What do we do with this information?

In every building, there are good and bad palaces that affect our daily lives. How and who gets affected (good or bad) depends on who occupies which area of the home or business. The best Cure is to be aware of the influences each month and know how to capitalise on the beneficial energies or avoid the unfavourable influences either through enhancers or cures or avoidance. Knowing the effects of the influences allows us to take appropriate measures and actions to calm interactions.

So, do not get too worried when you come across a particularly bad sector – sometimes, with thought, care and the appropriate elements, we can balance any conflict of energies or compensate for the lack of an element to bring harmony to a palace. If a palace is particularly bad, avoidance is the best cure. Please do not panic when you find that your bedroom is located in an affected sector for the month. This is only a temporary influence and can be avoided.

• Use the beneficial areas more and the areas of negative influences less. For example, if the living room is affected by conflicting energies, try not to play loud music in this room for the month. By keeping the area quiet, you successfully manipulate the effect of the energies.
• If possible, use another door if your main door is affected this month.
• Use the good sectors to solve existing problems, whether they concern relationships or money matters.

If your main door is affected and this is the only door you have on your property, you should take extra care in what you do during the affected month. You will know it may not be a good time to take risks and also to take extra care of your health.

Xuan Kong Flying Stars February 2023:

From the 4th of February to the 5th of March 2023, it is the first month – Jia Yin (Yang Wood Tiger) of theGui Mao year (Yin Water Rabbit) with the ruling energy of #8 in the central grid.

On February 4th, we will see a huge shift in energy as we will have the annual and monthly Flying stars change for the year of the Rabbit. I have written the February 2023 Flying stars with this in mind and will be recommending annual cures that should be placed for the whole of 2023, along with the monthly cures that should be placed between the 4th of February and the 5th of March. If you have not already read the 2023 Flying star analysis, I would recommend doing so as this can drastically change luck for the year. Read the 2023 Flying star analysis here 

North

Sun 4 green Wen Qu romance and literacy star is a wood star. It affects the thighs, hip, buttock, bladder, liver and can cause colds and flu although on the whole it is considered an auspicious star. The Sun wood 4 is a conditional star and is auspicious in Period 8 (2004 – 2024).

In February 2023, we will have the monthly #4 and annual #9 stars fly into the north and as we will be introducing fire and wood cures for the annual star, the best option is to introduce wood cures for the monthly #4 star. Please avoid water colours in the north in February as this will destroy the energy of the #9 annual star.

It governs romance, career, travel, creative, academic and artistic talents, wisdom and intelligence as well as self-development. With the wood of the #4 star flying in for the month, we can expect a lovely energy from here as it creates a lovely peach blossom if activated correctly with the right enhancers.

This cure and enhancer when used is a manifestation enhancer and it is good to place an image that represents everything you want to achieve in life, an example to some would be a picture of a beautiful home that you desire, a male or female that you admire, a car like a Ferrari or Mini, the number of children you would like, I think you are getting the picture by now, just create a dream board with all that you desire pinned to it or draw the image or you can even download some images from www.google.com this really is a very powerful way of manifesting your dreams and it really does work, remember to place the image in this area this month.

Whilst this star is very auspicious if you have any poison arrows like lamp posts, pylons or large corners of house’s pointing toward this area consider hanging a ba gua wealth protection mirror outside pointing toward the offending object as the #4 star can bring both wanted and unwanted romantic opportunities to the household if the cures are not put in place.

Having a door in this area can bring in new opportunities and lots of travel and perfect for a company that deals with travel or printing. Do not use fire or metal in this area or colours white, silver this month. Do not worry if you have these colours already just introduce green colours in the way of a floor mat, cushions, tablecloth or such like.

Couples with a bedroom in this location can also enjoy good relationships. There may also be a chance of producing intelligent children. If you want to enhance this further place a statue of Kwan Yin in this area of your bedroom.

Another traditional way to enhance fertility is to display peanuts in shells (groundnuts) or any seed products like 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.

You should display them anywhere in the bedroom and of course be careful if anyone in the home suffers with nut allergies.

Good colours are different shades of green. 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.

Cures and enhancers summary:

   – Use green in your décor if this is your office or bedroom.

