The Year of the Snake 2025: Beware of the Money Pit for These Four Age Groups

23 September, 2024

What is Hạn Thái Tuế?

In folk belief, there exist sixty deities, known as the ‘Sixty Flowers’, who take turns ruling over mortals each year. Thái Tuế is one such deity, and a year under their rule is called a ‘Thái Tuế year.’

In astrology, Thái Tuế represents Jupiter. This planet has a 12-month orbital period. Thái Tuế is considered a malevolent star by the common people. Those who encounter a Thái Tuế year will face numerous challenges and setbacks in all aspects of life, including career, wealth, health, and relationships.

To ‘offend’ Thái Tuế means to clash with it. This clash is divided into ‘nien xung’ and ‘nghich xung.’ ‘Nien xung’ refers to the year of one’s zodiac sign. For example, if one’s zodiac sign is the snake, and it is the year of the pig, this is considered a clash; this is known as ‘xung Thái Tuế.’ The same applies to the zodiac pairs of Rat – Horse, Ox – Goat, Tiger – Monkey, Rabbit – Rooster, and Dragon – Dog. Using the example of the snake, as the snake and pig clash, a person born in the year of the pig will offend Thái Tuế in the snake year.

The Thái Tuế clashes can be categorized as follows:

– ‘Tri Thái Tuế’: A year of significant changes and frequent difficulties, often leading to sadness and illness.

– ‘Xung Thái Tuế’: A year of major disruptions and drastic changes.

– ‘Hinh Thái Tuế’: A year filled with gossip and slander, especially prone to disasters like bankruptcy.

– ‘Hai Thái Tuế’: A year of obstruction by petty people.

– ‘Phá Thái Tuế’: A year of hindered progress, financial loss, and obstacles created by petty people.
