The Tai Sui (literally Great Year) is the controlling influence for the current year. It corresponds to the auspiciousness or inauspiciousness for the year. Each year it relates to a different direction depending upon the current year. In 2008, it is to the Zi direction or North. Zi relates to the year animal, or in 2008, the Rat. Did you know that each animal sign had their own direction?
As such there is another qi energy called the Sui Po or Year Breaker. This is an unfortunate energy and is located opposite the Tai Sui. In 2008, the Sui Po is in the South or the Wu (Horse) direction.
These are two important directions to be aware of, especially because you do not want to disturb the earth in these directions. Doing so can lead to inauspicious results.
In Feng Shui, the directions are as specific as 15 degrees. For each of the eight compass directions, there are 3 sub-directions. Thus, there are a total of 24 directions on a Feng Shui luopan (or compass.) In 2008 the Tai Sui is to Zi or the middle third direction of North. The Sui Po is to the Wu or middle third direction of South. On a Sang’s Luopan, the direction for Li is referred to by the A direction and the Wu direction is referred to as M. Another way to look at this is from a Western compass perspective in that the Zi direction is from 352.5 to 7.5 degrees on the compass. The Wu is from 172.5 to 187.5 on the compass.
We are specific to the 15 degrees, but to be on the safe side, avoid digging, break ground, or otherwise disturb the earth in not only the 15 degrees, but the entire 45 degree segment of North or South for this year. That way you are assured that you are safe. Additionally, you should not have major reconstruction to your home. Lastly, you should not bury anyone to these directions this year.
