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.
We are thrilled to announce that the 2026 Feng Shui Cures and Enhancers are now available on the website. We will be finalising the 2026 Articles over the next week or two, and will announce on here once they are live.
Xuan Kong Flying Stars November 2025:
From the 7th of November to the 6th of December 2025, it is the tenth month of the year of the Yin Wood Snake – Ding hai (Yin Fire Pig) month, with the ruling energy of #2 in the central grid.
The best locations for candles in November are in the east, southwest, northwest and west.
The best locations for crystals in November are in the south, southwest, northwest and west.
The best locations for plants in November are in the east and north.
Please note that the monthly flying stars have aligned with the annual stars in November 2025, and we will have double the energy in each compass sector this month.
I have added the annual analysis below, as this will be relevant to the annual and monthly stars, and if you already have your annual stars in place, you can leave each sector as it is.
Kan 1 White In 2025, Kan trigram is in the southeast

Kan #1 is a water element. In the physical body, it is the ear. The internal organ is the kidneys, and it is also blood. It also affects career and luck.
In period 9, the #1 star has become the secondary wealth star, and when activated correctly, this can bring success in one’s career and finances.
The #1 star during period 9 Feng Shui
Auspicious or inauspicious – Auspicious
Influence, when activated – Enhances career, wealth, and overall luck
Enhance with – water and metal cures
Kan water #1 (Tang Lang) has flown into the southeast palace for 2025 along with Tai Sui and while we will have an auspicious influence here, we will also need to keep this area settled as too much noise and interaction can disturb Tai sui, bringing problems.
The inherent energy of the southeast is the wood element, which can weaken the metal energy of the #1 star, and we will need to enhance this area with metal and water during 2025 to ensure that career and finance prospects are as auspicious as possible.
Colour choices for the southeast in 2025 – white, silver, gold, copper, bronze, black, grey, blue
Colours to avoid in the southeast in 2025 – green, brown, terracotta, beige, yellow, red, orange, purple, pink, burgundy, lilac
Elements to use in the southeast in 2025 – Metal and water
Elements to avoid in the southeast in 2025 – Wood, fire and earth
We have Tai Sui located in the southeast palace in 2025, and it is crucial to keep this area calm and quiet in order to avoid angering Tai Sui this year. Please make sure that you avoid any major ground-breaking and renovation work in the southeast, as this is a quick way to bring issues into your home or workplace due to activating the wrath of Tai Sui. A very powerful and traditional cure for the southeast this year is to place an Wu Sui Tai Sui gold plated plaque in this sector to appease Tai Sui for the year. The metal from the plaque will also help to enhance the #1 star this year.
If you have a main door in the southeast of your home or workplace this year, please avoid slamming the door, as this is one of the easiest ways to activate the wrath of Tai Sui. Frequent loud noises, such as banging doors and practising musical instruments regularly, will likely bring issues, so please try to avoid this as much as possible.
When activated or disturbed, Tai Sui can have a very negative impact on all occupants of the home, although those born under the animal of the Snake, Tiger, Pig and Monkey will be particularly susceptible to the effects of Tai Sui this year. However, this is equally important for the rest of the Chinese zodiac animals, especially the Snake, as they are the Ben Ming Nian animal in 2025.

Another crucial cure to enhance the annual #1 star in the southeast is to a place Six I-Ching coins tied in a row to make sure that wealth, relationships, career, studies and overall luck are as strong as they can be; this is especially important if you have an office, bedroom or other room that is used for long periods in the southeast in 2025. We include both the Wu Sui Tai Sui plaque and Six coins tied in a row in all of our 2025 annual and deluxe Cures and Enhancers kits, as they are vital to enhance the #1 star this year.