   – Avoid displaying metal objects here especially large heavy ornaments

   – Fresh flowers or small pots of green leafy or flowering plants can be displayed in this spot of the house to lift the qi. Green flowers are a good choice.

   – If you have mandarin ducks this is a good area to have them and any other symbols of romance like hugging couples etc.

   – Place photos of loved ones or images of love to enhance relationships or attract new love. This can be photos, paintings or statues, make sure there is always a pair in the image.

   – For romance, a Dragon headed Tortoise, or Mandarin Ducks are very good

This is a lovely influence for the month, and if you follow all this advice here, your month will be just fine.

recommendations and cures for the #9 annual star visiting the north in 2023

• Healthy green leafy plants or blue flowering plants such as violets are good for this area.
• Place a Jubaopen Wealth bowl of fortune and success Talisman in the north of your home and office in 2023.
• Fresh flowers displayed here will bring positive qi too.
• Candles can be used here to strengthen the inherent energy of the annual #9 star.
• Symbolic objects such as a wu lou or eight Chinese coins can be placed here all year round to enhance benevolent influence and, simultaneously, dissipate the malevolent influence by visiting monthly #2 and #5 (April and October).
• Fire colours such as red, orange, purple, burgundy, lilac and pink will work well in the north in 2023.

Northeast

Kun 2 Black (Ju Men) is an earth star and a yin Trigram. It affects the stomach, digestive, general sickness and problems with thought process. It also affects the Matriarch (eldest female) and overall very inauspicious and needs either cures or avoidance this month in this area otherwise it can cause many problems.

In February 2023, we will have the annual #7 star fly into the northeast, along with the monthly #2 star and while this is an inauspicious area, it is also easy to treat this month. I would recommend placing the annual water cures here as this will also drain energy from the monthly #2 star. Please do not treat this area with metal cures that are used for the #2 star such as six coins this month as this would feed the inherent energy of the annual #7; placing metal cures designated for the #7 star will be fine as these are designed especially for this.

If your bedroom, office, lounge, main door or other important room is located in this area this month and you are unable to move out please read this section carefully. The good news is you now know this is an inauspicious star and you can do much to dissipate its negative influences for the month, so do not panic at all.

Try and keep this area of your building as quiet as possible and avoid building work or renovations this month. If this part of your building is a bathroom, utility room, guest bedroom or other less important room do not panic, this is great news for you and no cures are needed this month.

If your front door, bedroom, office, lounge or other well-used room is located in this area this month this will inevitably activate its malicious effects, so read on…

This star affects the health of those under its influence bringing with it wealth problems, sickness, disease, bad luck, stress, stomach and digestive problems, bloated feeling, gossip, back stabbing, family harmony and distress.

The 2 Black in Period 8 is an untimely star and hence its influence will be of a negative nature. This month, please avoid metal cures and instead place water cures to weaken the annual star and drain energy from the monthly star. It will be fine to place a salt water cure here for the month.

Avoid triangular or sharp shapes in this area. Ladies expecting should try and avoid using a bedroom if it is located in this area. If there is no choice implement the necessary cures. You should also sleep with the crown of your head in your personal Tien Yi direction. Males who spend a lot of time in this area should be careful of what they eat this month and a good time to think about a lifestyle change.

Good colours to use here this month are water colours such as black, grey, and shades of blue.

More importantly, do not decorate this room with red fire colours or triangle shapes items and most important avoid burning candles or leaving bright fiery coloured lights on for too long during the month. The most important cures to place in this area is a salt water cure.

Do not undertake any form of noisy renovations or re-decorative work in this part of your house or office. Nor should you disturb the ground by digging, building foundations or conduct any maintenance work with any noisy equipment in this area inside or outside your property or garden this month.

Once disturbed, this affliction will bring about three types of misfortunes financial loss, sickness and arguments.

Remedies

   – Introduce water colours into this area for the month as this will help drain energy from the #2 star.

   – Avoid using red colour in this room and refrain from displaying triangle shape or fiery pictures.

   – Avoid candles or bright lights at all costs. Check or upgrade smoke alarms and other fire prevention methods.

   – Place a Ba Gua mirror in this area outside this month.

Remember this is only a passing influence for the month and if you follow all this advice here your month will be just fine.

