Taisui is the god called respectfully in Taoism. He is also called “Taisui Xing Jun” or “year monarch.” Taisui refers to the planet of Jupiter which goes around the sun twelve-year for a cycle. Therefore, the ancients call Jupiter “year star” or “Taisui.” It is not only the star but also the god for folk sacrificing.
太歲為道教神明的尊稱，又稱「太歲星君」或「歲君」。太歲就是天上的木星，木星每十二年繞太陽運行一次，所以古人稱木星為歲星或太歲；它既是星辰，也是民間奉祀的神祇。
In Chinese custom, ten heavenly stems combined with twelve earthly branches to create a cycle of sixty years. In every year, there is a god (year monarch) in charge of the world affairs. The god is called Taisui.
根據中國十天干與十二地支相配而成六十年的甲子計年法，每六十年為一週期，每一個年頭，都有一位神明掌權當年的一切凡間事務，而這位在那年當值的神明，就稱之為太歲，而太歲共有六十位之多，即可於所謂六十花甲年輪值。
As the saying goes, “When Taisui take charge of that year, it may not having happiness but sadness. ” People who run afoul Taisui will have bad fortune in a year, such as doing everything not well, doing business difficultly, and having sickness. For this reason, people go to the temple or worship Taisui at home in order to pray for goodness in life, business , wealth , and everything.
「太歲當頭坐，無喜恐有禍。」犯太歲的人可能會流年不利，或百事不順，事業多困厄，身體多病變，為求心安理得，人們都會到供奉太歲的廟宇，作個太歲福來化解，亦可在家中拜太歲，以求平安順事，工商興盛，財運享通，萬事如意。
However, a person’s luck related to Taisui also depends on his/her zodiac animal sign. It can be divided into five kinds:
A. People whose animal sign is the same as Taisui will offend Taisui and encounter a lot of trouble in a year and it may be happiness or sadness. When you are in the trouble, you should fight for something hard with heart and soul.
B. People whose animal sign is conflicting with Taisui will run through the waves and toil the rocks in a year. The surrounding will change and you have the opportunity to move or change your job. Therefore, you should be cautious during doing business or working.
C. People whose animal sign has conflict with Taisui indirectly will have lawsuits. It is not good for you to be a guarantor.
D. People whose animal sign is harmful to Taisui will encounter villains.
E. People whose animal sign is deotruitine to Taisui will have villain in job and suffer finical setback.
