2025 Flying star Xuan Kong annual analysis for the year of the Yin Wood Snake

2025 Feng Shui Flying Stars Xuan Kong Analysis

© Written by Daniel Hanna 2024

Are you prepared for 2025 – The year of the Yin Wood Snake?

” The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.”

On the 3^rd of February 2025, we will enter the year of the Yin Wood Snake (Yi Si), marking a new yearly pillar and also a new path of Annual Flying stars in our home for the year ahead. Last year’s entrance into period 9 Feng Shui will have likely caused a big shift for most of us either good or bad, although you should find that in 2025, the energies will be a lot more settled and we will be able to make a lot better use of the influence of the annual stars, which can make the Snake year a very exciting a productive year!

2024 saw a lot of both good and bad throughout the world with wars, floods, wildfires and many other events, although we also enjoyed many fantastic moments as a planet from medical breakthroughs, a big rise in cleaner energy, Ai technology (good or bad, depending which way you view this), and many other fantastic moments that we should celebrate as a whole. Every year will come with highs and lows, but it is important that we take time to appreciate the good that takes place around the world while also reflecting on the bad.

I am personally really excited for the year of the Snake to begin as this will offer a fresh start to grow in different areas of my life and also some upcoming projects around my home that we decided to put off in 2024 due to the annual afflictions; this same fresh start is offered to everyone every Solar New Year when the annual Flying stars change and by following the advice in this article, you can make major changes and improvements in all areas of your life during 2025, so please be sure to read on.

As I said above, 2025 will be the year of the Yin Wood Snake, and Yin Wood years can bring resolution and resilience, hopefully seeing some of the worlds issues eased. Yin Wood Years tend to bring steady growth, especially with regards to finances and it will be important that outgoings, purchases and investments are handled with care in 2025.

In 2025, we will have the #2 star fly into the central palace, and while this star has taken on auspicious influence for period 9, we are still early into this period and it is best to enhance this star with a mix of earth and metal cures in the early stages of period 9. When activated correctly, this can bring positive health and wealth luck to everyone in the workplace. Please do not try to activate this with strong fire cures yet, as this could cause health issues, especially with regards to the mind. The safest way to activate the #2 star in the central palace in 2025 is to place a Dragon and Phoenix coin Talisman in the centre to introduce a balance of earth and metal, helping the energy to carefully disperse around the whole building.

In 2025, the inauspicious stars will fly to the north (#7), northeast (#5), west (#4), and northwest (#3), while the annual afflictions will affect the east (Three Killings), southeast (Tai Sui), and northwest (Sui Po). If you have a bedroom, office, kitchen, living room, or any important room in these directions and can’t relocate this, please do not worry as there are many ways to calm the energy and prevent these influences from being activated. For those with a main entrance in any of these areas, try to avoid slamming the door when coming or going, as this is a common way to activate an inauspicious star or annual affliction.

It may sound alarming if your main door falls into one of these areas although please remember that simply being aware of potential issues and putting appropriate cures in place can help you avoid many challenges in the year of the Snake.

Every year, since 1999, we have put together an annual Feng Shui cures and enhancers kit to help activate and enhance all of the different auspicious stars and also weaken and calm the inauspicious stars and we began preparing for the 2025 kits quite a few years ago giving a great deal of thought to their energy during period 9. they are extremely powerful cures and enhancers that only the most advanced Feng Shui Masters and Practitioners throughout the world use, and quite a few of the cures in our kits are ones that many Feng Shui Masters charge thousands of pounds for. It does not matter how late in the year in 2025 you place your cures kit; we have many clients who have even placed them towards the end of the year and still got great results.

The Primary wealth star and most powerful star for period 9 is the #9 star. When enhanced, star can bring fantastic luck to all occupants of the home, and we will be activating this with the Gaojie Quannian Master Cure in 2025 to ensure that wealth, career, relationships, health and overall wellbeing prospects are as auspicious as they can be for the Snake year. In 2025, the #9 star falls into the east along with the Three Killings and can be activated with fire and wood cures and colours. When we have an auspicious star in the same palace as one of the annual afflictions, we will need to strengthen this area while keeping it calm, as the Three Killings could counteract the auspicious nature of the #9 star when left alone in 2025.

