I started writing this page in April 2019, and it already seems like it was just the other day that I was writing the annual updates for Chinese New Year 2019; it really is scary how fast the years go by. Here i am in the middle of November 2019 and coming to the end of the year of the Pig, and I hope it has been a rewarding one for you with lots of enjoyment and success.

The 2020 Flying star analysis is a long read and can be a bit overwhelming to go through although it is well worth the read to give yourself the best possible start to the year of the Rat which changes on the 4th of February 2020 in every home and building all around the world.

If your bedroom, office or other important room falls into an area that is afflicted with a negative star this year and you are not able to move out of this room, please do not panic as there is always something you can do to make the most of your situation.

In 2020, the south is a particularly troublesome sector as we have the annual #2 star located here along with the Three Killings and Sui Po in the same sector which can cause a lot of issues related to health, wealth, career and relationships. Those who have the main door or important room such as a bedroom, kitchen or living room will need to take great care when treating this in the year of the Rat to avoid the problems that come with this affliction. This may sound daunting to read if you have a main door in the south but please remember, knowing about a potential problem and having the relevant cures in place should avoid any problems materialising in the year of the Rat.

At the Feng Shui Store, we sell a large range of powerful and traditional cures and enhancers for your home or office to help you make the most of the year; we also appreciate that not everyone likes to work with these cures which is why we will always offer a free or cheap solution that you can implement with items that you already have in your homes such as different furniture or coloured pillows. Using colours and shapes to enhance and weaken the Flying stars will not be as effective when they are not placed alongside Feng Shui cures, although, we have always believed that Feng Shui should be accessible to everyone so that they can make the most out of their circumstances with ease. By reading the advice below, you can make 2020 a very successful year for you, your family, and friends so please be sure to check back throughout the year.

I would also strongly recommend taking a look at the Chinese animal predictions for 2020 article that I have written by clicking the link below as this will give a highly detailed outlook into how the year of the Rat will be for each of the twelve Chinese animals, giving you the best chance to take advantage of the year ahead and make it a successful one for you.

2020 Chinese animal predictions

From all of us at the Feng Shui store, we would like to wish you a happy, healthy, and prosperous year of the Yang Metal Rat (Geng Zi).

What date do the Flying stars change in 2020?

Chinese New Year 2020 dateOn the 4th of February 2020, the Flying stars will change all around the world in every single home, office, business and building which will bring an enormous change to the energy when we have the annual #7 robbery star enter the centre of every building. The #7 star can bring a lot of problems this year when sat in the centre as the influence can permeate through the other eight compass sectors, and we will need some powerful Feng Shui cures to avoid burglary, deception, copyright theft, gossip and back stabbing issues in the year of the Rat.

Every year, I make predictions for the year ahead, and we forecast 2019 with 100% accuracy and based on our predictions for last year and the feedback from our clients, the majority were able to enjoy a productive and rewarding year of the Pig in 2019.

2020 begins the year as a new decade and also a new astral cycle of the twelve animals, and this  will be a year of great change and unrest especially with movements all over the world and potential up rises in the East and Middle East although the changes it can bring should be a good thing and the youth will be starting to show the power of unity and this can and should create a worldwide unity of hundreds of thousands if not millions of people coming together as a force to change. I think this will be a good thing in the end although there could be many ups and downs.

We will see again more natural disasters taking place around the world during the year of the Rat related to weather changes in 2020. Unfortunately, the annual influence can bring some problems that are out of our control although we do have the power to avoid problems in our own home and business with the help of the annual flying stars by following the Feng Shui advice on these pages.

Please read this advice and act on it as this year you will need your annual Feng Shui annual cures and enhancers more than ever and preparing now will enable you to prepare for the year ahead, prevent problems and ensure a successful 2020. We’ve been making these predictions for over 20 years with overwhelming precision.

Over the last few years, we have recommended that you are cautious with money and investments, and in 2020, this will, unfortunately, be the same.

To ensure you activate and protect wealth and opportunities and overall good luck, you must activate the northwest, northeast, southeast, southwest and west of your home or office; I will speak about how to do this below.

Remember, there is so much we can do to ensure the best year possible; we alert you to the possible upcoming misfortunes for the year and provide solutions with where and how to place your cures and enhancers.

For example, those born in the year of the Horse may be affected by the conflicting influences of the year of the Yang Metal Rat Geng Zi.

I must admit I am not a fan of predicting doom and gloom as I am a firm believer in the power of the mind and being told something bad is going to happen can manifest itself without much effort, so now let’s look at the positive aspects of 2020.

I am sure you have read other Feng Shui websites and read their synopsis for 2020, you will find that most are  predicting a very bad year and while part of this is true, I am personally really excited about 2020 as there will be a lot of good to come out of it with the energies present this year and we also have many new and exciting annual Feng Shui cures and enhancers to place this year.

We have carried out thousands of Feng Shui consultations from every corner of the world since we first opened the Feng Shui Store back in 1999 and I have found that every single home is different with its positive and negative attributes; no two buildings will ever be the same and will always be prone to change so if you feel worried that you have a negative star in an important room this year, just remember that nothing is stagnant in Feng Shui and luck is constantly moving around to help you make the most of your circumstances and improve the quality of Qi in your home or office.

As an example, let’s take a look at a home that has a bedroom in the south and an office in the east and how the annual stars could have an impact on their lives in 2020 if not treated correctly. The problems with this configuration could be related to finances, bad luck, difficult relationships, joint issues and also sadness, especially with the middle daughter or eldest son.

However, by placing the annual cures and enhancers, you can eliminate or reduce these problems. If you are or were a smoker, and already have breathing and chest problems, then the cures and enhancers could certainly reduce exacerbating chest health problems. If you’re a smoker and wish to give up, then 2020 is the ideal time. Remember, the flying stars will dictate the problems, but there’s much you can do to lessen or eliminate the problem by following Feng Shui advice annually and monthly.

Feng Shui horse predictions for 2020Those born in the year of the Horse could be affected by the conflicting influences of the year of the Rat as the Horse is the conflict animal of the Rat. Those born in the year of the Horse should be aware of potential difficulties they may encounter during the year and take extra care in whatever they do without taking unnecessary risks in all aspects of their life.

If you follow the advice here, you can avoid many problems; please do not worry. It should be noted that there are five different types of each Chinese Animal (fire, water, wood, earth, metal) which depends on the year you were born and each different animal will have different predictions for the year ahead.

For example
Metal Horse: 1930, 1990
Water Horse: 1942, 2002
Wood Horse: 1954, 2014
Fire Horse: 1966
Earth Horse: 1918, 1978

With regards to the arrangement of the Xuan Kong Flying Stars in 2020, we will have the #8 white, prosperous star fly in to the northwest on the 4th of February 2020; the #8 star is the governing wealth star for period 8 (2004 – 2024) and can create a lovely influence when activated correctly as this will help resonate the auspicious energy throughout the rest of the building. In 2020 the #8 star is in conflict the NW Trigram Chien which is a strong metal star, and this will weaken the #8 earth star and the most powerful cure, and enhancer you can place in the northwest of your home, office or shop is the Lian Cai Zhong Master Cure along with the Pan Long Dragon as these two cures work in synergy with each other to help create bountiful wealth luck and new opportunities in 2020.

All of the cures and enhancers I have mentioned are from our 2020 Cures and enhancers kits although we do recommend alternatives for every area of your home as we like to offer as much advice as possible.

2020 Feng Shui cures and enhancers

I mentioned the #2 black and #5 yellow star very briefly above and will go into a little more detail about them now as these are important stars to treat as they can bring lots of problems if left alone without cures and enhancers.

Where is the #2 star located in my home and office in 2020?

JuanKuan Wealth offering plate

As of the 4th of February 2020, the #2 annual star can be found in the south of every home, office, and building around the world and when activated can bring illness to anyone in the building. The south can be very dangerous in 2020 as we also have the Three Killings and Sui Po in the south which can cause a lot of problems if activated by the wrong elements or noise this year.

The traditional way to cure the #2 star and stop it from becoming activated is to place a row of six metal I-Ching coins in a row in the south from the 4th of February 2020 until the 3rd of February 2021; when choosing your coins, please make sure you get them from a reputable store as they must be from a good dynasty if they are to weaken the negative influence of the south this year. It is also important to place a salt water cure in the south of your home or office to weaken the influence of this sector and also avoid the annual #2 star from being activated.

A crucial cure and enhancer for the south is to place a JuanKuan Wealth offering plate to ensure finances are protected and also enhanced during the year of the Rat. When activating a JuanKuan plate, you should place coins of your local currency and any jewellery on the plate to invite new wealth and turn a bad star into something that can bring a positive influence into your home or office.

Where is the #5 star located in my home and office in 2020?

Salt water cure for 2020As of the 4th of February 2020, the annual #5 yellow can be found in the east of your home and office. The annual #5 star is extremely unstable and will need to be treated with care as activating the star with the wrong elements or noise can bring tragedy, sickness, lawsuits and major loss of wealth. The #5 star has no gender and no trigram and is highly treacherous when disturbed, so please read the advice for the east below.

I would avoid making loud noises and ground-breaking in the east this year as this will likely activate the malicious effects of the annual #5 star.

What is likely to activate the annual #5 star in 2020?

  • Digging holes
  • Laying foundations
  • Refitting a bathroom or kitchen
  • Playing the drums
  • Having a children’s playroom in the east
  • Having a generator running in the east
  • Using power tools for several days
  • Playing loud music repetitively
  • Having too many earth colours in the east (brown, terracotta, beige or yellow)

Regardless of if you are likely to do any of the activities above in the east this year, prevention is always the best cure in Feng Shui and it is important to place a set of 6 coins in a row along with a salt water cure in the east to weaken the malevolent effects of the annual #5 star. It is also important to place a six rod hollow metal wind chime in the east along with other good quality metal cures.

Where are the worst flying stars in 2020 and where are they located?

Bad Flying Stars

I have listed the worst flying stars, including their locations. Please do not take these stars lightly as they can wreak havoc when activated and can bring all manner of troubles so please read below in the full Feng Shui analysis on how to treat these areas to avoid problems.