Traditionally, to enhance the #1 star, you would either use water cures to enhance the energy of the #1 star or use metal to feed the inherent energy and strengthen the star. When enhanced, this can bring very strong luck in new opportunities for the occupants, creating results in financial investments and academic achievements, and enhancing romance and relationships.
If there are any poison arrows directed at your home from the outside, such as from a busy road or power lines, please place a Ba Gua mirror on the exterior of your building where the arrow is pointing towards the home. The safest option when using Ba Gua mirrors is to place a Ba Gua wealth protection mirror. Avoid using convex or concave mirrors unless you have been recommended one by a Feng Shui professional, as they sometimes do more harm than good when not used in the correct circumstances.
If you cannot afford the Wu Sui Tai Sui gold plated plaque or Six I-Ching coins tied in a row or simply do not like using traditional enhancers in your home or workplace, you can place metal decorations such as ornaments, or even objects from around the home such as weight lifting plates, although please make sure that they are not tarnished or rusted as this could have a negative impact. When introducing the water element in the southeast this year, it is best to stick to colours, although if you have a good understanding of using water in Feng Shui, please make sure that the water is kept extremely clean at all times. I don’t like to advise on using physical water in a home, as there are a lot of variables that need to be considered before placing.
When introducing colours here for the year, try to select some coloured objects that symbolise water or metal such as grey, black, blue, white, silver, gold, copper, or bronze by introducing cushions, blankets, photos etc. If your bedroom or office falls into the southeast this year, a very powerful cure is to place a brass Wu Lou talisman here to protect and enhance wealth.
Please avoid introducing any wood, earth or fire colours such as green, brown, terracotta, beige, yellow, red, orange, purple, pink, burgundy, lilac as these will drain energy from the #1 star this year, causing a loss of wealth. If you already have these colours in the southeast and they cannot be easily removed, you can leave them in place but please try to balance them with water and metal colours. If you had a beige carpet, you can introduce a red or white rug to balance this.
When selecting furniture to place in the southeast in 2025, try to place anything with a round or rippled shape as these shapes will represent water and metal energy. Metal furniture such as a polished metal round coffee table will be great to place in the southeast this year, although it is not necessary to purchase this as it may not work here in future years, and isn’t usually something that you can move around to follow the #1 star; try to make use of something you already have around the home and keep a track on any changes that you notice.
Businesses that deal with investments, trading, jewellery, or online retailing can expect better times if they have an office or main door in the southeast this year.
If you have an office in the southeast this year, try to keep the land outside of the property open and clear, and keep windows open when possible, as this will allow fresh qi to flow around this area.
Kun 2 Black (Ju Men) has flown into the central palace in 2025

The #2 star has taken on an auspicious influence during period 9 and has taken on a timely role. There will be many websites and masters who say that this star can be activated straight away with fire cures, bringing lots of luck to the occupants. The correct way to activate the #2 star in the early stages of period 9 will be to introduce a good balance of metal and earth and this will be the case for 2025.
The #2 star during period 9 Feng Shui
Auspicious or inauspicious – Auspicious, although this will need to be enhanced carefully for the first few years of period 9
Influence when activated – Enhances health, luck, relationships and wealth
Enhance with –earth cures combined with metal
The #2 star has flown into the central palace for 2025 and when activated correctly, this auspicious energy can flow throughout the whole building, bring a lovely energy to all occupants of the home. As the #2 star has only just become timely, it is crucial that this is activated carefully, and in 2025, we will be doing this by introducing a Long Feng Cheng Xiang – Dragon and Phoenix coin Talisman in the central palace. When we place the golden Dragon and Phoenix coin in the central palace, combined with the faceted crystal on top, this will help spread auspicious energy to all of the other compass sectors, making this an extremely powerful and essential cure to place during the year of the Snake.

When activating the centre with elements and colours this year, the safest and most effective option is to introduce a balanced mix of earth and metal cures to ensure that the inherent energy is kept stable without bringing too much energy to this star. Whatever you do, please do not introduce new fire colours to the centre during 2025 as this would bring too much energy. If you already have fire colours in the centre and can’t remove them easily, please introduce earth and metal here to balance the energy.
When the #2 star is activated with the right elements this year, this influence can bring enhancements in luck, health, relationships and wealth prospects. Please avoid having too many wood, water or fire elements in the centre during 2025, as this is likely to bring issues. If you had blue painted walls as an example, the best option would be to introduce a large beige tone painting with a silver or golden frame in the centre during the Snake year.
Colour choices for the centre in 2025 – A mix of white, silver, gold, copper, bronze along with brown, terracotta, beige and yellow
Colours to avoid in the centre in 2025 – green, red, orange, purple, pink, burgundy, lilac, black, grey, blue
Elements to use in the centre in 2025 – Metal combined with earth
Elements to avoid in the centre in 2025 – Wood, fire and water
If you do not wish to use traditional cures and enhancers in the central palace this year, you can place good quality metal objects and colours along with crystals or earth colours that are smooth or square in shape in equal quantities. If you had a 2-inch crystal to place in the centre this year, try to place it next to a metal or metal colour decoration around the same size. A good solution would be to place a metal bowl with crystals placed inside.
Please remember that although the #2 star has become timely in period 9 (2024 – 2044), we still need to treat this star with care for the next few years before we can use it to its full potential. A good balance of metal along with earth will help to activate the #2 star, without causing issues.

