Tai Sui 2012

Tai Sui (太岁) is also known as Grand Duke Jupiter who is in charge of people’s fortune and world’s affairs. Tai Sui is the star directly opposite to Jupiter. In feng shui and Taoism, Tai Sui influences the Chinese Zodiac and fortune.

In Taoism, there are 10 Heaven Branches and 12 Earth Branches resulting in a 60 year cycle. Tai Sui takes tun to be in charge for a particular year. Because most of the Tai Sui have military background, they are also well known as military Generals. Therefore, the feature of the Tai sui and the weapon in each of the Generals signify what year it is under that General. For instance, if the Tai Sui is holding a pen in that year, it means that political stirring in that year. On the another hand, if the Tai Sui is holding a sword, it means to work hard and better in that year.

The position of Tai Sui changes annually and it affect Chinese Zodiac too. For example, Tai Sui 2012 is sitting on the position of the Dragon and directly conflict to Dog and side conflict to Sheep and Ox. In feng shui and Taoism, the year is not a good year for those who are against to Tai Sui. Those persons need to carry Tai Sui amulet or Grand Duke Appeaser Amulet in order to appease Tai Sui and get good fortune.

2012 Chinese Dragon Calendar2012 New year is coming soon. Some people think that they need to display feng shui products for 2012 on this day. Actually it is not. If you arrange your home according to Flying Stars, you need to count on the lunar day – actually the beginning day for 2012 year of the dragon is on Lup Chun (Li Chun) which is the first day of the spring. In 2012, Lup Chun is on Feb. 4, 2012. So you can display feng shui items for 2012 on or after this day.

Chinese New Year for 2012 is on Jan. 23, 2012 which still belongs to the year of the rabbit. If baby is born after Chinese New Year (Jan. 23, 2012) and before Lup Chun (Feb. 4, 2012), that baby belongs to Rabbit sign too.