Another essential cure for the Year of the Snake is the Sanshengyiouxing Sheng Chi Cure which remains in place to support the annual #6 star. Though the #6 star’s influence is beginning to decline, it remains crucial to strengthen its power during the early years of Period 9. This ensures that the star’s wealth-bringing potential is as robust as possible while simultaneously boosting the strength of other wealth stars.

For over 26 years at the Feng Shui Store, we have sold a vast range of powerful and traditional cures and enhancers for your home or office to help you make the most of the year; we also appreciate that not everyone can afford or likes to display these powerful cures and enhancers, which is why we will always offer a free or cheap solution that you can implement with items that you already have in your homes such as different furniture or coloured cushions. In every Flying star analysis that we write, you will find that we will always offer alternatives that you may have at home to help control the energy of the different stars.

Introducing different colours and shapes to other sectors of your home will introduce the five elements to the area to help enhance and weaken the annual Flying stars. Although this is not as effective as traditional Feng Shui cures, they will still help control the influence in each compass sector to make the most of the Flying star and can also be combined to create a strong presence for the five elements and also work extremely well alongside the cures and enhancers for the Snake year.

To ensure that the year of the Snake goes as well as possible, I would read through the Chinese animal predictions for 2025 as each of the twelve animals will have differing influences and luck through the Snake year, and by knowing what could be ahead, we can put our best foot forward for the year ahead to avoid issues and maximise our luck.

2025 Chinese Animal Predictions

From all of us at the Feng Shui Store, we would like to wish you a happy, healthy, and prosperous year of the Yang Wood Dragon (Jia Chen).

What date do the Flying stars change in 2025?

In 2025, the annual Flying Stars will move to their new palaces on February the 3rd. For those interested in the precise time to begin placing your annual cures and enhancers, please check the link below.

2025 Chinese New Year world times calculator

When the annual Flying stars change over for the year ahead, this will create a large shift in energy and we will need to re-evaluate our home and workplace to make sure that we are making the most of the auspicious energy, while also avoiding the inauspicious influences. It is always important to prepare for this as early as possible, which is why we release these articles three months ahead of the New Year; entering a New Year prepared will allow us to make sure that everything is set up correctly to appease the Flying stars for the year ahead.

Since 1999, we’ve published annual predictions in these articles, and in our 2024 Flying Star forecast, we were mostly accurate in anticipating events for the Year of the Dragon. This insight helped many people prepare for and avoid potential challenges.

One thing to bare in mind is that not everything is in your control with Feng Shui. Each Solar New Year will bring new global situations into the world, such as recessions and new viruses, although we can still use Feng Shui to make sure the home and workplace is appeased to make the year as successful as it can be so that we can counteract and avoid issues out of our control.

I always try to write articles with a positive aspect and have never been a fan of writing with a negative outlook, as I am a firm believer that with everything bad, we can still find the good in it. Although I will talk below about the bad areas and the influences they can bring, please do not panic if you have a bedroom, living room, kitchen, office or other important room in one of these sectors, as there is always something that can be done.

Those born in the year of the Pig could find that their progress and general motivation is lacking during 2025 as they are the conflict animal for the Snake year and could be met with conflict, although please take this with a pinch of salt as there is so much that can be done to avoid problems as a conflict animal.

Pig years – 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019

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

For example  
Metal Pig: 1911, 1971
Water Pig: 1923, 1983
Wood Pig: 1935, 1995
Fire Pig: 1947, 2007
Earth Pig: 1959, 2019

All of the cures and enhancers I have mentioned are from our 2025 Cures and enhancers kits, although we do recommend alternatives for every area of your home as we like to offer as much advice as possible.

Which areas of my home and office should I enhance in 2025?

From 2025, some of the stars will have shifted energy and we now be enhancing stars that were previously inauspicious and also weakening stars that were previously auspicious.