  • 2 star – This can be found in the south in 2020
  • 3 star – This can be found in the north in 2020
  • 5 star – This can be found in the east in 2020
  • 7 star – This can be found in the centre in 2020

A Flying star chart has a fairly balanced mix of good and bad flying stars with five auspicious stars and four inauspicious stars, and in period 8, the inauspicious stars are the 2, 3, 5, and 7 stars. In 2020, we must treat these stars with the relevant Annual Cures and Enhancers for the year as when disturbed or left untreated, they can cause all sorts of problems related to wealth, stress, illness, disputes, legal issues, death and much more so please make sure that you read through carefully on how to avoid issues during the year of the Rat. The worst palaces that are going to require care are the south, east, centre and north.

In 2020, the negative flying stars are fairly scattered around the different sectors of the home, which could make treatment of these areas easy or hard to control, depending on the layout of your home.

For my own home, the negative stars will fall into the following areas –
2 star – kitchen and home office
3 star – dining room and spare bedroom
5 star – stairway
7 star – dining room and hallway

I can tell straight away that I will need to treat the kitchen, home office and dining room very carefully this year as these are areas where I will be spending a lot of time which can cause the negative stars to become activated. I will be introducing some heavy metals into my kitchen and under my stairs for the #2 and #5 stars and will be checking over my colour scheme and making changes along with introducing the relevant cures from the 2020 Cures kit for the year.

2020 Feng Shui cures and enhancers

It is not easy for the majority of us to abandon rooms with negative annual stars which is why we have included the appropriate annual cures and enhancers below for the Flying Stars of 2020 within the individual palaces making the areas manageable and usable.

If the auspicious stars fall into a spare room, bathroom or other less frequently used room, this is good as there will be less human interaction to activate the stars.

If the south, north, east or centre fall in to an important room in your home or office such as a bedroom, living room, study or office this year, it is important that you do not panic as you will soon discover that by the end of reading this article, you are loaded with an arsenal of cures and advice that will help you to avoid these problems.

The best thing you can do when preparing for the year of the Rat is to make sure that you prepare early. We receive thousands of phone calls and emails during the week before Chinese New Year asking if we can ship the cures and enhancers kit over to Australia in 3 days and sadly, this is not possible; we get inundated with orders during the final 2 weeks before Chinese New Year so please be sure to plan early to ensure your 2020 Cures and Enhancers are in place on the 4th of February 2020 to give yourself the best start to the year.

Another way to prepare yourself for the year of the Rat is our annual 2020 Feng Shui guide e-book. This downloadable book is an extremely valuable tool and has been written by myself for the year of the Yang Metal Rat. This e-book contains over 400 pages to help you make the year of the Rat as prosperous as it can be.

What cures should I place in my home or business during the year of the Rat?

2020 Deluxe Cures and Enhancers kitEver since we first opened the Feng Shui Store 21 years ago, we have put a range of the most powerful cures and enhancers together for the year ahead for our Feng Shui annual cures and enhancers kits and in 2020, we have spent a great deal of time selecting and sourcing the most powerful and effective cures and enhancers to be used during the year of the Yang Metal Rat. These cures and enhancers can be placed any time during the year of the Rat although to benefit fully; I would recommend having your cures and enhancers kit ready to place on the 4th February 2020.

Most of the cures and enhancers that can be found in the 2020 kits are very tightly held secrets in the world of Feng Shui and although you will find many companies trying to copy them from us, please beware that a lot of sellers will usually skip the engraving process and will use any crystals they can find; the cures and enhancers that we use for the annual kits are planned out to every single component of each cure and can be very dangerous if they are not a complete cure.

Wherever you choose to get your 2020 Cures and Enhancers, please make sure that you get them from a reputable, established company. Sadly, the more popular that Feng Shui becomes, the more diluted the authenticity becomes with pop up companies trying to make quick cash without having any real knowledge in the history and application of Feng Shui; try Googling “Feng Shui shower curtain”…

Unlike the shower curtain I mentioned above, the 2020 cures and enhancers kit are not gimmicky cures that we put together for the year; every single cure and enhancer is carefully selected by us and the majority of the time, we have each cure created or remade especially for us using better quality metals and materials to ensure what we offer to you is the best quality it can be. We are lucky enough to be in a position to order large quantities of cures and enhancers, which allows us to make changes to ensure they are all 100% accurate.

The most influential and imperative cure and enhancer that you can place in your home or business in 2020 is the LianCaiZhong Nian Master Cure and can only be used in Yang Metal Rat (Geng Zi) years which comes around every 60 years. This cure is needed to enhance and protect in 2020. More on this later.

If you have suffered from illness, arguments, legal problems, bankruptcy, loss of wealth, health issues, relationship problems, accident, sore throat, skin problems, problems involving metal or just overall bad luck and you want to enhance your life and positive areas in 2020, read on.

Are you prepared for the energies in your home and business in 2020, year of the Yang Metal Rat?

Chinese New Year 2020 year of the RatEvery single person has the risk of being affected by financial issues during 2020 and will need to make sure they take care when handling paperwork as they could make large mistakes this year, costing a lot of money. The best preventative treatment you can take is to place a LianCaiZhong Nian Master Cure in the northwest of your home and office to ensure wealth is protected in the year of the Rat. I would also recommend placing a Caiyuangungun Sheng Chi Cure in the southeast of your home or office.

Please do not think that 2020 is going to be a disastrous year; I hate to bring up the negative points to the year, but when you know the potential risks, you can take steps to make sure they do not materialise. If you follow the advice in this article, you can avoid potential problems that can take place in Yang Metal Rat years, and this is why we first introduced our Annual Cures and Enhancers kits 21 years ago to help make the most of the good aspects of the year and keep the risks from materialising.

There will be many Feng Shui consultants predicting a disastrous year in 2020 and stating that every home and office will be burgled and lose all of their wealth; whilst this has some slight truth to it, I am actually very excited for 2020 as I know I will be taking the right steps to make sure that my home and business is protected in the year of the Rat.

I’ve got the 2020 cures and enhancers ready; surely this is going to make me exempt from any problems?

If you have your bedroom and living room in the south, north, east or centre in 2020 and smoke 20 cigarettes a day and eat a lot of junk food, the annual cures and enhancers will not be able to promise perfect health in 2020 although it will help you avoid a lot of potential problems and give you a significantly better chance in the year of the Rat.

Don’t get me wrong, I love a takeaway as much as any other person but I will also make sure that I take care this year as my staircase is in the east which can cause health problems this year so I will be making sure I am not too noisy on the stairs and will try to get a bit of extra exercise this year.

One thing I can almost guarantee is that you will face some manner of problems in the year of the Rat and I am sure that I will too at some point. Feng Shui will not give you a completely perfect life although it will make it as good as it can be when you practice good Feng Shui. Think of it this way, if Feng Shui gave you a completely perfect, trouble free life, there would not be any Feng Shui masters as they would all be living in their version of paradise.

Feng Shui is the practise of enhancing the good aspects of your life and suppressing the bad aspects to create an enjoyable life and avoid problems that could potentially come your way without the help of Feng Shui. Placing just the Feng Shui cures and enhancers on their own will help immensely, but you should also make lifestyle changes too. Finances are going to require care again this year and if you think that you can place the cures on a Monday and then go and purchase a brand-new Range Rover on Tuesday, you are likely mistaken; Feng Shui cures work to protect, dissipate and enhance areas of your life.

What can I do to prepare for Chinese New Year 2020?

Chinese animal predictionsEvery year, I write about how you can plan for the Chinese New Year and 2020, year of the Rat, I would start by reading through the 2020 Annual Flying Stars and then take a look at the 2020 Chinese Animal Predictions. After reading through these two documents, I would recommend taking a look at our 2020 Tong Shu Almanac and Chinese Animal Book or maybe consider our Feng Shui report which gives you completely personalised details.

For the past twenty one years, we have given this Feng Shui advice for free to hundreds of thousands of Feng Shui masters, practitioners, students and general enthusiasts all around the world to help them make the most of their home and business and ensure that their year ahead is as trouble free and prosperous as it can be. While we will make a lot of different suggestions on cures and enhancers to be placed in each sector for each year, we do not always agree with the approach some websites take when they state that you will not be able to enjoy a good year if you do not purchase the cures and enhancers that they have on their website and that you must place 20 different cures in each sector, usually charging a considerable amount more than they should; although some of this has some truth to it, you do not need to cover your whole home or office in cures and enhancers in order to activate or weaken the annual stars.

Our ethos is always to provide different alternatives that can be found around your home if you do not want to place the cures or cannot afford them as we believe that good Feng Shui should be available to the masses. While just using colours and shapes alone will not be as effective as placing the relevant Feng Shui cures and enhancers for 2020, they will still be a lot better than leaving home or office to chance as it is.

Two products that I would strongly recommend for the year of the Rat are the 2020 Annual cures and enhancers kit along with our Feng Shui software as this will provide you with the necessary tools to make 2020 a successful year.

What should I do if I have last year’s Cures and Enhancers kit?

Over the years, I have seen hundreds of websites stating that at the end of every Chinese year, you need to throw away or bury your cures and enhancers before placing the new ones, and while there is some truth to this, the majority of your cures and enhancers can be cleansed and reused again and again until they become faded or broken.

Some items cannot be reused and will need to be replaced every Chinese New Year such as the salt water cure, Chinese I-Ching coins and Ba Gua mirror as these cures accumulate a lot of negative energy throughout the year and are safer to replace than reuse. To find out which of your Cures and Enhancers need to be replaced, I would search them in the store and read the advice as we state what can be reused and what should be renewed. To find out how to cleanse your cures, take a look at THIS LINK.

I will replace the majority of my Cures and Enhancers at the end of the year apart from certain cures such as my brass Wu Lou and my Three Immortal statues that I bought in Bangkok many years ago as they are way too beautiful and have too much emotional value for me to replace them. The reason I replace my cures annually is that I have access to a warehouse full of everything that we have for sale on the website and it is much easier for me to replace the cures when I need to.

