According to Chinese Astrology, if you disturb or offend Tai Sui (the Grand Duke Jupiter), misfortune and problems will come to you. So, the location of the annual Tai Sui should be paid much attention to.

In 2018, the Grand Duke is located in the Northwest. The Year Breaker Star clashes with the Grand Duke and should be treated with the same degree of caution. The direction of Year Breaker is located in the Southest in 2018. 

What to Avoid:
1. Avoid moving into a house facing towards the Grand Duke that is Northwest in this year.
2. Avoid renovations, groundbreaking or major changes in the two directions of Northwest and Southest.
3. Don’t sit facing the Grand Duke or sleep with your head pointing towards his direction.
4. In 2018, if you are born in the year of the Dog, Dragon, Rooster, Ox and Sheep, you will clash with Tai Sui. So you shall avoid the above two directions especially. → Chinese Zodiac 'Clash with Tai Sui' with Remedies

2018 Three Killings Direction
Three Killings (3 Killings, 3 Evils or San Sha 三煞) usually cause obstacles, mishaps, misfortunes and disasters to you if you couldn’t treat it properly. It is one of the major afflictions that need to be updated before the Chinese New Year (Li Chun or the beginning of spring). 2018 is the year of Dog. Tiger, Horse and Dog, one of the Four Compatible Groups (San He 三合), form the fire chart and fire indicates south, so the opposit direction of south which is north is the direction of Three Killings. 

What to Avoid?
1. The direction of Three Killings shall be static rather than dynamic and this area shall have no groundbreaking, crossbar or pillar, or placed with plants or potted plants, so as to avoid offending the Three Killings.
2. No entrance here. It means the door of shop, house or office shall not be at the Three Killings direction.
3. The office (seat) or bedroom (bed) shall not be located at the Three Killings direction.