1 star – This can be found in the southeast in 2025
2 star – This can be found in the central palace in 2025
6 star – This can be found in the south in 2025
8 star – This can be found in the southwest in 2025
9 star – This can be found in the east in 2025

If you followed the Flying stars last year, you will remember that the #4 star took on an inauspicious energy for period 9, and we will now be weakening this star. The #2 star has taken on an auspicious role, although this is still in the Sheng phase and needs to be carefully active with a blend of earth and metal.

Where are the worst flying stars in 2025, and where are they located?

With the Flying stars, we have a mix of auspicious and inauspicious stars, and for 2025, we have four inauspicious stars fly into the different compass sectors, which will need to be weakened with the relevant cures and elements to make sure that they do not bring any negative energy to our homes and work places.

• 3 star – This can be found in the northwest palace in 2025
• 4 star – This can be found in the west in 2025
• 5 star – This can be found in the northeast in 2025
• 7 star – This can be found in the north in 2025

it is crucial that we cure and neutralise the inauspicious stars with the relevant Annual Cures and Enhancers for the year, as when disturbed or left untreated, they can cause all sorts of problems related to wealth, stress, illness, disputes, legal issues, death and much more so please make sure that you read through carefully on how to avoid issues during the year of the Snake.

If an inauspicious star flies into a spare room, bathroom, storage cupboard, or another less-used room, this will help reduce the probability of activating it this year. However, it’s still important to treat this area properly to help weaken the negative energy throughout the year.

What can I do to prepare for the Chinese New Year 2025?

It’s easier said than done, but the best piece of advice I can give is to prepare as early as you can for the Chinese New Year, as this will avoid mistakes being made and will also make sure that you have your annual Cures and Enhancers to hand to place on the 3^rd of February; Chinese New Year is the busiest time of year for a Feng Shui Store, so it is always wise to order early to make sure you have your cures and enhancers ready to go.

For the past twenty-six years, we have given this Feng Shui advice for free to hundreds of thousands of Feng Shui masters, practitioners, students and general enthusiasts all around the world to help them make the most of their home and business and ensure that their year ahead is as trouble-free and prosperous as it can be.

You will notice that we will give a mixture of suggestions, from using colours, rugs etc., for each of the Flying stars along with traditional Feng Shui Cures and Enhancers, giving you a choice of how to treat the areas, depending on your circumstances in life. Our ethos has always been to offer accessible alternatives that can be sourced from around your home if you prefer not to use traditional cures or may not be able to afford them. We believe good Feng Shui should be available to everyone. While simply incorporating specific colours and shapes may not be as effective as placing dedicated Feng Shui cures and enhancers for 2025, these are still far better than leaving your home or workspace entirely to chance.

Two products that I would strongly recommend for the year of the Snake are the 2025 Annual Cures and Enhancers kit and our Feng Shui software with the full analysis for period 9 Feng Shui, as this will provide you with the necessary tools to make 2025 a successful and exciting year.

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

As the world grows more interested in wellness and alternative lifestyles, Feng Shui has become a lot more common over the last decade. While there is a lot of misinformation about Feng Shui online, many still associate it with large displays you see in a lot of Chinese restaurants. Feng Shui is actually about subtle adjustments and cures that blend into daily life to support energy flow and harmony in the home without disrupting its style or décor.

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

We get a lot of emails each year asking about the best all-round cure to place in a home when a budget does not allow it or when people want to try one cure before investing in other pieces and I will also recommend the annual Master cure as this can help enhance and protect all different aspects of life.

The most powerful and imperative cure and enhancer is called a Gaojie Quannian Master Cure and must only be used in a Yin Wood Snake (Yi Si) year. This powerful amulet and protective talisman cure is placed to enhance the annual #9 wealth and career star, which has become the prominent wealth star during period 9 Flying star Feng Shui. For 2025, this must be placed in the east palace to enhance the auspicious energy of the annual #9 star. If you want overall protection for the whole of your home or office, I would recommend taking a look at our 2025 Cures and Enhancers kit.

HOW DO I FIND THE 2025 COMPASS SECTORS IN MY HOME OR OFFICE?