Chen 3 Jade, the sound of Lu Chun #3 Jade can be heard in the northwest in 2025

In 2025, the annual #3 star has flown into the northwest palace along with Sui Po, and we will need to treat this area carefully as having an inauspicious star and annual affliction in the same palace can bring heightened problems when this becomes activated.
When this area becomes activated in 2025 from noise and disturbance, this can bring problems for all occupants of the home, especially the father of the household and males in general. The #3 star can bring issues in the way of stress, legal issues, disputes, loss of wealth, theft and arguments. When using the correct cures and elements in the northwest in 2025, we can keep this area settled and avoid conflict.
The #3 star during period 9 Feng Shui
Auspicious or inauspicious – Inauspicious
Influence when activated – stress, legal issues, disputes, loss of wealth, theft and arguments
Weaken with –Fire and earth cures.
To control and settle the energy of the #3 star during 2025, the best element to introduce is fire, as this will weaken the energy of the wood element. Please do not introduce water in the northwest this year, as this will feed the energy of the #3 and quickly manifest problems related to the #3 star.

You may have come across websites saying that the #3 star will be usable during period 9 and while there is some truth to this in special circumstances, this is extremely hard to get right and not something that I will be advising to anyone over the next nineteen years; this is the same as how we have always avoided activating the #2 star during period 8.
To prevent activating the annual #3 star, it’s best to keep this area calm and undisturbed. While it may be challenging to completely avoid the northwest sector this year, you can greatly reduce potential issues by keeping noise levels low and introducing fire and earth elements and colours. With these adjustments, significant problems in this area should be unlikely.
Colour choices for the northwest in 2025 –red, orange, purple, burgundy, pink, lilac, brown, terracotta, yellow, beige
Colours to avoid in the northwest in 2025 – green, white, silver, gold, copper, bronze, black, grey, blue
Elements to use in the northwest in 2025 – fire and earth
Elements to avoid in the northwest in 2025 – wood, metal and water
To avoid the effects of the annual #3 star this year by using elements and colours, introduce fire and earth elements, such as crystals and candles, to help weaken or drain the wood star’s influence. Items like lamps, candles, and warm lighting are particularly effective in the northwest palace this year, as their fire energy will help reduce the annual star’s strength.
It is wise to avoid any ground-breaking or renovation in the northwest during 2025; small tasks such as digging to plant in the garden won’t be an issue, although something like having the driveway dug up or removing internal walls or similar is likely to disturb Sui Po and also active the negative energy of the annual #3 star. If this work can’t be avoided, try to do this when we have an auspicious monthly star fly in for the month.
In 2025, avoid placing wood, water, or metal cures in the northwest. Water elements will amplify the inauspicious annual star, while metal elements will clash with and attempt to destroy the star’s energy, creating an overly intense conflict that could lead to more severe issues.
Sun 4 Green has flown into the west of the Lo Shu square in 2025

