FENG SHUI

The complete cycle of the Flying Star is 180 years. It has nine 20-year periods. The most recent Period 1 was from 1864 to 1883. The recent Period 7 was from 1984 to 2003. The current Period 8 of Flying Stars is from 2004 to 2023. The next Period9 id from 2024 to 2043.

Period 8 is the 8th 20-year in the 180-year cycle. The center Kua Number of Flying Star is 8, which is in the Western-Four group (2,6,7,8). Therefore, the Western-Four Houses have a better advantage to bring good luck and fortune than the Eastern-Four Houses (1,3,4,9) during Period 8. If you are a Western-Four Person, then you will receive more blessings by living in a Western-Four House.

The 1-White, 6-White, 8-White, and 9-Purple are auspicious areas. In Period 8, 1-White of the West direction or 9-Purple of the Northwest corner are good locations for Eastern-Four people; 6-White at the East is good for Western-Four people. Since 8-White is in charge of Period 8, the Northeast corner gathers strong and good energy, which is considered an auspicious area, too.

When you look for your home, you need to think about what's the most important thing to you for the coming 10 years. Is it the wealth, career, love, marriage, health, education, or children? If you know your answer, then Feng Shui Flying Star can help you to find a house to enhance your good luck to reach your goal.

Flying Star Kua Diagram of 2023

2023 is the year of Water Rabbit. The Kua Number of Feng Shui Flying Star is #4, which is 4-Green Wood . The year 2023 of Purple White Flying Star 4-Green Wood is from February 4, 2023 at 10:43 to February 4, 2024 at 16:27.

Feng Shui Flying Star positions are changing with the passage of time. 2023 is the cycle of Kua 4-Green Wood Year. On the left is the 2023 Flying Star diagram.

Flying Star numerology has the theory of overlapping Kua Numbers between Heaven Calendar Flying Star diagram and Earth House Flying Star diagram. When certain two numbers are overlapping together, certain natural phenomenon will create and human will have certain responses. The following are some overlapping number combinations which can change the Feng Shui environmental luck to people. This valuable information can help people to find their right houses on their right timing.

Using the the theory of Feng Shui overlapping Kua Numbers, we will know which house has potential to enhance people's luck in wealth, career or love. Then we look for which bedroom or office will be impacted by Yearly Flying Stars. If you need money luck, then you have to find the House of Wealth. If you are in the House of Debt, then you have to make sure your bedroom or office in the Room of Debt.

Each house has its Flying Star 9-Palace Diagram, too. When Yearly diagram and House's diagram are overlapping together, certain Kua Numbers in the same grid form a special relationship, which could bring people good or bad luck. We will find those special combinations for you in the following. You might need them for special events in 2023.

Flying Star Feng Shui for The Year of the Yang Water Tiger, 2022

On the 4th of February 2023, we enter a new solar Chinese New year (year 4721st in the Chinese calendar), the year of the Yin Water Rabbit (Gui Mao). The last time we had a Yin Water Rabbit year was back in 1963 when John F Kennedy was assassinated, and overall, 1963 was a troubled year the world over.

With each year that passes, we seem to get one problem out of the way, and another comes along, and 2022 was undoubtedly a year of troubles worldwide.

Many are facing a rough few years ahead with conflict in Ukraine, energy crisis, inflation, climate change, the sad passing of our beloved Queen, recessions, political upheaval for us in the UK (three prime ministers in the same year), and the list goes on. Unfortunately, the year of the Yin Water rabbit Gui Mao will be another conflict year but combined with lots of hope, though, and if you follow our advice, you can avoid many problems in 2023.

Over the last three years, COVID lockdowns have caused a lot of people to take on home and business improvement tasks around the home, garden and office, which impacted the Feng Shui of a home or business. However, with the new energy crisis, most of us are faced with, more people are returning to work to save on heating costs at home, so yet again, we are seeing a shift in how we are living our lives, and this will again have an impact on the Feng Shui of your home and office as human beings in a building create qi energy and this affects the whole outlook of the year and extraordinary cures and enhancers are needed in 2023.

