Why do we need to do a check and balance on feng shui annually?

Feng shui winds blow differently each year. Highly accurate, the Flying Star Chart reveals the time dimension of energy changes for each corner of your house. Understanding the forces revealed and proactive remedy will help you to navigate through misfortunes, illnesses, pitfalls and troubles. Proactive remedy refers to the placement of appropriate cures and enhancers to generate energy vortexes that subdue afflictions or magnify positivities.

Whether one is using Luan Tou (Landscape) or Time Dimension feng shui, the fundamental principle of feng shui requires one to divide a space into 9 equal chambers or palaces. These respective chambers will have eight compass bearings: North, South, East, West, Northeast, Northwest, Southeast and Southwest. One will then have to superimpose this simple chart onto the space of study (object). The space of study can be the world, a country, a district, a city, a home and a living room. A bigger space of study is known as “big tai chi” while the smaller space of study is known as “small tai chi”.

Next, you will need to incorporate “time dimension” into the study of these 9 palaces. As time changes, the luck of each palace will change accordingly due to the change of “chi” (energy) in these palaces. The luck cycle will keep changing every 180 years, every 20 years, every year, every month, every day, every hour and every quarter hour. From this you can actually predict the events that will happen. Say for example if you check the 9 palaces of a house according to the change of time, you can predict which year the houseowner will be prone to extramarital affairs, which year he will have substantial financial gains and which year he will fall sick. This can method can be applied to almost every incident in your daily life and you will be simply amazed at the propensity on fulfilling your predictions is actually quite high.

But do not overdo this, else it can become sheer tribulation, where you will be overly concerned with where you will go and what you should and what you should not do by constantly checking your quarterly hour charts. The best option is to focus only on two important charts that will contribute significantly to the quality of chi of our space:

  1. The natal flying star chart of a house (where the types of chi will remain forever in the same chambers until the next significant renovation is conducted or the building is demolished) – this will determine the life destiny of the occupant staying in the house till the end.
  2. The annual chart – this will determine the fortune of the occupant for that particular year. Even so, it cannot be ignored because the results is more explosive. For example, if one knows how to tap the fortune luck of the year, he could become rich very fast. Similarly, if one ignores a misfortune spot of the house, he could end up a failure immediately.

What you cannot do with Flying Stars feng shui?

It is difficult to change the luck that is affecting something of a larger scale, say the whole world, a country or a city. For example, the outbreak of Covid-19 (back in 2020) could not be avoided when Burglary Star #7 flew to the center and robbed the world. But individuals could choose to escape from it even though the majority of the world is being affected by it. Although the world that you are staying in is an important influence, but what determines your individual luck is still determined by the nearest means of container that keeps you in it. The container in this context is your own home sweet home. And you can definitely determine your own luck by cleverly updating the feng shui of your own home.

When will the annual luck cycle change every year?

The change of energy in 9 palaces follows the chinese SOLAR calendar. Every year, 3rd or 4th February would be the date of change in energy. So, remember that feng shui is never static. The dynamism of feng shui lies in the changing of stars in different sectors and directions of our homes, premises and even in our geographical map. There are good and bad stars that move from one location to another every year and must NEVER be taken lightly. And if you know how to identify the good and bad locations in your homes, then you will be able to apply remedies for problematic areas and enhance the luck of the good areas. You will then be able to capitalize the best out of the year and prevent misfortunes brought by the bad energies.

Introducing Annual Bad Stars and Afflictions

In feng shui practice, we ought to PROTECT and DEFEND against any bad luck as the first step before trying to activate for any good luck. Neglecting this protective step will result in one experiencing problems more than having good luck. In general, each year has certain directions that are considered inauspicious because they exert evil influences (known as shar chi) and they can bring danger if unattended. Those who choose not to do anything or keeping those areas quiet are simply like ignoring sickness symptoms passively and hoping that nothing will happen. If one is lucky, of course it still stands a good chance that nothing will happen. But the more proactive ones will cure them to prevent the symptoms from turning into fatal diseases. The followings are the annual afflictions in general that we need to take pre-caution against. The basis of knowing feng shui is for us to get ourselves prepared and defend against bad luck. If we do not wish to do anything, then it is better not to learn feng shui.

Disastrous Flying Stars
1. Fatal Star #5 Yellow (Wu Huang)
2. Illness Star #2 Black (Er Hei)
Dangerous Annual Afflictions (Shar Chi):
3. Three Killings (San Shar)
4. Grand Duke Jupiter (Tai Sui)
5. Year Breaker(Sui Po)
Troublesome Flying Stars:
6. Violent Star #7
7. Quarrelsome Star #3

The Fatal Star #5 Yellow, Illness Star #2 Black, Violent Star #7 and Quarrelsome Star#3, formulated from flying star charts in “San Yuan” school of Feng Shui, are related to Luo Shu and the annual location of them are in one of the 9 palaces of the bagua.

Next, the theories of Three Killings (San Shar), Grand Duke Jupiter (Tai Sui) and Broken Year (Sui Po) are originated from the “San He” system of Feng Shui, which later got incorporated into the San Yuan system of Feng Shui during Ming Dynasty. San He uses the concepts of Four Pillars to read Feng Shui. The primary factor involved in recognizing the location of San Shar, Tai Sui, and Sui Po is the branch of the Year. This factor will determine all of their annual positions.