Certain Feng Shui Cures and Enhancers could last you a lifetime although there are some Cures and Enhancers that must be replaced every Chinese New Year. Last year, we had someone contact us asking for advice for placement for a box of Cures that had been passed down to them from a relative, and it turned out that they actually came from our shop and we always advise to pass Cures down to future generations as long as they have been cleansed.

To cleanse your Feng Shui cures and enhancers, follow the instructions below.

  • Make a note of the cure’s placement on paper, so you know where it goes back
  • Clean the cures with water carefully
  • Sprinkle with rock salt. You can also use normal salt
  • Place outside and leave overnight under moonlight (you can also do this under the sun for 4 hours)
  • Rinse cures and dry them off
  • Place cures in their appropriate compass sector

When we receive our Cures and Enhancers from our supplier and also when we ship our orders out, all of our Cures and Enhancers are cleansed of negative energy and empowered with positive Sheng Ch’i.

If you still have our cures and enhancers kit from twenty-one years ago, you can still use the majority of cures although please make sure you are not reusing the relevant Master Cure and Sheng Chi cure as these are tailored to each specific Chinese year and run in sixty-year cycles.

If you have any cures and enhancers that have become damaged and are chipped on the main part of the cure such as a chip on a Buddha’s head, I would wrap the cure in tissue paper and respectfully dispose of the cure in a bin outside the home, carefully placing it in.

Please never throw your Wu Lou or wealth ingot away as these are specially made for us and are the correct weight and size and I think they are a work of art and extremely powerful; I tend to get some metal polish every few years and go over my Wu Lou’s and wealth ingots with a toothbrush to bring them back to their original shine before I cleanse them.

I cannot afford to purchase these cures or enhancers this year, and my partner does not believe in Feng Shui, what should I do?

When I meet some new and they ask me what I do for a living, some people will imagine my home has large waving cats and enormous 8 foot Fu dog’s outside my front door and Chinese scrolls in every room and while I do have a small waving cat that my niece loves to watch, my home is not how most people imagine.

I will always have my cures and enhancers on display although most people would expect a home to look like a Chinese restaurant when they imagine a home that has been set up with Feng Shui in mind. Over my years as a Feng Shui consultant, I have visited many Chinese Restaurants, and you would be amazed how much rearranging needs to be done as they will usually have as much red in the shop front to give the traditional Chinese theme.

Feng Shui is not about having your house covered in Cures and enhancers; it is about using carefully selected cures in the right position to make sure they are as effective as they can be. You can also avoid problems and enhance your property by using colours, objects and the five elements – metal, water, wood, fire, earth.

Another misconception with Feng Shui is that it is a religion; Feng Shui is a way of life that helps you make the most of the different aspects to your life, similar with how the Danish will practise Hygge.

If you would rather not place a Wu Lou beside your bed or hang Six Chinese I-Ching coins in a row in the south or east on display in your home in 2020, you can always place them behind a picture frame or ornament so that visitors will not see them; this will make the cures a little less effective if they are inside a cupboard although they will help a lot more than if you did not have them at all.

Metal Feng Shui elementFor the east and south in 2020, I would introduce some good quality heavy metal ornaments in your home and business. Please make sure the metal that you introduce is smooth and round such as a gym weight, dog bowl or frying pan and be sure to avoid sharp edges such as knives or nails.

Another extremely powerful cure for the south and east in 2020 is to place a salt water cure in these areas to absorb negative energy. If you do not wish to use these, you can place a bowl of ultra-clean, still water but please be sure to make sure that the water is changed at least once a week and never let it stagnate as this will reflect around the whole home. The salt water cure is a much safer option to use and will be a lot more effective, although if you are looking for a discreet cure, I would try the still water. I do not always like to recommend using a bowl because they can get dirty especially if you live in a hot country and can cause many problems, so please be careful with this if you do not use the salt cure.

For the northwest and southeast, I would introduce some real quartz crystal in these two areas from the 4th of February 2020 as we have the annual #6 and #8 stars here and will need some good earth elements to enhance these two auspicious stars. If you are using objects around your home to place in these areas, try to keep them square in shape as this will feed the earth element and enhance wealth and overall luck in 2020.

The most powerful and influential cure and enhancer for 2020 is the LianCaiZhong Nian Master Cure  this cure can only to be used in a Yang Metal Rat (Geng Zi) year. The last time that this powerful cure and enhancer would have been used was in 1960 although only a privileged few got to use it due to Feng Shui cures being less accessible back then.

The LianCaiZhong Nian master cure is used to protect and enhance wealth and good luck in 2020 and as this falls in to the northwest, it will affect the eldest male and all males in general in the home or office and will be needed especially for wealth in 2020. The Master cure is also very important for females this year. If you want overall protection for the whole of your home or office, I would recommend taking a look at our 2020 Cures and Enhancers kit.

Whenever we write the annual advice, we do not do this to try and sell you something; if you look at all of the information below, you will see that we usually offer more advice for free alternatives to each compass sector than we recommend products. Every year, we receive thousands of emails and phone calls from people all around the world asking what cures they should buy from us and although this is terrible business practice on our part, the first thing we advise is to make sure their home or office is free of clutter and to take a look through this article and implement the free recommendations.

So, what exactly is flying star (Xuan Kong) Feng Shui?

2020 Feng Shui flying star chart

Flying star (Xuan Kong) Feng Shui is the most powerful form of Feng Shui that is used by most professional Practitioners, and although you may think so, it has absolutely nothing to do with astrology. Flying Star Feng Shui is an analysis of the five elements, land formations and star combinations that occupy your building and is not just limited to the home; over the years, I have consulted on farms, restaurants, universities, complete high-rise buildings, storage units, movie sets and much more. Every Chinese New Year sees the annual stars change in every sector of your building and with this, it brings good and bad energy to different sectors of the property.

Unless an auspicious star is activated in the home or office with the appropriate colours, objects and cures and enhancers, it is of no benefit to you, so please be sure to follow our advice carefully. Flying Star Feng Shui Is extremely powerful and can explain a lot about what is going on in a home; every time I visit a client for a consultation, or they call up to make an appointment, I make sure that they do not tell me anything about what is going on in their life as the Flying Star Chart can tell me all about their situation.

HOW TO FIND THE 2020 COMPASS SECTORS WITHIN YOUR HOME OR OFFICE

How to take a compass readingWhen working out the different compass sectors of your home, the first thing you will need is a floor plan; the best option is to contact your estate agent or architect for the original plan although you can get phone Apps these days to calculate and map out the plan of your home or office. If you have our Feng Shui Software, you can do your floor plan within the software which makes it very easy. Once you have your floor plan, you will need to split the home into nine equal sectors similar to a tic tac toe grid.

You will need a good quality compass to find your compass direction. If you do not know how to take a compass facing direction, please visit this page.

Once you’ve taken the compass readings of your building, you will have a good idea of the different compass sectors of your home or office and will be able to overlay the Lo Shu for 2020 according to the eight magnetic directions and centre to plan how to make the most of your life for the year ahead. If you already know the fixed flying stars, you can check how the annual stars will affect the fixed stars.

If you look at the floor plan below, you will see that the the 5 star falls into the east area for this home which falls into the master bedroom and for most of us, this will likely fall into a bedroom, kitchen, study or living room and could cause problems if you do not place any cures and enhancers. I know this will sound like a hard sell, but our Feng Shui software does do everything for you, ensuring that no mistakes are made.

floor plans 20192020 Flying star chart

This chart below was created with our Academy of Feng Shui software using the Floor planner section.

  • The top left number is called the mountain star and affects the health and well-being of the occupants in the home.
  • The top right number is called the facing star, which affects wealth.
  • The middle number is called the period number and comes from the year the home was built.
  • The bottom right number is the 2020 Annual flying star.

If you take a look at the chart below, you can see where the different annual Flying stars are located along with the mountain and facing fixed stars and was created using our Academy of Feng Shui software which has become the industry standard with enthusiasts and masters alike.

The Flying star chart in the home below has a very special formation which is known as a “Combination of ten with sitting” and requires careful analysis; the Academy software explains in great detail how to make the most of this combination and also any other special combination or formation in the Flying star chart.

Whenever I take a call from a client requesting a consultation, the first thing I say is that I do not want to know any personal details as the Flying Stars, along with the land formations of the home tell me everything I need to know about health, wealth, career and every other aspect of their life.

The chart below is for a house facing 250 degrees west 1 (Geng) built in 1980 

Example of Flying star chart for 2020

A house is made of bricks and beams. A home is made of hopes and dreams.”

Avoiding bad luck in 2020

Looking at the chart above, you will see that we have the #2 black star enter the south of the lo shu in 2020 and this is combined with the three killings and Sui Po, and we are going to need special cures and enhancers in the south to weaken the malevolent influence of this star.

At the very least, I would hang a set of six Chinese coins tied with red ribbon and also place a salt water cure in the south and east to control and weaken the annual #2 and #5 stars.

For full details on 2020 flying star analysis follow this link. This is very important in 2020 especially if you have the main door, bedroom, office, lounge or other important room in the south, east or north.

This is just a small part of what you can do to ensure 2020 will be a good year and to enhance it further I would suggest checking out the monthly almanac, flying stars and animal predictions as it not only recommends good and bad days to carry out specific tasks, it will also advise if it is suitable for your animal sign.

If you would like to be informed in advance of the monthly, annual and fixed flying stars giving you the ultimate control of your home or business, you should consider our 2020 advanced Feng Shui software; it is used by thousands of Feng Shui Masters, Practitioners and students throughout the world. Combining this with our new incredible and extremely powerful Tong Shu Almanac date selection software this will make 2020 a better year indeed.

The Three Killings – south (142.5 – 217.5)

You must avoid making any form of deafening renovations or re-decorative work in the south part of your home or office between 4th February 2020 and 3rd February 2021. You should not disturb the ground by digging holes (small holes for plants is fine), build foundations or conduct any maintenance work with any loud equipment in the areas inside or outside your property or garden.

If you have no option but to perform work in the south in 2020, I would strongly recommend that you place a six hollow rod metal wind chime along with six Chinese I-Ching coins and a salt water cure in the south during 2020. We take this very seriously at the Feng Shui Store as we’ve seen some pretty nasty events over the past 39 years when this energy has been disturbed.