In period 9, the #4 star has become inauspicious and when activated, this star can cause issues related to romance, friendship, career, general wellbeing and focus. In 2025, we will be weakening the #4 star to make sure that this untimely star is kept settled and does not bring problems into our home and workplace.
The #4 star during period 9 Feng Shui
Auspicious or inauspicious – Inauspicious
Influence when activated – Issues related to romance, friendship, career, general well-being and focus
Weaken with –Fire and earth cures.
In 2025, the inauspicious #4 annual star, which can bring conflict and disharmony, has flown into the West Palace for the year ahead. To avoid activating the #4 star this year, it is vital to keep this area calm, balanced, and free from unnecessary activity or disturbances.
When the #4 star is activated during Period 9, it can lead to relationship and career challenges, as well as cause affairs and breakups in romantic relationships. If you have a bedroom or other important room is located in the west this year, introduce fire or earth colours here to help weaken this influence. Good cures for this area are the same cures that you will be using to treat the #3 star such as a red Buddha or candles.
When the west is activated in 2025, this will cause issues for all occupants for the home and business, although this is especially important for the youngest daughter and females in general.
Colour choices for the west in 2025 – Red, orange, purple, burgundy, lilac, pink, brown, terracotta, beige, yellow
Colours to avoid in the west in 2025 – white, silver, gold, copper, bronze, all shades of green, blue, black, grey
Elements to use in the west in 2025 – Fire and earth
Elements to avoid in the west in 2025 –Wood, metal and water
In 2025, avoid introducing any wood, metal, or water colours in the west of your home or workplace, as these will aggravate the wood element of the annual #4 star. The best colours for the west this year are red, orange, purple, burgundy, lilac, pink, brown, terracotta, beige, and yellow. Avoid introducing white, silver, gold, copper, bronze, and all shades of green, blue, black, and grey. If you already have these colours in the west and cannot remove them, balance the energies by adding fire and earth colours and cures to balance the energy.

The 5 Yellow In 2025 – The annual 5 Yellow Lian Zhen star of tragedy is located in the northeast

For 2025, the annual #5 tragedy star will fly into the northeast palace of every home and business this year. When the #5 star is activated, this star can bring illness, accidents, fatalities or bankruptcy to all occupants. The northeast is an extremely important area to keep calm and appeased during 2025, and this is especially important for the youngest son and males in general. Please do not panic if you have an important room in the northeast this year as there is a great deal that can be done to keep this influence calm and undisturbed.
The #5 star during period 9 Feng Shui
Auspicious or inauspicious – Inauspicious
Influence when activated – Issues related to illness, accidents, fatalities or bankruptcy
Weaken with –Metal cures.

Colour choices for the northeast in 2025 – white, silver, gold, copper, bronze, blue
Colours to avoid in the northeast in 2025 – Red, orange, purple, burgundy, pink, lilac, brown, terracotta, beige, yellow, green
Elements to use in the northeast in 2025 – Metal and water
Elements to avoid in the northeast in 2025 – Wood, fire and earth
If your bedroom, office, living room, kitchen, or other frequently used room is located in the northeast during 2025, the quickest solution would be to leave the room empty. However, for most people, this isn’t practical. Instead, try to keep noise levels to a minimum and place high-quality metal cures in this area throughout the year to help mitigate the negative influences.
If you can, avoid any renovation or ground-breaking; this includes building an extension, knocking through an internal wall, laying a patio, replacing a bathroom suite and all other similar activities. My general rule of thumb when carrying out small tasks in a little area, such as hammering a nail to hang a picture or drilling a hole, is to minimise as much noise as you can; if you can, use a manual hand drill; it is better to be safe than sorry.
Noise from a Tv or radio is not usually loud enough to cause issues as long as they are kept at normal levels where you can easily talk over each other.

If you’d prefer not to use traditional Feng Shui cures in your home or workplace, you can place good-quality, rust-free heavy metal items and decorations in the northeast this year. Good examples of effective metal items include a saucepan, metal weightlifting plates, cooking measuring weights, or any metal furniture you already own. Shapes that are associated with the metal element, such as round objects like a saucepan, are particularly beneficial for this purpose.