Introduction to Good and Fortunate Stars

To achieve benefit from feng shui, besides defending against the evil, we also ought to know what the good stars are and where they are located every year. Knowing how to capitalize on them will bring success, good fortune, wealth, good health and opportunities for a smooth ride for the whole year. The followings are the good stars that we ought to harvest our luck from:

Good Flying Stars
1. Wealth Star #8 White
2. Advancement Star #9 Purple
3. Career Star #1 White
4. Heaven/Windfall Star #6 White

Moderate Flying Star:
5. Wen Chang Star #4 Green

Setting Up Countermeasures and Enhancers

The art and science of setting up countermeasures to deal with aversive conditions and installing enhancers to improve on existing conditions have become a very important part of a traditional feng shui purist’s knowledge. It is almost impossible not to use countermeasures and enhancers when working with the feng shui of a building. Even if you have optimal positions in the nine palaces in the geomantic chart, the stars of the yearly and monthly cycles change, and you may have to use countermeasures to lessen the impact of destructive effects and enhancers to bolster beneficial influences. In fact in differentiating yin and yang schools of feng shui, lucky motifs and symbols are a must in the practice of dwellings for the living (yang feng shui). Because auspicious symbols will activate “yang” energy. While feng shui for graveyards (yin feng shui) are supposed to be done with little to no symbols. It is therefore a big mistake for dwelling for the living to apply “yin feng shui” practices. Countermeasures deal with aversive conditions. They are designed to help us avoid, dissolve, weaken, or remove destructive energy. While countermeasures are used to neutralize undesirable effects, enhancers are designed to increase desirable effects. Typically, an enhancer is placed in an area to strengthen the energy associated with the benevolent star. Enhancers work n the opposite direction of countermeasures.

Feng shui purists have always proactively introduce “intervention” to counter the harmful effects of malevolent stars. This makes sense as malevolent stars need “immediate attention”. “Intervention” involves countering the malevolent stars by neutralizing the energy associated with them. Using the knowledge of how the the elements nourish, weaken and destroy each other, it is possible to place objects or artifacts in strategic locations to counter the effects of malevolent stars. The artifacts are carriers of elemental energy, and can be used to lessen or even eliminate the harmful effects brought on by the star’s element.

Staunch traditionalists normally consider the combination of “three factors” when prescribing feng shui countermeasures and enhancers:

  1. Those using esoteric, religious, imagistic, symbolic, iconic or magical remedies.
  2. Those using Form and alignment considerations, by absorbing, blocking or deflecting sha chi. 
  3. Those using element interactions to reduce or enhance an element. 


Only remedies that encompass all the three factors above are considered as appropriate feng shui remedies that can certainly help to correct or enhance feng shui. All these are “yang cures” and help counter an excess of yin, opposite of yang, darkness, silence and stillness. A practical suggestion is to choose remedies as close as possible to traditional remedies. Feng shui is susceptible to deduction, but you need to guard against using your intuition and making up remedies. For example, colors is a useful reinforcing adjunct to placed remedies, but be wary of using it solely on its own. Colors alone do not work. A red floor rug for example has zero effect on countering #3 Green star. Another example of wrong remedy is to use a lump of metal such as metal trophies to counter dangerous stars such as #5 Yellow or #2 Black stars. The reason windchimes are used instead is because passing breezes will stir metal windchimes, thus keeping the metal activated, where most of the effects is derived from the passage of the chi through the windchimes.

Some pseudo practitioners believe on the principle of “avoidance”. They believe that if movement is lessened in an area, the destructive effect is minimized. This is not the best way to deal with malevolent stars and can be very dangerous. Such practice is often being disregarded by the purists who would prefer to proactively apply an “intervention”. Inactivity is overly reactive and not a remedy.

The annual chart can be superimposed onto the floor plan of any home, office and even individual rooms to understand how the luck patterns will change with the new year. This will allow you to install the appropriate feng shui enhancers and cures to activate lucky stars while suppressing unlucky ones.

When will the annual stars transition and when is the expiration date of cures and enhancers?

For the lunar Year of Dragon in 2024, the locations of the afflictions and fortunes mentioned above are pre-calculated and shown in the 9 palaces of the flying star map below. This new chart will only be effective starting 4th February 2024. This follows the solar calendar, which begins with the start of spring. The Flying Star system does not follow the Chinese Lunar year, which has a variable commencement date. Spring is known as “Lap Chun” in chinese.

What is the significance of the Dragon Year in Feng Shui?

2024 is the year of the Dragon. Customarily, there are two major animal signs, out of twelve years in a cycle, that feng shui practitioners would pay particular attention to. They are the Tiger year and the Dragon year. Particular attention has always been paid to the Tiger year, a cautionary one that has always been treated with wariness. On the contrary, the Dragon year is hugely welcomed by many because it holds a lot of good prospects and excellent vibes. Feng shui practitioners have long believed that the Dragon is the most auspicious celestial animal that gives a propitious start and holds a lot of power in transforming lives in a big manner. By tradition, feng shui practitioners would take this opportunity to introduce new dragon figurines or images during its year as their powers are multiplied, taking on the year’s energy and injecting a high dose of optimism for many good years to come. The mere symbolic presence of the dragons can make all the difference to ones luck. Married couples would go as far as preparing themselves to conceive a baby dragon before the year ends, because having a dragon child in the house is believed to be able to change the destiny for the family to a better one.    