Recommendations and cures for the #7 annual star visiting the northeast in 2023:

• Place water and wood colours in the northeast during 2023.
• Plants in the northeast will help to drain energy from the annual #7 star.
• You should try to introduce some watercolours 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 the colour red to control it as this may aggravate it.
• Do not use candles in the northeast this year, as this will strengthen the energy of the #7 star.
• Place a Huaxianweiyi rice cure in the northeast of your home or office for protection.
• Install or service/upgrade smoke alarms and security systems.
• Do not hang metal wind chimes here.

East

Ch’ien 6 White The star of Heaven star (Wu Qu) is a compassionate money star and a yang Trigram and it affects the lungs, large intestines and head and can impact the Patriarch (eldest male) although on the whole it is considered an auspicious star.

The east is not a very nice area in February as we will have the annual #2 star fly in along with Tai Sui; we will also have the monthly #6 star fall here and can benefit from the annual cures that we will be placing to weaken the annual star also feeding the monthly star which will help weaken the overall energy of this area. Please do not place any crystals or earth cures here this month.

The Ch’ien metal 6 is a conditional star and is auspicious in Period 8 (2004 – 2024). It governs wealth, leadership, success and ambition and is very good for politicians, leaders and anyone involved in the jewellery business.

Those with a main door, office/study in this area will benefit greatly this month although please make sure that the door is not slammed often as this will likely activate Tai Sui.

Those who have main doors or offices in this area may enjoy excellent business and career success. However, whilst 6 White represents accomplishment, if the #6 monthly star is located in a bedroom it can cause problems with the throat, and/or legs and also problems with breathing especially for the eldest male although they are minor problem and nothing to worry about if you follow the advice here. If you do have a bedroom in this area place some blue, black, grey or charcoal cloth such as a rug or duvet covers to dissipate its energy.

Enhancers and cures if needed:

   – 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.

   – Place a set of six coins in a row in this area; these are very traditional and powerful cures. Be sure to leave these up all year to weaken the annual #2 star.

   – Avoid crystals in this area this month.

   – Avoid colours red and candles in this area this month

This is a lovely influence for the month and if you follow all this advice here your month will be just fine.

Remedies and advice for the #2 annual star visiting the east in 2023

• Place a salt water cure in the east during 2023
  Place a Pi Shi Tai Sui gold plated plaque in the east during 2023
• 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 with a red ribbon.
• A good quality brass wealth ingot protects wealth in the east 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 2023 to avoid activating the double #2 energy and Sui Po.
• 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.
• Please do not place crystals here, as this will feed the inherent energy of the annual #2
• Avoid candles or bright lights at all costs. Check or upgrade smoke alarms and other fire prevention methods.

Southeast

Tui 7 Red  (Po Jun) robbery star is a metal star and a yin trigram and known as the mischievous Po Jun #7 argumentative red star is a negative influence in Period 8. The trigram Tui is also known as ’Broken Soldier’. This is a fighting star which can cause problems if left alone, the #7 Red indicates a high risk of burglary, deception, copyright theft, gossip and back stabbing this month.

The southeast is not a nice combination this month although like the east, this is an easy area to treat. In February 2023, we will have the annual #3 fly into the southeast, along with the monthly #7 and the best option for this combination is to introduce fire cures and colours as this will weaken the annual star, and while it will destroy the monthly star, the fire energy is being dispersed between two elements and would not cause any issues. Please avoid water cures and colours in the southeast this month as this would feed the annual #3 star.

This area is not good for writers, artist or children studying and especially so for the youngest daughter although cures can be placed to dissipate the negative influence this month so do not worry.

If you have a door that is used often in this area or even a window you should be looking to update security, smoke alarms and checking electrics. Please take this advice seriously as I have been doing this a long time and I know when this combination meets it can cause many problems this month.

You should also hang a flat Ba Gua mirror with a Chinese i-ching coin on the back for added protection this month especially if you have a main door here.

Sorry to harp on but please take extra security measures especially if you have a front, back or side door in this sector. Make sure doors and windows are fastened securely before leaving the house. Do not display valuable items on windowsills, which may attract the interests of passers-by.

It pays to be wise and avoid taking too many risks for there may be unscrupulous people working against you. There are indications of misunderstandings, pressure and business rivalries that could also lead to losses. Keep this area quiet and doors and windows kept closed this month.

