Horse Year 2026｜Understanding “Fan Tai Sui” and How to Overcome It
The year 2026 marks the Year of the Fire Horse (Bing Wu Year), symbolizing passion, courage, and movement. The Tai Sui (Grand Duke Jupiter) for this year is General Guo Fengtian, who governs changes in power, fortune, and destiny.
In Chinese metaphysics, those whose zodiac signs clash, harm, or conflict with the year’s Tai Sui are said to “Fan Tai Sui”—offending the Grand Duke—bringing potential instability or challenges.
1. Which Zodiac Signs Are Affected in 2026?
1. Rat (Zi) — Clashing Tai Sui
Rat clashes with Horse (“Zi-Wu Chong”), symbolizing major changes such as job shifts, relocation, or emotional ups and downs.
2. Horse (Wu) — Directly Facing Tai Sui (Ben Ming Nian)
Those born in the Year of the Horse are in their own zodiac year. Stay humble and avoid unnecessary conflicts to prevent setbacks.
3. Ox (Chou) — Breaking Tai Sui
Ox and Horse energy collide, leading to obstacles in plans and interpersonal tension.
4. Rabbit (Mao) — Harming Tai Sui
The Fire Horse harms the Wood Rabbit, often bringing misunderstandings in relationships or partnership issues.
5. Rooster (You) — Punishing Tai Sui
This combination indicates unexpected incidents, health issues, or financial stress.
2. Tai Sui Direction & Taboos
In 2026, the Tai Sui resides in the South (Wu direction), while the opposing “Sui Po” lies in the North (Zi direction).
• Avoid construction, renovation, or sitting directly facing South.
• To balance energy, place a Tai Sui Talisman or protective gourd (hulu) in the South sector of your home.
3. Remedies and Protection
• Carry or display a Tai Sui Talisman (such as the IChingLink Tai Sui Protection Amulet) before Li Chun (Start of Spring) for best effect.
• Cultivate kindness and humility—avoid gossip, arguments, and impulsive decisions.
• Wear compatibility charms based on your zodiac allies:
• Rat → Dragon, Monkey
• Horse → Tiger, Dog
• Ox → Snake, Rooster
• Rabbit → Goat, Pig
• Rooster → Ox, Snake
• Pray to Tai Sui before the Lantern Festival (First Full Moon) to invite blessings and peace.
4. Final Thoughts
The Year of the Horse is full of movement and transformation. For those affected by Tai Sui, adaptability and mindfulness will turn potential challenges into opportunities.
As the old saying goes: “When Tai Sui is upon you, stay humble and cautious to turn misfortune into fortune.”
Respect the flow of destiny, act with grace—and the fiery Horse year will carry you toward renewal and strength.
