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.
As 2023 is the year of rabbit 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 2023, try to be more risk-averse when it comes to decision-making. When in doubt, always seek opinions from your family or friends.
Rooster
If you are born in the year of 1945, 1957, 1969, 1975, 1981, 1993, 2005 or 2017 in the lunar calendar, your zodiac sign is rooster.
Rooster is directly opposite rabbit in the Chinese Zodiac Wheel. As 2023 is the year of the rabbit, people born in the year of the rooster 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 2023, you are encouraged to keep a lower profile at work. Be more tolerant of others and treat every interaction with an open heart and an open mind.
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.
In 2022, people born in the year of the dragon 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, 2023 may turn out to be a blessed year for you.
Note: Depending on different interpretations, some temples may list dragon as one of the zodiacs in conflict with Tai Sui while some temples may not.

How and when to return Tai Sui in Singapore 2023 (还太岁)?
To return Tai Sui, simply go to the same temple where you did your Tai Sui worshipping.
The procedure is the same as when you settled your Tai Sui. You will need to prepare your Chinese name, date and time of birth, buy a set of joss papers and joss sticks and pray to the Tai Sui God.
Each temple will have different dates for returning of Tai Sui. The typical dates to return Tai Sui are usually 1 to 2 weeks before the Winter Solstice festival or Dongzhi festival (冬至). Dongzhi falls on 22 December 2023 this year.
What should you do if you miss the period? Calm down and do not worry! You can go back to the same temple, buy a set of joss sticks, pray and express your gratitude to the Tai Sui God for the protection over the year.
