How the Taisui is deduced is very simple if we know the animal sign of the year for the taisui will be in the direction that the animal sign occupies. For example 2008 is the year of the rat and as the rat occupies the northern direction, Taisui is in the north direction for that year. 2007 is the year of the ox which occupies the northwest direction which was also the direction of Taisui.
Most of the eminent experts view is that it is not wise to confront Taisui. This means that one must never sit or face a direction that is occupied by Taisui. Is this correct? Going by what the almanac describes, the relationship of Taisui is only consulted when it comes to entombment or burial which goes to say that it is relevant to matters concerning the dead. It becomes hard to think of it as involving matters related to us living people.
The logic of Taisui rests on the fact of the wood element being detrimental to earth. As burial involves breaking and opening up of the earth it makes sense. This concept comes from the original concept of the image of a seedling breaking out form the earth causing change. Viewed from the perspective of the earth it talks about being broken open but form another perspective there is the growth of the seedling which is renewal. Taking this a little further, it is quite difficult to relate to the theory that a tomb facing north will be effected more than another facing west as all other things being equal both are open to the rays of the sun as well as other effects that could possibly be present.
Astrology being astrology, sometimes common sense eludes us. One thing though is certain and that is to relate Taisui to homes becomes most questionable.