Good colours are fire colours. Avoid earth and water colours and quartz crystals. If you have an office or door in this area 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.

Remedy:

   – You should also use more fire colours in your decoration this month. You can introduce the colour with cushions, rugs, bed covers or doormats.

   – Install or service/upgrade smoke alarms and security systems.

   – Do not hang metal wind chimes here.

Remember this is only a passing influence for the month and if you follow all this advice here your month will be just fine.

Remedies and advice for the #3 annual star visiting the southeast in 2023

• A fast cure is to place a light in the southeast of your home or office. If you have a choice, a lamp with a wooden stand and a peach/red shade is better.
• Place a Paijie laughing protection Buddha in the southeast of your home or office.
• Avoid metal cures in the southeast, especially windchimes.
• Take extra security measures for the whole home or business during 2023, and check smoke alarms regularly.
• Regularly lighting a candle in the southeast will help weaken the annual #3 star in 2023.
• Check through everything before signing documents, especially if your office is in the southeast.
• Beware of backstabbing, as sometimes it is unseen behind your back and from someone, you thought you knew quite well.
• You should avoid having a water feature in the southeast unless you understand your fixed flying stars well.
• Introduce fire and earth colours into the southeast to weaken the #3 wood star.

South

Chen 3 Jade (Lu Cun Xing) is a wood star and a yang Trigram. It affects the feet, lungs, convulsions, liver, bladder, limbs and hysteria. It also affects the eldest son and overall very inauspicious and needs cures or avoidance this month in this area otherwise it can cause many problems.

In February 2023, we will have the annual #8 fly into the south, along with the monthly #3 making this a nice area to treat by introducing fire cures and colours as this will enhance the annual #8 and also weaken the monthly #3. You can still place crystals in the south in February to enhance the annual #8 star as this will drain energy from the monthly star.

You must be aware of possible theft, arguments, disputes, hot tempers, loss of wealth and legal problems especially if you have a main door or important room in this area this month.

If your bedroom, office, lounge, main door or other important room is located in this area and you are unable to move out please read this section carefully. The good news is you now know this is an inauspicious star and you can do much to dissipate its negative influences for the month, so do not panic at all.

To remedy its effects, use red decorative objects, candles, lamps and lights. A nice simple cure is a red, pink, purple, burgundy (fire colour) floor mat or a table lamp with a red shade.  Do not use metal (metal colour is ok) to control this energy.

If you have a main door or an important room like office, lounge or study ensure that documents signed during the month are checked through thoroughly before committing. The influence of a Chen 3 in Period 8 denotes possible arguments, disagreement, back stabbing and in extreme cases, this can result in lawsuits, either as a petitioner or a defendant and also causes loss of wealth.

Either case there will be a loss of time, energy and wealth, so please be careful during this month especially if you have a main door in this area and if you can, try and use another door to enter and leave. You should also hang a Ba Gua mirror with a Chinese i-ching coin on the rear for added protection this month.

Do not undertake any form of noisy renovations or re-decorative work in this part of your house or office this month. Nor should you disturb the ground by digging, building foundations or conduct any maintenance work with any noisy equipment in this area inside or outside your property or garden this month.

To calm interactions:

   – Place a light in this area if you have a choice, a lamp with a wooden stand and a peach/red shade is better.

   – Do not hang wind chimes of any material in this area this month, especially metal wind chimes as it will worsen matters. If you have been advised by a professional Practitioner or our main software flying star section advises you to hang a wind chime, this is fine.

   – During hot summer months, make sure the fan is not located in this area this month.

   – Take extra security measures for the whole home or business during this month and check smoke alarms.

   – Check through everything before signing documents if you have a main door here.

   – Try and keep this area quiet and do not disturb with loud noises.

   – Try not to let children or noisy animals play in this area.

   – Beware of backstabbing, as sometimes it is unseen and behind your back and also from someone you thought you knew quite well.

   – Most important is not to disturb the ground inside or out.