There are also another two other rules that you should follow regarding the Three Killings. Firstly, if you are moving your desk around this year, never sit with your back towards the south, it is better to face south instead.

If you have a door in the south in 2020, please take a lot of care when opening and closing the door to make sure it is not slammed. Avoid the influence of the Three Killings by opening and shutting the door calmly or install a soft close hinge.

Urgent repairs to your home or office in the south during 2020 will need a cure to prevent any negative consequences. You can place a six-rod hollow metal rod wind chime between the building and where the work is being carried out or ideally, contact a professional Feng Shui Consultant to select an auspicious date to start the work. Our Tong Shui software will also easily calculate the perfect time for you.

Tai Sui (aka The Grand Duke of Jupiter) – north (352.5º – 7.5º)

Lu Mi Tai Sui plaque for 2020Like the Three Killings, Tai Sui does not like to be disturbed either. The effects of Tai Sui can be good or bad depending on the annual flying stars that coincide with its location.

If your property or front door faces north in 2020, much like the Three Killings, you must try to avoid doors from slamming when entering or leaving your home or workplace. You should avoid digging or renovating your property in this area at all costs. If you have an office or shop door in the north this year, I would recommend installing a soft close attachment. The traditional Chinese method to appease Tai Sui is to place a Lu Mi Tai Sui plaque to pay respect and appease the Deity and also weaken the annual #3 star.

By paying respect to Grand Duke of Jupiter, we can weaken or avoid the problems this can bring.

Sui Po (Year Breaker) – south (172.5º – 187.5º)

Sui Po is the year breaker, and it occupies the division directly opposite Tai Sui Grand Duke, which for 2020 is the south combined with the three killings and the #2 calamity star. You should treat this area the same as the other annual afflictions with no ground-breaking work, renovations or any loud activities. If disturbed, this area can and usually will cause immediate health problems, especially with regards to the elderly, so please be very careful with the south of your home or office this year.

Traditionally to appease this very nasty energy you must place a set of six Chinese coins tied with red ribbon and a salt water cure which we have included in all of our 2020 Cures and Enhancers Kits.

The annual five yellow star – east (68.5 – 112.5)

6 Rod hollow metal wind chimeThe annual five yellow has flown to the east in 2020, and this is not good and the reason why so many specialist cures are needed. It is highly recommended not to disturb the east of your home or business with noisy activities, renovations or maintenance work this year.

When disturbed, the Five Yellow can bring disaster, sickness, lawsuit and significant loss of wealth, so please be very careful in the east as it is very afflicted. In 2020 you must place a set of six Chinese i-ching coins tied with red ribbon, a six-rod hollow metal wind chime and a salt water cure in the east to avoid the problems that are associated the #5 yellow disaster star.

Water placement in 2020:

As we entered period 8 (4th February 2004), the use of water outside is critical up until 2024, a pond/water feature positioned outside in the correct area can really work in your favour although you should not site a pond/water feature unless advised by professional Feng Shui consultant, you can, however, safely place water outside in the southwest up until 2024.

Outside water placement in 2020:

Feng Shui water placement in 2020

During the year of the Rat, outside water can be placed in the southwest or east (only if you have been advised by a Feng Shui master as the annual #5 resides in the east in 2020) as these are your primary wealth areas for the next four years while we are in period 8. In 2020, outside water is best placed in the northwest but please note that you should only use outside water if you know the natal chart of your home and have a good understanding of the land formations of your home.

If you aren’t sure of the layout of your natal chart or do not know how to create one, take a look at our Feng Shui software as it does all the work for you.

Indoor water placement for 2020:

If you have to use indoor water in 2020, the best area is in the northwest as this will help to activate the auspicious #8 star for the year of the Rat. Regardless though, it is better to seek professional advice before placing any water feature inside or out as in Feng Shui it is the catalyst to good and bad so please take care and consult or use our software.

If you decide that you want to use water inside your home, please make sure that the water is kept clean and fresh at all times and make sure that the water is constantly flowing as stagnant water will cause the Qi to become trapped in the home and bring negative energy into the home or office. Using water in Feng Shui is a very powerful tool and is a vital part of Feng Shui (Shui meaning water). The Qi around the home or office is caught by the water and is then cleansed and distributed around the building provided the water is clean and flowing. If you look at our resource pages, you will find more detailed information on water placement for 2020 and beyond.

Whilst the use of water is considered safe in the right conditions, there are many exceptions to the placement of water, and as Master Practitioners and teachers we use many more methods of water placement for wealth, education and relationship, these methods whilst extremely powerful can only be used with expert guidance and a full analysis of your property and land formations, please visit this link for more details of a consultation or home/business visit.

Salt water cure after just 4 weeks.

Salt water cure

We get thousands of emails each year from people with all different levels of knowledge in Feng Shui telling us how helpful the salt water cure has been for their home and business and how they have helped change the energy for the better; receiving these emails always make my day, finding out how Feng Shui has helped others.

The Salt Water Cure is an extremely powerful and little-known cure and one that we have used in our home, warehouse and office for over twenty-one years. We replace the Salt Water Cures once a year at the least and sometimes they need to be replaced within a few months as they remove so much negative energy from the surrounding area.

You should place a Salt Water Cure in the east and south of your home and office from the 4th February 2020 to weaken and control the annual #2 and #5. Please do not try to reuse the coins from last year’s cure or coins from other cures as they should be replaced when setting up a new cure.

When we are working with the flying stars, there will be many different circumstances to how the stars will effect each building; for example, If you have an annual #5 in your open plan living room during 2020, the energy from the #5 yellow’s presence can flow in to another area of the home or office so it is always best to treat the negative areas rather than take an out of sight, out of mind approach; having the annual #5 in a broom cupboard or lesser used room is very good as the chances of activating this star are a lot less likely although it is still vital to treat. Try to think of the annual stars such as the #5 as a perfume; if you sprayed some perfume in your bedroom, you would probably be able to smell it downstairs as the smell drifts around the building. If possible, it is always preferable to avoid rooms with negative stars although I would still recommend placing the necessary Cures and Enhancers for 2020.

I need to get rid of my old salt water cure; what should I do?

When replacing your salt water cure, I would recommend replacing it at the end of the year at the very least, or if the salt cure grows too large, I would replace it when the salt formation spills over the sides. I will usually replace my salt water cure in my own home when the salt starts to form around 5mm over the top of the glass as this is usually a sign that the cure needs replacing and has absorbed enough negative Qi.

Once you replace your salt water cure, you should leave it in place and do not touch it except for topping up with water until you need to replace your cure as disturbing it could unsettle the negative qi that the cure has absorbed. When you come to remove your Salt Water Cure, you should carefully place the whole thing (salt, water, glass and coins) in to a Tupperware type container or water tight plastic bag inside a cardboard box and dispose of it in a recycling bin straight away. If you do not have a Tupperware tub to dispose of the salt water cure, you can carefully pour the water down an outside drain although I do not like to recommend this and this is more of a last option scenario.

We have had people say to us that they have still got the same salt water cure from 5 years ago which is extremely dangerous and not worth the risk. Please replace your salt water cure every Chinese New Year at the very least. We try to keep our salt water cures as cheap as possible so that they are available to the majority and all of the coins we use come from a good dynasty, making them even more effective.

Annual Flying Star analysis for 2020, year of the Yang Metal Rat (Geng Zi)

When reading the annual analysis for the 2020 Flying stars, please bear in mind that the advice we give can only be taken from a general point of view as to how the stars will affect the different compass sectors. When implementing the cures and enhancers for your home, please go around the different areas and consider items and colours you are already using as these could affect the stars for the year. It is also wise to consider the combination of the ‘facing’ and ‘sitting’ stars of the property’s natal chart and we cannot account for this in the report below.

Please take your time when reading through the analysis below for the annual flying stars for 2020. When you first read the advice below, it may seem as though this year will bring lots of problems although you will soon realise that there are many ways to control the negative influences and enhance the positive ones, making the most out of the year of the Rat. If you would like to know more about what the year of the Rat has in store for you on a more personal level, I would consider looking at the 2020 Feng Shui Guide Or our Feng Shui online report.

In 2020, we have the #8 annual star fly into the northwest of every home, office, and building around the world and this star can bring tremendous wealth luck when activated correctly this year. The #8 star is the primary annual wealth star for the next four years while we are in period eight and will need to be activated with special cures and enhancers this year. To promote new wealth entering your home or business, I would place a lottery ticket in the northwest this year to enhance your chances of a win.

The lottery ticket in the image below has been created and personalised to an individual’s unique lottery numbers with our Feng Shui software and taken from their birth date and just by placing it in the northwest or southeast can increase your chances of a win tremendously. If you own the software, you increase your chances even more as it calculates even more advanced formulas to tapping into wealth and good luck.

Kan 1 White In 2020, Kan trigram is in the northeast 

Flying Stars 2020 1 Star Kan

Kan #1 is a water element. In the physical body, it is the ear. Internal organ it is the kidneys, and it is also blood. It also affects career and luck.

In the year of the Rat, as of the 4th of February 2020, the annual #1 water star Kan (Tan Lang) has flown into the northeast of every home, office, and building around the world. The inherent energy of the northeast is water which will be draining energy from the visiting annual star, and we will need to introduce some powerful cures to maximise the visiting energy in this area in 2020.

The northeast is especially important for the youngest male of the household and all males in general, although it is still extremely important for females. To activate the northeast and enhance wealth, relationship, and career luck, we will need to introduce metal along with two very powerful cures – a FuXi Dual Dragon bell and a  to make sure the northeast is as rewarding as it can be this year.

The main cure that you should place in the northeast is the FuXi Dual Dragon bell as this is a very powerful and traditional cure and enhancer to enhance and protect the annual #1 future wealth star. When placed in your home or office, the Dual Dragon bell can generate new opportunities for the occupants and create results in financial investments, academic achievements and also enhance romance and relationships. As with every year, we include these as standard in our 2020 Cures and Enhancers kits as they are a vital cure for enhancing the #1 annual star.

