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 July 2026:
From the 7th of July to the 6th of August 2026, it is the sixth month of the year of the Yang Fire Horse – Jia Wu (Yang Wood Horse) month, with the ruling energy of #3 in the central grid.
Unfortunately, there are no ideal locations for candles during July. If you have to burn candles for any particular reason, the southwest is the least harmful area.
The best locations for crystals in July are the north, northeast and northwest.
The best location for plants in July is the southwest.
North
Ken 8 White Zuo Fu is an earth star and a yang Trigram and is still considered an auspicious star during period 9 (2024 – 2044); although not as strong as it was in period 8 it is still very useable. This star affects the hands, fingers, pancreas and back. It also affects wealth, career, and luck, and because it is timely in period 9, you can look forward to solid wealth and recognition luck when you activate this sector.
In July 2026, we will have the monthly #8 fly into the north palace along with the annual #6 star, making this an easy area to treat this month. To make use of the auspicious energy visiting here, you can introduce earth cures, elements and colours here for July.
Please be aware that we have the Three Killings located here for the year, and will need to keep noise and disruption at a minimum. Try to avoid too much metal here this month, and also avoid fire colours and candles, as this can have a negative impact on the annual star.
Wealth, fame, romance, prestige and distinction can be expected, especially if you have an office or commonly used room located here for the month; even if you do not, you can still activate this area and reap the rewards. When this star is activated correctly, the #8 star can bring good fortune and exciting times for the month ahead. If you work with symbols, quartz crystals, crystal balls or hanging faceted crystals are very good to place here this month.
When activated, this influence can bring added responsibilities in your career, although please be aware that this could lead to added stress and workload, leading to stress resulting in high blood pressure or kidney problems. It is important that you maintain a good balance so that you are able to enjoy your rewards.
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, Tesla 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.
Couples with a bedroom in this location can also enjoy good relationships. There may also be a chance of producing intelligent children. 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 from nut allergies.
During period 9, this sector will be treated as the relationship and romance sector, and we can expect very strong Peach Blossom luck when activating this sector. This is a great area to place a Kwan Yin statue, a pair of rose quartz Mandarin ducks or a Three-legged Toad.
Try to place photos of loved ones and anything of importance from your significant other here this month as this can help activate Peach Blossom luck.
Do not place heavy metal or plants in this area of your home or office this month, as it will weaken the good earth. Please avoid any colours related to the metal and wood elements such as green, gold, silver, copper, bronze etc.
Good colours to use in this area this month are beige, brown, terracotta or yellow. Crystals are a very good choice to help activate the #8 star here.
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.
How to enhance the #8 star this month
– Hang a faceted crystal sphere in this area. Hang it above head height and twist now and again.
– Try to place a vision board here to help manifest your goals into reality.
– The energies of the monthly 8 can be activated by human activities. Use this room as frequently as possible, while keeping noise levels low unless you have received professional advice against it.
– Introduce some earth colours into this area to balance the energies, a quick and easy way is using bed covers, rugs, table covers, sofa throws etc.
– Place photos of loved ones here along with any treasured objects from your significant other
– If your bedroom is located here, you can also place an amethyst or any crystal items in the area of the bedroom to further strengthen the earth element of the benevolent 8.
– 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 Mandarin Ducks or red Kwan Yin statue 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.
Northeast
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 Monthly #6 star will fly into the northeast during July, along with the annual #4 star, making this an easy area to treat this month. To make the most of this influence, I would introduce earth cures, elements and colours in the northeast, as this will enhance the monthly star, and also weaken the annual star. This area can be beneficial if you have an office or study desk in the northeast this month.
Please avoid candles in the northeast this month if you have been using them for the annual star, as this will have a detrimental effect on the monthly #6.
The Ch’ien metal 6 is a conditional star and is auspicious in Period 9 (2024 – 2044). Technically, this star is losing its strength as an auspicious star during period 9, although we can still make very good use of this auspicious energy when it is activated with the right cures and enhancers. When activated correctly, the #6 star governs wealth, leadership, success and ambition and is a very good area for politicians, leaders and anyone involved in the jewellery business to spend time in this sector this month.
If you have a main door or important room fall into this area, this is very good news as human movement can help to activate and strengthen the beneficial energy that this star can bring to a home or workplace over the next few weeks.
To activate the #6 star during period 9, the best elements to introduce to this area are earth cures or colours such as beige, yellow, terracotta or brown. Please avoid placing metal, water, fire or wood cures and colours here this month, such as white, silver, gold, copper, red, orange, burgundy, purple, lilac, green, black, grey or blue, as this will weaken or destroy this auspicious influence. If you already have these colours and cannot easily remove them, try to balance them with similar amounts of earth colours.
This is a great area for crystals this month as this will help to activate the #6 star, bringing career and business opportunities. Please avoid candles and plants in this sector.
Although the #6 star can bring accomplishments and progress, having this star located in a bedroom can bring problems related to the throat, legs and/or breathing; this is especially so for the eldest male and males in general of the household. If you have a bedroom located here and cannot move out of this room, please introduce very subtle water cures along with light shades of blue, black, grey or charcoal colours to weaken the influence of the #6 star. Try to avoid bold water colours, as this will have an enhancing energy on the annual #4 star.
How to enhance the #6 star this month
– If you have a bedroom that falls into this area, introduce light shades of blue or black in your furnishing or décor to help with health this month. A blue painting (not a water scene) may also do.
– Avoid plants and flowers in this area this month
– Place a set of six coins in a row in this area; these are very traditional and powerful cures.
– Real quartz crystal is very good in this area for the month as are faceted crystal spheres.
– 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.
East
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 9 (2024 – 2044) it is considered an auspicious flying star.
The monthly #1 star will east, along with the annual #8 star and to make the most of this area, we will need to treat this area carefully, as these two elements are in conflict with each other. Please avoid introducing water or metal cures and colours in the east this month, as this will have a negative impact on the annual star, causing financial and relationship issues.