The first thing to do when working out the 9 compass sectors of your home or office is to draw a rough floorplan of the building so that you have a good idea which rooms fall into which compass area. In modern times, you will usually have a floorplan of your home online if you search through a property website under the sold section, such as Rightmove or Zillow. If you cannot find a floorplan online, you can draw a rough plan by measuring the outside walls for accurate dimensions. If you have our Feng Shui Software, you can do your floor plan within the software, making it very easy. Once you have your floor plan, you will need to split the home into nine equal sectors, similar to a tic tac toe grid.

Now that you have your floor plan, you will need a good quality compass to help you find your compass direction. If you do not know how to take a compass-facing direction, please visit this page. You can also find many videos on YouTube showing the best way to take a compass reading. Your smart phone should have a built in compass to give you a rough idea of the directions, although I would always recommend a traditional compass over this, as the results are a lot more precise.

Once you have the compass directions of your home or workplace, you can map out the different compass sectors and overlay them on your floorplan to allow you to see which Flying stars fall into each sector this year.

If you look at the floor plan below, you will see that the 2 star falls into the central area of this home which falls into the master bedroom and for most of us, this will likely fall into a bedroom, kitchen, study or living room and could cause problems if you do not place any cures and enhancers. The #2 star has taken on an auspicious energy for the next 19 years and can be carefully be activated by placing a Long Feng Cheng Xiang – Dragon and Phoenix coin Talisman. Try to introduce a balance of metal and earth colours here for 2025.

This chart below was created with our Academy of Feng Shui Period 9 software using the Floor planner section.

• The top left number is called the mountain star and affects the health and well-being of the occupants in the home.
• The top right number is called the facing star, which affects wealth.
• The middle number is called the period number and comes from the year the home was built.
• The bottom right red number is the 2025 Annual flying star.

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

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

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

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

The Three Killings – East (52.5 – 127.5)

Please avoid noisy renovations in the east of your home or workplace when possible during 2025, as we have the Three Killings located here for the year along with the annual #9 star. Try to avoid major digging, such as foundations in this area this year, although digging small holes for plants or fence posts will be fine.

If you have no option but to perform work in the east during 2025, I would strongly recommend placing a six-hollow rod metal wind chime while the work is being carried out and for a few days after. We take this very seriously at the Feng Shui Store as we’ve seen some nasty events over the past 44 years when this energy has been disturbed.

If you have a door located in the east this year, please take great care when opening and closing the door to ensure it is not slammed. Avoid the influence of the Three Killings by opening and shutting the door calmly or installing a soft close hinge.

We also have the annual #9 primary wealth star located in the east palace this year, and when this area is activated by the Three Killings, it can lower the strength of the #9 stars influence, so please treat this area with care. To safely and effectively active the east this year, the two most effective cures for the annual #9 star are the Gaojie Quannian Master Cure and the Jinyuyingmen Red and Gold Buddha to ensure that wealth and overall luck prospects are at their highest for the home and workplace in 2025.

Urgent repairs to your home or office in the east will need a cure to prevent any negative consequences. You can place a six-rod hollow metal rod wind chime between the building and where the work is being carried out, or ideally, contact a professional Feng Shui Consultant to select an auspicious date to start the work.

Annual #5 yellow Flying star – northeast Palace.

From the 3rd of February 2025, the annual five yellow star will fly into the northeast of every home, office and building for the year. When activated with noise or regular traffic, this inauspicious influence can bring disaster, illness, lawsuits and significant financial issues, making this a crucial area to tread carefully during the year of the Snake.

It is highly recommended that you keep the northeast of your home or office calm and settled as much as possible during 2025 to avoid activating this area and avoid any building work or noisy activities. To control and weaken the influence of the annual five star, place a set of six Chinese i-ching coins tied with red ribbon, a six-rod hollow metal wind chime and a salt water cure in the northeast to avoid the problems that are associated with the #5 yellow disaster star.

A powerful and vital cure to place in the northeast of your home or office during 2025 is to place a set of six Chinese coins tied with a red ribbon in your building to weaken and appease the annual #5 yellow star, which is why we have included these in all of our Annual cures and enhancers kits this year.

Tai Sui (The Grand Duke of Jupiter) – southeast (142.5 – 157.5)

Like all of the annual afflictions, Tai Sui does not like being disturbed. The effects of Tai Sui can be good or bad depending on the annual flying stars that coincide with its location.