We have the #4 relationship star visit the central palace, which usually indicates good relations. However, as we move closer to period 9 in 2024, the #4 is weaker. Relationships in love, career, and even finances can be affected, which is why it is essential to place the Wanshouwujiang Zhenai wish and romance enhancer in the centre palace in 2023 and make sure you follow the advice below as even with this weak #4 star we can create some auspicious energy from it.

With the very auspicious #8 star in the south palace, we have an excellent opportunity to create new wealth in 2023, and with the Changtong Caibo Yisheng Master Cure placed in the south, this not only enhances wealth but also protects it, although you must be careful not to gamble in 2023, especially with the stock market or Bitcoin type investments as the money markets can be rocky in the water Rabbit year.

In 2022, we had all the annual Flying stars flying into their inherent palaces on the Lo shu, which created double strength in each palace, creating double luck in the auspicious sectors and double misfortune in the inauspicious sectors. However, in 2023, we see a slightly more balanced natal chart but still a lot of element conflict, especially in the east, northwest, southeast, northeast and west of every building in the world. You must place annual cures and enhancers to counteract the energy.

The inauspicious stars and annual afflictions will fly into the west (three killings and Sui Po), east along with Tai Sui Grand Duke (#2), northwest (#5), southeast (#3), and northeast #7. If you have a bedroom, office or other important room in one of these sectors, try not to worry, as there is so much you can do to weaken and avoid these negative influences in 2023. If you have an exterior entrance door in one of the afflicted areas, please avoid slamming the door when you can, as this level of noise can trigger the inauspicious annual stars during the year of the Rabbit.

Those who have their main door or important room such as a study, bedroom, kitchen or living room in the west (three killings and Sui Po), east along with Tai Sui Grand Duke (#2), northwest (#5), southeast (#3), and northwest #7 will need to take great care in the year of the Rabbit to avoid the difficulties that come with these afflictions.

This may sound frightening to read if you have a main door in these areas, but please remember, knowing about a potential problem and having the relevant cures in place, you can avoid many issues occurring in the year of the Rabbit.

The most effective and imperative cure and enhancer in 2023 is called a Changtong Caibo Yisheng Master Cure and the Haoyun Zhunian Sheng Chi; they can only be used in Gui Mao (yin water Rabbit) year. The last time these powerful cures would have been used was in 1963. These cures are needed to enhance and protect in 2023, especially for every female of a home or business and very much needed to enhance and protect wealth in 2023.

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.

To strengthen your luck during the Rabbit year, I would read through the Chinese animal Predictions for 2023. Each of the twelve animals will have different luck in a Rabbit year, and knowing what to expect can get you off to a great start.

From all of us at the Vaastu International, we would like to wish you a happy, healthy, and prosperous year of the Yin Water Rabbit (Gui Mao).

What date do the Flying stars change in 2023?

In 2023, the Flying stars for the year will change on either the 3rd or 4th of February, depending on which country you are based in.

When the Flying stars change each year, this creates a massive shift in energy and the layout for the previous year may no longer work well in a home or workplace, so it is always wise to prepare for this by going through the Flying star analysis and place your annual cures and enhancers for the year ahead.

I will be awaiting some very good news in medicine in 2023 as I think it will be a year of significant advancement with cancer, Alzheimer’s and such like illnesses, especially concerning the brain and nervous system. In fact, I will contradict myself as there are investments to be made in 2023. I will be looking at companies doing research and development on these subjects as I believe over the next few years, as we move closer to period 9 in 2024, many advancements will be made. I am excited about this, although please do not take this as financial advice and do your own research.

Sadly, the influence of each Chinese New Year will bring global situations that are out of our control, such as rising energy prices, although we can still make sure that we enhance the wealth stars in our home and work place to make sure that we are well prepared for situations such as this.

I’ve always hated writing articles from a negative point of view as I am a big believer in positive thinking and manifesting your own luck, so please try not to panic if you have a bedroom or office in an inauspicious area in 2023, as there is always a resolution to an issue.

