Tai Sui in Lunar Year of Dragon 2012 (彭泰大将军)

Who is Tai Sui? In the Chinese mythology, the Grand Duke Jupiter or more commonly known as Tai Sui （太岁）) is actually a position in the celestial heavens which is in charge of the world's affairs for a particular year, i.e determining the annual fortunes of all of us mortal beings. The Taoist calendar is organized into a series of twelve "earthly branches" which rotate according to the five elements, resulting in a 60 year cycle. Hence, there are 60 heavenly generals who would rotate to take up this almighty position. A person's happiness, health, luck and fortune are all under his jurisdiction. It actually serves as a reminder to avoid misdeeds, to take good care of health and to carry out more charitable activities so that misfortune will not strike. He will note the good deeds and misdeeds of people.

Besides giving the necessary blessing and acting as a guardian to the Mortals, the different Tai Sui are used to mark the Lunar Year. In 2012, General Peng Tai (彭泰) takes over the helm from General Fan Ning who ruled over the year of 2011.

General Peng Tai - Grand Duke Jupiter of 2012 year of Ren Chen Water Dragon

The Great General Peng Tai was born during the Ming Dynasty and was known for his intelligence, honesty and integrity. He stayed true to his peasant childhood sweetheart even after he became an imperial court official and they both had a happy married life thereafter. His diligence and integrity brought him success and happiness and it is no fluke that he is in charge of the 2012, year of the Dragon-the ultimate symbol for success and happiness. Could this mean that we can expect to be well rewarded for our hard work and effort in 2012? No harm trying and may the celestial Dragon bring good luck to everyone!

Another more scientific school of thought simply attributes the Tai Sui phenomena to the movement of Jupiter (hence the name Grand Duke Jupiter), which affects the magnetic field around us, depending on the year you were born. This explanation usually bodes well with the western audience already educated with zodiac systems based on stars and planets.

Yet others have combined both schools of thoughts into one. It is believed the term “Tai Sui" is derived from the "Tai Sui Calendar System" of ancient China. "Sui" originally referred to Jupiter (木星), which was considered the leader of all stars. But it was quite inconvenient to calculate the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches based on the movement of Jupiter, so people created an imaginary star moving directly opposite to Jupiter and named it "Tai Sui". As time passes, the Tai Sui Star was personified and transformed from an imaginary star to a deity who has absolute command over worldly affairs.

The position of Tai Sui in the recent past and coming years are as follows:

Whatever your belief – whether Tai Sui is a deity or a phantom star (a “body of energy”), it pays to heed the location of the Tai Sui of the year so as not to inadvertently disturb him, or it. An offended Tai Sui will bring you misfortunes, from mild to the severe kind. In 2012, year of Ren Chen Water Dragon Year, the position of Tai Sui is at South East 1 ranging from 112.6 to 127.5 degrees. Thus those born in the year of the Dragon which sits on the same cardinal location of Tai Sui are said to be directly afflicted with Tai Sui whilst the Dog which is located in NW1 is in direct conflict with Tai Sui. Additionally, the Sheep (SW1) and Ox (NE1) are indirectly in conflict with Tai Sui as refer to the Tai Sui positions chart at below.
