In the upcoming year 2024, many people are concerned about whether they will be affected by the Thai Tue, an ancient Vietnamese folk belief that influences the harmony and obstacles individuals may face each year. In this article, let’s explore what Thai Tue is and how it affects individuals in 2024, as well as the best ways to resolve its negative effects.
What is Thai Tue?
According to folk beliefs, Thai Tue is one of the 60 deities (hexagonal lotus) that alternately rule over the mortal world in a year. The year ruled by Thai Tue is called the Thai Tue year.
In astrology, Thai Tue is considered a star representing the planet Jupiter due to its 12-month orbit, similar to the lifespan of the 12 zodiac signs. Therefore, Thai Tue is always regarded by the folk as a malevolent star. When affected by Thai Tue, individuals may experience difficulties and challenges in various aspects such as finance, health, and relationships. If someone’s age corresponds to this star, they need to be cautious.
What is the Pham Thai Tue?
Pham Thai Tue, also known as “xung Thai Tue,” refers to the birth date of an individual affected by this star. Pham Thai Tue is further divided into “nien xung” (confrontation) and “nghich xung” (counteraction).
“Nien xung” refers to the conflicting ages related to Thai Tue. For example, the age of a person born in the Year of the Pig clashes with the Year of the Snake. Similarly, other conflicting age pairs include “Rat – Horse”, “Buffalo – Goat”, “Tiger – Monkey”, “Cat – Rooster”, “Dragon – Dog”, and “Snake – Pig”.
Furthermore, folklore believes that if Thai Tue shines on the top of a person’s head, it means “Less misfortune, more luck”. Therefore, it is advised to avoid major actions if someone’s fate is affected by Thai Tue.
In addition, the various forms of Thai Tue are as follows:
- “Tri Thai Tue”: This signifies a year with unpredictable changes, potential sadness, and illnesses.
- “Xung Thai Tue”: This signifies a year with disruptions, major changes, and trivial matters.
- “Hinh Thai Tue”: This signifies a year with many difficulties and potential disasters such as bankruptcy.
- “Hai Thai Tue”: This signifies a year with potential disturbances caused by others, but not to the point of envy or hatred.
- “Pha Thai Tue”: This signifies a year with business obstacles caused by others, financial losses, and disruption.
Furthermore, the Thai Tue year is also in conflict with the predominant zodiac signs in the Hexagonal Conflict cycle: Rat – Snake, Buffalo – Goat, Tiger – Monkey, Cat – Rooster, Dragon – Dog, and Snake – Pig.
