Dragon
If you are born in the year of 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, or 2012 in the lunar calendar, your zodiac sign is dragon.
As 2024 is the year of dragon which is also your sign, you are in conflict with Tai Sui (值太岁). You may experience uncertainties in your career, health, and life.
In 2024, while there may not be much good luck in your life, the good news is that there may not be much bad luck either. Try to adopt a balanced lifestyle and keep a lower profile at work.
Dog
If you are born in the year of 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006 or 2018 in the lunar calendar, your zodiac sign is dog.
Dog is directly opposite dragon in the Chinese Zodiac Wheel. As 2024 is the year of the dragon, people born in the year of the dog will also be in conflict in Tai Sui (冲太岁). You may have below-average luck with turbulences in your career and wealth. The chances of conflicts between you and your colleagues may also increase.
In 2024, be more risk-averse when it comes to decision-making. When in doubt, always seek opinions from your family or friends. Be more tolerant of others and treat every interaction with an open heart and an open mind.
Rabbit
If you are born in the year of 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, or 2011 in the lunar calendar, your zodiac sign is rabbit.
In 2024, people born in the year of the rabbit will encounter “harming tai sui” (害太岁), which is the worst among the types of tai sui. You may experience a mix of below-average luck and good luck in your career and relationship throughout the year.
As long as you practise mindful speech, be calm and avoid getting into any quarrels with others, 2024 may turn out to be a blessed year for you.
Note: Depending on different interpretations, some temples may list rabbit as one of the zodiacs in conflict with Tai Sui while some temples may not.
Ox
If you are born in the year of 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009 or 2021 in the lunar calendar, your zodiac sign is ox.
People born in the year of the ox will encounter “breaking tai sui” (破太岁) in 2024. Luckily, this type of tai sui is the least severe among the types of tai sui. Harming tai sui usually affects interpersonal relationships, from couples, and family to workspace relationships.
You are advised to stay patient and relaxed, and avoid any disputes which may snowball into serious matters. Always take good care of your health!
Goat
If you are born in the year of 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003 or 2015 in the lunar calendar, your zodiac sign is goat.
People born in the year of the goat will encounter “crime tai sui” (刑太岁) in 2024. This type of tai sui mostly affect wealth, especially business owners or those who are self-employed.
In 2024, people born in the year of goat may try to be prudent and avoid big expenditures or investments.
What should you do if you are born in the year of dragon, dog, rabbit, ox or goat?

No. When you have conflicts with tai sui, you are encouraged to work hard, be nice to others, stay positive, stay calm, take only calculated risks, and take extra precautions in major decisions. However, people not having conflicts with tai sui should also practise these principles in everyday life.