Metal Feng Shui elementDuring the year of the Yang Metal Rat, we have the annual #1 water star fly into the northeast which has an inherent earth energy from the #8 star which will destroy the good energy of the annual star which is why we need a good quality metal cure to both enhance the annual star and lessen the drain caused by the inherent energy of the northeast.

If you have any poison arrows such as a busy road or power lines in the northeast of your home or office, I would suggest placing a Ba Gua mirror outside of the building pointing towards the poison arrow; if you are unsure which mirror to use, a Ba Gua wealth protection mirror is the safest bet to use in the northeast during 2020.

Qian Cai Chan Chu Three-legged Toad and wealth potAnother extremely powerful and vital cure to enhance wealth, relationships and career in the northeast is to place a Qian Cai Chan Chu Three-legged Toad and wealth pot. This beautiful hand painted toad god is a very commanding cure to enhance and protect wealth and business prospects in the year of the Rat. We have included the wealth toad as standard in our 2020 Deluxe cures and enhancers kits.

If you cannot afford the FuXi dual Dragon bell or Qian Cai Chan Chu toad goad, or if you simply do not wish to use traditional cures in your home or office this year, I would try to introduce some water colours in your home or office; you can do this by using bedding, pillows, lampshades, rugs etc. such as blacks, greys and blues. If you have a bedroom in the northeast this year and the bed falls into this sector, I would recommend placing a brass Wu Lou talisman here to protect and enhance wealth.

Red Objects 2019Please do not place any fire colours in the northeast in 2020 as this will drain the energy of the annual #1 star and could cause a loss of wealth. If you already have fire colours in the northeast and cannot remove them, I would make sure that you introduce some strong water colours along with metal cures to balance the energies.

If you are using furniture and ornaments in the northeast  I would try choosing objects with waves and ripples as this represents the water element and will work very well here this year.

Summary for the annual #1 star in the northeast in 2020:

The best months during 2020 are March, April, May, July, September, December, and January.

Take extra care in February, June, August, October, and November. I would check back on our free monthly Flying star advice to further analyse these months.

Enhancement summary and advice for the #1 visiting the northeast in 2020

  • If you have a bedroom in the northeast, I would place a brass Wu Lou next to your bed and also introduce a blue, black, grey or charcoal duvet cover, throw or pillows.
  • If you cannot afford to purchase a wu lou, you should place a heavy round object close to your bed; a quick, easy cure is to place a good quality frying pan under your bed for the year.
  • Place a FuXi Dual Dragon bell in the northeast to enhance and protect the #1 star
  • You should avoid burning candles in the northeast and please avoid any fire colours like red, pink, purple, orange or burgundy; blues, blacks, grey or charcoal are good colours to use.

  • Although they will not be as powerful, you can use round metal shapes as an alternative to using Feng Shui items, but please avoid sharp or menacing looking metal objects.

Kun 2 Black  In 2020, the Kun 2 Black (Ju Men) visits the south

Flying Stars 2020 2 Star Kun

The south is a very nasty area in 2020 as we have not only the annual #2 star fly in, we also have the Three Killings and Sui Po in the same compass sector which can bring financial and illness problems to all occupants of the home or office, especially middle daughter and females in general although this will still effect all males and will need some extremely powerful cures along with peace.

When we weaken the annual #2 star in the south we can greatly weaken the chances of disturbing this area and activating the malicious effects of Sui Po and the Three Killings, which can cause issues relating to wealth, disease, stress, illness, back stabbing and overall bad luck in 2020.

using metal with the 2020 Flying starsThe annual #2 star is one of the worst stars in period eight and when combined with the other annual afflictions, this area will need to be treated with some very powerful metal cures in 2020 if you are to avoid problems. It is important that the south is treated carefully during the year of the Rat and that the area is not activated with loud noise, banging or drilling. The south will need to be treated with the appropriate cures and enhancers if we are to avoid problems in this area.

If your home or office has a front door in the south in 2020, it is very important that you do not slam the door and if possible, I would suggest that you install a soft close hinge, as loud noises can activate the maleficent effects of the Three Killings and Sui Po. You must also aim to avoid any internal doors or windows being slammed in this area and avoid digging or renovating your property in this area at all costs. If you have no option but to undergo heavy work this year, please make sure that you follow the advice below and also have the relevant cures in place and try to do so when an auspicious monthly flying star flies in to the south, which would be in April, May, June, August, October, or January 2021.

JuanKuan Wealth offering plateOne of the most important cures that you can place in your home or office is to place a Juan Kuan offering plate (aka wealth vase) in the south of your home, office, or building. This cure and enhancer was specially made to exact measurements and engraved for us and is used to protect, cure and help create new wealth and good luck in 2020 for every occupant of a building. We have included the Juan Kuan offering plate in our Deluxe cures and enhancer kits for 2020.

The ideal area for the south to fall into in your home or office in 2020 would be in a bathroom, spare room or storage space as these rooms are used less than a bedroom or kitchen and would be less likely to activate from noise. If your front door, bedroom, office, lounge or other well-used room is located in the south, this will inevitably activate its malicious effects, so read on…

The #2 star will affect the health of those under its influence and can bring problems relating to wealth, illness, disease, stress, back stabbing and overall bad luck so please take this advice seriously and do not leave the south untreated and see what happens this year. This is especially so for people who are a Gua #1, 3, 4 or 9. Check on this page if you do not know your Gua number eightmansions.htm or if you have our Academy of Feng Shui software you can calculate your Gua and best directions.

Another powerful cure for the south in 2020 is to place a statue of Tsai Shen Yeh in a gold colour. The God of wealth statue is very good at weakening the bad earth and also protects wealth for 2020, making this a very powerful cure.

Please do not introduce any red colours in the south during the year of the Rat and at all costs, avoid using candles in this area as this will aggravate the malevolent effects of the annual #2 star. If you have any red colours in the south that cannot be removed this year, such as a red sofa, do not worry too much and be sure to introduce some strong metal colours and cures such as a silver or white throw over the sofa. Good metal colours to use in the south this year are white, silver, gold, bronze or copper.

Placing a Metal Wu Lou beside your bed is a good cure if you have no option but to sleep in the south of your home this year as this symbolises good health and dissipates the negative energy of the #2 star.

The best treatment for the south of your home or office during 2020 is to place a Juan Kuan offering plate, salt water cure and six Chinese coins tied with red ribbon. I would also recommend introducing some metal cures in the south as of the 4th of February 2020 such as a metal Wu Lou, singing bowl or other good quality metal objects although please make sure that they are smooth in shape and do not use any menacing or pointy objects as this will be counterproductive.

What areas should I keep quiet in 2020The best cure for the south in 2020 is an avoidance of the area altogether which is near impossible to do, but if you are fortunate enough to be able to avoid 1/9th of your home, I would still recommend placing the cures for 2020.

Now having given you all this bad news, I will now give some hope for those who are Gua 2, 6, 7 or 8 as while this combination, on the whole, is very bad, it can be good for them in wealth and career, you would still be wise to place the recommended cures as detailed here but the effects of the #2 black will not be bad for you and can even give you positive results.

Summary for the annual #2 star in the south in 2020:

Please be sure to keep the south of your home or office as quiet as possible during 2020. If you have no choice but to carry out noisy building work, please make sure you have the recommended cures in place and try to use manual tools to keep noise to a minimum. If you cannot avoid noisy activities in 2020, the better months to do so are during April, May, June, August, October, and January 2021.

Do not place any fire colours in the south in 2020 such as red, pink or purple. Keep doors closed when possible. Place a Wu Lou, salt water cure, gold Toad, wealth ingot and six coins here along with metal ornaments. Use colours white, silver, gold or copper.

Better months are April, May, June, August, October, and January 2021.

Take extra care in February, March, July, September, November and December.

Remedies and advice for the #2 visiting the south in 2020

  • Place a Juan Kuan offering plate in the south of your home or office
  • Place a salt water cure in the south during 2020
  • If you do not wish to use traditional Feng Shui cures, you can use any metal ornament as long as it is not sharp or aggressive looking. Although not as effective, believe it or not, a good cure is a round metal dog bowl or weight lifters weights.
  • Hang six Chinese coins tied in red ribbon.
  • A good quality brass wealth ingot is good for protecting wealth in the south this year.
  • A metal singing bowl is very good to place in your home or office.
  • Please keep this area as quiet as possible during 2020.
  • Place a gold coloured three-legged Toad with an i-ching coin underneath.
  • Place a Wu Lou and other metal ornaments to dissipate the negative earth.
  • Avoid using red colour in this room and refrain from displaying a triangle shape or fiery pictures.
  • Avoid candles or bright lights at all costs. Check or upgrade smoke alarms and other fire prevention methods.

Chen 3 Jade, the sound of Lu Chun #3 Jade can be heard in the north in 2020

Flying Stars 2020 3 Star Chen

From the 4th of February 2020, the annual #3 star will fly into every home, office, and building around the world and the inherent water energy of the north will be feeding the inauspicious wood star; we will need to treat the north carefully during the year of the Rat in order to avoid theft, a loss of wealth, arguments, disputes, legal issues and stress.

The north is especially afflicted in 2020 as we have Tai Sui fall into the area, making this a very risky area that will require treating along with peace.

Good desk locations for 2020 flying starsIf you have a bedroom or office in the north during 2020, it is especially important that you follow the advice below as human interaction can activate the #3 stars influence; this is very important for the middle son of the household and all males in general. Please do not panic if you will be spending a lot of time in the north throughout the year as this area can be treated with the relevant cures and enhancers for 2020 to avoid issues that the #3 star can bring.

If the north of your home or office has a front door please make sure that the door is never slammed as this will likely activate the malevolent effects of Tai Sui. I would also recommend taking care of internal doors and windows in the north this year and avoid excessive noise both inside and out.

It is also wise to avoid digging and renovation in the north of your home or office during the year of the Rat as this will anger Tai Sui and cause problems. If you cannot avoid carrying out repairs during 2020, please make sure you follow the advice below and try to carry out the work during February, May, June, July, September, or November as this is when we will have a visiting auspicious monthly star that will lessen the negative influence present in the north.