If your front door is located in the southeast during 2025, please try to avoid slamming the door as much as possible as this is a very quick way to anger Tai Sui. If you have a main bedroom or living space in the southeast this year, try to keep noise levels to normal volume and avoid playing the TV or music too loud that you can’t easily speak over the top of it. The traditional method to appease Tai Sui for the year of the Snake is to place a  Wu Sui Tai Sui gold plated plaque in the southeast of your home or work place throughout the whole of 2025; this cure will pay respect and also appease the Deity for the year ahead and also enhance the annual #1 star with which is also located here for the year.

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

Sui Po (Year Breaker) – northwest (322.5 º -337.5 º)

Sui Po year breaker will fall into the northwest for 2025 and will occupy the compass sector directly opposite Tai Sui, which will also have the annual #3 star fall here. When the #3 star and Sui Po is activated with too much noise and activity, this can cause a lot of problems to the occupants of the home or workplace. To settle this energy, please place a Lung Chi Four Celestial Animals Talisman in the northwest to weaken the annual #3 star and keep this area calm.

Please avoid too much noise in the northwest this year and avoid ground-breaking and renovation. When Sui Po is disturbed, this area can and usually will cause immediate health problems, especially concerning the elderly, so please be very careful with the northwest of your home or office this year.

Please do not panic if the east, northeast, southeast or northwest of your home or workplace has a bedroom, office, living room or other regularly used room in one of these areas; start preparing to place your 2025 cures and enhancers kit as of the 3^rd February to ensure a trouble-free year and also cleanse any old cures that you will be reusing this year. To give you even better control, use our advanced Feng Shui period 9 software, as this provides a sophisticated analysis of every home or office facing any direction in any part of the world.

Water placement in 2025:

During period 9, the use of outside water has moved to a new location, and you will be able to place a pond or water feature in the north palace up until 2044, although you will also need to fully activate this area by having mountain support to the south palace. Please note that moving water is a specialist subject in Feng Shui and should only be placed if you have a good understanding of the fixed Flying star chart for your home, or have been recommended this by a consultant who has a done a consultation for Period 9.

When placing water inside of your home, it is imperative that the water is kept very clean and is constantly flowing; if you have a water feature, this should be kept on, and if you have a fish tank, the pump should be running so that the water is constantly flowing. Stale and dirty water will very quickly create negative Qi (energy) in a home, which will make its way all around and turn good into bad if left alone. Using water in Feng Shui is a very powerful tool and is a vital part of Feng Shui (Shui meaning water). The Qi around the home or office is caught by the water and is then cleansed and distributed around the building, provided the water is clean and flowing.

For more details on your primary and secondary wealth areas in period 9 follow this link https://www.fengshuiweb.co.uk/secondary-wealth-area-period-9

Salt water cure placement for 2025:

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

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

The salt cure is one of the most essential cures to place in every building this year to make sure that the #5 star does not become activated. If you notice that you are experiencing bad luck, wealth issues, throat issues or persistent illness during 2025, you will need to place a salt cure in the northeast palace to dissipate and clear the negative energy that the annual #5 star can bring.

To create a salt water cure for 2025, you must use 6 I-Ching coins and a red rhombus knot to make a salt water cure for the northeast of your home or office on or after the 3^rd of February 2025. You should also place six Chinese coins tied in a row with a red ribbon alongside the salt cure.

Please note that in period 9 (2024 – 2044), we will be using the salt cure only for the #5 star and not the #2 star, as this has become timely.

Annual Flying Star analysis for 2025, the year of the Yin Wood Snake (Yi Si)

The analysis below has a great deal of information and advice, which can sometimes be a bit overwhelming, and I would suggest printing this out or saving this and highlighting the most relevant points to you when reading through this.

Although I do address the problems that can come from inauspicious stars and annual afflictions becoming activated, I also write about how to avoid or resolve this, so please do not worry too much if you have an important room in an afflicted area during 2025.

