The Tai Sui of 2026 – General Wen Zhe
Each year in Chinese metaphysics, special attention is paid to the position and influence of the Tai Sui, or Grand Duke Jupiter. This celestial commander governs the year’s energies and exerts a powerful influence over both individual fortunes and global affairs. Understanding the nature of the ruling Tai Sui helps us better align with the year’s chi and make more strategic decisions.
In 2026, the year’s ruling Tai Sui is General Wen Zhe, a distinguished historical figure from the Ming Dynasty. Renowned for his unwavering integrity, tireless dedication and deep sense of public duty, Wen Zhe served with distinction as Minister of Revenue in Nanjing, where he carried out sweeping reforms that improved efficiency, rooted out corruption and uplifted the welfare of the people.
One of the most defining moments of his career came during the Prince of Ning Rebellion, which he successfully quelled with remarkable speed and diplomacy, restoring calm and stability to the region. His legacy as a bringer of order and fairness offers an encouraging omen for 2026 – a year that may witness its share of global unrest and uncertainty.
In times where the world appears divided and tensions run high, the presence of Tai Sui General Wen Zhe suggests that strong, principled leadership will rise to meet the challenges. His influence brings hope for resolution, reform and the return of stability, especially when supported by wise governance and the collective will to restore harmony.
Aligning with Tai Sui’s energy this year means honouring integrity, acting with diligence and being mindful of order in both your personal life and your external environment.
As always, appeasing the Tai Sui through proper rituals, respectful positioning and symbolic cures is recommended – especially for those whose animal signs are in direct or side conflict with his location. In 2026, the Rat-born needs to take extra steps to appease the Tai Sui, but the Horse, Rabbit and Rooster should also carry his amulet at all times, as they are in side conflict.
In Feng Shui: How to Respect the Tai Sui in 2026
In the Year of the Fire Horse, the Grand Duke Jupiter (Tai Sui) resides in the South 2 sector of the compass. This makes the South a sensitive area of your home or office in 2026. If you reside in, work from or frequently use a room in this part of your property, you need to take extra precautions to avoid activating the wrath of Tai Sui.
Keep this sector quiet and undisturbed throughout the year. Avoid renovations, drilling, digging or loud activity in this area. Outdoors, do not cut trees or break the ground in the South, as this is believed to offend the Tai Sui and can lead to misfortune, accidents, illness or obstacles.
If your bedroom or main living space falls within the South 2 sector, you should carry the Tai Sui Amulet at all times. Equally important, you must NOT sit facing South, as confronting Tai Sui directly is considered extremely inauspicious.
To get Tai Sui onto your side, place the Tai Sui Plaque in the South 2 sector of your home. If your main door is located here, ensure everyone in the household carries a Tai Sui Amulet for protection. Additionally, installing a pair of Pi Yao in the South alongside the Tai Sui Plaque, will invite greater harmony into the home.
In Astrology: Animal Signs Affected by the Tai Sui in 2026
In 2026, the Tai Sui resides in the sector of the Horse, which is interpreted as the Tai Sui supporting the Horse-born.
Those born under the Horse sign are well-positioned to receive recognition, support and new opportunities. They should activate this celestial backing by carrying the Tai Sui Amulet. It is worth noting that the Horse suffers from the presence of the Five Yellow this year, and having the support of the Tai Sui will go a long way to diminishing the negative effects of this affliction.
The Rat, positioned directly opposite Tai Sui, is said to be in direct conflict with Tai Sui in 2026. This can manifest as challenges with authority figures, potential fallouts or obstacles when trying to push ahead, making it essential for Rats to carry his amulet to shield against these risks.
The Rooster and Rabbit are also in indirect conflict with the Tai Sui, though their clash is less severe. Those born under these signs may encounter minor setbacks. Fortunately, such conflicts are usually manageable. It is advisable for Roosters and Rabbits to carry the Tai Sui Amulet throughout the year to prevent small issues from escalating.
As 2026 unfolds under the intense Fire energy of the Year of the Fire Horse, the Tai Sui’s influence plays a crucial role in stabilising the year’s more volatile aspects. While this may be a fast-paced time, the presence of Tai Sui General Wen Zhe can help bring order and clarity.
To ensure you have the backing of Tai Sui:
- Avoid facing South in 2026.
- Place the Tai Sui Plaque in the South of your home.
- Carry the Tai Sui Amulet especially if born in the year of the Horse, Rat, Rabbit or Rooster.
Even if your sign is not directly affected, if you are going through a difficult luck cycle, having the Tai Sui Amulet with you will help smooth over obstacles and conflict energy, and give you a strong advantage in the year ahead.
