What are the four types of Tai Sui Clash?

The four types are Direct Clash, Birth-Year Return, Punishment, and Harm. Each compares the birth-year branch with the current-year branch but represents opposition, repetition, punishment, or harm, so identify the subtype before judging the likely form of disruption.

How long does a Tai Sui Clash period last?

It is centered on the relevant year rather than a single day. The available observation window can extend up to 1,200 days, although interpretation still focuses on the target year and its transition periods, so check the exact range before timing major decisions.

Does Tai Sui Clash always mean bad luck?

No, it signals greater exposure to annual change, friction, or detail-related risk rather than a guaranteed disaster. The subtype and the natal chart alter how it appears, so the practical response is to review contracts, travel plans, and major commitments more carefully.

Tai Sui Clash

Your chart · time-limitedCaution☯︎BaZi Four Pillars

Tai Sui Clash is an annual category covering Direct Clash, Birth-Year Return, Punishment, and Harm, each defined by a different relationship between the birth-year branch and the branch of the current year. It activates around the relevant year, with an observation window of up to 1,200 days. Read the subtype first, then compare how disruption appears and which decisions or details require the most caution.

In detail

The category is established by the relationship between the Earthly Branch of the birth year and that of the current year: direct opposition forms the Clash subtype, repetition of the same branch forms the Birth-Year Return, a punishment relation forms Punishment, and a harm relation forms Harm. Interpretation centers on annual change and exposure to risk, with intensity varying by the directness of the relation and its place in the natal chart. The subtype alone does not prove a specific misfortune. Compare the four by asking whether the pattern acts through confrontation, repetition, internal constraint, or indirect erosion.