The lottery ticket in the image below has been created and personalised to an individual’s unique lottery numbers with our Feng Shui period 9 software and taken from their birth date. Placing it in the east, southwest, south, or southeast can increase your chances of winning. If you own the software, you increase your chances even more as it calculates even more advanced formulas to tap into wealth and good luck.

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.

Please try to avoid the following activities in the Southeast Palace this year –

• Digging holes
• Laying foundations
• Refitting a bathroom or kitchen
• Playing the drums
• Having a children’s playroom in the southeast
• Having a generator running in the southeast
• Using power tools for several days in the southeast
• Playing loud music repetitively

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 blue 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.

Enhancement summary and advice for the #1 visiting the southeast in 2025

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

Good traditional cures for the centre in 2025 are cures that have a blend of metal and earth such as the 8 facets Crystal Diamond Zuan Shi Cheng Ji, Mi Yan Jing Ta – Selenite pagoda and Xinglong Zhufu Yiniansiji wealth enhancer.

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.

Summary for the annual #2 star in the central palace in 2025:

Better months are February, March, April, May, July, October, November, December, and January (2026).

Take extra care in June, August, and September.

Enhancers and advice for the #2 visiting the central palace in 2025:

• Place a Long Feng Cheng Xiang – Dragon and Phoenix coin Talisman in the centre during 2025

• Avoid candles or bright lights in the centre this year. If you have these colours in place and cannot move them, balance the energy with metal.

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 protect against the harmful influences that the annual #3 star and Sui Po can bring, the most powerful cure you can place is the Lung Chi Four Celestial Animals Talisman in your home and business in 2025, and has been included it in all our annual and deluxe kits this year. Their combined energy, along with the Talisman engraving on the reverse, will serve as a powerful remedy against the #3 star, ensuring protection and harmony in 2025.

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.

The northwest of your home should be kept calm and quiet this year as we have Sui Po located here. I’ve added a list of what you can and cannot do to give you a better idea of how Sui Po can be disturbed.

• Installing a pond or swimming pool in the northwest – not advised and if unavoidable, make sure you place annual Feng Shui cures.
• Using a main door in the northwest – not advised and if unavoidable, make sure you place annual Feng Shui cures.
• Replacing windows or doors in the northwest – not advised and if unavoidable, make sure you place annual Feng Shui cures.
• Play drums in the northwest as loud as possible – not advised and if unavoidable, make sure you place annual Feng Shui cures.
• Drilling into walls in the northwest (single holes for hanging pictures should be fine) – not advised and if unavoidable, make sure you place annual Feng Shui cures.
• Lay a new patio or deck in the northwest – not advised and if unavoidable, make sure you place annual Feng Shui cures.

• Planting small plants with a hand spade in the northwest – fine to do so but still place annual cures
• Using a main door in the northwest quietly, avoiding slamming the doors – fine to do so
• Watching television or listening to music in the northwest at a reasonable volume – fine to do so
• Painting and decorating a bedroom in the northwest – fine to do so

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.

If you have a water feature or fish tank in the northwest palace of your home or workplace, this is likely to activate the #3 star during 2025 and I would strongly suggest placing the Lung Chi Four Celestial Animals Talisman close to the water feature or fish tank, along with strong fire colours.

Summary for the annual #3 star in the northwest in 2025:

Please keep the northwest settled and quiet when possible during 2025 and introduce fire and earth cures and colours to weaken the inauspicious influence of the #3 star. Be extra careful when reviewing paperwork in 2025, as the annual #3 star can lead to challenges like lawsuits, disputes, and general conflicts with others. Take extra time to carefully check documents before signing to help avoid these potential issues.

Better months are March, April, May, June, August, December, and January (2025).

Take extra care in February, July, September, October, and November.

Remedies and advice for the #3 visiting the northwest in 2025

• An effective quick cure is to place a light in the northwest of your home or office. If possible, choose a lamp with a wooden stand and a peach or red shade, as this combination enhances the calming fire energy needed to counterbalance the annual influences.
• Take extra security measures for the whole home or business during 2025, and check smoke alarms regularly.
• Place a Lung Chi Four Celestial Animals Talisman in the northwest during 2025.
• Avoid metal cures in the northwest this year and please do not use windchimes here.
• Lighting a candle in the northwest of your home or workplace will help control the influence of the annual #3 star.
• Check through everything before signing documents. This is especially important if you have an office in the northwest this year.
• Beware of backstabbing, as sometimes it is unseen behind your back and from someone, you thought you knew quite well.
• Introduce fire and earth colours into the northwest to weaken the #3 wood star.