Usher in Period 9 symbols when updating your Annual Feng Shui Luck

The Year of Dragon in 2024 also sees the “ruling number” of the Flying Stars change from 8 to 9, where we officially transition into Period 9 on 4th February 2024 for the next twenty years until 2043. All houses will experience transformational vibes and a prime change in energies as we move from Period 8 to Period 9. The characteristics of Period 9 will be totally different from the last twenty years. The cosmic energies belonging to Period 8 will experience a scale down when Period 9 starts. And feng shui objects that were used in the past period will immediately weaken in its strength as well.  It is therefore customary for feng shui masters to recommend that cures and enhancers to be changed to new ones as we embark into a new period in order to uplift the energy of the new chapter.  The changing of periods is considered as a very important milestone. Therefore special attention is paid in our recommendations for 2024, where we will help you to cleverly incorporate period 9 compliant remedies as well as enhancers to align and accommodate that totally new energy, in order to optimize your annual feng shui luck update. 

When practicing feng shui, everything revolves around three steps, and they are REMOVE, REPLACE and MOVE. Either one of the following three steps are to be taken during the change of a period:

  1. REMOVE – refers to getting rid of something old and had gone bad such as cures that were used to subdue afflictive energies in Period 8. Even if you do not plan to replace them with new ones, they will need to be disposed. These include all CURES that still look well preserved such as five element pagodas, wind chimes, baguas, salt water anren cure, six coins  and anything that falls under the category of preventing mishaps from bad stars. 
  2. REPLACE – refers to getting new cures and enhancers to “add on” or “totally replace” the old ones that have lapsed or worn out in their “batteries”, in order for the same type and amount of lucky vibes to be restored in a space. This bold move translates to the easiest and most rewarding of all three. Traditionalist will emphasize that the quality of energy of any up-to-date feng shui object based on its “freshness” is far more influential. This suggests that even if a past feng shui object appeared beneficial to you in Period 8, you should still endeavor to change the item into a new one, be it is the same exact thing.
  3. MOVE – refers to moving an old feng shui object to a less needy place or sector such as to the outdoor patio or rooms that aren’t of primary importance. It may also be referring to a change of location due to a change in the characteristics of some stars. As not everything needs to be retired such as ENHANCERS that are less than 2 years old (as a rule of thumb), they can still be kept if they are still in good shape or salvaged for their sentimental values. These are ENHANCERS such as treasure pots, wealth enhancing objects, figurines of celestial animals and anything that falls under the category of enhancing luck on good stars. 

Changes in the Power of Star Numbers in Period 9

As Feng Shui is cyclical, the Period Feng Shui luck changes periodically. There are stars that will have different meanings or implications in different periods. In general, #1, #6 and #8 are regarded as auspicious stars. Among them, #5 is the most calamitous, followed by #2 and #3. When time factor is taken, #5, #2 and #3 can become auspicious during their ruling periods. The followings are our interpretations with regards to the the power and characteristics of each star in Period 9, not found in any book or elsewhere over the internet:

  • #8 is no longer the ruling star in Period 9. But #8 is still intrinsically a general prosperity star in all periods. Although its power was “amplified” in Period 8 and will go back to its original form in Period 9, it is still a benevolent star that gives positive effects in generating wealth. There is certain amount of controversy with regards to this star now. However, this star definitely does NOT fall into the category of faded prosperity. As long as we deploy more powerful energizer to obtain positive results and suppress the downside of this star when it is untimely, it will still bring progressive wealth and long prosperity.
  • #9 has become the chief star and an immediate prosperity star in Period 9. When activated, it will also enable one to see promotion to higher ranks. Those who are attending school will excel in academic studies, which is another type of luck to draw from #9. 
  • #7 has its threat intensified further in Period 9 to bring about a decrease in family members or fire outbreak if not cured, besides having the possibility of robbery and violence it can caused to you.
  • #1 has turned further into a more auspicious star as the future period’s wealth star. The #1 plays a pivotal role in governing long term wealth, opportunities and intuition. It is one of the most powerful future stars in-charge of power, influence and authority wielded by individuals in different spheres of society. A person’s success in Period 9 is attributed to steadfast adherence to the energy associated to the star.
  • #2 has entered into a new phase known as “waxing qi” cycle in Period 9. Although it is in general a sickness star which is still causing illnesses ferociously in Period 9, it has its positive attributes too as it becomes distant future period’s wealth star. One needs to be extra careful when activating this star for wealth and the best is to use something that can subdue the bad side totally while enhancing the milder good side of it. This means you cannot directly activate this star, but incorporate symbols that are able to kill its sickness energy and at the same time has positive meanings in generating fortune. Please be advised not to figure out your own enhancer for this star, as it takes a lot of expert knowledge, know-how and experience to do it safely. 
  • #5 is still the most destructive star in Period 9 and vital steps should be taken to remedy it.
  • #3, #4 and #6 will still behave in the same manner in Period 9 as it did in Period 8.

Analyzing the Annual 2024 Chart

The Annual Flying Star Chart with nine palaces is a map that shows the auspicious and inauspicious directions of the year. Use this chart to update and organize your house for a prosperous year. This chart is for all houses, regardless of the direction, layout and inhabitants of the houses.

The first step is to look at the annual number itself which takes prominence in the center of the Annual Flying Star Chart. Remember that the center is the heart that pumps and dominates. It means the center affects all homes and households. An unfriendly chart unfortunately, the HOSTILITY STAR #3 enters the center palace and rules the chart in 2024. Also known as #3 Green Star, it brings new enemies or cause alliances to shift and change. The energies of this star will make people become more sensitive and easily annoyed. Those who are not so diplomatic nor tactful can end up making enemies you do not need. 

Next is to look at the facing palace and also the main door’s palace of your house. If the facing palace and main door’s palace of your house has numbers 1, 4, 6, 8 and 9, your house is auspicious for the year. Houses facing east, northwest, northeast, north or southwest are good in 2024.