A pendulum chiming clock in the northeast of your home or workplace is a fantastic cure for the annual #5 star as the low noise level is not enough to activate the annul #5. In the old days, they would have had someone striking a gong quietly every 15 to 60 minutes.
A very powerful metal cure to place in the northeast this year is a brass Wu Lou or gold-coloured gourd to protect wealth and avoid legal issues and disputes.
In 2025, avoid using candles and fire colours in the northeast, as they will enhance the negative #5 stars energy and bring potential problems. If you have a fireplace in the northeast and cannot avoid using it, make sure to introduce strong metal cures in the area to help counteract the influence. If you have large furniture in red or orange colours, try to cover it with metal coloured fabrics to achieve a better balance. Avoid using crystals in the northeast this year, as they will feed the #5 star’s earth energy, intensifying its negative effects.
What is likely to activate the annual #5 star in 2025?
- Digging holes
- Laying foundations
- Refitting a bathroom or kitchen
- Playing the drums
- Having a children’s playroom in the northeast
- Having a generator running in the northeast
- Using power tools for several days in the northeast
- Playing loud music repetitively
- Having too many earth colours in the northeast (brown, terracotta, beige or yellow)
Ch’ien 6 White – The star of Heaven Chien 6 White (Wu Qu) sits in the south palace in 2025
The south palace will have the annual #6 star fly in during 2025, and when this area is activated with the correct metal and earth cures, we can look forward to a lovely influence here, increasing luck in career and wealth.
The #6 star has begun to lose it’s strength during period 9, and while this energy won’t be as strong as it was in period 8, we can still make very good use of this area by feeding and enhancing the metal energy of this star, to get as much use out of its influence as possible.
The #6 star during period 9 Feng Shui
Auspicious or inauspicious – Auspicious
Influence when activated – Career and wealth luck
enhance with –Metal and earth cures

When the #6 star is activated correctly in the south palace during 2025, this star can bring substantial wealth and career luck. Those who have a job or business in politics, leadership roles, jewellers or anyone in a high-up position can especially benefit from this auspicious stars energy. This star can have a positive impact on all occupants of the home, and workplace, although this will be particularly beneficial for the middle daughter of the household, and females in general.
To activate the south palace this year, I would recommend introducing metal and earth colours and elements to feed and enhance the metal energy of the #6 star. It is best to avoid wood, fire and water cures and colours in the south this year, although small amounts will not cause an issue as long as you are introducing the correct elements needed.
Colour choices for the south in 2025 – brown, terracotta, beige, yellow, white, silver, gold, copper, bronze
Colours to avoid in the south in 2025 – black, grey, blue, green, red, orange, purple, burgundy, pink, lilac
Elements to use in the south in 2025 – Metal and earth
Elements to avoid in the south in 2025 – Wood, fire and water
If you have a door in the south of your home or workplace, this is very good, and I would advise you to try and use this door as the main entrance door this year, as human interaction is a fantastic way to help activate and enhance the #6 star; this is also the case for making use of the south palace, as human interaction will also help.

Candles are not good for the south in 2025, and I would try to avoid burning them here; fire will destroy the metal energy, and can cause problems related to the liver and legs this year, especially for females in the home. If you already have fire colours in the south, you will need to balance this by introducing metal and earth colours. If you had a red sofa, try to place a throw over this in a silver or beige colour.
If the south of your home happens to fall into a bedroom, the presence of the annual #6 star here can bring too much yang energy for a calm room, and it would be best to place water colours here to slow its influence; the easiest way to introduce this is by using blue coloured bedsheets or a throw for the year.
Tui 7 Red – The Lofty Wind of Tui (Po Jun) flies into the north in 2025
The #7 argumentative star will fly into the north palace of every home and workplace across the world in 2025 and when this inauspicious star becomes activated during the year of the snake, this can cause issues related to assault, deceit, violence and robbery. The #7 star can bring problems related to the lungs and anyone with existing lung issues or those with an important room in the north, will need to treat the north with care and attention, while keeping this area calm.
In period 9, the #7 star will retain its inauspicious nature and we will be treating this star by using water and wood cures and colours to drain energy from the metal energy.
The #7 star during period 9 Feng Shui
Auspicious or inauspicious – Inauspicious
Influence when activated – burglary, deception, copyright theft, gossip and backstabbing
weaken with – Wood and water cures
When activated or left untreated, the malevolent energy of the annual #7 star intensifies, particularly if water, earth, or fire colours are present in the north area of your home or workplace this year. When disturbed, the #7 star can lead to issues such as burglary, deception, copyright theft, gossip, and backstabbing. To keep this influence calm and controlled, introduce water and wood cures and colours in the north this year to neutralise and balance the energy.