Remember this is only a passing influence for the month, and if you follow all this advice here, your month will be just fine.

recommendations and cures for the #8 annual star visiting the south in 2023

• Place a Changtong Caibo Yisheng Master Cure in the south of your home or office.
• Keep the south clean and tidy as much as possible in 2023, as this will promote fresh Qi flowing towards this area.
• Place a Xinglong Zhufu Yiniansiji wealth enhancer in the south for wealth protection and enhancement.
• Avoid using metal colours in the northeast, such as white, silver, gold, copper or bronze.
• This is also a good study area for children; place a task light and a crystal globe on the desk to enhance concentration.
• A powerful romance enhancer is a pair of rose quartz Mandarin Ducks in the south this year.

Southwest

The 5 Yellow (Lian Zhen) star of tragedy is located in this area this month. It affects the overall luck, virtually all types of illness including many mind related problems with regards to thought process, lack of energy and procrastination. It will not affect anyone in particular in the home as the #5 star does not have a trigram and no yin or yang energy so to speak and this is why the negative aspects of this star are so strong.

In February 2023, we will have the annual #1 star fly into the southwest along with the monthly #5 star, and while this area has an inauspicious star, we can treat this area easily. For the southwest this month, I would recommend placing metal and water cures as these will either weaken the monthly star and enhance the annual star (metal cures) or feed the annual star and drain the monthly star (water cures).

Overall a very inauspicious star and needs either cures or avoidance this month in this area otherwise it can cause many problems. If your bedroom, office, lounge, main door or other important room is located in this area and you are unable to move out please read this section carefully.

The good news is you now know this is an inauspicious star and you can do much to dissipate its negative influences for the month so do not panic at all.

The 5 Yellow also called ‘Wu Huang or Lian Zhen’ in Chinese, is one of the bad monthly afflictions. It is an extremely unstable star. It has no gender and no trigram and is highly treacherous when disturbed. When disturbed, its malicious influence brings tragedy, sickness, lawsuits and major loss of wealth. Do be careful with it. Stillness together with metal cures can keep its negative influences at bay and you must avoid using fire energy like reds and candles in this area this month.

You should place a Wu Lou and six Chinese coins tied with red ribbon and also place more metal decorative objects (provided they are not menacing looking, round shape metal is good) to dissipate its negative influence.

You MUST NEVER disturb this area inside or out with lots of drilling or knocking activities. So please be careful if you have work to do and if you have a main door here you should also place a flat Ba Gua wealth protection mirror.

You must not place red objects, bright lights, candles or red coloured furnishing this month. Do not worry if you have these colours already just introduce colours 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, because these areas are not used much and therefore the negative power is not activated.

Summary: Do not activate this area with loud noises this month, keep area quiet and avoid at all costs building work or refurbishment. Do not use the fire element or colours red, pink or purple.  Keep doors closed. Place a Wu Lou and six coins here along with metal ornaments. Use colours white, silver, gold or copper. I will repeat this part, as it is so important, please keep this area of your home or office as quiet as possible this month, avoid redecoration and building work in this part of your home or office.

To calm interactions:

   – Avoid playing loud music in this area of the home or room.

   – Do not decorate your room with red or earth colours this month. Grey, blue or white beddings and curtains are good colours to use temporarily.

   – Place a set of six Chinese coins tied in a row with red ribbon this month

   – Place a Brass Wu-Lou in this corner of the room if this is your bedroom.

   – Metal objects such as six Chinese metal coins tied in a red ribbon and/or a brass Dragon can be placed in this corner too. Do not to use red dragons.

   – Do not place red objects, burning candles or triangular shaped furnishing in this sector.

   – Most of all, avoid disturbing this area at all costs. Any form of renovations that needs to be done, plan it for another month. It is worth keeping this in mind.

   – A Pi Yao in a gold colour is very effective at not only reducing the bad earth but by also protecting your wealth for the month in this area.

   – Replace or at the very least cleanse your Ba Gua mirror in this area especially if you have a door here.

   – If you have a main door in this area make sure you oil the hinges and try not to let it bang shut and oil squeaky hinges.

   – If you use a fan or other machines that create noise or vibration try and avoid placing it in this part of a room this month.

Remember this is only a passing influence for the month and if you follow all this advice here your month will be just fine.

West

Kan 1 White Kan (Tang Lang) is a water element and a yang Trigram. In the physical body it is the ear. Internal organ it is the kidneys and it is also blood. It also affects wealth career and luck and because it is timely in period 8 (2004 – 2024) it is considered an auspicious flying star.