I would recommend leaving this area as it is during July, as it is better to enjoy steady enhancement from the #8 star than try to activate the #1 star with elements and colours, while causing problems related to the annual star. You can still store financial paperwork, cash etc here during July, as this will safely activate the monthly star. This is also a great area for a home office or area for study.
This area can significantly enhance your relationships when activated this month. To further enhance this aspect, introduce photos of loved ones if you don’t already have them in place for the year.
Activating this area of your home or office can open doors to new opportunities, financial gains, academic achievements, as well as romance and improved relationships, particularly due to the positive peach-blossom energy here.
Taking on building work or disturbances in this area may negatively affect the middle son’s wellbeing, potentially leading to issues with ears, kidneys, or blood-related problems, so please try to put this off until this month has passed. If there are poison arrows, such as lamp posts or large corners of a neighbouring house pointing toward this area, you should hang a flat ba gua mirror outside to deflect the negative energy. Generally, there’s no need to worry about the #1 star during Period 9, as it’s considered timely and auspicious, making this a fantastic choice for an important room that is used throughout the day.
If you have a hallway located in this area, try to keep this area bright and uncluttered as much as possible to activate the #1 star effectively.
How to enhance the #1 star this month
– This is a great area to work or study in during July.
– You can place photos of loved ones in this area to enhance Peach Blossom luck this month.
– Avoid candles or fire colours in this area during July.
– Exercise caution when extending or refurbishing this area, especially if the middle son is weak or in poor health.
– Add creative enhancements such as an abacus, calligraphy set, or artist tools like canvas and brushes in this area.
– Following this advice can help you make the most of this auspicious influence for a favourable month.
Southeast
Kun 2 Black (Ju Men) is an earth star and a yin Trigram. It affects the stomach, digestive, general sickness and problems with thought processes. During period 9, the #2 is considered auspicious and while we can see benefits from this star, we will need to apply care in the first few years of period 9.
The monthly #2 star will fly into the southeast palace along with the annual #9 star in July, and with these two elements in conflict with each other, the safest bet would be to take advantage of the annual #9 star and avoid activating the two with elements, cures and colours.
You can still help activate this star by spending time in this area and keeping windows and doors open as much as climate and security will allow, although I would avoid introducing too much metal and earth here, as this will drain energy from the annual star.
The #2 has gone from an inauspicious star to a lucky one, and while we can still activate this and get great results with health and wealth prospects, my opinion is that this energy must be handled with care in the early stages of period 9.
When activated correctly, this star can bring good health, relationship and wealth prospects this month, and if you follow the advice above, this can be a lovely area for a commonly used room. As the #2 star went from an inauspicious star to an auspicious star, I would keep this area tranquil for the first few years of period 9 and avoid using this room for any physical exercise.
Although the #2 has become auspicious in period 9, if you notice that any occupants of the home or workplace suffer from stomach pains or illness, it would be wise to introduce metal here to see if this relieves the problem; this is especially so if the Matriarch (eldest female) suffers this month.
How to enhance the #2 star this month
– Before 2028, enhance this area with a blend of metal and earth cures and colours.
– Avoid metal colours on their own in this sector.
– This is a good area to store paperwork and financial documents
– Avoid too much excessive physical movement in this area during the early stages of period 9.
– Place a Ba Gua mirror in this area outside this month if you have any poison arrows towards this sector.
When activated carefully, this is a lovely influence for the month, and if you follow all this advice here, your month will be just fine.
South
Tui 7 Red (Po Jun) robbery star is a metal star and a yin trigram, which is known as the mischievous Po Jun #7 argumentative red star. and in period 9 (2024 – 2044), this is an inauspicious star which can cause many issues related to robbery, deception, arguments and overall bad luck this month. 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 backstabbing.
In July 2026, we will have the monthly #7 star fly into the same palace as the annual #5 and Tai Sui in the south, making this a very troublesome area if it is activated. You will hopefully have your annual cures in place and be using a Tai Sui plaque to appease Tai Sui for the year, and metal cures for the annual #5 star; you can keep these in place during July, but please introduce some water colours here, as this will drain energy from the #5 star and also weaken the monthly #7 star helping keep this influence at bay.
This is not a good area for anyone with a creative career, such as an artist or writer and is also not a good place for children studying (especially the youngest daughter and females in general), although please try not to worry as a calm environment along with the right cures will help to control this energy and avoid It being activated.
If your entrance door is located in this sector or a window that is large enough for someone to enter through, please make sure that you check over the security here and make upgrades as necessary. It would be wise to check smoke alarms, CO2 sensors and other safety devices that are located in this sector, also. 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.
I will repeat that it is very important to make sure that security is up to date and working correctly in your home and workplace as this star can bring security related issues when activated. Make sure that windows and doors are locked securely when leaving the building, and do not leave anything valuable on display by your windowsills.
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 to use in this sector this month are blue, black and grey. Please avoid using any earth colours here, such as red, orange, burgundy, pink, lilac, beige, yellow, terracotta or brown and make sure that you avoid crystals and candles here. 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 who are close to you.
How to weaken the #7 star this month
– Introduce different shades of blue, grey, black or charcoal colours 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 in this area at all costs.
– Install or service/upgrade smoke alarms and security systems.
– Avoid crystal and earth colours in this area 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.
Southwest
Li 9 Purple (You Bi) Li 9 Purple is a fire star and a yin trigram and is the most auspicious governing flying star during period 9 (2024 – 2044), which became the primary wealth star for this period. When this area is activated this month, we can benefit from new opportunities in career, leading to higher roles and salary. This is a fantastic area to have an entrance door, office or bedroom located here.
