​

Tai-Sui (太岁) :  In feng shui, Tai-Sui represents the Grand Duke Jupiter, a powerful deity responsible for overseeing the fate and fortune of individuals during specific year.  Tai-Sui is thought to change yearly, following the Chinese zodiac calendar.  Ancient Chinese astronomers numbered the years based on the 12-year orbital cycle of Jupiter.  Each year corresponds to a specific earthly branch direction. For example:  Tai-Sui is in the home direction of Rabbit during year of the Rabbit, and Tai-Sui is in the direction of Ox during year of the Ox.  In 2025 the year of the Snake, Tai-Sui is in the direction of Snake (Southeast 3).  It is inauspicious to have any loud banging, digging, renovation, or demolition work in the direction of Tai-Sui according to the theory of Feng Shui.  So, apply the “No Renovation” Rule in the direction of the Snake (Southeast).  To ease the Tai-Sui, display a pair of jasper stone Pi-Yao in the Southeast sector of your home.

Facing Tai-Sui (岁破) :  The opposite direction of Tai-Sui, known as the Year Breaker, signifies conflict with Tai-Sui. It is considered a top taboo in feng shui to clash with or damage Tai-Sui. If your animal sign aligns with a particular year, you will clash with Tai-Sui during that year.  Conversely, conflicting animal signs lead to clashes with Tai-Sui.  Facing Tai-Sui is the direction/sector that faces or is opposite of the Tai-Sui location.  According to the theory of Feng Shui, there should be no loud banging, digging, renovation, or demolition work done in the direction of Facing Tai-Sui.  In 2025, the sector that faces Tai-Sui is Boar (Northwest 3).  Pair of jasper stone Pi-Yao should be displayed in the Northwest sector of your home.  

Be more careful if your home is facing Northwest and sitting Southeast or facing Southeast and sitting in Northwest with residents whose zodiac sign is either Snake (and its allies – Rooster and Ox) or Boar (and its allies – Rabbit and Ram). 

​

In 2025, year of the Snake, the natural disaster caused by the Three Killings is in the Rabbit sector, the man-made disaster is in the Tiger sector, and the graveyard is in the Dragon sector.  These inauspicious energies affect the zodiac signs of the East Group (Tiger, Rabbit, and Dragon), and afflict the entire East direction. It is advisable to travel to the East with caution during this period.

​

In the year 2025, the Misfortune star resides in the Northeast sector/direction of each home, it affects the luck of those whose kitchen, entrance door or bedroom is in the Northeast sector of each home.  To prevent loss of wealth or something caused by unexpected incidents, do not disturb the Northeast sector of your home by renovation.  Display a brass Lucky Coin (large size), or 5 Element Pagoda, or a brass Wind Chime to reduce the inauspicious energy brought by this unwelcome star.