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

To control and weaken the inauspicious influence of the #4 star in the west in 2025, place a Taiping Dai Niandi Protection amulet in the west of your home or office. This will help keep the malevolent energy of the #4 star at bay throughout the year.

The reason for placing the Taiping Dai Niandi Protection amulet is to create a balanced flow of energy, drawing away the harmful influence of the #4 wood star and weakening the inauspicious energy of the annual #4 star in the west for the year. The #4 star can also bring problems related to the thighs, hip, buttock, bladder, and liver and can cause colds and flu. This makes it a volatile star for daily well-being, and we must keep this energy settled during the year of the Snake.

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.

Another imperative cure to control the energy of the annual #4 star in the west this year is to place a Red three legged Toad God sitting on bed of Coins and Ingots. We have included the Three Legged Toad with all of our Deluxe cures and enhancers kits for 2025 to ensure that this area is kept settled.

Summary for the annual #4 star in the west in 2025:

Treat the west with care and attention from 2025 onwards as this star has an inauspicious energy in period 9. Place a Taiping Dai Niandi Protection amulet along with a Red three legged Toad God sitting on bed of Coins and Ingots to weaken and control the influence of the annual #4 star for 2025.

Better months are April, May, June, July, September, and January (2026).

Take extra care in February, March, August, October, November, and December.

recommendations and cures for the #4 visiting the west in 2025

• Use Red, orange, purple, burgundy, lilac, pink, brown, terracotta, beige, yellow
  in your décor in the west of your home or office.
• Place an Taiping Dai Niandi Protection amulet in the west of your home or office in 2025.
• The west is a good area to burn candles in 2025 to weaken the influence of the annual #4 star, although only if it is safe to do so.
• Avoid large potted plants inside in the west of your home and workplace his year
• Place a Red three legged Toad God sitting on bed of Coins and Ingots in the west during 2025.
• Avoid too many green or metal colours in the west this year as this will aggravate the annual #4, manifesting its negative influence.
• Keep the west calm and quiet.

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.

For 2025, the most crucial cures you can place to weaken and control the malevolent energy of the annual #5 is a Six-rod hollow metal wind chime, salt water cure and Six Chinese I-Ching coins tied in a row in the northeast of your home.

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.

For 2025, I would strongly suggest placing these Cures in the northeast of your home or office to keep the inauspicious energy of the annual #5 settled:

Six Chinese i-ching coins In a row
Salt water cure
Six-rod hollow metal wind chime

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)

Summary for the annual #5 star in the northeast in 2025:

Take extra care in February, March, April, September, November, December, and January (2025).

Better months are: May (care will be needed), June, July, August, and October.

To prevent activating the negative energy of the annual #5 star in 2025, avoid loud noises or any ground-breaking activities in the northeast. These actions can intensify the influence of the #5 star and bring further challenges.

Avoid placing fire and earth colours or candles in the northeast of your home or office, such as orange, red, purple, brown terracotta, yellow or beige. Introduce metal colours such as white, silver, gold or copper.

recommendations and cures for the #5 visiting the northeast in 2025

• Avoid having the TV or radio at too high a volume in the northeast in 2025
• Keep the northeast of your home clear and tidy throughout the year.
• Do not introduce any red or earth colours to the northeast this year. Silver, gold or white beddings and curtains are good colours to use.
• Place a salt water cure in the northeast of the building along with six Chinese coins tied in a row with red ribbon and six hollow metal rod wind chime.
• The six coins in a row and salt cure are crucial cures to place in 2025, please do not forget them.
• Place a Brass Wu-Lou in the northeast, especially if your bedroom falls into this area.
• Avoid fire colours and candles in the northeast this year.
• Tsai Shen Yeh (God of wealth) in gold colour is very effective at reducing the bad earth and protecting your wealth.

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.