The monthly #9 star will fly into the southwest palace in July, along with the annual #7, and we can expect a good energy here for the month, as the visiting #9 will deplete energy from the #7. I would advise introducing soft and subtle fire colours here for the month, but please avoid using candles here if you can, as this could create too much fire energy here. wood colours and plants will work well here during July.
Once this star has been activated, the influence of the #9 star can manifest fame, acknowledgement, growth and general improvements for all occupants of the home and workplace. This auspicious star also enhances wealth, career and general luck during period 9.
The #9 star affects the eyes, mental disturbance, blood disorders, stomach issues and can cause problems at work, although this is only usually an issue when poison arrows are located in this area. If you have any poison arrows located in this sector outside of the building such as a lamp post, cemetery, pylons or the corner of a building pointing towards yours, please place a Ba Gua wealth protection mirror to deflect the Sha Qi from the poison arrow.
If you are able to, try and make use of this auspicious influence by spending time in this area as much as possible as this can be activated by human movement. Good colour choices for this sector are red, orange, purple, burgundy, pink and lilac, although please try to avoid using very strong fire colours here during July. Please avoid large crystals (over 6 inches in size) and moving water in this sector as this will weaken or destroy the auspicious influence of the #9 star. Avoid colours like black, grey, blue, brown, yellow, terracotta and beige
This sector is a fantastic area to spend time studying and working; if this falls into a useable area such as a bedroom or living room, try to encourage children to spend time here when studying or doing homework as long as there is not too much excessive noise in the southwest.
This is a good area for romance and relationships and if you can, try to locate your bed in this sector as this will help promote a harmonious relationship throughout the month and can also help produce intelligent children. A good cure for the #9 star to enhance relationships this month is to place a red Kwan Yin statue here.
This #9 star in period 9 is a manifestation area, 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.
How to enhance the #9 star this month
– Fire and wood colours will work well in the southwest during July.
– avoid moving water in this area
– Symbolic objects such as a wu lou or six Chinese coins can be placed here this month.
This is a fantastic influence for the month and if you follow all this advice here your month will be just fine.
West
The 5 Yellow (Lian Zhen) star of tragedy is located in this area this month, and in period 9 (2024 – 2044), the #5 star will still remain a dangerous and inauspicious star which will require care and good quality metal cures to control this influence. When activated, this star will impact overall luck and bring a wide range of health issues, particularly those related to the mind, such as thought process disruptions, lack of energy, and procrastination. The #5 star does not have a trigram and no yin or yang energy so to speak, and will impact all occupants of a home or business when disturbed, making the malicious energy of this star particularly disruptive during period 9.
The monthly #5 star will fly into the west palace this month along with the annual #3 star and we will need to treat this area with metal cures and colours to help keep the #5 settled. If you have small crystals in place for the annual star, you can leave these in place, although it may be worth removing any large or strong earth colours and elements that can easily be moved.
The energy of the #5 star remains malicious and will benefit from good quality clean metal cures here this month to help control and settle the energy of this influence, otherwise, this can bring many problems. If you have a bedroom, office, living room, main door or other commonly used room located here for the month, please read this section carefully as there is much you can do to avoid activating this area, so please try to take this information with a pinch of salt.
The 5 Yellow, also called ‘Wu Huang or Lian Zhen’ in Chinese, is one of the nasty afflictions during period 9. 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. If you have a gas hob in this area, this will be fine to use this month, as long as you place metal cures in this sector.
To keep this energy settled, 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 and avoid this star from being activated.
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.
Please do not place red objects, bright lights, candles or red coloured furnishing in this sector this month as this is a quick way to activate the malevolent energy of the #5 star. 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.
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.
The best way to weaken this influence in your home or workplace throughout period 9 is to place a salt water cure whenever you have a #5 star fall into any sector. To make this cure, you will need a jar or pint glass, table or rock salt, 6 Chinese I-Ching coins that come from a good dynasty and a red rhombus knot, which has been added to the salt cure for period 9 to promote good fortune and endless wealth luck.
How to make a salt water cure during period 9
- Fill a glass jar (roughly pint size); a large jam jar or pint glass will do with table or rock salt to about three-quarters full.
- Fill the jar to the top with tap water. It would be a good idea to place a mat under the jar to protect furniture or flooring.
- Place six Chinese i-ching coins on top of the salt in a circle. Make sure the coins are Yang side up; this is the side with the four Chinese characters facing upwards. Don’t worry if the coins sink into the salt as you place the coins; just check they are still yang side up.
- Ideally, stick the red rhombus knot to the front of the glass with glue or blu tac. If this is not possible, place the tassel at the front, laying it in any direction as long as it is at the front of the cure.
- The jar will form crystals over time; this shows that it is working to absorb the negative energy.
- Make sure the water is always topped up throughout the month.
- Do not cover the top of the glass, and if you place it close to the ceiling, make sure you have at least 6 inches (15cm) between the top of the glass and the ceiling.
- The salt water cure should not be placed inside a cupboard as it needs to be in contact with the air (qi).
- Try not to touch or move the jar too much, as it stores a lot of negative energy.
How to weaken the #5 star this month
– 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 bedding 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.
Northwest
Sun 4 green Wen Qu romance and literacy star is a wood star. It affects the thighs, hip, buttock, bladder, and liver and can cause colds and flu and during period 9 (2024 – 2044), this is considered an inauspicious star which will require care and attention in order to avoid issues related to romance, friendship, career, general wellbeing and focus.
The monthly #4 star will fly in the northwest in July and will be in the same palace as the annual #2 star. We can easily treat this area by introducing earth cures for the month to help keep the monthly star calm. If you have a mixture of metal and earth in the northwest for the annual star, you can leave this area as it is during July, as the mix of metal and earth will balance well between the two stars.
The #4 star can bring romance and social problems this month when this star is activated and should be treated carefully with fire cures to weaken the inauspicious influence of this star. During period 8, this was an auspicious star, and we were enhancing this with wood and water cures, although please do not use these colours and elements during period 9, as this is a quick way to strengthen the malevolent influence of this star.
