The Tai Sui refers to the Grand Duke of Jupiter, and is also commonly known as the Tai Jun (Tai General). It can be any of 60 heavenly generals, each with its own name, depending on the combination of the Shi Tian Gan (10 Heavenly/Celestial Stems) (jia, yi, bing, ding, wu, ji, geng, xin, ren, gui)and the Shi Er Di Zhi (12 Earthly Branches) (corresponding to the 12 zodiac signs of rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, pig) in any given year.
These heavenly generals take turns to govern each year,determining the luck and misfortune of the twelve zodiac signs.
However, when the Tai Sui moves into a certain zodiac,those born under that zodiac sign and those who are born under the opposite sign will experience misfortune in varying degrees: (in descending order) zheng chong, pian chong, xiao chong. This phenomenon is also known as Fan Tai Sui, or coming into conflict with the Tai Sui.
Individuals who happen to Fan Tai Sui in the particular year should go to the temple to An Tai Sui (appease the Tai Sui) in order to avoid misfortune that may result from angering the Tai Sui. One can avert misfortunes by praying to the Tai Sui deity by lighting the Tai Sui Lamp.
