In the year of the Earth Monkey, those born in the year of the Tiger clash with the Tai Sui. Lead the changes yourself, and hold the line in all other areas.
In 2028, the year of the Earth Monkey, friends born in the year of the Tiger should defend rather than attack overall. It is a year that calls for restraint and careful action. This year's earthly branch is Shen, which forms a Yin-Shen clash with the Tiger's native branch Yin, meaning you are directly clashing the Tai Sui. A clash brings upheaval, relocation, job changes and reshuffles in relationships. Plans easily change midway, and emotions tend to swing. Once this relationship is made clear, this year's star layout becomes much easier to read. The first ominous star to set the tone is the Year Breaker, a spirit arising from directly clashing the Tai Sui. It governs major financial loss, failed investments and the forced interruption of existing plans. The independent ominous star Great Loss also sits in the same palace as the Year Breaker this year, and with the two stacked together, the power to drain wealth is doubled. So this year you must avoid large investments, loans and guarantees, and impulsive spending. There is also 2 Black (Sickness), the earth-element sickness star, which governs the recurrence of chronic illness, hidden troubles of the stomach and gynaecological system, and also brings disputes and delays. Pay more attention to your routine and medical check-ups. That said, clashing the Tai Sui is not entirely bad: for those who have long been stagnant or stifled, this clash can actually break open the stale situation and bring a chance to change tracks or make a fresh start. The process will inevitably come with turbulence, so risk management is a must. As for auspicious stars, there is only one this year, the Travelling Horse, which governs change, travel, transfers and relocation. You gain by moving and grow stifled by staying still, which echoes the movement of clashing the Tai Sui. It hints that rather than being passively pushed along this year, you should actively arrange beneficial changes. As for the flying stars, 2 Black (Sickness), the earth-element sickness star, flies into the Tiger's branch sector Yin this year. The sickness energy shares the same qi as your native branch, so its force is more concentrated, and you must take special care with health and home arrangements.
The core mindset for clashing the Tai Sui is: rather than being clashed, choose for yourself. Change will certainly happen this year, and the key is to keep control of that change in your own hands. Actively arrange a job change, further study, relocation or long-distance travel, riding the momentum of the Travelling Horse. In all other areas, simply hold the line. Do not touch large investments, do not act as a guarantor, and do not sign long-term binding contracts. Facing the pressure of financial loss from the Year Breaker and Great Loss, channel the money that is destined to flow away towards useful ends: arrange a full medical check-up and dental cleaning, replace old wiring and appliances at home, review and cancel idle automatic payments and subscriptions, and set up a small fixed monthly donation to turn passive loss into an active field of merit. For 2 Black (Sickness), keep a regular routine, guard against stomach and gynaecological troubles, and seek medical help early if anything feels off. This is effectively taking the hit for the sickness energy on your own terms and dissolving it. On disputes and gossip, put all important matters in black and white, speak less in group chats, and do not argue. This year the only auspicious star is the Travelling Horse, so everything relies on your own judgement and discipline to open the way, and that itself is the firmest foundation in a year of clashing the Tai Sui. Remember, do not wear or display any zodiac-shaped ornaments to resolve the Tai Sui. That method is obsolete. As for direction, in the year of the Earth Monkey the Tai Sui sits in the Shen sector in the west-southwest (about 232.5° to 247.5° on the compass, centred at 240°). Apply the principle that the Tai Sui prefers to be sat upon rather than faced: keep the Shen sector behind or to the side of your desk, seat and bedhead, and never sit or sleep facing it directly for long periods. After the Start of Spring, you may choose a quiet moment to face this direction and pay your respects with a grateful heart. Those with the habit may also go to a temple to pay respects to the Tai Sui. Ancient date-selection methods treat the Tai Sui's sector as taboo for construction, so for the whole year avoid renovations and breaking ground in this sector, including drilling walls or heavily rearranging large furniture. As for the Tiger's branch sector Yin, which lies in the Northeast, 2 Black (Sickness), an earth star, flies in this year. The remedy is to use metal to drain earth: place a brass gourd or six-emperor coins or other pure brass items in this sector. Metal is produced from earth, which perfectly drains the earth qi of the Sickness Star and weakens its force. This sector should be kept empty rather than full, bright and well-ventilated, with little clutter. If this sector happens to be where your bed or long-sitting spot is, try to adjust the position to reduce prolonged time spent there.
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.
