How to
pray to Grand Duke Jupiter "Tai Sui"?
There are basically two ways of
praying to the "Tai Sui" : "Age Suppression" (Ya Tai Sui) and "Age
Praying" (Pai Tai Sui). This is to be done at Temple.
"Age
Suppression" (Ya Tai Sui)
The former refers to a situation where one prays to the Deity when

write down one's birth date and time on a piece of gold-coloured
paper and place it under the idol of the "Tai Sui". A year later,
this person must "return" the age that he has previously
"suppressed". In some cases, 49 copper coins are used to suppress
the paper with one's birth date and time. However, this method is
not very safe and you will need someone who is familiar with the
method to be around to give you guidance. the Temple attendant got
to do it for you then you give him/her an ang pow for the help
& good luck.
"Age
Praying" (Pai Tai Sui)
The latter, termed "Age Praying", occurs when one is doing fine
& experiencing good luck therefore pray to "Tai Sui" so they
will not have any adverse effects due to clash, conflict or offend
of "Tai Sui" in that particular year. In this case, the birth date
and time are written down on a piece of gold-coloured paper which
is then brought in front of the "Tai Sui" and burned after saying
prayers. This is a safer and more practical method.