Then check for the axis. Palaces along northeast-southwest axis are the best with plenty of fortune waiting for you. Palaces along north-south are average. Palaces along northwest-southeast axis are inauspicious. Lastly, palaces along the east-west axis are disastrous, tragedy prone and sickly. 

Each number gives us clues to the afflictions and good fortune accurately. You should approach the year by remedying the problems first in order to protect yourself against the negative effects. New cures are designed according to inter relationships of the elements of the types of chi, flying star numbers, directions and trigrams so that they work effectively to subdue negative energies. Once all afflictions are remedied, you can benefit from the good fortune stars if you release their energies by activating them with authentic enhancers. Our enhancers work like magic by generating vortexes that will pulsate well with the intrinsic energies of good fortune stars.

Each sector will be analysed one at a time in detail below, starting with the worst to the best sectors. The more you energize the benevolent sectors and the more you suppress the malevolent sectors, the better the luck of the whole household for the year.

Annual Flying Stars Map in 2024

West

The deadliest affliction, known as the Fatal Star #5 Yellow (Lien Chen Star), moves into this sector of all houses and premises. For two decades in Period 9 (2024-2043), the WEST will be occupied by #2 of earth nature according to the Period 9 chart. Therefore when Fatal Star #5-Yellow which possesses earth energy enters into the earth sector of Illness Star #2, the afflicted energy becomes reinforced and the bad consequences become worsen. 5-2 causes terrible magnification of obstructions, serious misfortunes, family disharmony, family breakup, injuries, accidents, unwanted ailments, fatality, obstacle at work, a whole series of bad news, all sorts of difficulties and bankruptcy if this sector is disturbed or not remedied. A moment of negligence can spiral your luck from bad to worse in a heartbeat. Therefore, careful attention has to be paid in selecting a proper and authentic remedy. The cure must be authentic and acknowledged by traditional classical feng shui masters and grandmasters.

The most efficacious cure will be to display the 5 Element Garuda Pagoda in the west to subdue #5. The Five Element Pagoda always overide other ordinary cures when the earth chi becomes fatal. This pagoda features the Garuda in 5 Elements. The Garuda is an esteemed destroyer of 5-Yellow (a demon) and is also known as the mythical lord of the birds.  Since the bird realm dominates Period 9, this makes the 5 Element Pagoda featuring the Garuda a Period 9’s pagoda. Besides, the cure is mantra enhanced with the White Umbrella Goddess Mantra to sought the assistance of “Cosmic Energies” to pulverize negative forces of the Five Yellow. It uses the principle of invoking cosmic powers in a practical and effective manner to create big changes in energy without the need to avoid using this sector in 2024 once it is cured. It is like a few ounces of positive energy to deflect thousand pounds of negative forces. 

Other cautionary remarks:

  • When #5 hits the WEST, all people who are born in the year of Rooster will be affected by the #5 Yellow in 2024. According to LATER HEAVEN BAGUA, the WEST also represents the youngest daughter of the family. And the best amulet to protect them will be the Red Robe Chung Kwei Amulet.
  • One also needs to be watchful if #5 hits your main door. If it does, you are in great danger with a list of misfortunes ahead of you. Besides having the 5 Element Pagoda placed in the WEST sector, you will have to additionally hang the Windchime of Chung Kwei on the door, by the side of the door or at its door knob/handle. All inhabitants of the house will need to also carry along the Red Robe Chung Kwei Amulet for safety. 
  • If #5 is at the back door, any other door or window, the situation becomes aggravated too and you may additionally add on the Windchime of Chung Kwei same as the way you would cure for the main door.
  • One also needs to be watchful if #5 hits your bed room. If it does, you are in great danger with a list of misfortunes ahead of you. Besides having the 5 Element Pagoda placed in your bedroom, the occupant/s of the particular bed room will need to also carry along the Red Robe Chung Kwei Amulet for safety. 
  • The situation worsens if #5 hits your kitchen. This is because the kitchen has strong fire energy that reinforces #5 according to the Five Element Theory. Whether you cook or not in the kitchen, the kitchen still symbolizes strong fire element. Therefore, besides having the 5 Element Pagoda in the WEST, you will have to additionally display the Six Loshu Tortoise Lucky Array above/under the stove or in the vicinity close to the stove to protect your health.
  • Last but not least, you also need to check the monthly arrival dates of the #2, #5 or #9 into the WEST sector. These are the months to particularly guard against. During those months you should be more circumspect and not take the chances that you might ordinarily take. The months that you ought to take extra care will be April (#5), July (#2) and September (#9) in 2024.

In summary, a fatal year lies ahead if any one of the following scenarios applies to you: 

  1. Your entrance is facing the direction of WEST.
  2. Your entrance is located in the sector of WEST.
  3. Your bedroom is located in the sector of WEST.
  4. Your kitchen is located in the sector of WEST 
  5. Your Zodiac Palace is located in the WEST, eg. ROOSTER. 

All moving water features such as aquarium and water fountains should be temporarily removed for one whole year. One must always avoid any construction or renovation work in the #5 location as such activities can heighten the negative effects.