Lu Mi Tai Sui plaque for 2020The traditional method to appease Tai Sui is to place a Lu Mi Tai Sui plaque to pay respect and appease the deity. By paying respect to Tai sui, you can avoid the problems that are prevalent with this annual affliction. These are two key cures for the north in 2020 although please do not worry if you cannot afford these; there are a lot of other options you can implement to weaken the troubles that Tai sui can bring.

The worst thing you could do in the north from the 4th February 2020 to the 3rd February 2021 would be to take on any ground-breaking work such as replace window or door frames, knock through an internal wall, build an extension, lay a patio or other similar work. My general rule of thumb for small jobs such as hammering a nail to hang a picture or drill a hole is to minimise as much noise as you can; if you can use a manual hand drill, it is better to be safe than sorry.

To remedy the effects of the annual #3 star flying in to the north in 2020, I would recommend introducing red decorations and colours in to the north for the year. Some easy ways to introduce these colours are a red floor mat, cushions or sofa throw. You can also introduce candles, lamps and lights in to the north for the year to weaken the bad wood star.

You should not place any metal into the north in 2020 to control this energy as this will aggravate the annual #3 star; metal colours are ok to use but please do not use too much.

Water features should not be used in the north in 2020 unless you have a good understanding of the fixed flying stars of your property as this can bring arguments, wealth issues, divorce and legal problems in to your life; unless you take your land formations, period, mountain and water stars in to account, please be very careful.

You may have read in some books or on websites where they say that the #3 wood star can be a good one in period 8 (2004-2024) but in my opinion, it is an extremely unpredictable star, and you should not try to activate it unless you know what you are doing with regards to the flying stars or the Academy of Feng Shui software has advised you to do so.

Feng Shui risks and precautions for 2020Please be sure to read through all paperwork during 2020, and double check before signing anything as the annual #3 star can bring lawsuits, disagreements and general issues with others. Please remember to take care as a lack of attention could end in a loss of time, energy and resources.

If you have a main door in the north of your home or office during 2020, I would recommend using another door to enter and leave the house if you can; most of us won’t have this luxury, and if you have no choice but to use the door, please make sure you do not slam it shut. I would also recommend hanging a ba gua wealth protection mirror above your front door in the north for 2020 for added protection.

Remedies and advice for the #3 visiting the north in 2020

  • Place a light in the north of your home. If you have a choice, a lamp with a wooden stand and a peach/red shade is better. Try to leave it on whenever you are using the room.
  • Do not place wind chimes of any material in the north as this will make matters worse.
  • Take extra security measures for the whole home or business during 2020 and check smoke alarms regularly.
  • Place a Lu Mi Tai Sui plaque to pay respect and appease Tai Sui during 2020
  • Check through everything before signing documents, especially if your office is in the north.
  • Beware of backstabbing, as sometimes it is unseen and behind your back and also from someone you thought you knew quite well.
  • You should avoid having a water feature in the north unless you have a good understanding of your fixed flying stars.
  • Introduce some fire colours in to the north to weaken the #3 wood star.

Sun 4 Green In 2020, Sun 4 Green sits in the southwest of the Lo Shu square

Flying Stars 2020 4 Star Sun

The Sun 3 wood star flies into the southwest as of the 4th of February 2020 and can bring bring a lovely influence to your home or office when activated correctly. The #4 is a conditional star, and in period 8 (2004 – 2024), it is an auspicious star. The #4 star governs love, relationships, career, travel, creativity, academic, and self-development prospects, making this a very powerful area to enhance in 2020.

Although the #4 star is relationship star, please do not think that this cannot be useful in the workplace; when activated correctly, the southwest can bring fantastic career prospects and boost productivity in the work place.

Jiangongliye Wealth and wish enhancerTo enhance this beautiful influence, you should place a Jiangongliye Wealth and wish enhancer in the southwest of your home or office during 2020. The Jiangongliye Wish and romance enhancer is a very powerful Peach Blossom talisman and is a very effective manifestation enhancer for the southwest during 2020.

This cure and enhancer when used is also a manifestation enhancer; You can also place photos of you and your partner or even pictures of people you would like to bring into your life. Think of this area as a manifestation area and when you place your wish list, photos, romantic statue, photo of dream car, house, boyfriend, girlfriend or whatever you wish to bring into your life, think very positive thoughts and try and imagine those items in your life already, remember the power of the mind is just as powerful as Feng Shui. This cure and enhancer are so important in 2020 which is why we included it in all of our 2020 cures and enhancers kit.

One thing to be aware of with the southwest in 2020 is that although the #4 star is a very auspicious one if you were to leave this area untreated, this can bring unwanted romantic opportunities into your home or office and will affect all occupants. If you are looking to attract a partner in 2020, the safest and most effective way to do this is to place a Jiangongliye wealth and wish enhancer.

If you have a main door to your home or office in the southwest in 2020, this is very good and can bring new opportunities and lost chances of travel. A main door in the southwest will need to be kept clean throughout the year, and you should not have any shoes on display; a shoe box can be a very powerful cure in the southwest as it will allow fresh Qi to enter the building.

feng shui metal coloursPlease do not place any fire or metal elements or colours in the southwest during 2020 such as red, orange, purple, burgundy, lilac, pink, white, silver, gold, bronze or copper as these will destroy the auspicious influence that the annual #4 can bring to the southwest this year. If you already have fire or metal colours in the southwest and cannot remove them, please read below.

The best colours to introduce in the southwest are water colours such as black, charcoal, grey and shades of blue as this will enhance the energy of the annual #4 star. The easiest way to introduce these colours is by using throws, pillows, dishcloths, bed sheets etc.

When working with an annual star, every auspicious star also has an inauspicious aspect to its nature when the star is joined by an inauspicious monthly visiting star. The months that will affect the influence of the annual star are February, April, May, September, November and January 2021. These months can bring betrayal, heartbreak, scandals and humiliation so; please remember to check back for our monthly flying star analysis.

The southwest of your home or office should be treated as your creativity and relationship area during 2020 as this can greatly benefit all occupants of the home and office. If you have an office or bedroom in the southwest, please keep this area clean and clutter free as often as possible as a tidy area can greatly enhance the #4 star.

The #4 star has the power to increase the chances of producing intelligent children when conceived during the year of the Rat and to increase your chances, I would place a statue of a blue Kwan Yin in the southwest of your home or office, especially if you have a bed located here.

Eating peanuts on Chinese New YearAnother powerful cure that you can place to help you conceive a child during 2020 is a bunch of peanuts in shells (monkey nuts or groundnuts) or any seed products such as black or red melon seeds (Gua Zi). In Mandarin, peanuts are called ‘hua-sheng’, and for the Chinese, this word is onomatopoeic in that the sound of it means ‘the birth of many children’. When placing them, they can be placed anywhere in the bedroom, although I would keep them close to the bedside table. A good alternative if you do not want to display real nuts or if you have an allergy would be to a pair of mandarin ducks beside your bed.

Summary for the annual #4 star in the southwest in 2020:

With the Jiangongliye Wealth and wish enhancer in place and some good water colours in the southwest of your home or office this year, you should be able to enjoy great rewards and enhance your relationship with others throughout the year of the Rat.

In 2020, the southwest of your home or office is a great area for students, writers, artists or anyone with interest in travel, crystals or the health industry and they would be wise to make the most out of this auspicious influence.

When using colours in the southwest this year, please avoid using fire colours such as red, pink and purple and please try to avoid lighting candles in the southwest as this will weaken the good influence.

If you wish to enhance areas of creativity and academic achievements, place or hang moving objects to enhance the Ch’i of this sector, do not use wind chimes. Keep area semi active with windows occasionally open. You should try to avoid using metal items here, especially wind chimes from the 2020 cures and enhancers kit. You should try to spend time in the southwest this year if you want to enhance romance, creativity or academic pursuits.

recommendations and cures for the #4 visiting the southwest in 2020

  • Use blue in your décor in the southwest of your home or office in 2020.
  • Place a Jiangongliye Wealth and wish enhancer in the southwest of your home or office
  • If you have an office and study in the southwest, place a task light and a crystal globe on the work desk. Blue items can be added on the desk, e.g. blue paper, blue books etc
  • Avoid displaying too many metal objects in the southwest; especially large heavy ornaments such as dumbbells
  • Fresh flowers or small pots of green leafy or flowering plants can be displayed in this spot of the house to lift the qi. Blue or green flowers are a good choice.
  • If you have the Taohua mandarin Ducks, this is a good area to have them and any other symbols of romance like hugging couples etc.
  • Place a Kwan Yin statue in the southwest, but please keep it higher than ground level
  • Place photos of loved ones or images of love to enhance relationships or attract new love. This can do with photos, paintings or statues, make sure there is always a pair in the image.

The 5 Yellow In 2020 – The annual 5 Yellow Lian Zhen star of tragedy is located in the east palace.

Bad Flying Stars

In 2020, the east of every building around the world will be affected by the malevolent effects of the annual #5 earth star and if left untreated can cause problems to all occupants ranging from a major illness, accidents, fatalities or bankruptcy so please make sure you treat the east with the appropriate cures for 2020. The east is going to need some good quality metal cures this year and will need to be kept calm and quiet to avoid activating this inauspicious star.

Although the east will be a very afflicted area during 2020, please do not feel that there is no solution to this; with Feng Shui, there is always a way to manage or dissipate an inauspicious star, and if you place the relevant cures and keep the area calm and settled, you can avoid activating this area  and avoid any problems that the annual #5 star can bring.

