乙未羊年安奉當年太歲星君 Paying Respect to Lord Tai Sui Of Yi Wei Goat Year 2015

乙未羊年生肖運程之犯衝刑太歲表 
Chinese Zodiacs Luck in Yi Wei Goat Year 2015 - Conflicts with Lord Tai Sui

Its again the period for Jave Wu to do the analysis of the Luck for the various Chinese Zodiacs for the Year of Goat (2015) aka Yi Wei Goat Year (乙未羊年), Taoist Calendar Year 7203 (道曆七千二百零三年) & Lunar Calendar aka Huang Li Year 4712 (黃曆四千七百十二年).

Huang Li aka Lunar Calendar was founded accordingly to the founding year by Yellow Emperor aka Huang Di (軒轅黃帝).

As for Taoist Calendar, many Taoists or People had been using the same calculation method as Lunar Calendar which is not very accurate. In here, Jave will like to use this opportunity to correct it back. According to records, Taoist Calendar should follow the founding year when the oldest painting of Nv Wa (女媧蛇身畫軸) was founded, which was 7203 years ago.

Ok, direct to the topic:

For Yi Wei Goat Year, the following Chinese Zodiacs will have some minor issues with Lord Tai Sui General Yang Xian. In Official Taoist Records in Southern & Northern Period, the Tai Sui of Yi Wei Goat Year was known as Long Bi Hong. The version that we are using now is from Qing Dynasty, which have got a lot of mistakes that have yet to be clarify or change. (乙未羊年當年太歲楊仙將軍又作楊賢/楊建。真正名諱為龍畢鴻 – 記載於” 南北朝六十甲子太歲名錄”, 目前所用的為清朝版本):

Direct Front-facing (Direct Conflict) with Lord Tai Sui of Yi Wei Goat Year:
Goat (正犯太歲: 羊)

Lunar Age involved (農曆虛歲): 13, 25, 37, 49, 61, 73, 85, 97

Direct Back-facing (In-direct Conflict) with Lord Tai Sui of Yi Wei Goat Year:

For age Below or Of 12 & Above or Of 99 wont be affected by the Conflicts or Issue-facing with Lord Tai Sui, so for those who have kids and elders of this Age-group, please do not worry so much (童生不越虛歲十二﹐老者虛歲欲百﹐皆不與太歲犯衝刑。).

For those who are Affected and needed the Assistance from Long Shan Men in getting the Spiritual Petition (安奉太歲疏文), please feel free to contact me at javecxwu@gmail.com or PM me.

乙未羊年安奉當年太歲星君
Paying Respect to Lord Tai Sui Of Yi Wei Goat Year 2015

Dear All,

After Dong Zhi aka Winter Solstice of Year 2014, all Paying of Gratitude to Lord Tai Sui of Jia Wu Horse Year (民間一般通常在冬至之前答謝該年當值太歲星君) will end (for those who miss this, usually will do it before 16th Day of Lunar 12 Month of the Year or the Day for Thanksgiving Ceremony (如若有人無法在冬至前答謝﹐可在歲末答謝神恩時或尾牙答謝該年當值太歲星君) or before 24th Day of Lunar 12 Month 或者在臘月廿四日前答謝也可).

何時為安奉新年當值太歲星君 So when is the Best timing or Accurate Day to pay respect to General Xu Dan?

真正安奉當值太歲星君為立春日。

According to Chinese Custom & Taoist Practice Records, the Best & Accurate Day to pay respect to a the Lord Tai Sui of the New Lunar Year starts on Li Chun Day - which means that, the Initial Starts of the Spring Season (a lot of people may think that the 1st Day of Lunar 1 Month is the start of a New Lunar Year, but actually is not, if we are to go according to the Old Ancient Calendar, Li Chun shall be the actual day of the arrival of Spring Season).

So when is Li Chun Day for Yi Wei Goat Year?

Li Chun Day for Yi Wei Goat Year falls on 16th Day of Lunar 12 Month of Jia Wu Horse Year (甲午馬年臘月十六日), 04 Feb 2015, after 12:09hr (Horse Hour 午時).

Protection & Blessing Items for Oneself

Recently, many People had approached me for the enquiry of what Items to be bought in-order to do Self-protection for the Conflict-issue against the Lord Tai Sui.

安奉當值太歲星君所需供品/物件 Here are a few items that oneself can get:

1) Wu Di Qian aka The Five Emperors Coin (五帝錢)

Pls refer to link 五帝錢簡介: http://javewutaoismplace.blogspot.sg/2007/12/wu-di-qian-aka-five-ancient-coins-of_2302.html

2) Wooden Pendant (木制墜子)

For example, Wooden Ru Yi Pendant (木如意)

3) Golden Jewelry (金飾)

4) Tai Sui Coin (太歲錢)

5) A Copy of Lord Tai Sui Praise Incantation (太歲寶誥)

Remember, the Tai Sui Incantation must be written by oneself, do not ask anyone to do the copying or writing on behalf of you. This Incantation can be written or copy after 24th Day of Lunar 12 Month.

The Incantation can be found in (太歲寶誥資料):

http://javewutaoismplace.blogspot.sg/2007/09/pictures-of-lord-tai-sui_9423.html

Copy it on a Red or Yellow Paper with the dimension of 10cm by 10cm.

After complete writing, on the Day of Paying Respect to Lord Tai Sui, bring it along and then before burning off the Paper Offerings, bring out the Mantra and bring it on top of the Urn, go 3 rounds on top of the Incense Fume and then keep it in the Wallet.

Whenever Oneself feels uneasy or frustrated, take it out and recite once, the Issues that you faced will somehow be solved.

Last of All, wish everyone after paying respect to General Xu Dan, All necessary blessings will be bestowed to you and your family.
