Feng Shui
and the Grand Duke Jupiter (blog post June 7 2012) presented
the astronomical theory behind the Grand Duke and why he was so named. However, there is another interpretation
based around Chinese mythology. This
indicates that the Grand Duke, or Tai Sui as he is also known, holds a certain position
in the heavens each year, a position which identifies our fortunes for that
year. The Tai Sui is said to be the
Ruler of Earth and each year he assumes the name of a different respected
General from the distant past. These
Generals each have their own identities and can be wrathful by nature or
magnanimous and caring; powerful or helpful.
During 2013 the General in question is Xu Dan. He lived during the Han Dynasty (206BC-AD220)
and was a skilled martial artist. He was
known to have courage, generosity and patriotism.
Whoever you
believe the Grand Duke to be, it is a fact that wherever the astrological
animal of the year resides around the compass, the Grand Duke moves into that
sector. During 2013 this is the 15o
location of SE3 (142.5o–157.5 o) and home to the Snake
(Si.) This presents the Snake born with
the situation where they are sharing their space with Tai Sui. This is not automatically good or bad, and they
can arrange it such that they receive support from the Grand Duke by not
incurring his displeasure.
The Grand
Duke likes peace and quiet and he most definitely dislikes being
confronted. To do so will incur his
displeasure and cause him to turn against you.
It is important therefore to keep the southeast and its opposite number, the northwest, quiet. Renovations and digging, drilling
and banging walls will activate his malevolent side and cause your year to be
filled with disagreements, obstacles, illness and misfortune. Loss of wealth,
negative cash flow and robbery can also manifest in certain cases.
The animal
in direct conflict with the Tai Sui in 2013 is the Pig (Hai) located in
NW3. Those born in the year of the Pig
(Boar) should keep their location quiet and respect the Grand Duke. They must certainly not directly face the
Grand Duke as this is sure to anger him and present the Pig with many obstacles
and difficulties throughout the year.
There are
also two animals in indirect conflict with the Tai Sui. These are the Tiger, located in NE3, and the
Monkey, located in SW3. These are the
least affected but it is necessary to be aware of this indirect conflict and
ensure you do not inadvertently upset the Grand Duke.
Sometimes
it is necessary to undertake urgent repairs or renovations in the home or the
office, so if this is the situation start and finish these works away from SE3
location. This will help offset any
negative energies.
The Grand
Duke is said to be one of the annual afflictions of the calendar year and while
it is relatively easy to upset him, by arranging it such that you have your
back to him he will afford you support and encouragement. In 2013 he is facing the northwest and when
you avoid upsetting him in any way he will help you attract some of the
benefits associated with the northwest.
This includes attracting mentors and helpful people into your life.
He occupies only 15o of the compass and while that makes it easier to avoid, it also makes it vital to take accurate compass readings to ensure you are
outside his sphere of influence.
To the fulfillment of your dreams
