Break:
One of the six “break” pairings — plans may need more explicit agreement.

Traditionally, people whose sign meets Tai Sui treat the year as one for steadiness: finishing what is started, being considerate in relationships and not rushing big changes. Many visit a temple around Chinese New Year to pay respects to Tai Sui. It is a cultural custom — not a forecast of misfortune.

Frequently asked questions

+What is Tai Sui?

Tai Sui (太岁) is the name for the deity or star-year guardian associated with each year in the 60-year cycle. Folk custom says certain signs “meet” or “offend” Tai Sui depending on their relationship with the year sign.

+What do zhi, chong, hai, po and xing mean?

Zhi: your sign is the year sign. Chong (clash): your sign is opposite the year sign. Hai (harm), Po (break) and Xing (punishment) are other traditional branch relationships. A sign can have more than one at once.

+Does offending Tai Sui mean a bad year?

No. It is a traditional prompt for care and patience, not a prediction. This site does not forecast events.

+Does this use my birth year or my birthday?

Your zodiac year sign, which depends on Chinese New Year. If you were born in January or early February, check your sign by birthday first.

+Do you cover Tai Sui directions or feng shui?

No. This tool only covers year-sign relationships. Directions, renovation timing and flying stars are feng shui topics outside this site.
