Tai Sui God


Tai Sui (太岁), short for Tai Sui God, is known as Jupiter. According to Chinese astrology, there are altogether 60 Tai Sui, and they are in charge of humans’ fortune in turn once every 60 years. In that year, the on-duty Tai Sui, also named Liu Nian Tai Sui, is regarded as the guardian God for everything, including one’s health, wealth, career and marriage. 

Every person has his/her own God of Taisui, which is called the person’s Ben Ming Tai Sui. This can influence the person’s whole life in various fields.

What is Fan Tai Sui?
Fan Tai Sui (trouble god) refers to offending the God of Tai Sui. If you are not very smooth at work, having a bad relationship, or suffering from poor physical condition, it may be because you are in the condition of Fan Tai Sui. You might have made some offense to the God, and they refuses to bless you and condemn you with misfortunes. 
Generally speaking, Fan Tai Sui is usually seen in two aspects: one in time aspect named Zodiac Fan Tai Sui, the other in space aspect called Feng Shui Fan Tai Sui.

Feng Shui Fan Tai Sui
If the place where you sleep or work does not meet Liu Nian Tai Sui’s requirements or hamper the path of their work execution, it is Feng Shui Fan Tai Sui. 
For instance, if the Liu Nian Tai Sui is located in northwest so the opposite southeast affronts him. To avert the misfortune, it is not advisable to do constructing works in both of the directions. The door, bedroom, the head of bed, office and the table should avoid to be placed in the two orientations. 


How to avoid Fan Tai Sui?
There are two ways to avoid Fan Tai Sui which includes praying Tai Sui and wearing Tai Sui Amulet.

Pray Tai Sui

One should pray Taisui in the beginning of a Chinese new year. The best date is January 8 in Chinese lunar calendar. Those dates before January 15 are also fine. 
If visiting a temple, you should prepare a package that containing a paper with your name and date of birth on it, to let the Tai Sui know which people should be blessed. Next, you should kowtow to all the 60 Gods, then the Liu Nian Tai Sui, and your Ben Ming Tai Sui at last. Finally, burn the package.
If praying at home, you can set a neat table with six kinds of fruits, Buddhist food and joss sticks, candles and a paper package with your name and date of birth; paste a piece of red paper with the name and birth date of the Tai Sui on the wall behind the table; kneel down and pray piously. When the sticks and candles burn till half, you can incinerate the paper package inside a basin in front.