Colour choices for the north in 2025 – green, black, grey, blue
Colours to avoid in the north in 2025 – brown, terracotta, beige, yellow, white, silver, gold, copper, yellow, red, orange, burgundy, purple, pink, lilac
Elements to use in the north in 2025 – Wood and water
Elements to avoid in the north in 2025 – Metal, fire and earth
If your entrance door is located in the north palace in 2025, it’s recommended to place a Ba Gua wealth protection mirror above the door on the outside to deflect any incoming negative qi. Please also try to avoid slamming the door in the north as much as possible, as this can easily activate the annual #7 star’s inauspicious influence this year.
The annual #7 star can cause security issues when activated, so please be sure to check over your security, alarms, locks and smoke alarms before the year of the Snake begins. With the annual #7 star, it is always wise to think and plan ahead as this star can quickly change luck, and by taking simple steps early in the Chinese New Year, we can avoid the issues that this star can bring.


With the #7 star and with Feng Shui in general, prevention is the best cure, and when you keep an eye on this area to make sure you do not introduce too much earth or fire here (small amounts won’t cause issues), and keep an eye on security, we can avoid activating the #7 star here in 2025. It can be really easy to introduce elements without keeping track; we are constantly moving my sons toys around to different rooms and have moved something where it shouldn’t be with regards to the Flying stars, only to realise a few weeks later.
If you use colours to activate and weaken stars, please avoid any metal, fire, and earth colours in the north this year; If you already have these colours here and they cannot be removed, balance this out by introducing strong water colours such as blue, black, grey etc in the north.
It pays to be wise and avoid taking too many risks if you have an essential room such as an office, bedroom, living room or kitchen in the north, as there may be unscrupulous people working against you. There are indications of misunderstandings, pressure and business rivalries that could also lead to losses.
Ken 8 White has flown into the southwest for 2025
In 2025, the annual #8 star will fly into the southwest for the year ahead, and when this area is activated with the correct earth and fire cures, we can look forward to extremely powerful Peach Blossom luck in both romantic, friendship and professional relationships with others.
The #8 star during period 9 Feng Shui
Auspicious or inauspicious – Auspicious
Influence when activated – wealth and strong Peach Blossom luck
Enhance with – Fire and earth cures

During period 9, the #8 star can bring very strong relationship prospects, aswell as wealth luck to all occupants of the home and workplace, especially for the mother of the household and females in general. When this area is activated, this can bring new love, friendship, clients and overall good luck into our lives.
A lot of websites are still suggesting to activate the #4 star for relationships in period 9, and while this is possible, it requires a lot of knowledge and understanding of the fixed Flying star chart and surroundings. I’ve personally had fantastic luck activating the #8 star last year at the beginning of period 9, but I’d love to hear your stories if you followed this advice.
The southwest is a lovely area in 2025, and we can enhance its positive energy with earth and fire cures. An easy way to introduce these elements is by placing candles and crystals in this area of your home. For traditional cures, place wish enhancers made from natural earth materials in the southwest this year. Avoid wooden wish enhancers, as they will disturb the beneficial earth energy in this area.
The southwest is also a very strong manifestation area, and it is encouraged to write a list of your hopes and dreams that you would like to see materialise in 2025 and place the list underneath the slate earth plate as this helps strengthen the cure a great deal. When writing a manifestation list, try to be realistic with your goals.