You may have read that the #4 star is still auspicious during period 9, and while this star still has some auspicious qualities and can be used to enhance relationship prospects, this requires expert knowledge from a Feng Shui master. Please avoid trying to activate the #4 star this month unless you have an extremely good understanding of the fixed stars in your home and the formations surrounding the area.
To weaken this area in July 2026, we can introduce earth cures and colours here this month such as beige, yellow, terracotta, brown etc, or if you prefer to work with shapes, this is a great area for square objects. Please do not introduce shades of green, black, blue or grey here as this will enhance the #4 star; if you already have these colours in place and cannot remove them, try to balance the energy by introducing the advised colours above.
If you have any poison arrows located outside of this sector, such as a lamp post, pylon, large corners of a building pointing towards you or general menacing look objects, it would be wise to place a Ba Gua wealth protection mirror here this month to deflect any negative energy that is coming towards your home.
If you have an entrance door located here, please be careful not to slam this door too often as this will likely activate the inauspicious #4 stars energy to bring love, relationship, social and career issues.
If you have an office or important room located here for the month, the ideal situation would be to relocate to a more auspicious sector, although if this is not possible, try to keep this area relaxed and introduce fire colours to control this energy.
Try to avoid too many family photos in this area unless you have the relevant cures in place as mentioned here, as this could lead to conflict with others. Small crystals can be placed here for the month, although please avoid having anything too large, such as an Amethyst geode statue. Please avoid too much metal on its own in this area, as this will aggravate the #4 stars influence.
How to weaken the #4 star this month
– introduce shades of brown, terracotta, beige, yellow etc in this sector for the month to weaken this star.
– Avoid displaying metal objects here especially large heavy ornaments.
– Avoid plants and flowers in this area.
– Introduce small crystals here to drain energy from the #4 star.
– Keep this area calm and quiet as much as possible
Please remember that this is only a passing influence and if you follow all this advice here, your month will be just fine.
Centre
The Chen 3 Jade Star (Lu Cun Xing) is associated with the wood element and is a yang Trigram. This star has an influence on the feet, lungs, liver, bladder, limbs, and can even provoke hysteria when activated. The #3 star affects the wellbeing of the eldest son and is generally considered an inauspicious during period 9 (2024 – 2044), requiring remedies or avoidance in this area for the month.
The monthly #3 star flies into the central palace in July, which can bring arguments and disputes when activated. With the annual #1 star also sitting in the centre for the year, we will need to carefully treat the #3 star this month, so that it doesn’t have a negative impact on the annual star.
If you have metal cures in place for the annual star, you can leave these in place, as this will balance well between the monthly and annual star, and you wouldn’t need to introduce anything for the month. If you don’t have any cures in place for the annual star, I would introduce small metal cures and colours here and leave them in place to benefit the annual star for the rest of the year. Traditionally, you would avoid treating the #3 star with metal, although the energy will also be beneficial to the annual star and will disperse well.
Please be aware that when this star is activated, it can bring theft, disputes, heated arguments, wealth loss, and legal issues, particularly if the main entrance or significant rooms are situated here during this month.
If your bedroom, office, living room, main door, or other commonly used space is located in this area and relocating is not an option this month, please pay close attention to this section. The good news is that now you are aware of the unfavourable nature of this star, there is a lot that can be done with ease to avoid this star becoming activated.
If your main entrance or a vital room, like an office, lounge, or study, falls in this area, take your time when signing documents throughout the month as mistakes can be easily made. The presence of the Chen 3 in Period 9 is indicative of potential conflicts, disagreements, betrayal, and in extreme cases, legal disputes, leading to financial loss. In either scenario, it results in wasted time, energy, and wealth, so be cautious, especially if your main door is located here. If possible, consider using an alternative entrance and exit. Hanging a Ba Gua wealth protection mirror will help to deflect any negative qi from the outside entering your home.
Avoid noisy renovations, redecoration, or ground disturbances, such as digging, foundation work, or loud maintenance, inside or outside your property or garden in this area for the month.
How to weaken the #3 star this month
– Place small metal cures and colours here; good choices are gold, silver, copper, bronz etc, although please avoid anything too large
– Avoid hanging wind chimes, especially those made of metal, as they can exacerbate the situation. However, if recommended by a professional Feng Shui practitioner or the main software’s flying star section, it’s acceptable.
– During hot summer months, ensure that noisy portable air con units are not positioned in this area.
– Enhance security measures for your home or business before the month begins, and check smoke alarms.
– Analyse all documents and paperwork thoroughly before signing, especially if the main entrance is located here.
– Aim to maintain a quiet environment here this month and avoid loud noises in this area.
– Take care, as there could be potential betrayal when this star is activated, which can be subtle and unexpected.
– Most importantly, refrain from disturbing the ground, both inside and outside.
– Remember, this influence is a passing influence for the month, and by following this advice, you can navigate through it successfully.
I hope you all enjoyed reading and have a great month.

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 July 2026:
From the 7th of July to the 6th of August 2026, it is the sixth month of the year of the Yang Fire Horse – Jia Wu (Yang Wood Horse) month, with the ruling energy of #3 in the central grid.
Unfortunately, there are no ideal locations for candles during July. If you have to burn candles for any particular reason, the southwest is the least harmful area.
The best locations for crystals in July are the north, northeast and northwest.
The best location for plants in July is the southwest.
North
Ken 8 White Zuo Fu is an earth star and a yang Trigram and is still considered an auspicious star during period 9 (2024 – 2044); although not as strong as it was in period 8 it is still very useable. This star affects the hands, fingers, pancreas and back. It also affects wealth, career, and luck, and because it is timely in period 9, you can look forward to solid wealth and recognition luck when you activate this sector.
