Many people intend to pay respects and entrust their fortune to the Tai Sui deity who is regarded as the "keeper of the destiny ledger" for the new year. Worshiping him during Chinese New Year brings peace of mind and auspiciousness according to Chinese astrological beliefs passed down for thousands of years.
The Tai Sui deity for 2026 is named "Khun Phon Bung Tia Tai Jiang Kung" the protector of the Fire Horse year's destiny. One may ask for good fortune, safety, wisdom, and decisiveness in various matters.
However, it is important to know that the Tai Sui deity embodies "justice" and records people's good and bad deeds. Therefore, improper requests will not only be denied but may also negatively affect one's destiny.
There are strict rules when communicating with the just deity Tai Sui.
1. Do not request immoral things, such as becoming wealthy through illegal business or successfully taking someone else's beloved possessions.
2. Do not wish harm on others. Cursing or asking for an enemy's ruin in front of the Tai Sui deity will backfire on the petitioner because Tai Sui is a god of justice.
3. Do not make unreasonable or excessive requests, such as asking to win the lottery every time without effort (the deity grants luck according to one's merit and fate).
In any case, when praying to Tai Sui, requests should be realistic, moral, and made with mindfulness. In 2026, the Fire Horse year, energy will be quite intense. If one prays with a calm, humble, and grateful heart, auspicious energy will protect us through all crises.