Southeast

Illness Black Star #2 (also known as Ju Men) flies to this sector to send chills. It is one of the most evil stars and is charging fiercely. Besides being infamous for provoking health issues and aggravating existing medical complications, this star also represents ill-speaking in its widest sense, particularly arguments, gossips and slander. Those with a maindoor, bedroom or kitchen here, in particular, needs to watch out for danger and long term illnesses, especially those related to abdominal and gastrointestinal areas. Having said that, even if your bedroom or kitchen is not located here, the illness energy in the SOUTHEAST should not be left unattended without a remedy. Apart from charging you with viruses and illnesses, this star is also capable of bringing about lost of wealth, injuries, gossips, lawsuits, relationship problems, insomnia (sleeping problems) and depression.

The eldest or only daughter of the family, in particular, needs to watch out for danger and long term illnesses, especially those related to abdominal and gastrointestinal areas. Having said that, even if there is no daughter in the house, the illness energy in the SOUTHEAST should not be left unattended without a remedy. It can still affect everyone. After paying careful attention to also incorporate Period 9’s energy influences, the most authentic cure to subdue #2 is the Six Loshu Tortoises Lucky Array.  The miracle Lo Shu contains the message of the basic order in chinese cosmology and reflects the cycle of destruction of the Five Elements and the tortoise is the greatest sign of health, longevity, stability and protection. The traditional use of Six Round Discs is fortified in a manner to ensure this super cure can adequately magnify the good side of #2 as well as pulverize the evil side of it.

On the feng shui front, careful attention has to be paid in the following situations:

  • When #2 hits the SOUTHEAST, all people who are born in the year of Snake and Dragon will be affected by the #2 in 2024. According to LATER HEAVEN BAGUA, the SOUTHEAST also represents the eldest daughter of the family. And the best amulet to protect them will be the King of Medicine Amulet.
  • The sector is particularly bad if it coincides with your front door, because the constant traffic will stir up its malefic tendencies. Besides having the Six Loshu Tortoises Lucky Array placed in the SOUTHEAST sector, you will have to additionally hang the Windchime of Chung Kwei on the door, by the side of the door or at its door knob/handle. All inhabitants of the house will need to also carry along the King of Medicine Amulet for protection against illnesses. 
  • If #2 is at the back door, any other door or window, the situation becomes aggravated too and you may additionally add on the Windchime of Chung Kwei same as the way you would cure for the main door.
  • One also needs to be watchful if #2 hits your bed room. If it does, you are in great danger with a list of illnesses ahead of you. Besides having the Six Loshu Tortoises Lucky Array placed in your bedroom, the occupant/s of the particular bed room will need to also carry along the King of Medicine Amulet for health protection. 
  •  If the #2 hits the kitchen, total quietness will not solve the problem even if you have the luxury to do so. Whether you cook or not in the kitchen, the kitchen is still fire element which will amplify earth element of #2. This situation can cause major illnesses. You may also additionally display the 5 Element Garuda Pagoda anywhere in the kitchen with the Six Loshu Tortoises Lucky Array parked under the hob. 
  • Last but not least, you also need to check the monthly arrival dates of the #2, #5 or #9 into the SOUTHEAST sector. These are the months to particularly guard against. During those months you should be more circumspect and not take the chances that you might ordinarily take. The months that you ought to take extra care will be April (#2), June (#9) and October (#5) in 2024.

A sickness year lies ahead if any one of the following scenarios applies to you:

  1. Your entrance is facing the direction of SOUTHEAST.
  2. Your entrance is located in the sector of SOUTHEAST.
  3. Your bedroom is located in the sector of SOUTHEAST.
  4. Your kitchen is located in the sector of SOUTHEAST. 
  5. Your Zodiac Palace is located in the SOUTHEAST, eg. SNAKE and DRAGON. 

All moving water features such as aquarium and water fountains should be temporarily removed for one whole year. One must always avoid any construction or renovation work in the Illness Star #2 location as such activities can heighten the negative effects.

Additionally, the SOUTHEAST is also the location where Tai Sui is sitting in 2024. The Tai Sui is also being referred to as the Grand Duke Jupiter or Grand Commander of the Year. The Tai Sui conflict is a serious affliction that must not be taken lightly of. This year the Tai Sui occupies  SOUTHEAST 1 ranging from 112.6 to 127.5 degrees, which is a 15 degrees span of the Dragon palace. Offending or disturbing the Tai Sui may cause various levels of effects including career setbacks, surgery, illness, injury, loss of money and fatalities. Whether you are comfortable or not with the personification of this energy as a duke, the usage of a traditional remedy is unavoidable.

The traditional use of Tai Sui Plaque in this area will greatly help to appease the Tai Sui. The presence of the Tai Sui Incantation on the plaque will essentially align the cosmic forces to synchronize with the detrimental vibes of planet Jupiter, thus counter measuring its negative gravity towards earth. Displaying the Tai Sui Plaque at home is a way of paying deep respect to the deity and seeking blessings from Him. This is a common method of acknowledging the goodwill of Tai Sui as the Heavenly Divine One who is in charge of the year. The Tai Sui of the Year always bring virtue and good tidings, and promises divine help when needed. If you want to read more about the 2024 Tai Sui, you can read from here.

The other option would be to display the Pi Yao Riding on Phoenix (a symbol of thriving in period 9). The Pi Yao ensures you have the powerful backing of the Tai Sui (God of the Year).  On the other hand, the Phoenix is a celestial pairing for the Dragon Tai Sui. Together the powerful combo will subdue all the bad vibes caused by inadvertently offending the Tai Sui, for example if you cut a tree, dig a hole, hammer a nail or unavoidably disturb the Tai Sui corner.

For houses that are facing the SOUTHEAST in particular, you are considered as in confrontation mode with the Tai Sui. 

Anyone whose house is sitting NORTHWEST facing SOUTHEAST or sitting SOUTHEAST facing NORTHWEST will have to carry along the Grand Duke Charm because you are considered as either offending or confronting the Tai Sui, even if your zodiac sign is not affected.

For all houses, there should be no construction work done in this sector of the house, including repair work. If this sector is disturbed, those staying in the house will have a tough year ahead with a lot of arguments, legal problems, financial losses and sicknesses. If there is no choice but a serious need to work on this area, then avoid starting and ending in the SOUTHEAST

In Period 9, for twenty years the SOUTHEAST becomes the Shining Water Position and is known as CO-DIRECT SPIRIT of period 9. It is derived from the combination of Ho Tu pair 9-4. Since #4’s direction is in the southeast in the Luo Shu chart, this makes southeast the CO-DIRECT SPIRIT, which makes it an important direction for 20 years. After putting up the necessary annual cures in the sector, you should consider activating this tertiary power spot of Period 9 with Chief Treasury. The Chief Treasury captures wealth at the Co-direct Spirit sector, with its presence sowing the seeds for riches beyond wildest dreams to take root and manifest. It brings auspicious forces that generate abundance, increase in income stream, advancement in your job prospects, happiness and good fortune. Every time you desire to magnetize money, all you need to do is to move the three coins along its axle in this sector to call upon its help. 

South

The SOUTH is afflicted by the malicious Three Killings. The Three Killings refer to 3 Violent Robbers in the mountain. It is the combination of Age Killing (Sui Sha), Plundering Killing (Jie Sha) and Calamity Killing (Zai Sha). They move in unison and sends shivers to feng shui masters and practitioners. Sometimes they are translated as “3 Curses”. The Three Killings cover three specific noncontiguous 15-degree Mountains each year. This means they affect 3×15 degrees spread out across a wider arc:

  1. Sui Sha – Year Curse connected with Tai Sui, Counter-Jupiter.
  2. Jie Sha – Robbery Curse associated with robbery and financial betrayer. 
  3. Zai Sha – Calamity Curse indicating natural calamities such as flood and fire. 

These three are all regarded as being malefic due to an excess of yin in each of these departments of life. San He School masters consider this affliction to be the worst among the three afflictions, namely the 5-Yellow, the Tai Sui and the Three Killings. The Three Killings were a San He (Three Combinations) School concept that was subsequently absorbed by the San Yuan Flying Star School in the late Ming Dynasty. Therefore one should never take it lightly. The Three Killings bring robbery, lawsuits, legal problems, quarrels, enemies, potential injuries and death. Entangling into lawsuit problems, meeting up with accidents and involvement in sex scandals are almost unavoidable if the sector is not properly remedied.

On the feng shui front, careful attention has to be paid in applying a proper and authentic remedy. With knowledge, remedying the Three Killings is not difficult.  A powerful remedy would be displaying the 3 Tortoise Shells 3 Chilins in the SOUTH. The sector is particularly bad if it coincides with your front door or back door, because the constant traffic will stir up its malefic tendencies.

An additionally problematic year lies ahead if any one of the following scenarios applies to you. You may consider to carry along the Unassailable Amulet for additional protection:

  1. Your entrance or back door is facing the direction of SOUTH.
  2. Your entrance or back door is located in the sector of SOUTH.
  3. Your bedroom is located in the sector of SOUTH.
  4. Your Zodiac Palace is located in the SOUTH, SOUTHWEST, NORTHWEST and NORTH, eg. HORSE, SNAKE, SHEEP and RAT.

Besides, the SOUTH is also being violently afflicted by the Broken Army Violent Star #7. As we enter Period 9 in 2024, this notorious star had turned very aggressive, additionally causing a decrease in family size if not remedied. This is basically a star of loss associated with loss of many kinds, but particularly to do with violence, betrayal and accidents. It is also called “Po Jun” star in Chinese. It can cause havoc, financial losses and endless mental breakdown. It will create fights and make people get furious for no practical reason. Disputes will be created in aspects of relationship, career or finance. Your investments and bank savings will be subjected to heavy losses. If unattended it will also make you lose your loved ones, precious belongings or documents. Vile characters will triumph in their disputes over you. In aggressive cases, it causes bloodshed caused by metal objects such as guns, knives and swords. All in all, it brings disturbances, turbulence, lost of lives, violence, financial losses, fire, injuries by sharp objects, fightings in the family, armed burglary and theft. A strong remedy to safeguard against #7 Red is to display the Shigandang Plaque. After understanding that the malevolent energy from this star is fierce and cannot be underestimated anymore, we need a more substantial cure. If your maindoor or backdoor is located in the SOUTH sector of the house or facing the SOUTH, you may want to consider stepping up security. This also applies to those whose bedroom is in the SOUTH.

In Period 9, the SOUTH is the Direct Spirit or better known as the Chief Palace. It is a power spot that enables bounteous fortune and is very important to have its feng shui doubled up if you want a thriving Period 9. Joyous vibes in this sector to usher in Period 9’s energy are essential to lay a good foundation for Period 9. This is why it is so important to have the SOUTH’s energy renewed as we transition into Period 9, like engaging a lion dance performance in this sector. If for some reasons you are unable to, it is very important that you display the Joyous Vibes and Double Defence in this sector as a symbolic representation. Featured in blue, these Tzi Chi lions symbolize water element and wealth and makes them excellent to be introduced into every home to calm down an overly fiery period. Next, since they are also associated with military strength and hunting prowess, having them also denotes protection against the wicked #7 which becomes more vicious and a threat to security as the world enters into Period 9.

Center

According to the classics, the center means the “whole space”, which means the energy here freely spreads to all the other eight directions. Therefore, if the center palace has good energy, all the other eight directions will equally benefit, but when the center palace has bad energy, all the other eight directions will equally be afflicted as well. Unfortunately, the Quarrelsome Green Star #3 (also known as San Bi) flies to the CENTER bringing unwanted argument, violence, gossip and injuries. It brings disharmony and strain to marriages and office relationships. Court cases, litigation and quarrelsome energy will enter to destruct you .Worst case scenario, you may even need to face jail time. Because it causes you to lose concentration and make wrong decisions and things blown out of proportion where there is no going back, it can cause you financial losses. Also when a person is always angry, he or she cannot have good fortune or gain any prosperity. Injuries can also be resulted with lasting consequences. Many unreasonable quarrels and fights will flare up in the sector or for those who frequently use the sector leading to damages in relationship, be it professional or intimate. There will be many disharmonies and hostilities among friends, colleagues, employer-employee, lovers, family members and spouses. Families may suffer from breakup due to quarrels and fellow colleagues will be found in many arguments jeopardizing your career. This star can also lead you to scandals. As it is a wood star, metal can be used to cut it, or more subtle, fire can be used to deplete it. But you cannot use real fire because real fire is impermanent and is a risk. Best is to use a cure that embodies symbolic meanings of both metal and fie. The best cure to be displayed in the sector is the 100 Peace Plaque. If you have a bedroom here, you are unable to move and the star had been inadvertently activated, you can additionally display symbols of peace that will work well such as the Peace and Harmony Apple or Bee on Lotus.

What is more important, the Ruling Star #9 of Period 9 enters the center palace of the period chart for 20 years that ends in 2043. The changing of periods is considered as a very important milestone. Therefore, this Ruling Star will need to be activated with its base element fire for it to seamlessly get transitioned.  As we embark into a new period we ought to uplift and safeguard the energy of the new chapter and prevent a sudden drop in fortune. In order to align and accommodate the totally new energy, you must display the Period 9’s Tribute Horse in the center of your house.  This Period 9 welcoming horse will ensure a flawless transition into the Period of Fire. It protects you from sudden downturn in luck which can hit anyone who is unprepared for the big change of events from Period 8 to Period 9. This bright red Tribute horse which represents hidden fire can coincidentally control the annual #3 effectively as well. It is like hitting on two birds with one stone. 

Northwest

In 2024, the star of intellectual achievement Wen Chang Star #4 (also known as Si Lu) flies to the NORTHWEST. In Period 9, #4 has the good as well as the bad side. But it is quite stable and neutral. On the good side, this Star will bring good luck in networking, noblemen, literary pursuits, nobility, wealth, agility and even good romance that leads to marriage and everlasting love stories. However, on the bad side, it can bring literary conflicts, third party involvement in marriages and sex scandals. One must put on positive enhancers to ensure that only the good side is exposed. If you ignore it, then the bad side will become more pronounce.

For adults, one can achieve more rapidly and far better if you have powerful network, connection to important people and benefactors’ luck. It is this sector that you need to activate if you are looking for new ways to forge ahead and upward mobility. #4 can actually be activated to bring about such type of luck to ensure faster success, including finding a better job, blessed with better opportunities and inheriting important assets. Creative breakthrough will propel one to a new height. It is also a “travelling star”, therefore those who desire to travel abroad more or migrate to other places to work can depend on this star. There is nothing more effective than displaying a zestful Everything is Achievable to activate #4 in the NORTHWEST. It is a fail-safe sign of success to boost the luck of young people as well as the patriarch. 

In Period 9 where its counterpart the Phoenix becomes the lord of the 20-year period, it is vital to invite a new Green Dragon to work in tandem to eliminate misfortunes and presents solutions to complex challenges that arise. A Dragon year always present as an opportunity to invite a new Dragon figurine into the house for practitioners because the Dragon energy is in great need of boosting and placing the figurine in the sector of #4 is just perfect.

For those who are in school, it also benefits those who are seeking for intellectual achievement, good progress in studies, heighten their education interest and do well in examinations in 2024. It will help one excel in school, improve concentration and quality of thoughts. In today’s environment, knowledge is equivalent to success. All kinds of work involves some sort of knowledge, literature, skills and information. And to excel in your work, you ought to have literary luck to always stay at the forefront of competition.

On top of all that, the same Dragon figurine placed in the NORTHWEST can also nullify the effects of Sui Po, spanning from NORTHWEST 1 ranging from 292.6 to 307.5 degrees. The Sui Po (referred to as Broken Year) should not be taken lightly. Also known as the “wrath of the Tai Sui“, Sui Po can lead to serious jeopardies which are more severe in nature compared to the Tai Sui itself. Although Sui Po energy is not as severe as the Three Killings, it can bring similar bad luck including fatalities. It is always located at the direction directly opposite the Tai Sui direction. Offending the Sui Po will lead to unrest at home, unwanted demotion, career downfall, lawsuits, gossips and unfavorable changes in life.

The traditional use of Dragon in the Sui Po area will greatly help to counter Sui Po as an effective countermeasure for the Year Breaker. One can display this Dragon anywhere along NORTHWEST-CENTER-SOUTHEAST axis and have it facing the NORTHWEST. One has to abstain from renovating or doing ground breaking in this sector for the whole year as these activities can inadvertently trigger its effects. Anyone whose house is sitting SOUTHEAST facing NORTHWEST or sitting NORTHWEST facing SOUTHEAST will have to additionally carry along the 2024 Tai Sui Talisman because you are considered as either offending or confronting the Tai Sui, even if your zodiac sign is not affected.

Note: All moving water features such as aquarium and water fountains should be temporarily removed for one whole year.

Northeast

All is positive in the NORTHEAST with the arrival of the Heaven Star #6 (also known as Wu Qu Nobility White Star). It means the right person will turn up at the right time when you need them. It is also a star of authority. Unexpected windfall is indicated if this part of the house is activated. This is also the star that blesses one with the luck of mobility, for those seeking to work overseas or migrate overseas. This star will also help you recover quickly in your investments. Business seeking to recover should activate this star to tap for a big change and a huge gain. The wonderful heaven energies here if activated can foster wealth, good fortune, excellent career, good financial support, prosperity and popularity luck. One will also obtain benefactors (noblemen) who aid you in solving difficulties, particularly in business and sales. So, don’t ever take this sector lightly due to its strong potential. For the past decade, it has been reported to us almost every year that our clients won lotteries, obtained unexpected inheritances or earned big money from investments after activating this star. To activate heaven’s luck effectively, the best way is to display Period 9’s Magic Ho Tu in this sector. 

As we enter into Period 9, all houses of other periods will suffer a dip in energy generally. On the other hand, new houses built in Period 9 will also not see flying star charts that can provide perfect feng shui that is beneficial to both wealth and health. All period 9 charts show limitations in one way or another. This classical flying star cure Ho Tu Chilin that incorporates a symbol of the new period’s Phoenix will align your home with the attributes of Period 9, thus countering the downturn or imperfection in energy. This is therefore a recommended must have for everyone to transition into Period 9 seamlessly and without any reversal of good fortune.

North

The NORTH is visited by the Wealth Star #8 White (also known as Ba Bai Star). #8 is intrinsically a general Prosperity Star in all periods. Although its power was “amplified” in Period 8 and will go back to its original form in Period 9, it is still a benevolent star that gives positive effects in generating wealth. It benefits both mainstream and speculative incomes. You will gain fame luck, financial magnification, good career and all types of good fortunes from this star. This star can also shine brightly to bring you to greater heights in career and business. As #8 becomes slightly harder to activate now, the most authentic way to activate this star is to display the Period 9’s Inexhaustible Money Shower in the NORTH. This astonishing wall hanging features FOUR main emblems that harness the fullest prosperity potential for Period 9, namely the “Jade Emperor”, the “Money Tree”, the “Red Dragon” and the Lock Coin of “10 Million Taels of Gold”. The Jade Emperor blesses you with divine help from the heaven. The Money Tree promises limitless financial blessings. The Red Dragon being a fire dragon activates the positive attibutes of Period 9. The Lock Coin builds savings in a big manner. 

When Period 9 begins, one should retire all money frogs you had from the previous period. They have expired and you should start all over by replacing with new ones or introducing them in Period 9 to capture new wealth. This being the reason why we have redesigned a new version for Period 9 known as Chief Treasury in a zestful gesture and holding a string of coins, and having 7 Northern Stars in the correct pattern behind its back. You can consider getting 3, 6 or 9 of them, and having at least one of them in the #8 sector and spreading others in other important wealth sectors. 

Coincidentally, the NORTH is also the INDIRECT SPIRIT of Period 9, which makes it an important direction for 20 years. The Indirect Spirit is the opposite direction of the Direct Spirit and is a secondary power spot of Period 9. The Chief Treasury captures wealth at the Indirect Spirit sector, with its presence sowing the seeds for riches beyond wildest dreams to take root and manifest. It brings auspicious forces that generate abundance, increase in income stream, advancement in your job prospects, happiness and good fortune. Every time you desire to magnetize money, all you need to do is to move the three coins along its axle in this sector to call upon its help.

During times when salary prospects of the mainstream income is not bright, you ought to start looking for multiple sources of income as back-up or as means to increase your wealth. More sources of income will multiply your success rate faster, being the reason why true businessmen diversify and put their eggs in more baskets. This sector is going to be the sector for everyone who wants to see good public relations, success, achievement and breakthrough in their career, promotion and long term flourish in their income. It will determine the present and future of your career if you activate it correctly. Money and income is important to ensure we enjoy significant amounts of luxury in the forthcoming years. New growth and beating the competition are important. Activating this star is the key to unlocking the luck from it. To activate, the best enhancer to be displayed in this sector will be the Period 9 Authority Star. Those seeking for an event worth celebrating such as winning an award, winning a million dollars, getting a scholarship, enjoying a promotion, getting a child or becoming famous, will have your dreams realized by this star. Activating #1 will also be beneficial for kids sitting for important examinations, those who are commencing a business or young graduates starting off a new job.

In Period 9, #1 plays a pivotal role in governing long term wealth, opportunities and intuition. Trailing just behind #9, it is one of the most powerful future stars in-charge of power, influence and authority wielded by individuals in different spheres of society. A person’s success in Period 9 is attributed to steadfast adherence to the energy associated to the star. The Dragon Tortoise, a chimeric creature with the body of a tortoise and the head of a dragon, is known as the celestial guardian of the north, water element and symbolizes a connection to the supernatural realm, being a lord to the #1 White Star. Water is equivalent to wealth in feng shui. Because it has power over water, it is considered as being able to draw wealth. While the Phoenix makes you thrive in Period 9, the Dragon Tortoise is the authority star that ensures “unending” success throughout the period.  Since the sector where Annual #1 flies to is also an important wealth corner, you should place another Chief Treasury in this sector too.
