What does "conflict in the zodiac year" mean?
The zodiac year refers to the lunar year corresponding to one's birth animal sign, commonly known as the animal year. In traditional customs, the zodiac year is often considered an inauspicious year. The folk song "If you meet the year of your zodiac, the year god sits on your head, no joy brings trouble" best reflects the inauspicious nature of the zodiac year. Therefore, the term "zodiac year" is also called "the year of the threshold." Every time a person encounters the year of their zodiac, people usually wear red clothes or tie red ribbons to ward off the influence of the year god. Now, many people still wear red clothing during their zodiac year to alleviate the troubles caused by the year god.Conflict is further divided into:
Conflict with the Year God: "Conflict" means impact or disturbance. If someone is affected this year, there will be changes or movements. For example, moving house, changing jobs, switching careers, falling out with relatives, serious illness, losses, problems when traveling, conflicts with others, or infidelity.
Being under the Year God: This means the year where the person's fate is influenced by their birth time and destiny. It indicates that the year will have obstacles, restlessness, health issues, and it is advisable to avoid taking action, as staying in place might lead to better fortune.
Breaking the Year God: "Breaking" means destruction. This year, there may be sudden damage, financial loss, broken friendships, failed cooperation, or physical illness.
Harming the Year God: "Harm" means betrayal or danger. This year, one may face betrayal, friends selling out, business losses, food poisoning, illness of oneself or loved ones, being misled, or receiving complaints.
What are the methods to improve luck and avoid misfortune during the zodiac year?
Requesting a Year God Blessing TalismanThe Shangqing Internal Secret Year God Talisman: The Year God talismans are divided into red yang talismans and black yin talismans. Yin and Yang refer to the properties of the heavenly stems of the birth year (according to the lunar calendar, not the solar calendar). If a person was born in a yang year, they are considered a yang man or woman. If born in a yin year, they are considered a yin man or woman. Therefore, the use of the talisman's yin or yang is unrelated to gender. The yin talisman should be worn by a yang man or woman, while the yang talisman is worn by a yin man or woman. The internal secret Year God talisman is written by a master after performing purification rituals, praying to the Earth Deity, the Year God General Yin Jiao, and then writing the corresponding yin or yang talisman on fine rice paper based on the client's information. After writing, it is immediately placed in a red envelope and sealed, given to the person for protection. After wearing, it should be burned with gold foil paper at the end of the year, around the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, and then disposed of in flowing water.
Worshipping the Year God
The most suitable time to worship the Year God is generally at the beginning of each year. When participating in "worshipping the Year God," the following precautions should be taken: do not eat meat or drink alcohol the night before, take a bath, and wear clean clothes. The time to worship the Year God is from the first to the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, including the first, second, third, fifth, seventh, eighth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth, twentieth, twenty-first, twenty-second, twenty-third, and twenty-fifth days.
Evil-Repelling and Evil-Driving
Those who attract evil energy due to conflicting with the Year God can use black obsidian pho xiu (a mythical creature). Black obsidian is known as the "Black Diamond Warrior" and is an extremely powerful evil-repelling gemstone. A black obsidian pho xiu bracelet combines the evil-repelling power of black obsidian with the wealth-attracting ability of the pho xiu, making it popular among people of all ages. Another method is to use mugwort. Mugwort has been used since ancient times to repel evil and eliminate disasters. In ancient times, people would hang mugwort leaves at the door during their zodiac year to seek safety, good fortune, and prosperity. Newlyweds would pray for lasting love. This custom is still practiced in many places today. Using mugwort to drive away the evil energy of the Year God can help eliminate disasters and difficulties.
