Ox in 2027: Clashing with Tai Sui

The Ox and Tai Sui in 2027

Tai Sui sits in Wei this year, and the Ox's birth-year branch is Chou. Chou and Wei clash, so the Ox clashes with Tai Sui.

Ox birth years: 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009 and 2021 (counting from the Start of Spring).

How tradition sees a clash

A clash means impact and confrontation, traditionally linked with change, travel and sudden turns. Chou and Wei are both Earth — one of late winter, one of late summer, one cold and one dry — standing opposite each other.

Of all the Tai Sui relationships, tradition regards the clash as the strongest.

Why the Ox does not count as a Punishment by sign alone

Chou, Wei and Xu together form one of the Three Punishments. But by zodiac sign alone, the Ox in 2027 counts only as a Clash: the full punishment forms only when a person's own chart contains both Chou and Xu and the year brings Wei. Whether that is the case depends on the whole chart.

Things to keep an eye on

• ✦Work: a year of movement. If you were already planning a change, think it through before you act; if not, there is no need to change for change's sake.
• ✦People: leave room in what you say, and put agreements in writing to avoid disputes.
• ✦Travel: you may be on the move more than usual — take a little extra care.
• ✦Health: keep regular hours and balance work with rest; see a doctor when you feel unwell.

Start with your chart

If other characters in your chart combine or clash with Wei, the weight of the clash changes. Only your full chart shows it clearly.
