Relation to Thái Tuế (Tai Sui) in 2028 (Mậu Thân)
The Rat is in the same triple-harmony group as the year's branch Thân. Tradition reads this as favourable.
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.
