壬辰 RenChen 2012 Year - TaiSui and Year Breaker Affliction

Annual TaiSui and Year Breaker are another form of afflictions as a result of the Jupiter effect. As size does matter, Jupiter imposed gravitational instability upon earth’s Qi. In a geocentric perspective, a TaiSui star was “invented” to account for the lost of Qi on the opposite direction to the Jupiter station. It is therefore also known as a counter Jupiter. Therefore, TaiSui location will be the same location with the annual Zodiac location and in this case of RenChen year, the TaiSui will be at the Chen location which is part of Southeast. 

Whereas the Year Breaker is referring to the Jupiter station opposite direction of TaiSui and in this case of RenChen year, the Year Breaker will be at the Xu location which is part of Northwest. Year Breaker is a location of which vast amount of Qi is believed to have been accumulated but unstable.

The Chinese are creatively enough to associate TaiSui as the annual Grand Duke Deity star appointed by the Jade Emperor to oversee the affair of mankind throughout the year, whereas Year Breaker is associated to TaiSui’s wife, SuiPo. This unfortunately has nothing to do with FengShui. You need not need any forms of PiYao or Talisman to ward off TaiSui.

TaiSui is fine to be sited but not faced. Such actually meant to say, it is not okay to sit on Year Breaker location and face the TaiSui directly. It portends the potential of violating both TaiSui and Year Breaker at the same time. So, similar to the other afflictions, Year Breaker and TaiSui must be kept untouchable at all time. However, in real life application, this must be taken with a huge pinch of salt.

A SanHe practitioner would understand that TaiSui for 2012 is not just Chen but RenChen. This imply that WuXu as the actual location of Year Breaker. Such is beyond the scope of the ThongShing (almanac) and applicable for specific FengShui purposes.

Violating both of these afflictions may bring about troublesome glitches usually not resulting in serious health and wealth problems. It is one affliction that is easily to be kept at bay. Care must be taken for those who have Xu, Chen, Ren and Wu in any of the BaZi pillars. So, it is not just the Year pillar to be précised.

Also note that the following Year pillars are considered to be in sync with TaiSui: -

1. XinChou
2. DingChou
3. GengXu
4. BingXu
5. JiWei 
6. WuChen

HUAT AH!
