Tai Sui influence - Also known as "God of the Year" or "Grand Duke Jupiter": A year of transition, proceed in ALL things with caution!  When it is your zodiac year, people often misunderstand and believe that their luck will be better, however, quite the contrary is true.  When it is your zodiac year, it is the beginning of an entirely new cycle for you often with many changes and transitions - the energy is very unsettled.  Carry the Pi Chu to smooth the way so the year proceeds with minimal problems.

(DOG in 2024)
Facing Tai Sui influence - This influence will affect the clashing sign which is the zodiac sign 180-degrees or completely opposite that of the current year.  This indicates the energy of the year may be completely opposite the usual nature of that sign.  It is often a challenging year with many obstacles, interruptions, difficulties, delays, and loss.  Carry the Pi Chu to smooth the way so the year proceeds with minimal problems.

Minor Loss influence - it can be used to protect against loss of money as well as loss through robbery, betrayal, sickness, or accident.

The Pi Chu is a protective heavenly creature resembling a Chinese Lion with horn(s), and little wings allowing it to fly between Heaven and Earth.

The 9th son of the Dragon King, and favorite of the Jade Emperor, the Pi Chu eats but does not dispose.  With its big infinite appetite, especially for gold, silver, and jewels, it is recommended for people who want lots of money coming in but not a lot of money going out.

Fierce guardian and loyal protector, they ward off, attack, and eat demons, evil spirits, disease, and bad luck— turning it into great wealth.

Use to suppress negative harmful energy while bestowing good fortune.

***

Pi Chu (regardless of whether it is the male or female variety) provides a minimum of eight blessings:

• Brings good luck and fortune
• Generates good Feng Shui or Earth luck
• Attracts wealth and prosperity
• Protects individuals, homes, and businesses
• Drives away obstacles and hardships
• Grants windfall luck
• Guards against accidents in travel
• Appeases Tai Sui and brings good favor

This Pi Chu charm also features Chinese Coins to attract wealth & prosperity, to represent the metal element, and as a symbol of protection. 

The unique shape of Chinese coins represents balance and harmony: the square hole in the middle represents Earth, while the round circle of the coin itself represents Heaven. 

***

Sometimes depicted with 2 horns, the female Pi Chu, Bìxié (辟邪 bìxié, meaning to ward off evil spirits) is better at protecting.

Sometimes depicted with 1 horns, the male Pi Chu, Tiānlù (天祿; tiānlù, meaning heavenly blessing/prosperity) is better at amassing wealth.

How to use if placing in home or business:
Place in the yearly direction of the Tai Sui Influence and Facing Tai Sui Influence.
(If possible, have it FACING the direction of the Tai Sui/Facing Tai Sui Influence if there is a door or window in that direction.)
It can also be displayed in the Living Room.

Do not place in the bathroom or directly on the floor (unclean energy, disrespectful).

Keep on an elevated surface, but lower than deity statues (disrespectful if placed higher).

Do not place in the bedroom (place of rest, personal activity).

Do not face it directly at you, where you sit, or rest (their energy may be too strong).

Alternatively, can be placed in locations of importance if not in conflict with other influences.
