What is offending Tai Sui?
There are sixty gods of Tai Sui that are composed by ten Heavenly Stems (from Jia to Gui) and twelve Earthly Branches (from Zi to Hai). The combinations are starting form Jia Zi to Gui Hai, total sixty years. Each year, there is one Tai Sui god that will be on duty. The circulation will go round and round. Each god of Tai Sui has its specific name. All the gods of Tai Sui will handle the good of bad of the world of mortals by turns one by one according to the sixty years turns tables. As to the Tai Sui which handles the year in turns, it is called “On duty Tai Sui”.
If the time of a person's birth is the same as “on duty Tai Sui”, it is called “offending Tai Sui”. If the time of a person’s birth conflicts with “on duty Tai Sui”, it is called “conflicting Tai Sui”. If you want to know your “on duty Tai Sui”, only find out the corresponding year of your birth from the sixty Jia Zi years. You can find the one duty Tai Sui of yourself.
