Introduction: The zodiac animals that will be affected by the Tai Sui in 2026 are the Horse (affected by both the Tai Sui and the Self-Imprisonment), the Rat (affected by the Clash of the Tai Sui), the Ox (affected by the Harm of the Tai Sui), and the Rabbit (affected by the Break of the Tai Sui). The core of the solution is "adjusting the energy field, maintaining stable behavior, and relying on auspicious people"; for the Horse, the time to avoid the Tai Sui is during the Zi hour (23:00-1:00) on the first day of the first lunar month, and during this time, one must stay alone and remain still.

How to Resolve the Tai Sui Affected Zodiac Animals in 2026

According to "Yuan Hai Zi Ping", it says, "When the Tai Sui is on your head, there may be misfortune without joy." In 2026, the year is Bing Wu, with the Earthly Branch being Wu Fire. Because the zodiac animals affected by the Tai Sui have different relationships of generation and restraint with Wu Fire, the focus of resolution varies, but the core principle remains "coordinating the energy without conflict and accumulating good deeds for blessings."

Horse: Double Affliction of the Tai Sui, Stabilizing the Mind and Energy is Key People born in the Year of the Horse face "Wu-Wu Fu Yin + Self-Imprisonment," which can lead to internal conflicts and interpersonal disputes. It is recommended to develop the habit of "morning reflection," lying still for 3 minutes after waking up each day to organize the day's plans and avoid chaos;

Wearing a silver three-merit auspicious person (Tiger, Dog) pendant can help guide fire irritability through the metal energy, in line with the logic of "fire being relieved by metal." As stated in "The Classic of the Way and Its Virtue," "Do not do evil, but do good deeds," one can participate in a public welfare donation once a month or actively help neighbors with difficulties, accumulating good deeds to protect the energy field.

Rat: Strongest Clash of the Tai Sui, Avoiding Conflict and Stabilizing Movement is Core The Rat (Zi) clashes with the Horse (Wu), causing sudden changes. It is essential to "avoid conflict and stabilize the environment." Avoid making major decisions such as moving house or changing jobs during the fifth lunar month (Wu Month);

In daily life, interact more with friends and family born in the Year of the Ox or Dragon (Zi-Chou He, Zi-Chen He) to buffer the impact through harmonious connections. Place a small ceramic ox figurine in the office or living room to block water and fire, thus mitigating the direct impact of "Zi-Wu Clash." Carry a talisman when traveling to maintain steady steps and reduce the risk of accidents.

Ox: Hidden Damage from the Tai Sui, Preventing Small Issues to Protect Fate The Ox (Chou) has a six-harm relationship with the Horse (Wu), leading to hidden losses and susceptibility to minor villains and financial mistakes. Develop the habit of "weekly review," checking income and expenditure details and interpersonal interactions to avoid lending money or making blind investments;

Wear clothing with red, purple, and other fire-related elements, as Wu Fire generates Chou Earth, using "smooth generation" to counteract "mutual harm." Keep the northeast direction (Chou direction) at home clean and place a pot of evergreen greenery to drive away hidden loss energy. When encountering disagreements, speak less and act carefully to avoid getting involved in disputes.

Rabbit: Breaking of the Tai Sui, Consolidating the Field and Enhancing Efficiency is Appropriate The Rabbit (Mao) is broken by the Horse (Wu), leading to issues like betrayal in cooperation and changes in plans. Back up important documents promptly and retain written evidence for major agreements, preparing backup plans in advance;

Wear wooden accessories (Mao belongs to Wood) to enhance the cohesion of one's energy field and reduce dissipation. Focus on core tasks at work and avoid taking on multiple projects simultaneously to prevent distraction. Organize the desk before bedtime every day to reflect the logic of "stabilized energy field leads to smooth affairs."

When Should the Horse Avoid the Tai Sui in 2026?

According to "Xie Ji Bian Fang Shu," it says, "During the transition of the Tai Sui, it is better to be still than active." Avoiding the Tai Sui is a key ritual for resolving the situation in the birth year. The core is "avoiding the turbulent period of the Tai Sui energy field transfer." For those born in the Year of the Horse, avoiding the Tai Sui in 2026 requires grasping the time and details.

Core Time to Avoid the Tai Sui: Zi Hour on the First Day of the First Lunar Month The first day of the first lunar month in 2026 is the day of Tai Sui transition. The Zi hour (23:00-1:00) is the most turbulent moment of energy. Those born in the Year of the Horse need to enter a private space before this time, turn off electronic devices such as mobile phones and televisions, avoid communication with others, quarrels, or physical labor.

They can meditate quietly or read books, keeping their minds calm until the Chou hour (after 1:00), after which the avoidance of the Tai Sui can end. During this time, they should avoid going out or meeting strangers to prevent colliding with the Tai Sui energy field.

Details of Avoiding the Tai Sui: Stability of Environment and Mindset The space for avoiding the Tai Sui should be chosen as the bedroom at home. Clean and organize it in advance, and place a white magnolia or lavender plant to stabilize the energy field with its fresh scent. Wear clothes in beige or light brown (earth attributes), using the "fire generating earth" relationship to harmonize the energy field.

Prepare warm water and snacks in advance to avoid distractions due to hunger or thirst during the avoidance of the Tai Sui. After the ritual, pay New Year's greetings to elders to strengthen protection through their positive energy. Avoid immediately going to noisy places.

After Avoiding the Tai Sui: Continuing to Stabilize the Field and Protect the Fate Avoiding the Tai Sui is not a one-time solution; subsequent actions should continue the "stabilizing field" habit. Avoid attending funerals or visiting the sick during the first lunar month, as these activities carry negative energy. Do not pile up clutter in the southern part of the home (the Wu direction), and instead place a metal ornament to relieve the fire irritation.

Extend the "stillness" mindset of avoiding the Tai Sui into daily life. When facing urgent situations, take deep breaths to calm down, gradually forming an energy field habit of "stability leads to smoothness," helping to maintain a smooth fortune throughout the year. Peaceful Fate, Stable Mind Leads to Smoothness Focusing on resolving the Tai Sui and the ritual of avoiding the Tai Sui essentially reflects a sincere wish for a smooth life. However, "Lun Heng" already said, "Destiny is created by oneself, and luck follows the mind." Zodiac destiny is a reminder of energy flow, not a predetermined outcome. True resolution lies in the harmony of mindset and action.

There is no need to fear the concept of being affected by the Tai Sui. The gentle warmth of silver ornaments, the warmth of good deeds, and the quiet reflection of solitude can all become protective forces. There is no need to view avoiding the Tai Sui as superstition; it is simply a ritual to teach you to "stay still and accumulate strength" at the beginning of the year. You, born in the Year of the Horse and other affected zodiac animals, have a unique energy field. Just maintain inner peace and move forward step by step, and you can avoid misfortune and seek good fortune.

May you find solutions when facing difficulties and overcome dangers in 2026. May your career steadily progress and your relationships have warm companionship. May your body and mind always be at peace. In the cycle of years, always find balance between stability and progress, making this year a beautiful journey of self-cultivation and smooth growth.
