Rat in 2026 (Bính Ngọ): Tai Sui, taboo years and the 12 months

This page only shows how the animal, the year and the months relate under calendar rules. It is not a prediction of events and not advice on health, money or marriage.

Relation to Thái Tuế (Tai Sui) in 2026 (Bính Ngọ)

The Rat clashes with the year's branch Ngọ (six clashes). Tradition calls this clashing with Thái Tuế and regards it as a year for weighing big decisions carefully.

Some books also consider Phá (break) and Hình (punishment) with Thái Tuế, but sources disagree so they are not listed here.

The Rat is not in Tam Tai this year. The Tam Tai years of this group are: Dần, Mão, Thìn.

By specific birth year (ages 20 to 70)

Nominal age = target year − lunar birth year + 1. Kim Lâu uses the remainder of the nominal age by 9, Hoang Ốc the digit sum by 6; folk beliefs, and books differ.

Relation to each lunar month

The month branch follows the lunar month (the first month is Dần). Counts of Hoàng đạo, clashing, harming and harmonious days use each day's Earthly Branch.