In July 2026, we will have the monthly #8 fly into the north palace along with the annual #6 star, making this an easy area to treat this month. To make use of the auspicious energy visiting here, you can introduce earth cures, elements and colours here for July.
Please be aware that we have the Three Killings located here for the year, and will need to keep noise and disruption at a minimum. Try to avoid too much metal here this month, and also avoid fire colours and candles, as this can have a negative impact on the annual star.
Wealth, fame, romance, prestige and distinction can be expected, especially if you have an office or commonly used room located here for the month; even if you do not, you can still activate this area and reap the rewards. When this star is activated correctly, the #8 star can bring good fortune and exciting times for the month ahead. If you work with symbols, quartz crystals, crystal balls or hanging faceted crystals are very good to place here this month.
When activated, this influence can bring added responsibilities in your career, although please be aware that this could lead to added stress and workload, leading to stress resulting in high blood pressure or kidney problems. It is important that you maintain a good balance so that you are able to enjoy your rewards.
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, Tesla 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.
Couples with a bedroom in this location can also enjoy good relationships. There may also be a chance of producing intelligent children. 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 from nut allergies.
During period 9, this sector will be treated as the relationship and romance sector, and we can expect very strong Peach Blossom luck when activating this sector. This is a great area to place a Kwan Yin statue, a pair of rose quartz Mandarin ducks or a Three-legged Toad.
Try to place photos of loved ones and anything of importance from your significant other here this month as this can help activate Peach Blossom luck.
Do not place heavy metal or plants in this area of your home or office this month, as it will weaken the good earth. Please avoid any colours related to the metal and wood elements such as green, gold, silver, copper, bronze etc.
Good colours to use in this area this month are beige, brown, terracotta or yellow. Crystals are a very good choice to help activate the #8 star here.
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.
How to enhance the #8 star this month
– Hang a faceted crystal sphere in this area. Hang it above head height and twist now and again.
– Try to place a vision board here to help manifest your goals into reality.
– The energies of the monthly 8 can be activated by human activities. Use this room as frequently as possible, while keeping noise levels low unless you have received professional advice against it.
– Introduce some earth colours into this area to balance the energies, a quick and easy way is using bed covers, rugs, table covers, sofa throws etc.
– Place photos of loved ones here along with any treasured objects from your significant other
– If your bedroom is located here, you can also place an amethyst or any crystal items in the area of the bedroom to further strengthen the earth element of the benevolent 8.
– 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 Mandarin Ducks or red Kwan Yin statue 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.
Northeast
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 Monthly #6 star will fly into the northeast during July, along with the annual #4 star, making this an easy area to treat this month. To make the most of this influence, I would introduce earth cures, elements and colours in the northeast, as this will enhance the monthly star, and also weaken the annual star. This area can be beneficial if you have an office or study desk in the northeast this month.
Please avoid candles in the northeast this month if you have been using them for the annual star, as this will have a detrimental effect on the monthly #6.
The Ch’ien metal 6 is a conditional star and is auspicious in Period 9 (2024 – 2044). Technically, this star is losing its strength as an auspicious star during period 9, although we can still make very good use of this auspicious energy when it is activated with the right cures and enhancers. When activated correctly, the #6 star governs wealth, leadership, success and ambition and is a very good area for politicians, leaders and anyone involved in the jewellery business to spend time in this sector this month.
If you have a main door or important room fall into this area, this is very good news as human movement can help to activate and strengthen the beneficial energy that this star can bring to a home or workplace over the next few weeks.
To activate the #6 star during period 9, the best elements to introduce to this area are earth cures or colours such as beige, yellow, terracotta or brown. Please avoid placing metal, water, fire or wood cures and colours here this month, such as white, silver, gold, copper, red, orange, burgundy, purple, lilac, green, black, grey or blue, as this will weaken or destroy this auspicious influence. If you already have these colours and cannot easily remove them, try to balance them with similar amounts of earth colours.
This is a great area for crystals this month as this will help to activate the #6 star, bringing career and business opportunities. Please avoid candles and plants in this sector.
Although the #6 star can bring accomplishments and progress, having this star located in a bedroom can bring problems related to the throat, legs and/or breathing; this is especially so for the eldest male and males in general of the household. If you have a bedroom located here and cannot move out of this room, please introduce very subtle water cures along with light shades of blue, black, grey or charcoal colours to weaken the influence of the #6 star. Try to avoid bold water colours, as this will have an enhancing energy on the annual #4 star.
How to enhance the #6 star this month
– If you have a bedroom that falls into this area, introduce light shades of blue or black in your furnishing or décor to help with health this month. A blue painting (not a water scene) may also do.
– Avoid plants and flowers in this area this month
– Place a set of six coins in a row in this area; these are very traditional and powerful cures.
– Real quartz crystal is very good in this area for the month as are faceted crystal spheres.
– 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.
East
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 9 (2024 – 2044) it is considered an auspicious flying star.
The monthly #1 star will east, along with the annual #8 star and to make the most of this area, we will need to treat this area carefully, as these two elements are in conflict with each other. Please avoid introducing water or metal cures and colours in the east this month, as this will have a negative impact on the annual star, causing financial and relationship issues.
I would recommend leaving this area as it is during July, as it is better to enjoy steady enhancement from the #8 star than try to activate the #1 star with elements and colours, while causing problems related to the annual star. You can still store financial paperwork, cash etc here during July, as this will safely activate the monthly star. This is also a great area for a home office or area for study.
This area can significantly enhance your relationships when activated this month. To further enhance this aspect, introduce photos of loved ones if you don’t already have them in place for the year.
Activating this area of your home or office can open doors to new opportunities, financial gains, academic achievements, as well as romance and improved relationships, particularly due to the positive peach-blossom energy here.