Those born in the year of the Rooster could be affected by the conflicting influences of the year of the Rabbit as the Rooster is the conflict animal of the Rabbit and those born in 1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005 and 2017 will need to be more careful during 2023 as the influence of the Rabbit year will bring challenges into their life. However, they still have endless opportunities to make the Rabbit year a successful and enjoyable one.

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

For example
Metal Monkey: 1920, 1980
Water Monkey: 1932, 1992
Wood Monkey: 1944, 2004
Fire Monkey: 1956, 2016
Earth Monkey: 1968

All of the cures and enhancers we have mentioned are for 2023. Although we do recommend alternatives for every area of your home as we like to offer as much advice as possible.

Which areas should I enhance in 2023?

With regards to the arrangement of the Xuan Kong Flying stars in 2023, we will have the #8 wealth star fly into the south, and it is wise to make the most of this influence this year, especially if you have an important room here as this is the final year with the #8 as the primary wealth star. To activate the annual #8 star with earth and fire cures and colours this year, two potent enhancers for the #8 star this year are the Changtong Caibo Yisheng Master Cure and the Xinglong Zhufu Yiniansiji wealth enhancer, as these two cures are extremely powerful during the Rabbit year.

With period 9 just around the corner, we must now start taking advantage of the annual #9 star, as this will become the new primary wealth star when period 9 begins in 2024. The most effective cure for the annual #9 star is to place a Jubaopen Wealth bowl of fortune and success Talisman in the north in 2023.

Where are the worst flying stars in 2023, and where are they located?

With the Flying stars, we have a mix of auspicious and inauspicious stars, and for 2023, 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 workplaces.

• 2 star – This can be found in the east in 2023
• 3 star – This can be found in the southeast in 2023
• 5 star – This can be found in the northwest in 2023
• 7 star – This can be found in the northeast in 2023

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 Rabbit.

If one of the inauspicious stars falls into your spare room, bathroom, storage cupboard or other lesser-used room, this will help avoid activating the star this year. However, please be sure to treat this area accordingly to help weaken the negative energy for the year.

What can I do to prepare for the Chinese New Year 2023?

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 4th 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.

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. Although traditional cures are a lot more effective, I appreciate that not everyone will be able to afford these, which is why I have always offered advice for using items that you may already have around your home.

Our ethos is always to provide alternatives that can be found around your home if you do not want to place the cures or cannot afford them, as we believe that good Feng Shui should be available to the masses. While just using colours and shapes alone will not be as effective as placing the relevant Feng Shui cures and enhancers for 2023, they will still be a lot better than leaving the home or office to chance as it is.

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

I’m sure that most people, when they first heard about Feng Shui, would have imagined life-size Buddha statues and large eight-foot Fu Dogs by the front door. While there is some accuracy to this, the reality is that cures these sizes are more suited to enormous tower block buildings and most of the Feng Shui cures and enhancers available on our website will blend in naturally in a home, office or workplace and can even be placed behind pictures or furniture.

I will always have my cures and enhancers on display as they are more effective when fully exposed in a home, although most people would expect a home to look like a Chinese restaurant when they imagine a home that has been set up with Feng Shui in mind. Feng Shui is not about having your house covered in cures and enhancers; it is about using carefully selected cures in the correct position to ensure they are as effective as possible. You can also avoid problems and enhance your property by using colours, objects and the five elements – metal, water, wood, fire, and earth.

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 influential cure and enhancer in 2023 is called a Changtong Caibo Yisheng Master Cure and must only be used in a Yin Water Rabbit year; this powerful amulet and protective talisman cure is placed only during Gui Mao years to enhance the annual #8 wealth star, which is located in the south palace in 2023.

HOW DO I FIND THE 2023 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 Zillow. If you cannot find a floor plan online, you can draw a rough plan by measuring the outside walls for accurate dimensions.

Once you have your floor plan, you will need a good-quality compass to find your compass direction. Smart phones usually have a built-in compass that will give you a general idea of the different sectors, although I would not recommend using this for accurate readings.