To help the #6 stars influence manifest as well as it can in 2025, I would recommend placing a Sanshengyiouxing Sheng Chi Cure in the south of your home and workplace. This extremely powerful cure and enhancer should be placed in the south during the year of the Snake and has been a key part of our Cures and Enhancers kits for nearly two decades. For 2025, this cure must be placed in the south to enhance the annual #6, bringing luck in wealth, leadership, success and ambition, and is one of the most essential cures to use in 2025.

Another extremely powerful cure to enhance the south palace during 2025 is the Golden Arowana fish sitting on bed of Coins and Ingots. Arowana fish play a very important role in Feng Shui and have been used to enhance wealth and career luck for many years. In 2025, we will be placing the Golden Arowana fish in the south palace to strengthen the metal energy of the annual #6 star and to ensure this area is charged with positive energy to provide strong career and wealth luck. If the South is left alone this year, it can lead to various challenges in achieving success, potential legal complications, poor health, and general misfortune in the home or office.

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.

Summary for the annual #6 star in the south in 2025:

The south is a fantastic area during 2025 and when activated with metal and earth cures, we can expect good wealth and career prospects throughout the Snake year. Place a Sanshengyiouxing Sheng Chi Cure and Golden Arowana fish sitting on bed of Coins and Ingots in the south of your home or workplace along with crystals and metal items during 2025 to enhance this auspicious star.

Take extra care in March, April, May, October, December, and January (2026).

The best months are February, June, July, August, September, and November.

recommendations and cures for the #6 visiting the south  in 2025

• If you have a bedroom in the south this year, a shade of blue or black in your furnishing or décor may help with health. A blue painting (not a water scene) may also do. This is because the #6 star can bring too much yang energy for a bedroom.
• Place a Sanshengyiouxing Sheng Chi Cure in the south of your home or office to enhance and protect wealth and career prospects.
• Crystals will work very well in the south for 2025.
• Place Golden Arowana fish sitting on bed of Coins and Ingots in the south during 2025.
• Metal dishes and decorations will feed the inherent energy of the #6 star in the south this year.
• Avoid fire colours such as red, and please do not light candles in the south unless the monthly stars allow it, as it can cause lung issues.

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 metal, 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.

The most effective cure to place in the north of your home or workplace during 2025 is the Chunjie Liaoque Rice cure. As this is a crucial cure in 2025, we have included this in all of our 2025 Cures and Enhancers kits.

When placed in the north of the home or workplace in 2025, the Chunjie Liaoque Rice cure will help to control and dissipate any negative energy here and stop the potential problems from materialising, turning bad into good this year. The Rice cure works in a similar way to a salt water cure where it absorbs and neutralises any negative Qi in the area, although please do not be tempted to use a salt cure for a #7 star as these are two completely different cures for different energies.

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.

Another extremely powerful cure to place in the north of your home and workplace this year is the Dezhi Jishi Double carp bell Talisman. The double Carp facing each other, paired with a Xuang bell below, is a powerful Feng Shui symbol for protecting and attracting wealth and good luck, especially when placed in the north of your home or business in 2025. This combination represents ambition, perseverance, and abundance, making it a time-honoured emblem of harmony and happiness.

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.

Summary for the annual #7 star in the north in 2025:

In 2025, try to keep the north area calm and quiet, as the annual #7 star can cause significant issues when disturbed. If you have a high-activity room in the north, such as a gym or kitchen, make sure to place the appropriate cures for the year and incorporate strong water colours to help calm this influence.

If you have an office or main door in the north, be cautious of potential deception, robbery, conflicts, and financial loss. Double-check any paperwork before finalising agreements, as the annual #7 star often brings issues involving people you know and trust. Staying vigilant can help mitigate these risks.

Please take extra care during February, April, May, June, November, and January (2026).

Better months are March, July, August, September, October, and December.

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 most powerful and influential cure that you can place in the southwest in 2025 is the  Mantanghong wish and romance enhancer to ensure that relationship, wealth and overall luck is as strong as it can be for the household and business during the year of the Snake. This cure and enhancer is so important in 2025, which is why we included it in our 2025 cures and enhancers kit.

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.
