Tai Sui is ancient Chinese name for Jupiter. They 

are heavenly generals who assist the Jade Emperor in taking 

charge of the well-being of the mortal world. 

​

There are sixty of them and each takes turn to be in 

charge for a year. 

​

In Taoism those with the Chinese Zodiac signs that conflict 

or clashed with Tai Sui, will get bad luck for the year. 

They are therefore advised to pray for blessings at the Tai Sui shrines to 

obtain peace and food fortune for that year.