When the #8 annual star is activated correctly in 2025, this influence can bring career, love, social, wealth, and relationship gains throughout the year.
If your entrance door is located in the southwest in 2025, this is very good as this star can be activated by human presence, and the activity of people coming and going through the house will help to activate this auspicious energy. Please ensure that the front door is kept clean and tidy throughout the year, as this will help promote fresh Qi flowing towards this area.
Having a commonly used room, such as a bedroom, gym, office, or living room, in the southwest during the Year of the Snake is highly beneficial. Like a front door in this area, it will help strengthen the #8 star, bringing enhanced romance, relationship harmony, social opportunities, career success, and wealth luck throughout 2025.
Although the annual #8 star can bring fantastic luck in 2025, please be aware that this can cause occupants to overwork, leading to health issues. It is important to have a good balance in lifestyle and work in 2025, so please make sure that the added workload doesn’t lead to stress, high blood pressure and kidney problems; if this is the case, it is important to take time out to unwind.
Colour choices for the southwest in 2025 – brown, terracotta, beige, yellow, red, orange, purple, pink, burgundy, lilac
Colours to avoid in the southwest in 2025 – green, white, silver, gold, copper, bronze, black, grey, blue
Elements to use in the southwest in 2025 – Earth and Fire
Elements to avoid in the southwest in 2025 – Metal, Water and Wood
To activate the annual #8 star, you can introduce crystals to the southwest for the year, and this is also a great area to burn candles throughout the year, although please be sure to check on the monthly stars as it is wise to avoid candles in certain months. Crystals are also a fantastic cure to place in the southwest this year.
The southwest is still is a strong wealth, success and romance area for 2025 when activated, so try and store your important financial papers here, like pensions, stock portfolio etc. The best location for paperwork would be in the east where the annual #9 star is located although this can also be placed in the southwest. If you use symbolic cures, this is where you should place your three-legged Toad facing your Sheng Chi direction for wealth or a pair of rose quartz crystal hearts for romance.
Li 9 Purple You Bi Li 9 Purple is found in the east in 2025
The #9 annual star has flown into the east of the home or office in 2025 along with the Three Killings. When the primary wealth star falls into the same palace as one of the annual afflictions, we will need to treat this area with care to make sure that we make full use of the auspicious energy, while making sure that the inauspicious energy of the Three Killings doesn’t become disturbed.
Provided this area is kept calm in 2025, this can be a fantastic area this year and I would encourage you to make as much use of this area as long as activities are not too loud or active.
In period 9, the #9 star has taken on the role of the primary wealth star for the next nineteen years and you should try to make full use of wherever a #9 star falls in your home or workplace each year.
The #9 star during period 9 Feng Shui
Auspicious or inauspicious – Auspicious
Influence when activated – Strong wealth luck, recognition and fame
Enhance with – Fire and wood cures
During 2025, we will need to take advantage of the east palace by enhancing this area with fire and wood colours and cures to make sure that the auspicious energy of the #9 star is strong to activate the star. When activated, we can benefit from auspicious wealth luck, fame, acknowledgement, growth and improvement this year.

Colour choices for the east in 2025 – Green, red, orange, purple, pink, burgundy, lilac
Colours to avoid in the east in 2025 – Brown, terracotta, beige, yellow, white, silver, gold, copper, bronze, black, grey, blue
Elements to use in the east in 2025 – Fire and wood
Elements to avoid in the east in 2025 – Earth, water and metal
If you have an important or commonly used room that falls into the east this year, you will need to make sure that you activate the #9 star and also keep this area calm and quiet when possible as the Three Killings are also located here for the year. Normal daily volumes and activities are fine here, although please try to avoid working out or doing any construction here this year as this will likely activate the Three Killings. This is especially important for the oldest son and males, although this will affect all occupants of the household and work place when activated.
If you have a bedroom or office in the east this year, this is actually good news as these rooms usually have yin energy which is nice and still, allowing you to avoid issues from the Three Killings.

If you experience relationship issues this year, check that you don’t have an excess of water or earth colours and elements—such as brown, terracotta, beige, yellow, black, grey, or blue in this area. Small amounts are acceptable, but try to avoid overusing these colours in 2025. For those trying to conceive, sleeping in the east can boost fertility, especially with a red Kwan Yin placed in this area to enhance supportive energy.
When activated, the #9 star can bring new career opportunities and advancements in 2025. To enhance this energy, introduce fire and wood elements in this area—candles and healthy plants are excellent choices. However, always ensure that candles are not left burning unattended, and keep plants fresh and well-maintained to sustain positive energy throughout the year.
I hope you all enjoyed reading and have a great month.














Thank you so much, really appreciate your help!
Thank you so much for your insightful article — I truly enjoyed reading it. It’s super helpful!
I would be grateful for your advice. My family doesn’t believe in Feng Shui, my daughter’s bedroom happens to be in the Northeast (where Star 5 resides), and she loves red decorations.I was wondering if you could please advise how I might apply cures in this case?
Many thanks in advance for your time and expertise.
Hi Darlene,
You’re more than welcome!
If your daughter likes red decorations and doesn’t want to change her colour scheme, I would try to see if she could change to lighter shades of red. Generally, the less bold you go with colours, the less it will have an impact on the Flying stars.
I would also try to introduce some metal material and colours here to help balance the energy. Another option would be to introduce water colours, as this will drain energy from the #5 and also destroy the fire.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Daniel