Part of Michael and Jo’s kitchen is in the east of their home, and like most homes, this is the central hub with visitors sitting around and chatting at the kitchen table, and they will generally spend a lot of time in there so for 2020, they will be taking the following steps to ensure they can still use this area and avoid problems –

  • Place a Salt water cure on the kitchen worktop
  • I will be gifting them some of my weightlifting plates to place under the kickboards
  • They will be hanging Six Chinese i-ching coins In a row in the east to weaken the #5 star
  • They will be avoiding orange, purple, lilac, pink, burgundy and red decorations and tea towels in the east as this would feed the bad earth star and cause problems
  • I am sure that Jo will be getting new tea towels in metal colours to hang on the oven door.
  • They will be hanging a Six rod hollow metal wind chime in the east for 2020

Metal Feng ShuiIf the east of your home or office falls into a bedroom, office or other important room such as a living room, it is very important that this area is treated similarly to the steps above as human interaction will make this area very more likely to be activated. If you have a main door in the east, please make sure that you follow the advice for this year and ensure that the door is not slammed shut as this will activate the negative effects of the annual #5. Peace, along with strong metal cures, will help avoid the effects of this star.

If you can, please avoid any renovation or ground breaking; this includes building an extension, knocking through an internal wall, laying a patio, replacing a bathroom suite and all other similar activities. If you have no choice but to carry out work this year, please try to do this when we have an auspicious monthly star fly into the east which would be in February, April, July, August, September, November, and January 2021.

My general rule of thumb when carrying out small tasks in a minor area such as hammering a nail to hang a picture or drill a hole is to minimise as much noise as you can; if you can use a manual hand drill, it is better to be safe than sorry.

For 2020, I would strongly suggest placing these Cures in the east of your home or office:

Six Chinese i-ching coins In a row

Salt water cure

Six rod hollow metal wind chime

6 Rod hollow metal wind chimeIf you would prefer not to use traditional Feng Shui cures in 2020, please do not worry as there is still a lot of ways to weaken the negative influence of the annual #5 star this year. I would recommend some good quality, heavy metal into the east of your home or office such as a stainless-steel dog bowl and weight lifting plates. Good shapes are items made from metal that are round. Please make sure that you don’t disturb the east with any noisy activities, renovations or maintenance work. Houses with gardens to this corner of the property should avoid disturbing the ground with major digging or building work in the east.

Feng Shui pendulum clockA pendulum chiming clock in the east is a very effective cure this year, and while this contradicts what I said about keeping the area quiet, the chiming sound of the clock is as important as the moving metal of the pendulum. In the old days, they would have had someone striking a gong quietly every 15 to 60 minutes.

Another powerful cure for the east is to place a brass Wu Lou or gold coloured gourd to protect wealth and avoid legal problems, arguments, disputes and loss of wealth.

feng shui metal coloursWhatever you do, please do not place any red objects, bright lights, candles or red coloured furnishing in the east of your home or office from the 4th of February 2020 to the 3rd of February 2021 as this will only cause harm and aggravate the #5 yellow. Do not worry if you have these colours already and cannot remove them, introduce some metal colours into the east such as white, silver, gold or copper in the way of a floor mat, cushions, throws, tablecloth or such like. You can also use dark blue or black if you prefer.

If your bathroom, cloakroom, en-suite, guest room or a large cupboard is located here, this is good for you this year, because these areas are not used much, and therefore the negative power is not activated, I would still place the cures though regardless of what room is located in the east.

Summary for the annual #5 star in the east in 2020:

Take extra care in March, May, June, October, and December.

Please avoid activating the negative energy brought on by the annual #5 star with loud noises or ground-breaking in the east.

Avoid placing fire colours in the east of your home or office such as orange, red or purple. Introduce metal colours such as white, silver, gold or copper.

Although I have mentioned it quite a lot in the advice above, please try to keep the east as quiet as possible this year and make sure that you have your annual cures and enhancers on the 4th of February 2020; if you miss this date, you can place them at any time in the year of the Rat.

recommendations and cures for the #5 visiting the east in 2020

  • Avoid playing loud music in the east of the home or room.
  • Keep doors closed in the east this year as much as possible
  • Do not decorate the east with any red or earth colours this year. Grey, blue or white beddings and curtains are good colours to use.
  • Place a salt water cure in the east of the building along with six Chinese coins tied in a row with red ribbon and six hollow metal rod wind chime.
  • The six coins in row and salt cure are a crucial cure to place in 2020; please do not forget it.
  • Place a Brass Wu-Lou in the east corner of the room if this is your bedroom.
  • Metal objects such as six Chinese metal coins tied in a red ribbon and a brass Dragon can be placed in this corner too. Do not to use red dragons.
  • Do not burn candles in the east during 2020 and please avoid any triangular shapes
  • Tsai Shen Yeh (God of wealth) in gold colour is very effective at not only reducing the bad earth but by also protecting your wealth.
  • Replace or at the very least cleanse your Ba Gua mirror if you have one in the east. Especially if you have a door here.
  • If you have a main door in the east in 2020, make sure that you oil the hinges and try not to let it bang shut and oil squeaky hinges.

Ch’ien 6 White – The star of Heaven Chien 6 White (Wu Qu) sits in the southeast palace in 2020.

Flying Stars 2020 6 Star Chien

In 2020, we have the annual #6 money star fly into the southeast. The #6 star is a compassionate star and when activated with the relevant cures and enhancers, can bring financial and career luck during the year of the Rat. If you have a job in politics, a leadership role, jewellery or a manager’s position, this area is very important to you this year, and you should follow the advice below carefully.

If the main door of your home or office is located in the southeast this year or if you have a bedroom, office or other important room located here, the human activity will help to activate the auspicious energy of this area and can bring fame, wealth, success and overall good luck in 2020.

Caiyuangungun Sheng Chi cureOne of the most powerful and important cures for 2020 is to place a Caiyuangungun Sheng Chi cure in the southeast of your home or office to enhance and protect wealth luck. This traditional and powerful cure works similarly to Chinese New Year couplets in the sense that they should be kept up for the year to cure and enhance the auspicious influence of the southeast in 2020.

The southeast has the inherent #4 wood star which will be draining energy from the #6 which can lead to a loss of wealth. To balance the energies for the year, we need to introduce some powerful earth cures into the southeast to balance this energy and allow the annual star to be activated which is why we have included the Sheng Chi cure with all our 2020 annual or deluxe cures and enhancers kits.

ChuXi Crystal gemstone tree for wealth and career luckAlthough an auspicious star that brings success and accomplishment, the annual #6 star can cause problems with the liver and legs if located in a bedroom in 2020; the cure for this would be to introduce some water colours such as bedsheets or curtains for the year. Good water colours to use are shades of blue, black, grey, and charcoal.

Another crucial cure for the southeast in 2020 is to place a ChuXi Crystal gemstone tree for wealth and career luck as this extremely potent wealth and career enhancer, and protector helps to protect and enhance existing and future wealth in 2020 and future years.

The southeast of your home or office is a lovely area in 2020, and if you have a main door or important room located here, you can benefit from this powerful influence during the year of the Rat.

Good colours to use in the southeast this year are earth colours such as yellow, beige or brown. If you like to work with crystals, you could place some real quartz or a faceted crystal sphere in the southeast this year as these are very good for activating the wealth and business side of this nice star.

recommendations and cures for the #6 visiting the southeast in 2020

  • If this is your bedroom, a shade of blue or black in your furnishing or décor may help with health. A blue painting (not water scene) may also do.

Tui 7 Red – The Lofty Wind of Tui (Po Jun) flies into the centre in 2020

Flying Stars 2020 7 Star Tui

As of the 4th of February 2020, the annual #7 robbery star will fly into the centre of every home, office, and building all across the world, and if left alone without the appropriate cures and enhancers, this star has the risk of causing arguments, burglary risks, deception, copyright theft, backstabbing and overall bad luck this year. The central palace tends to resonate throughout the other eight palaces, so it is important that this area is treated with the appropriate cures and recommendations below to ensure that peace is kept in the home and office in 2020.

The centre will usually fall into a hallway and landing, depending on the size of the building although if the centre of your home or office falls into an area with a  main door or window, it is vital that the locks and overall security are checked throughout the year; it is also wise to double check smoke alarms throughout the year to ensure they are working correctly and avoid candles and naked flames here.

Mei Hua Fu Zhou Protection Plum Blossom AmuletThe Most powerful cure for the centre of your home or office in 2020 is to hang a Mei Hua Fu Zhou Protection Plum Blossom Amulet to be used to dissipate negative energy of the #7 robbery star trapped in the centre of every building in the world which is why we have carefully selected this for our 2020 Cures and Enhancers kits.

The centre of your home or office can cause a lot of problems to all occupants in 2020 as we have the annual #7 argument star enter the here and we will have double the metal energy from the inherent energy of the #6 star in the centre; the annual #7 stars energy will be naturally enhanced by this and we will need to introduce some water colours to weaken this.

Although it is not as common, if you live in u shaped home and have the main door in the centre, it is important that you hang a Ba Gua wealth protection mirror outside for added protection in 2020 and make sure that you do not slam the door and oil the hinges regularly.

safety and security predictions for 2020I have already mentioned double checking the security in your home or office but please do not take this advice lightly as the influence of the annual #7 star can increase the risk of robbery and deception. I always say that prevention is the best cure and by checking over your home throughout the year, along with placing the Mei Hua Fu Zhou, you can avoid any potential problems that could incur from the #7 star this year. Do not display any valuable items on windowsills as there is a risk of a passer-by seeing a quick opportunity.

It pays to be wise and avoid taking too many risks if you have an important room in the centre this year as there may be unscrupulous people working against you. There are indications of misunderstandings, pressure and business rivalries that could also lead to losses.

Smoke alarms and Feng ShuiThe best advice I can give for the centre in 2020 is to check your smoke alarms regularly, and if you do not have any, especially in the centre, please ensure you install them before the 4th of February 2020. Please make sure that you also check electrics and check the security of windows and doors.

Please take extra care during March, May, July, August, and December as this will bring an increased chance of robbery and arguments.

Summary for the annual #7 star in the centre in 2020:

Please make sure that you keep the centre of your home of office as quiet as possible in 2020 and ensure that you check your smoke alarms at regular intervals this year. Good colour options for the centre are water colours such as shades of blue, black, or grey and be sure to avoid earth colour and crystals in the centre this year.

If you have an office or door in the centre, please be careful of people trying to deceive you, robbery, arguments and loss of wealth, always look at the very small print and be careful as this star normally causes problems with people you know and thought you could trust.

