Tai Sui
Tai Sui is the god of the year. Clash with him, and tradition says tread carefully.
Find your year, then pay respect
Find your clash
Your own animal's year and the opposite animal's year are the main clashes. In 2027, a Goat year, that means Goat and Ox.
Register at a temple
Early in the lunar year, people register at a temple, a rite called an tai sui. Their name and birth date go before the year's general.
Give thanks at year's end
Before the next New Year, people return to thank Tai Sui and send off the paper. Customs differ, so ask at the temple.
Never break ground on Tai Sui's head, the old saying goes.
Choosing a Tai Sui charm
Tai Sui belongs to living religious practice, so treat it with respect. It should not decide medical, legal or money matters.

Hand-picked pieces are on the way.
Good to know
What does offending Tai Sui mean?
It means your birth animal sits in an uneasy relation with the year's Tai Sui. Tradition treats it as a year to move carefully, not as a doomed year.
Which zodiac signs clash with Tai Sui in 2027?
Goat and Ox are the main two, because 2027 is a Goat year and Ox sits opposite. Many lists add Rat and Dog for lesser clashes.
Is it bad to be in your zodiac year?
Tradition treats it as a risky year, and an old rhyme warns of trouble. That is belief, not fate. Many people wear red, often a red string or red socks, for peace of mind.
