past and coming years are as follows:
