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

Each year, the winds of Feng Shui shift, bringing new energies to every corner of your home. The Flying Star Chart, a highly accurate guide, reveals the time-sensitive dimensions of these energy changes, helping you understand the forces at play. By decoding this chart and taking proactive measures, you can skillfully navigate potential misfortunes, illnesses, and obstacles while enhancing opportunities for success and well-being. Proactive remedies involve the strategic placement of cures and enhancers to create energy vortexes that neutralize negative influences and amplify positive vibrations, ensuring harmony and prosperity throughout the year.


The Foundation of Feng Shui: Dividing Space with Precision

In both Luan Tou Feng Shui (Landscape Feng Shui) and Time Dimension Feng Shui, the fundamental principle is to divide a given space into nine equal chambers, known as palaces. Each chamber corresponds to one of the eight compass directions—North, South, East, West, Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, and Southwest—with the ninth chamber at the center. This simple yet powerful chart is then superimposed onto the space being studied, whether it’s as vast as the world or as intimate as a living room. Larger spaces, such as a country or city, are referred to as “Big Tai Chi”, while smaller spaces, like a home or a room, are termed “Small Tai Chi”. This method allows Feng Shui practitioners to analyze and harmonize energies within any environment, creating balance and prosperity at every scale.


Incorporating the Time Dimension: Unlocking Predictive Feng Shui

To deepen your Feng Shui practice, integrating the time dimension into the study of the nine palaces is essential. As time progresses, the chi (energy) within each palace shifts, influencing the fortune and dynamics of that space. These energy cycles change over various intervals—every 180 years, 20 years, year, month, day, hour, and even quarter-hour—creating a fascinating system for predicting events.

By aligning the time dimension with the nine palaces of a space, such as a house, it becomes possible to foresee pivotal life events. For instance, you can predict the year a homeowner may experience extramarital temptations, enjoy significant financial gains, or face health challenges. This method isn’t limited to large-scale life changes; it can also offer insights into daily occurrences, making it a powerful tool for planning and decision-making. You’ll be amazed by how accurately these predictions align with real-life events, offering both guidance and a deeper understanding of the energies shaping your world.


Finding Balance in Feng Shui: Focus on What Matters Most

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?

    While it’s challenging to influence the luck affecting large-scale entities like the world, a country, or a city, you can still take control of your personal destiny. For instance, the global outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 was tied to the movement of the Burglary Star #7, which took center stage in the Flying Star chart and symbolically “robbed” the world. While such events are unavoidable on a macro scale, individuals can shield themselves from widespread misfortune by focusing on their immediate surroundings.

    Your home sweet home serves as your personal container, shaping the flow of energy (chi) that directly impacts your life. Regardless of external influences, you hold the power to transform your personal luck by updating and optimizing the Feng Shui of your home. By aligning your space with favorable energies, you can create a sanctuary that not only protects you from larger disruptions but also cultivates prosperity, harmony, and well-being.


    When will the annual luck cycle change every year?

    The Dynamic Nature of Feng Shui: Adapting to Annual Energy Shifts

    The flow of energy in the nine palaces follows the Chinese solar calendar, with energy shifts occurring annually around the 3rd or 4th of February. This highlights the dynamic nature of Feng Shui—it is never static. Each year, beneficial and harmful stars migrate to different sectors and directions within our homes, premises, and even across geographical regions. These shifting energies should never be overlooked. By identifying the good and bad locations within your home, you can strategically enhance areas with positive energy and neutralize those with negative influences. This proactive approach enables you to maximize opportunities for success, prosperity, and well-being while minimizing the risks of misfortune, ensuring you make the most of the year ahead.


    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 #7and 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 applying countermeasures to mitigate negative influences and enhancers to amplify positive energies form a cornerstone of traditional Feng Shui practice. For a dedicated Feng Shui practitioner, these tools are indispensable when working with the energy dynamics of a building. Even in structures with optimal geomantic alignments within the nine palaces, the shifting influences of yearly and monthly cycles often necessitate adjustments. Countermeasures help diminish destructive energies, while enhancers bolster the effects of auspicious ones, ensuring balance and harmony over time.

    A key distinction between the yin and yang schools of Feng Shui lies in the use of lucky motifs and symbols, particularly in yang Feng Shui—the practice tailored for living spaces. These symbols activate “yang” energy, fostering vitality and prosperity. Conversely, yin Feng Shui, designed for graveyards, emphasizes minimal use of symbols to maintain its solemn nature. Applying yin Feng Shui principles to living spaces is a significant misstep, as it fails to activate the vibrant energy essential for a thriving environment.

    Countermeasures are specifically designed to neutralize harmful energies by avoiding, dissolving, weakening, or removing their effects. Enhancers, on the other hand, work in the opposite direction, amplifying the influence of benevolent stars by strengthening the associated energy. Proper placement of these tools allows practitioners to create a dynamic balance, effectively transforming challenges into opportunities for growth and success.

    Feng Shui purists emphasize the proactive use of “intervention” to address the harmful effects of malevolent stars, as these negative influences demand immediate attention. This intervention involves neutralizing the disruptive energies of these stars by applying the principles of the Five Elements—wood, fire, earth, metal, and water—which govern the cycles of nourishment, weakening, and destruction.

    By strategically placing objects or artifacts infused with specific elemental energies, practitioners can effectively diminish or even neutralize the adverse effects associated with these malevolent forces. These artifacts act as carriers of elemental power, carefully chosen to counterbalance the destructive influence of the star’s element. When applied with precision, this approach not only mitigates harm but also restores harmony and balance to the affected spaces, underscoring the dynamic interplay of science and art in Feng Shui.

    Staunch traditionalists in Feng Shui take a holistic approach when prescribing countermeasures and enhancers, considering the interplay of three critical factors:

    1. Esoteric and Symbolic Remedies: These include the use of religious, imagistic, symbolic, iconic, or magical elements to invoke protective or beneficial energies. These tools often draw on deep cultural and spiritual traditions, adding a mystical layer to the practice.

    2. Form and Alignment: Attention is given to the physical environment, with strategies to absorb, block, or deflect harmful energies, known as sha chi. This approach focuses on the spatial arrangement and flow of energy within and around the space to create a harmonious balance.

    3. Elemental Interactions: Rooted in the Five Elements theory, this method involves strategically using the nourishing, weakening, or destructive cycles of elements to either neutralize negative forces or amplify positive influences. By understanding the dynamic relationships between elements, practitioners can create customized solutions to address specific energy imbalances.


    By integrating these three factors, traditionalists ensure a comprehensive and effective approach to harmonizing spaces, balancing practical, symbolic, and energetic considerations.

    Effective Feng Shui remedies must incorporate all three key factors—symbolism, form and alignment, and elemental interactions—to be truly impactful. These comprehensive solutions, known as “yang cures,” are designed to counteract an excess of yin energy—the energy of darkness, stillness, and silence—by activating vibrancy and movement.

    When selecting remedies, it’s advisable to choose those closely aligned with traditional practices. While Feng Shui allows for interpretation, caution is essential to avoid relying solely on intuition or inventing unproven remedies. For instance, while color can serve as a useful supplement to placed remedies, it is rarely effective on its own. A red rug, for example, has no real impact on mitigating the effects of the #3 Green Star.

    Similarly, incorrect use of materials can diminish the efficacy of a remedy. For example, placing metal trophies to counter the harmful effects of the #5 Yellow Staror #2 Black Star is ineffective. Traditional remedies like metal windchimes are preferred because their movement, activated by passing breezes, enhances the flow of chi, amplifying their effect. It is the dynamic interaction of energy—through sound and motion—that makes these remedies powerful. Understanding the principles behind these choices ensures that remedies are applied effectively and harmoniously.

    Some pseudo-practitioners advocate for the principle of “avoidance,” believing that minimizing movement in a particular area can reduce the destructive effects of malevolent stars. While this approach may appear practical, it is far from effective and, in many cases, can be dangerously inadequate.

    True Feng Shui purists reject such passive strategies, favoring proactive interventions to address harmful energies directly. Simply avoiding an area amounts to inaction—it is not a remedy but rather a reactive response that leaves the problem unresolved. Effective Feng Shui demands active engagement, using well-established methods to neutralize malevolent stars and restore harmony. Only through thoughtful intervention can the full potential of Feng Shui be realized.

    The annual Feng Shui chart can be overlaid onto the floor plan of a home, office, or even individual rooms to gain insight into how the energy patterns shift with the arrival of a new year. This powerful technique helps identify areas influenced by auspicious or inauspicious stars, enabling you to take strategic action. By applying this knowledge, you can effectively install the appropriate enhancers to activate lucky stars and cures to suppress the effects of unlucky ones, ensuring a harmonious and prosperous environment throughout the year.


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

    For the Lunar Year of the Snake in 2025, the locations of afflictions and auspicious energies have been carefully pre-calculated and are illustrated within the nine palaces of the Flying Star map below. This new chart takes effect from February 3, 2025, marking the beginning of the solar calendar’s spring season, also known as “Lap Chun” in Chinese.

    It is important to note that the Flying Star system aligns with the solar calendar, which consistently starts with the arrival of spring, rather than the variable commencement date of the Chinese Lunar New Year. This precise system allows for a more accurate understanding and application of Feng Shui principles to optimize your environment for success, health, and prosperity in the coming year.

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

    The snake, often seen as a more understated and enigmatic creature compared to the majestic dragon, carries a dual symbolism. Its venomous nature serves as a reminder of caution, betrayal, and fear, fostering a sense of mistrust and reduced confidence among people throughout the year. While the dragon is celebrated as a symbol of power and prosperity in Chinese culture, the snake holds its own unique significance, and its year does not necessarily herald negativity.

    Unlike the dragon’s bold and dramatic energy, the snake moves subtly and with quiet precision. Changes in a Snake Year tend to unfold gradually rather than abruptly, creating a more stable and predictable environment. This makes it a less volatile year for investors and business ventures, presenting opportunities for those who value calculated risk and careful planning. By exercising vigilance and embracing thoughtful strategies, one can navigate the year with success and uncover its hidden blessings.

      Usher in Period 9 Symbols for an Annual Feng Shui Refresh

      The Year of the Snake in 2025 marks a pivotal moment in Feng Shui practice, as it is the second year of Period 9 under the Flying Stars system. This transition officially began on February 4, 2024, and will define the next 20 years, concluding in 2043. During this period, all homes and spaces will continue to experience a profound energetic shift as the cosmic influence of Period 8 diminishes. The characteristics of Period 9 bring entirely new vibrations, necessitating updates to Feng Shui practices, cures, and enhancers to fully align with the fresh energies of this transformative chapter.

      The shift from Period 8 to Period 9 is more than just symbolic; it represents a complete recalibration of cosmic energies. Feng Shui objects that were powerful in the past period will lose their potency, making it essential to refresh your spaces with items that resonate with the new cycle. Feng Shui masters emphasize the importance of changing both cures and enhancers during this milestone to ensure the energy in your home or workspace stays vibrant and supportive. For 2025, our recommendations focus on incorporating Period 9-compliant remedies and enhancers, helping you optimize your annual Feng Shui update and embrace the new energy with confidence.

      When transitioning between periods, Feng Shui practice revolves around three key actions: REMOVE, REPLACE, and MOVE. Here’s how to approach them:

      1. REMOVE
        Dispose of outdated or weakened items used to mitigate afflictive energies in Period 8. Even if these cures appear well-preserved, they no longer serve their purpose. Examples include five-element pagodas, wind chimes, baguas, saltwater Anren cures, six coins, and other objects designed to subdue harmful stars. It’s crucial to let go of these items, even if you don’t plan to replace them immediately.

      2. REPLACE
        Introduce new cures and enhancers to either supplement or completely substitute outdated items. This step is essential to restoring and amplifying positive energy in your space. Traditional Feng Shui practitioners stress the importance of “freshness” in Feng Shui objects, as new items inherently hold a stronger and more effective energy. Even if a particular object benefited you during Period 8, it’s advisable to replace it with a new version to align with Period 9 energies.

      3. MOVE
        Relocate older Feng Shui objects that are still in good condition to less prominent areas, such as patios, secondary rooms, or less critical spaces. This also applies to objects that no longer align with the current star placements but retain sentimental value or aesthetic appeal. Enhancers like wealth pots, celestial animal figurines, and other luck-boosting items can often remain if they are less than two years old and in good shape. However, their placement may need adjustment to reflect the new Flying Star chart.


      Embracing these steps during the transition to Period 9 ensures your space is harmonized with the latest cosmic energies, setting the stage for greater fortune, prosperity, and balance in the years to come.

      Changes in the Power of Star Numbers in Period 9

      Feng Shui operates on cyclical principles, with the significance of Flying Stars evolving over time. As we transition into Period 9, the energies of the stars shift, bringing new meanings and implications. While traditionally, stars like #1, #6, and #8 are regarded as auspicious, and stars like #5, #2, and #3 are seen as challenging, these interpretations can vary when time factors are considered. In certain ruling periods, even inauspicious stars may gain positive attributes. Below is an interpretation of the power and characteristics of each star in Period 9, offering insights not commonly found elsewhere:

      • #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 2025 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. A sickly chart unfortunately, the ILLNESS STAR #2 enters the center palace and rules the chart in 2025. Also known as #2 Black Star, it brings upon a BLACK YEAR causing sickness and injury easily. Those who are more vulnerable to potential sicknesses should be more careful especially. 

        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, southeast, south, southwest and west are good in 2025.

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


        2025 Annual Flying Stars Chart


        NORTHEAST

        The deadliest affliction, known as the Fatal Star #5 Yellow (Lien Chen Star), moves into this sector of all houses and premises. #5 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 Protective Chung Kwei in the northeast to subdue #5. A vigilant guardian, he stands ready to repel evil spirits, ghosts, and malevolent energies, shielding your household from harm. Feng shui masters particularly revere this statue as the ultimate remedy against the notorious malevolent energy #5, powerful afflictions known to cause misfortune and loss. 

         

        Other cautionary remarks:

        • When #5 hits the NORTHEAST, all people who are born in the year of TIGER and OX will be affected by the #5 Yellow in 2025. According to LATER HEAVEN BAGUA, the NORTHEAST also represents the youngest son of the family. And the best amulet to protect them will be the Zenith Guard 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 Protective Chung Kwei placed in the NORTHEAST sector, you will have to additionally hang the Sun Moon Wulou Windchime 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 Zenith Guard 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 Sun Moon Wulou Windchime 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 Protective Chung Kwei placed in your bedroom, the occupant/s of the particular bed room will need to also carry along the Zenith Guard 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 Protective Chung Kwei in the NORTHEAST, you will have to additionally display the Six Emperor Coins 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 NORTHEAST 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 February (#5), May (#2),  July (#9) and November (#5) in 2025.


        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 NORTHEAST.
        2. Your entrance is located in the sector of NORTHEAST.
        3. Your bedroom is located in the sector of NORTHEAST.
        4. Your kitchen is located in the sector of NORTHEAST. 
        5. Your Zodiac Palace is located in the NORTHEAST, eg. OX and TIGER. 


        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.
         

        CENTER

        The Illness Black Star #2, also known as Ju Men, brings chilling energy to its sector this year, posing a serious threat to health and well-being. In Feng Shui, health is considered a top priority, as it forms the foundation for good fortune and wealth accumulation. The center palace of your space, representing the “whole environment,” is particularly significant because its energy influences all eight surrounding directions. When negative energy occupies the center, its harmful effects permeate every corner of your home or workplace.

        This year, the illness energy associated with Star #2 is exceptionally potent, potentially leading to severe health complications, including long-term illnesses and even fatality. Individuals with bedrooms or kitchens in this area should be especially cautious, as the energy may cause abdominal and gastrointestinal issues. However, even if these key rooms are not in the affected sector, the energy’s reach can still impact everyone in the household.

        In addition to health problems, this star can trigger wealth loss, injuries, gossip, legal disputes, relationship challenges, insomnia, and depression. It is essential to take preventive measures and subdue its effects promptly. After paying careful attention to also incorporate Period 9’s energy influences, the most authentic cure to subdue #2 this year is the 100 Wulou Medicinal Tortoise. The traditional use of Medicinal Tortoise and DUI Trigram are fortified in this manner to ensure this cure can adequately pulverize Illness Star #2. This powerful cure prevents harmful nagas (believed to be the main cause of all illnesses and epidemics) from stealing away one’s life force and causing diseases. It is a strong diminisher against monthly ill winds, all forms of deadly viruses and serious illnesses. Besides improving ones immune system and removing “yin parasites” (as a result of the act of evil spirits), it brings about good health and protects the body from any harm. Those who prefer the windchime can consider to display the 2025 newly released Sun Moon Wulou Windchime. 

        To avoid intensifying the negative energy of Star #2, refrain from any construction or renovation work in its sector. Activating or disturbing this area could heighten its adverse effects, making it even more critical to address this star with appropriate remedies and care.

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

        • When #2 hits the CENTER, all chinese horoscope signs will be affected by the #2 in 2025. The best amulet to protect you will be the Divine Doctor Amulet.
        • 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 100 Wulou Medicinal Tortoise placed in your bedroom, one can hang the 2 Wulous 6 Emperor Coins by your bed optionally or at the door knob. 
        •  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 2 Wulous 6 Emperor Coins parked near or under the hob. 
        • Last but not least, you also need to check the monthly arrival dates of the #2, #5 or #9 into the CENTER 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 February (#2), April (#9), August (#5) and November (#2) in 2025.


        A sickness year lies ahead of everyone in 2025, but if any one of the following scenarios applies to you, the effects are amplified:

        1. Your bedroom is located in the sector of CENTER.
        2. Your kitchen is located in the sector of CENTER.  


        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.

         

         


        EAST

        The EAST 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.