Taking on building work or disturbances in this area may negatively affect the middle son’s wellbeing, potentially leading to issues with ears, kidneys, or blood-related problems, so please try to put this off until this month has passed. If there are poison arrows, such as lamp posts or large corners of a neighbouring house pointing toward this area, you should hang a flat ba gua mirror outside to deflect the negative energy. Generally, there’s no need to worry about the #1 star during Period 9, as it’s considered timely and auspicious, making this a fantastic choice for an important room that is used throughout the day.
If you have a hallway located in this area, try to keep this area bright and uncluttered as much as possible to activate the #1 star effectively.
How to enhance the #1 star this month
– This is a great area to work or study in during July.
– You can place photos of loved ones in this area to enhance Peach Blossom luck this month.
– Avoid candles or fire colours in this area during July.
– Exercise caution when extending or refurbishing this area, especially if the middle son is weak or in poor health.
– Add creative enhancements such as an abacus, calligraphy set, or artist tools like canvas and brushes in this area.
– Following this advice can help you make the most of this auspicious influence for a favourable month.
Southeast
Kun 2 Black (Ju Men) is an earth star and a yin Trigram. It affects the stomach, digestive, general sickness and problems with thought processes. During period 9, the #2 is considered auspicious and while we can see benefits from this star, we will need to apply care in the first few years of period 9.
The monthly #2 star will fly into the southeast palace along with the annual #9 star in July, and with these two elements in conflict with each other, the safest bet would be to take advantage of the annual #9 star and avoid activating the two with elements, cures and colours.
You can still help activate this star by spending time in this area and keeping windows and doors open as much as climate and security will allow, although I would avoid introducing too much metal and earth here, as this will drain energy from the annual star.
The #2 has gone from an inauspicious star to a lucky one, and while we can still activate this and get great results with health and wealth prospects, my opinion is that this energy must be handled with care in the early stages of period 9.
When activated correctly, this star can bring good health, relationship and wealth prospects this month, and if you follow the advice above, this can be a lovely area for a commonly used room. As the #2 star went from an inauspicious star to an auspicious star, I would keep this area tranquil for the first few years of period 9 and avoid using this room for any physical exercise.
Although the #2 has become auspicious in period 9, if you notice that any occupants of the home or workplace suffer from stomach pains or illness, it would be wise to introduce metal here to see if this relieves the problem; this is especially so if the Matriarch (eldest female) suffers this month.
How to enhance the #2 star this month
– Before 2028, enhance this area with a blend of metal and earth cures and colours.
– Avoid metal colours on their own in this sector.
– This is a good area to store paperwork and financial documents
– Avoid too much excessive physical movement in this area during the early stages of period 9.
– Place a Ba Gua mirror in this area outside this month if you have any poison arrows towards this sector.
When activated carefully, this is a lovely influence for the month, and if you follow all this advice here, your month will be just fine.
South
Tui 7 Red (Po Jun) robbery star is a metal star and a yin trigram, which is known as the mischievous Po Jun #7 argumentative red star. and in period 9 (2024 – 2044), this is an inauspicious star which can cause many issues related to robbery, deception, arguments and overall bad luck this month. 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 backstabbing.
In July 2026, we will have the monthly #7 star fly into the same palace as the annual #5 and Tai Sui in the south, making this a very troublesome area if it is activated. You will hopefully have your annual cures in place and be using a Tai Sui plaque to appease Tai Sui for the year, and metal cures for the annual #5 star; you can keep these in place during July, but please introduce some water colours here, as this will drain energy from the #5 star and also weaken the monthly #7 star helping keep this influence at bay.
This is not a good area for anyone with a creative career, such as an artist or writer and is also not a good place for children studying (especially the youngest daughter and females in general), although please try not to worry as a calm environment along with the right cures will help to control this energy and avoid It being activated.
If your entrance door is located in this sector or a window that is large enough for someone to enter through, please make sure that you check over the security here and make upgrades as necessary. It would be wise to check smoke alarms, CO2 sensors and other safety devices that are located in this sector, also. 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.
I will repeat that it is very important to make sure that security is up to date and working correctly in your home and workplace as this star can bring security related issues when activated. Make sure that windows and doors are locked securely when leaving the building, and do not leave anything valuable on display by your windowsills.
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 to use in this sector this month are blue, black and grey. Please avoid using any earth colours here, such as red, orange, burgundy, pink, lilac, beige, yellow, terracotta or brown and make sure that you avoid crystals and candles here. 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 who are close to you.
How to weaken the #7 star this month
– Introduce different shades of blue, grey, black or charcoal colours 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 in this area at all costs.
– Install or service/upgrade smoke alarms and security systems.
– Avoid crystal and earth colours in this area 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.
Southwest
Li 9 Purple (You Bi) Li 9 Purple is a fire star and a yin trigram and is the most auspicious governing flying star during period 9 (2024 – 2044), which became the primary wealth star for this period. When this area is activated this month, we can benefit from new opportunities in career, leading to higher roles and salary. This is a fantastic area to have an entrance door, office or bedroom located here.
The monthly #9 star will fly into the southwest palace in July, along with the annual #7, and we can expect a good energy here for the month, as the visiting #9 will deplete energy from the #7. I would advise introducing soft and subtle fire colours here for the month, but please avoid using candles here if you can, as this could create too much fire energy here. wood colours and plants will work well here during July.
Once this star has been activated, the influence of the #9 star can manifest fame, acknowledgement, growth and general improvements for all occupants of the home and workplace. This auspicious star also enhances wealth, career and general luck during period 9.
The #9 star affects the eyes, mental disturbance, blood disorders, stomach issues and can cause problems at work, although this is only usually an issue when poison arrows are located in this area. If you have any poison arrows located in this sector outside of the building such as a lamp post, cemetery, pylons or the corner of a building pointing towards yours, please place a Ba Gua wealth protection mirror to deflect the Sha Qi from the poison arrow.