We will have the monthly #1 in the west and will also have the annual #6 star fly into the west in February 2023 along with the Three Killings and Sui Po, making this an important area to keep settled as much as possible. I would recommend treating this area with metal cures in February as this will feed the annual star and also enhance the monthly star. Crystals and earth cures can be placed here, although try to avoid large geodes unless you are balancing this out with metal cures as too much earth could destroy the monthly #1 energy.

I recently spoke to a lovely lady who is having work done in the west this month which could not be avoided and while this area is afflicted with Sui Po and the Three Killings, we can benefit from an auspicious monthly and annual star which when activated correctly, will weaken the issues here.

This area can also be very good for relationships this month and to enhance you should introduce some metal elements that are round in shape, a traditional enhancer and cure is a brass wu lou or any object that is round in shape and made from a good quality metal like brass copper, steel.

If you activate this area of the home this month with the correct cures (not noisy  activity) it can bring in new opportunities, gains in financial investments, academic achievements and also romance and relationships as peach blossom is very good here.

If this area is a bedroom, office, study lounge or other important room you should place a wu lou or other round metal objects which is auspicious. It is also very good to hang a set of six Chinese i-ching coins tied with red ribbon. This is a very traditional and authentic enhancer for the #1 flying star.

Metal colours such as white, silver, gold, copper and bronze would be a good colour scheme for this room. You can introduce these colours in beddings, throws, lampshades, pillow covers etc. If you have a bed located in this area, remember to place a brass wu-lou beside the bed. Avoid fire colours like red, pink, purple, orange, lilac etc in this area and also avoid candles at all costs.

If you disturb this area this month you may cause problems for the middle son and it could affect ears, kidneys or blood related. If you have any poison arrows like lamp post, pylons or large comers of house’s pointing toward this area consider hanging a flat ba gua mirror outside pointing towards the offending object. Generally, though there is nothing to worry about with the #1 star as it is it is timely and an auspicious star.

Enhancement summary and advice.

   – A brass Wu-Lou is advisable for a bedroom that falls into this area. This is especially so if you are not in good health and if you cannot buy a wu lou place a heavy round object close to your bed but avoid candles or colours red, pink, orange, purple or any fire colours.

   – Place a set of six auspicious i-ching Chinese coins tied with red ribbon in a certain order (Xing Yun Qang) this is so important if you have a middle son sleeping or spending a lot of time in this area this month.

   – Avoid candles or fire colours like red, pink, purple, orange or burgundy in this area.

   – If the middle son is weak and/or unhealthy be careful if extending or refurbishing this area of your home or office this month, it could cause them problems.

   – Place creative enhancements like displaying an abacus, calligraphy set, artist tools like canvas, brushes etc this month.

This is a lovely influence for the month and if you follow all this advice here your month will be just fine.

recommendations and cures for the #6 annual star visiting the west in 2023

• If you have a bedroom in the west in 2023, a shade of blue or black in your furnishing or décor may help with health. A blue painting (not a water scene) may also do.
• Place a Haoyun Zhunian Sheng Chi in the west of your home or office to enhance and protect wealth.
• Crystals will work very well in the west for 2023.
• Avoid fire colours such as red, and please do not light candles in the west unless the monthly stars allow it, as it can cause lung issues.
• Place two Xing Wang four Buddhas of prosperity and luck in the west of your home or workplace to enhance and protect wealth in 2023. The other two Buddhas can be placed in the southwest to enhance the annual #1 star.

Northwest

Li 9 Purple (You Bi) Li 9 Purple is a fire star and a yin trigram and considered a star of future wealth and has an auspicious influence in Period 8. Career opportunities and promotions are probable especially if you have an office or main door in this area this month.

We will have the annual #5 star fly into the northwest in February 2023 along with the monthly #9 star and will need to introduce metal cures here to weaken the annual star as we will have the monthly star enhancing the annual star. Please do not try to activate the monthly star with fire or wood cures this month as this will cause issues with the annual #5. The best option is to place the annual cures for the #5 and leave the #9 untreated.

