What is Tai Sui (太岁)?

Tai Sui (太岁), also known as the Grand Duke Jupiter, is an important concept in Chinese astrology, representing the annual star or deity that governs a specific year in the Chinese zodiac cycle. It is not actually the planet Jupiter but is closely associated with its astrological influence. Each year, a different Tai Sui deity takes charge, and certain zodiac signs may either be in harmony or conflict (clash) with Tai Sui, leading to significant effects:

• Clash with Tai Sui: Brings instability, obstacles, accidents, or misfortune.
• Support from Tai Sui: Offers protection, opportunities, and good fortune.

For those whose zodiac signs clash with Tai Sui in a particular year (such as Pig in 2025), wearing protective charms like red bracelets is a common remedy to neutralize negative influences.