If you are able to, try and make use of this auspicious influence by spending time in this area as much as possible as this can be activated by human movement. Good colour choices for this sector are red, orange, purple, burgundy, pink and lilac, although please try to avoid using very strong fire colours here during July. Please avoid large crystals (over 6 inches in size) and moving water in this sector as this will weaken or destroy the auspicious influence of the #9 star. Avoid colours like black, grey, blue, brown, yellow, terracotta and beige
This sector is a fantastic area to spend time studying and working; if this falls into a useable area such as a bedroom or living room, try to encourage children to spend time here when studying or doing homework as long as there is not too much excessive noise in the southwest.
This is a good area for romance and relationships and if you can, try to locate your bed in this sector as this will help promote a harmonious relationship throughout the month and can also help produce intelligent children. A good cure for the #9 star to enhance relationships this month is to place a red Kwan Yin statue here.
This #9 star in period 9 is a manifestation area, 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.
How to enhance the #9 star this month
– Fire and wood colours will work well in the southwest during July.
– avoid moving water in this area
– Symbolic objects such as a wu lou or six Chinese coins can be placed here this month.
This is a fantastic influence for the month and if you follow all this advice here your month will be just fine.
West
The 5 Yellow (Lian Zhen) star of tragedy is located in this area this month, and in period 9 (2024 – 2044), the #5 star will still remain a dangerous and inauspicious star which will require care and good quality metal cures to control this influence. When activated, this star will impact overall luck and bring a wide range of health issues, particularly those related to the mind, such as thought process disruptions, lack of energy, and procrastination. The #5 star does not have a trigram and no yin or yang energy so to speak, and will impact all occupants of a home or business when disturbed, making the malicious energy of this star particularly disruptive during period 9.
The monthly #5 star will fly into the west palace this month along with the annual #3 star and we will need to treat this area with metal cures and colours to help keep the #5 settled. If you have small crystals in place for the annual star, you can leave these in place, although it may be worth removing any large or strong earth colours and elements that can easily be moved.
The energy of the #5 star remains malicious and will benefit from good quality clean metal cures here this month to help control and settle the energy of this influence, otherwise, this can bring many problems. If you have a bedroom, office, living room, main door or other commonly used room located here for the month, please read this section carefully as there is much you can do to avoid activating this area, so please try to take this information with a pinch of salt.
The 5 Yellow, also called ‘Wu Huang or Lian Zhen’ in Chinese, is one of the nasty afflictions during period 9. 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. If you have a gas hob in this area, this will be fine to use this month, as long as you place metal cures in this sector.
To keep this energy settled, 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 and avoid this star from being activated.
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.
Please do not place red objects, bright lights, candles or red coloured furnishing in this sector this month as this is a quick way to activate the malevolent energy of the #5 star. 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.
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.
The best way to weaken this influence in your home or workplace throughout period 9 is to place a salt water cure whenever you have a #5 star fall into any sector. To make this cure, you will need a jar or pint glass, table or rock salt, 6 Chinese I-Ching coins that come from a good dynasty and a red rhombus knot, which has been added to the salt cure for period 9 to promote good fortune and endless wealth luck.
How to make a salt water cure during period 9
- Fill a glass jar (roughly pint size); a large jam jar or pint glass will do with table or rock salt to about three-quarters full.
- Fill the jar to the top with tap water. It would be a good idea to place a mat under the jar to protect furniture or flooring.
- Place six Chinese i-ching coins on top of the salt in a circle. Make sure the coins are Yang side up; this is the side with the four Chinese characters facing upwards. Don’t worry if the coins sink into the salt as you place the coins; just check they are still yang side up.
- Ideally, stick the red rhombus knot to the front of the glass with glue or blu tac. If this is not possible, place the tassel at the front, laying it in any direction as long as it is at the front of the cure.
- The jar will form crystals over time; this shows that it is working to absorb the negative energy.
- Make sure the water is always topped up throughout the month.
- Do not cover the top of the glass, and if you place it close to the ceiling, make sure you have at least 6 inches (15cm) between the top of the glass and the ceiling.
- The salt water cure should not be placed inside a cupboard as it needs to be in contact with the air (qi).
- Try not to touch or move the jar too much, as it stores a lot of negative energy.
How to weaken the #5 star this month
– 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 bedding 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.
Northwest
Sun 4 green Wen Qu romance and literacy star is a wood star. It affects the thighs, hip, buttock, bladder, and liver and can cause colds and flu and during period 9 (2024 – 2044), this is considered an inauspicious star which will require care and attention in order to avoid issues related to romance, friendship, career, general wellbeing and focus.
The monthly #4 star will fly in the northwest in July and will be in the same palace as the annual #2 star. We can easily treat this area by introducing earth cures for the month to help keep the monthly star calm. If you have a mixture of metal and earth in the northwest for the annual star, you can leave this area as it is during July, as the mix of metal and earth will balance well between the two stars.
The #4 star can bring romance and social problems this month when this star is activated and should be treated carefully with fire cures to weaken the inauspicious influence of this star. During period 8, this was an auspicious star, and we were enhancing this with wood and water cures, although please do not use these colours and elements during period 9, as this is a quick way to strengthen the malevolent influence of this star.
You may have read that the #4 star is still auspicious during period 9, and while this star still has some auspicious qualities and can be used to enhance relationship prospects, this requires expert knowledge from a Feng Shui master. Please avoid trying to activate the #4 star this month unless you have an extremely good understanding of the fixed stars in your home and the formations surrounding the area.
To weaken this area in July 2026, we can introduce earth cures and colours here this month such as beige, yellow, terracotta, brown etc, or if you prefer to work with shapes, this is a great area for square objects. Please do not introduce shades of green, black, blue or grey here as this will enhance the #4 star; if you already have these colours in place and cannot remove them, try to balance the energy by introducing the advised colours above.