Recommendations and cures for the #7 visiting the centre in 2020:

  • You should try to introduce some water colours such as blue in your decoration. You can introduce the colour with cushions, rugs, bed covers or doormats.
  • Do not use anything of fire element or colours red to control it as this may aggravate it.
  • Avoid candles at all costs in the centre during 2020
  • Place a Mei Hua Fu Zhou Protection Plum Blossom Amulet in the centre of your home or office in 2020 for protection
  • Install or service/upgrade smoke alarms and security systems.
  • Do not hang metal wind chimes here.

Ken 8 White has flown in to the northwest for 2020

Flying Stars 2020 8 Star Gen

The #8 Ken white star is the most auspicious governing Flying Star for the next five years while we are in period 8 (2004-2024) and 2020, we have the annual #8 Zuo Fu wealth and overall luck star fly into the northwest of every home, office, business and building across the world and if left untreated, the inherent energy of the northwest will weaken the influence of the primary wealth star for the year, causing financial and legal issues for the year ahead.

If you have activated the northwest of your home or office for 2020 and have a main door, office, bedroom or any other important room that is used frequently in the northwest this year, this is great news for you and you should make the most of this lovely influence.

Lian Cai Zhong Nian Master cureAs with every new Solar year in Feng Shui, you must place a very special Master cure and the most powerful and important cure, and enhancer in 2020 is called a Lian Cai Zhong Nian Master cure and must only be placed in a Yang Metal Rat (Geng Zi) year. As with every other year, we have included the LianCaiZhong Nian master cure standard in all of our 2020 Cures and Enhanncers kits.

This master cure and enhancer must be placed to enhance and protect wealth and overall luck in 2020 and is especially needed for males of the home, including the eldest male although this will have a very strong effect on all occupants, including females of a home, office or business when placed in the northwest.

What direction door is good feng shui in 2020If you have an office, study or main door in the northwest of your home or office in 2020, wealth, fame, prestige, romance and distinction can be expected when activated throughout the year with the relevant cures and enhancers.

Another extremely important cure and enhancer for the annual #8 star is to place a Panglong double coiled Dragon chasing pearl to enhance the annual #8 wealth star in 2020 and ensure wealth and career are protected and enhanced throughout the year of the Rat. We have included the coiled Dragon statue as standard in all our 2020 Cures and Enhnncers kits this year.

Panglong double coiled Dragon chasing pearlWe had the Panglong dragon created especially for us to make this cure as powerful as it can be for the home and office. The annual #8 earth star has flown into the northwest for 2020 which has an inherent good metal energy which would cause friction between these two good stars, which is why we selected the coiled Dragon and had it hand painted to create a Sheng cycle to control the energy in the northwest and ensure that each element is enhancing the next. If you work with  quartz crystals, crystal balls or hanging faceted crystals these are very good for the northwest palace this year. The #8 star also governs relationships, so a nice romance enhancer is to display a pair of rose quartz double hearts or a pair of Mandarin Ducks this year.

Whilst wealth is forecast in 2020 for the northwest; it is important that you are careful not to overwork too much this year as this can bring health problems. The additional work will bring a good income but be careful of your health; in particular, stress related resulting in high blood pressure or kidney problems.

Chinese animal career predictions for 2020Do not place heavy metal in the northwest this year, as it will weaken the good earth and stop the #8 star from being activated.

This is a very strong wealth, success and romance area for 2020 when activated, so try and store your important financial papers here like pensions, stock portfolio etc. in the northwest. If you use symbolic cures, this is where you should place your three-legged Toad facing your Sheng Chi direction for wealth or a pair of rose quartz crystal hearts for romance.

Summary for the annual #8 star in the northwest in 2020:

Take extra care of health in April, June, August, September, and January 2021.

recommendations and cures for the #8 visiting the northwest in 2020

  • Place a Panglong double coiled Dragon chasing pearl in the northwest of your home or office
  • Keep the northwest of your home or office clean throughout the year and make sure it is free of clutter during 2020
  • Place a Lian Cai Zhong Nian Master cure for wealth protection in the northwest
  • Do not use red colours, fires or candles in the northwest this year.
  • Place a gold coloured Tsai Shen Yeh statue in the northwest of your home or office to protect wealth

Li 9 Purple  You Bi Li 9 Purple is found in the west in 2020

Flying Stars 2020 9 Star Li

The annual #9 purple (You Bi) star has flown into the west from the 4th of February 2020, and the inherent energy of the west will be weakening the auspicious influence of the auspicious visiting star. We will need to introduce some strong wood elements to enhance the annual star in 2020 to make sure that future wealth is protected and enhanced this year.

9 Purple is the star of future wealth and has an auspicious influence in Period 8. Career opportunities and promotions are possible, and this is especially the case if you have an office or main door in the west in 2020. There is fame and acknowledgement, growth and improvement.

Feng Shui bedroom lightingThis is a good area, in general, this year and especially for those who are involved in studies in 2020. If this is a family area (living, dining or a library), you should try to encourage children to study here.

Couples with a bedroom in this location can look forward to good relationships this year, and there may also be a chance of producing intelligent children. If you want to enhance this further, you should place a statue of Kwan Yin in the west part of your bedroom.

BiXi Dragon headed tortoiseTo enhance the auspicious #9 star in the west during 2020, I would place a Bixi Dragon headed Tortoise sitting on a bed of coins and wealth ingots in the west of your home or office to ensure that both existing and future wealth is protected and enhanced over the next year.

The Dragon is one of the most commanding and sacred figures in Feng Shui and is known to be a symbol of protection of wealth and career. It reputedly has absolute power and symbolises honour, power and all that is right in the world. The bed of coins and wealth ingots symbolises wealth generation. The Tortoise symbolises longevity, energy strengthening and protection, making the Dragon headed tortoise an imperative cure for the annual #9 star.

  1. Hi Daniel,

    Thanks

    Maya

    1. Hi Maya,

      I would recommend introducing incense into your home during the next few days to appease any spirits.

      I hope this helps.

      Kind regards,
      Daniel

  2. According to the Article , Placing the Bixi Dragon headed Tortoise in the WEST(#9)
    The West and Center(#7) are my living room.
    Which direct can “Bixi Dragon headed Tortoise” face?(please answer this)
    if the “Bixi Dragon headed Tortoise” face East , that would be facing me while I watch TV.

    1. Hi Marcus,

      I would place the Dragon headed Tortoise in the east of your home, facing into the room rather than facing a wall or corner.

      I hope this helps.

      Kind regards,
      Daniel

      1. East of my home is my Bedroom .. and East of my bedroom is a window. it would face the wall below the window if its facing east of my bedroom which is east my my home

        Thank you

        1. Hi,

          That will be fine to place on the windowsill if it is looking into the room. I would place the statue in the east of your home, rather than the east of your room.

          I hope this helps.

          Kind regards,
          Daniel

  3. Hi Daniel
    We have a beautiful round brass plate, about ten inches in diameter, that I would like to hang on a wall. Where would you advise hanging this?
    Thank you

    1. Hi Ke,

      I would recommend placing this in the south or east in 2020.

      I hope this helps.

      Kind regards,
      Daniel

  4. 1. I’m born Oct. 11, 1968 in NY, NY, USA at 15:50. I’m Gua 1 F, Earth monkey year, wood tiger day; some books say my lucky element is fire (and too much water in my other pillars) and some say metal is lucky; wish I know for sure.
    2. What can I do to enhance feng shui this year to help with general discepline and weight loss?
    3. Also, any advice on enhance and cures for me this year aside from info on this site? Experiencing financial, family/relationship trouble, health trouble, lack of work/career but I meditate deeply, am spiritual. Front door is in SE just barely within the border of S sector but all windows look to the N/NE; I live in studio apt. so no separate bedroom; bed in SW. Am concerned about toilet/bath in SE. Thank you so much for your wonderful site and for your assistance! : ) Lots of good wishes to you.

    1. Hi Lan,

      As a Gua #1, your enhancing elements are metal and water.

      For health and fitness in 2020, I would recommend placing metal in the east as this will avoid fitness and health issues this year.

      Unfortunately, it is very hard to advise on a home without doing a full consultation. The best thing I can recommend is the advice on the 2020 Flying star page as this will be relevant to all homes and buildings around the world.

      I hope this helps.

      Kind regards,
      Daniel

    1. Hi Dalia,

      The best place for a water fountain and water bowl would be in the northwest in 2020 although I do not like to advise using water fountains unless you know the fixed flying stars of your home as this energy can cause more bad than good at times.

      I hope this helps.

      Kind regards,
      Daniel

      1. Thank you.
        Is that the only direction? Because I have a couch there and my apartment is narrow so NW is a small area.

  5. Hi. I just found this site and it’s amazing with so much information.
    I am born 5/3/78, year of the horse and have a legal issue/affliction that can jeopardise my reputation and career. What can I do to maximise my chance of a good outcome?

    1. Hi Jess,

      I would recommend reading the advice for the annual #7 star as this can cause legal issues and career problems; this is located in the centre of your home in 2020 and is an important area to treat with water colours.

      https://www.fengshuiweb.co.uk/advice/flyingstars2020/7star.htm

      you can also follow the advice for the monthly #7 star which will also help a great deal. Here is the link for this – https://www.fengshuiweb.co.uk/advice/flyingstarsapril2020.htm

      I hope this helps, Jess and hope that you resolve your problem.

      Kind regards,
      Daniel

  6. Hello Daniel,
    Me and my husband would really like to have a healthy baby this year. What can we do/place and where to enhance our abilty to get pregnant?
    Thanks very much,
    Agnes

    1. Hi Agnes,

      A fantastic fertility cure this year is the Jiangongliye wish and romance enhancer. Here is the link for this – https://www.fengshuiweb.co.uk/shop/cures/jiangongliye-wish-and-romance-enhancer

      I would recommend following the advice for the southwest in 2020 as this is your relationship area and will help with fertility. – https://www.fengshuiweb.co.uk/advice/flyingstars2020/4star.htm

      I hope this helps, Agnes and wish you luck with your pregnancy.

      Kind regards,
      Daniel