There is fame and acknowledgement, growth and improvement. It affects the eyes, mental disturbance, blood disorders and stomach and can cause problems at work. These problems only occur when you have poison arrows directed to this area this month. It also affects wealth career and luck and because it is timely in period 8 (2004 – 2024) it is considered an auspicious flying star.

If you disturb this area this month you may cause problems for the middle daughter and it could affect heart, stomach or blood related. If you have any poison arrows like lamp post, pylons or large comers of house pointing toward this area consider hanging a flat ba gua mirror outside pointing toward the offending object. Generally, though there is nothing to worry about with the #9 star as it is it is timely and an auspicious star.

This is a good area in general especially for those in studies. If this is a family area (living, dining or a library), encourage children to study here. Couples with a bedroom in this location can also enjoy good relationships. There may also be a chance of producing intelligent children. If you want to enhance this further place a statue of Kwan Yin in this part of your bedroom.

To enhance:

   – Introduce metal cures to control the energy here during February.

   – Avoid fire colours in the northwest this month.

   – Traditional cures for the #9 star can be placed as long as they are not too large or fire coloured.

This is a lovely influence for the month and if you follow all this advice here your month will be just fine.

recommendations and cures for the #5 annual star visiting the northwest in 2023

• Avoid having the TV or radio at too high a volume in the northwest in 2023
• Keep the northwest of your home clear and tidy throughout the year.
• Do not introduce any red or earth colours to the northwest this year. Silver, gold or white beddings and curtains are good colours to use.
• Place a salt water cure in the northwest 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 a row and salt cure are crucial cures to place in 2023; please do not forget them.
• Place a Brass Wu-Lou in the northwest, especially if your bedroom falls into this area.
• Avoid fire colours and candles in the northwest this year.

Centre

Ken 8 White Zuo Fu is an earth star and a yang Trigram and is the most auspicious governing flying star of the lower era of the sexagenarian cycle of the flying stars (Xuan Kong) system which is period 8 (2004 –  2024).  It affects the hands, fingers, pancreas and back. It also affects wealth career and luck and because it is timely in period 8 (2004 –  2024) it is considered the most auspicious flying star.

The centre is a tricky area in February as we will have the annual #4 star fly in along with the monthly #8 and while we will have two auspicious stars located here, the balance of energy can cause issues if not treated correctly. My advice would be to activate the annual star with wood and water cures, and avoid activating the monthly #8 as this would be detrimental to the annual star. To safely activate the #8 star in the centre, we can use traditional cures that are small in size, although please try to avoid earth colours and introduce shades of green if these are already in place.

Wealth, fame, romance, prestige and distinction can be expected especially if you have an office here, even if you do not you can still activate it. When activated correctly it brings good fortune and exciting times even with the conflict of elements. The #8 star also governs relationships so a nice romance enhancer is a pair of Mandarin Ducks.

Whilst wealth is forecast this month for this area, beware of overworking as this can cause you health problems if you have a bedroom or office here. 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.

Do not place heavy metal in this area of your home or office this month, as it will weaken the good earth.

Once you activate this area it is a very strong wealth, success and romance area for the month so try and store your important financial papers here like pensions, stock portfolio etc. 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 Mandarin Ducks for romance.

To enhance:

   – The energies of the monthly 8 can be activated by human activities. Use this room as frequently as possible unless you have received professional advice against it.

   – A small red three-legged toad can be placed here. Make sure the toad is facing into the house and not towards the door and the coin is never taken out of his mouth.

   – A romance enhancer is a pair of Mandarin Ducks in this area this month.

   – Keep area active with open windows and doors (yang energy).

This is a lovely influence for the month and if you follow all this advice here your month will be just fine.

recommendations and cures for the #4 annual star visiting the centre in 2023

• Use blue or green in your décor in the southeast of your home or office.
• Place a Wanshouwujiang Zhenai wish and romance enhancer in the centre of your home or office in 2023.
• Place a crystal globe on the work desk if you have an office and study in the centre. Blue and green items can be added on the desk, e.g. blue paper, green books etc.
• Avoid displaying too many metal objects in the centre, 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 an excellent area to have them and other symbols of romance like hugging couples.
• Place a Kwan Yin statue in the centre, 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.

This is a lovely influence for the month and if you follow all this advice here your month will be just fine.
