Tai- Sui when literally translated means the 'great year'. He is also referred to as TAI-SUI XING or the God of Time. Another popular name is the Grand Duke Jupiter. This deity works for the God TAI-YI at the Celestial Ministry of Time and is also the God of Astrology and Fortunes.
The Tai Sui is the direction associated with the year branch. For example, 2008 is the Wu Zi year. The wu zi branch is due north, so the taisui is in the north. According to Taoist beliefs, "You can sit at the taisui position, but you cannot face the taisui position." This means, among other things, that if you are going to war, and you are coming from the north, marching towards the south, you have an advantage. However, if the enemy is north of you, you are fighting against the chi or energy of the universe that year, so the chances of you winning would be slim.
Tai Sui is the deity in charge of the current year who rules over all the deities. There is one Tai Sui who would be the taiko for each year based on the Sixty Cycles. As a result there are total of 60 Tai Sui. Each Tai Sui has great power and is highly respected. People are afraid to offend him because it would cause harm and bad luck to come to them. To avoid offending the Tai Sui of the year, people pacify and enshrine the Tai Sui of the year in their homes.
One popular yearly ritual practised by the Taoists is the An Tai Sui (安太歲). Those whose zodiac signs are in conflict with Tai Sui -- the deity who rules over all the deities -- perform this ritual to appease the deity and pray for his protection.
In 2008 Tai Sui is located between 352.5º - 7.5º north. One important advice not to offend Tai sui is to not disturb the ground of this area at all costs. People living in North facing properties with front doors to the north must be careful not to allow the doors to slam and do not renovate or dig in this part for this year. When moving furniture around this year, especially your work desk, it is vital that you must never sit facing the 15º (Zi) sector (north). If you confront Tai Sui, you will experience defeat; demotion, loss and any venture will be met with obstacles. Remember to sit with your back to the north and you will gain his support.
Feng Shui method
Place a Pi Yao or dragon headed tortoise in the south sector of your home or office facing north where Tai Sui sits to appease him. Although in 2008 because the south is so severely afflicted with the annual #5 star, Three killings and Sui Po you must use a Dragon Pagoda alongside a Pi Yao. If you have to carry out work or emergency repairs in the south place a six hollow metal rod wind chime between the building and where the work is being carried out and ideally you should contact a professional Practitioner to select an auspicious date to start the work or you can check out the Tong Shu or Chinese Almanac.
谢太岁 Xie Tai Sui (Thanking Tai Sui)
According to Taoist practices, Devotees who participated in the An Tai Sui rites during the beginning of the year 2008 have to return to the same temple at the end of the year to offer thanks to Tai Sui for the heavenly blessings throughout this year. This thanksgiving ritual is normally held after the Winter Solstice until 24th of the 12 lunar month.
Names that offend Tai Sui
Besides the horoscope signs, according to Feng Shui the names of people can offend Tai Sui as well. The name of the Tai Sui for 2008 is Zheng Tang and so those people whose names contai the characters Tang, Dang, Zheng and Zhen would offend Tai Sui because they have ths ame name or surname as the Tai Sui for the year or their names are pronounced similar to that of the yearly Tai Sui. Alternatively, those whose surnames are Lin or Ling or whose names either contain the two characters then they will enjoy great benefits.