If you have any poison arrows located outside of this sector, such as a lamp post, pylon, large corners of a building pointing towards you or general menacing look objects, it would be wise to place a Ba Gua wealth protection mirror here this month to deflect any negative energy that is coming towards your home.
If you have an entrance door located here, please be careful not to slam this door too often as this will likely activate the inauspicious #4 stars energy to bring love, relationship, social and career issues.
If you have an office or important room located here for the month, the ideal situation would be to relocate to a more auspicious sector, although if this is not possible, try to keep this area relaxed and introduce fire colours to control this energy.
Try to avoid too many family photos in this area unless you have the relevant cures in place as mentioned here, as this could lead to conflict with others. Small crystals can be placed here for the month, although please avoid having anything too large, such as an Amethyst geode statue. Please avoid too much metal on its own in this area, as this will aggravate the #4 stars influence.
How to weaken the #4 star this month
– introduce shades of brown, terracotta, beige, yellow etc in this sector for the month to weaken this star.
– Avoid displaying metal objects here especially large heavy ornaments.
– Avoid plants and flowers in this area.
– Introduce small crystals here to drain energy from the #4 star.
– Keep this area calm and quiet as much as possible
Please remember that this is only a passing influence and if you follow all this advice here, your month will be just fine.
Centre
The Chen 3 Jade Star (Lu Cun Xing) is associated with the wood element and is a yang Trigram. This star has an influence on the feet, lungs, liver, bladder, limbs, and can even provoke hysteria when activated. The #3 star affects the wellbeing of the eldest son and is generally considered an inauspicious during period 9 (2024 – 2044), requiring remedies or avoidance in this area for the month.
The monthly #3 star flies into the central palace in July, which can bring arguments and disputes when activated. With the annual #1 star also sitting in the centre for the year, we will need to carefully treat the #3 star this month, so that it doesn’t have a negative impact on the annual star.
If you have metal cures in place for the annual star, you can leave these in place, as this will balance well between the monthly and annual star, and you wouldn’t need to introduce anything for the month. If you don’t have any cures in place for the annual star, I would introduce small metal cures and colours here and leave them in place to benefit the annual star for the rest of the year. Traditionally, you would avoid treating the #3 star with metal, although the energy will also be beneficial to the annual star and will disperse well.
Please be aware that when this star is activated, it can bring theft, disputes, heated arguments, wealth loss, and legal issues, particularly if the main entrance or significant rooms are situated here during this month.
If your bedroom, office, living room, main door, or other commonly used space is located in this area and relocating is not an option this month, please pay close attention to this section. The good news is that now you are aware of the unfavourable nature of this star, there is a lot that can be done with ease to avoid this star becoming activated.
If your main entrance or a vital room, like an office, lounge, or study, falls in this area, take your time when signing documents throughout the month as mistakes can be easily made. The presence of the Chen 3 in Period 9 is indicative of potential conflicts, disagreements, betrayal, and in extreme cases, legal disputes, leading to financial loss. In either scenario, it results in wasted time, energy, and wealth, so be cautious, especially if your main door is located here. If possible, consider using an alternative entrance and exit. Hanging a Ba Gua wealth protection mirror will help to deflect any negative qi from the outside entering your home.
Avoid noisy renovations, redecoration, or ground disturbances, such as digging, foundation work, or loud maintenance, inside or outside your property or garden in this area for the month.
How to weaken the #3 star this month
– Place small metal cures and colours here; good choices are gold, silver, copper, bronz etc, although please avoid anything too large
– Avoid hanging wind chimes, especially those made of metal, as they can exacerbate the situation. However, if recommended by a professional Feng Shui practitioner or the main software’s flying star section, it’s acceptable.
– During hot summer months, ensure that noisy portable air con units are not positioned in this area.
– Enhance security measures for your home or business before the month begins, and check smoke alarms.
– Analyse all documents and paperwork thoroughly before signing, especially if the main entrance is located here.
– Aim to maintain a quiet environment here this month and avoid loud noises in this area.
– Take care, as there could be potential betrayal when this star is activated, which can be subtle and unexpected.
– Most importantly, refrain from disturbing the ground, both inside and outside.
– Remember, this influence is a passing influence for the month, and by following this advice, you can navigate through it successfully.
I hope you all enjoyed reading and have a great month.

Can I sleep in the SE sector this month? The #2 star is there so I am not sure.
Hi Jill,
That will be absolutely fine to sleep in the southeast during July. The #2 has an auspicious influnce in period 9, although even if it was inauspicious, bedrooms mainly carry yin energy and wouldn’t activate an inauspicious star.
Kind regards,
Daniel
Hello,
For the west this month you suggest removing fire elements.. does this mean I should remove my red Pi Yao this month or leave in place?
Thank you
Hi Matthew,
You can leave the red Pi Yao in place for the month. If you have any large fire colours that can easily be moved to another sector such as a print on the wall, I would try to move these, but if you have anything that is large and not easily moved like curtains or furniture, you can leave these in place and introduce some metal elements to balance this.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Daniel
Hi,
I have to change my flat entrance door for a more secure one and it is located in the West. It should be ready in a month, which will still be in July. But I see that it is not recommended to do any type of noisy work during this month in the West. I have also read in the Annual Flying Stars that August and September will not be good months either. The problem is, for safety reasons, I would prefer to have this done as soon as possible. It is only one day work. If I pick up better days in the almanach, could it be manageable?
Hi France,
The next three months will all have inauspicious stars and while it would be best to wait until October, you also need to consider practicality.
As this is not a huge job, I would try and choose an auspicious day on the Almanac as you suggested, and make sure that you have the salt cure in place for the month.
After the work is finished, try to open some doors and windows around this area to promote fresh Qi entering the home.
I hope this helps 🙂
Kind regards,
Daniel
Thank you Daniel, it does help a lot!
Best,
France
