In the year of the Earth Monkey, those born in the Goat year meet a level Tai Sui. With the Sickness Star pressing down, hold rather than attack, while Red Phoenix adds a touch of warmth.
Entering 2028, the year of the Earth Monkey, friends born under the Goat sign face an overall fortune of holding ground. The pace of the whole year should be slow rather than rushed, steady rather than greedy. This year the Goat's Earth and the Monkey's Metal form a level Tai Sui relationship. Although there is no direct clash, there is a faint sense of wear and tear: the Monkey's Metal quietly drains the Goat's Earth, making you feel easily powerless, with your drive discounted. Many matters seem to progress smoothly, but inwardly consume a great deal of mental energy. So this year is truly not suitable for opening new fronts; guarding your existing main profession and your health is the best policy. In terms of stars, what presses down this year is the Sickness Star among the twelve deities of the Tai Sui, governing minor illnesses, the recurrence of old ailments and lowered immunity. It is a star reminding you to put your body first. There is also a general cluster of inauspicious stars bringing scattered small misfortunes, so avoid rushing or taking on too much. The Stranger Crossing star, which governs trouble and financial loss brought by strangers, calls for extra caution with unfamiliar phone calls, investment invitations and online scams. Any unfamiliar channel deserves a second thought. The Solitude Star governs isolation and a cooling of relationships, while Year Sha governs loneliness, low mood and estrangement from others, especially pronounced for women, who may easily feel that no one around them truly understands them. Fortunately, the auspicious star Red Phoenix, a true romance star, moves in, governing marriage, engagement, the arrival of children and improved popularity. If you have thoughts of marrying, getting engaged, having a child, moving home or changing jobs this year, borrow this joyful energy to put them into action, using happy events to dilute the dullness of the Sickness Star and the Solitude Star. However, Red Phoenix only adds warmth and popularity; it cannot offset the force of the Sickness Star and the 5 Yellow (Calamity). You must still guard your health and finances yourself. Among the nine flying stars, the one flying into the Goat's earthly branch sector this year is the most inauspicious of the nine, 5 Yellow (Calamity), an Earth-element disaster star, governing serious illness, accidents and major financial loss. It must be countered by stillness rather than movement.
This year there is no clash or harm with the Tai Sui, so there is no need to perform any ritual to resolve the Tai Sui. The focus lies entirely on the stars and on your body. With the Sickness Star and a cluster of minor inauspicious stars layered together, the first priority in action is slow and steady: do not open new fronts, do not chase quick money, do not accept unfamiliar invitations, and put your energy into maintaining existing order. With the Sickness Star pressing down, actively meet the predicted misfortune in advance to absorb it: arrange a full medical check-up, a dental cleaning, and attend to the small ailments you have been putting off. Keep a regular daily routine, exercise moderately, and give up late nights. This is the most effective remedy. Facing the risk of financial loss to strangers brought by the Stranger Crossing star, do not add unknown callers as contacts and do not transfer money. Treat any high-return investment invitation as a scam. At the same time, review all automatic deductions and subscriptions, cancel those you do not use, and actively redirect the money that would otherwise slip away into health check-ups, dental care, replacing ageing wiring and worn-out appliances, and a fixed small monthly donation. Turn passive leakage into active merit. To counter the lonely energy of the Solitude Star and Year Sha, avoid prolonged solitude. Join group gatherings, meals with old friends, interest classes and volunteer activities, letting human warmth dilute the chill. Female friends in particular should deliberately maintain a social rhythm. With Red Phoenix shining above, singles should attend more friends' gatherings and weddings, while those in relationships can seriously consider the next step, turning joyful intentions into concrete action. Only then do you truly catch this auspicious star. The help you need this year does not come from outside. Do your own duties solidly and be your own backing. That is the truest method. The Earth Monkey Tai Sui sits in the Monkey sector, due west leaning south (roughly west-southwest, compass 240 degrees). This year your desk, chair and bed-head should keep this direction behind you or to your side. Never sit or sleep facing this direction head-on for long periods. After the Start of Spring, you may choose one early morning to stand quietly facing this direction for a short while, offering respects to the Tai Sui with a grateful heart and wishing for a peaceful and smooth year. If you have long had this habit, you may also visit a temple to pay respects to the Tai Sui. The Goat's earthly branch sector lies in the Southwest. This year 5 Yellow (Calamity) flies into this sector. Place a string of pure brass six-emperor coins or a brass bell quietly in this sector, using Metal energy to drain the Earth of the 5 Yellow. The 5 Yellow belongs to Earth; Earth generates Metal, and Metal can exhaust the Earth energy, so items of pure brass are most suitable. The brass gourd mainly resolves the 2 Black sickness energy and is weaker against the 5 Yellow. This sector this year favours empty over full: the less clutter, the brighter the light, and the better the ventilation, the less foothold the inauspicious energy has. If this sector happens to be a main door or toilet, you may add a white curtain as a soft screen and buffer.
A zodiac forecast reads only one of the eight characters in your BaZi chart — the year branch — so it gives a general direction, far less precise than analysing the full chart. The year's Tai Sui also interacts with your month, day and hour branches, not just the year: even if your birth year isn't the one clashing or harming Tai Sui, another pillar carrying that branch feels the same influence.