Now that you know the compass direction of your building, you can work out the different compass sectors of your home or office and write them down on the floorplan so that you can work out which Flying stars fall into which area for 2023 according to the eight magnetic directions and centre to plan how to make the most of your life for the year ahead.

The Flying star chart in the home or office has an exceptional formation and requires careful analysis; You can consult with us or any flying star fengshui expert for special combination or formation in the Flying star chart.

South-West (1 White) - Brings Triumph and Success.

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

Kan water #1 (Tang Lang) has flown into the southwest in 2023, and the inherent energy of this sector is water which will be destroying the annual energy; we will need to introduce some strong metal and water cures in here for 2023.

The southwest is an important area for the household matriarch and all females in general, although also crucial for males. This influence can bring luck and advancements to career, finances and relationships when activated correctly.

Colour choices for the southwest in 2023 – white, silver, gold, copper, bronze, black, grey, blue
Colours to avoid in the southwest in 2023 – green, brown, terracotta, beige, yellow, red, orange, purple, pink, burgundy, lilac
Elements to use in the southwest in 2023 – Metal and water
Elements to avoid in the southwest in 2023 – Wood, fire and earth

The best cures you can place in the southwest of your home or work place in 2023 to enhance the annual #1 star are a pair of golden Yufang Fu Dogs and two Xing Wang Buddhas to ensure that wealth, career and relationships are enhanced as best as they can be, especially if this is an office, bedroom or other commonly used room.

A pair of Fu Dogs are one of the most recognised cures and one that we have carefully chosen to be placed in the southwest during 2023 to enhance the annual #1 star, bringing good protection, wealth, career, and relationship luck to occupants of the home.

Traditional metal cures enhance the annual star and weaken the inherent star this year, bringing very strong luck in new opportunities for the occupants, creating results in financial investments and academic achievements, and enhancing romance and relationships.

If you have any poison arrows outside facing towards your home, such as a busy road or power lines in the southwest of your home or office, I would suggest placing a Ba Gua mirror outside of the building pointing towards the poison arrow; if you are unsure which mirror to use, a Ba Gua wealth protection mirror is the safest bet to use in the southwest during 2023 as these are designed to reflect negative energy back to the poison arrow.

If you cannot afford the pair of golden Yufang Fu Dogs and two Xing Wang Buddhas, or if you do not wish to use traditional cures in your home or office this year, I would try to introduce some water or metal colours in the southwest; The easiest way to do this is by using bed sheets, pillows, pictures, ornaments, lampshades etc. The best colours to use are blacks, greys, blues, white, silver, gold, copper and bronze. If your bedroom or office falls into the southwest, I recommend placing a brass Wu Lou talisman here to protect and enhance wealth.

Please try to avoid introducing any fire, wood or earth colours in the southwest of your home or workplace in 2023, as this can lead to a loss of wealth. If you already have these colours in place and cannot be easily removed, I would introduce strong water or metal colours alongside traditional metal cures to balance the energies.

If you are introducing furniture and ornaments as cures in the southwest, I would try choosing objects with waves and ripples or round objects as these shapes bring good water and metal influence. If you have any heavy metal furniture, this will work well in the southwest.

Businesses that deal with investments, trading, jewellery, or online retailing can expect better times if they have an office or main door in the southwest this year.

If you have an office in the southwest 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.

Summary for the annual #1 star in the southwest in 2023:

The best months for the southwest during 2023 are February, April, June, September, October, November and January (2024).

Take extra care in March, May, July, August and December. I would check back on our free monthly Flying star advice to further analyse these months.

Enhancement summary and advice for the #1 visiting the southwest in 2023

• If you have a bedroom in the southwest in 2023, introduce a brass Wu Lou on your bedside table or under the bed along with white, silver, gold, copper, bronze, black, blue, grey or charcoal bedsheets, a throw or pillows.
• If you do not wish to use a wu lou, you should place a heavy round object close to your bed; a quick, easy cure is to place a good quality frying pan under your bed for the year.
• Place a pair of golden Yufang Fu Dogs in the southwest of your home or office to enhance and protect wealth for the #1 star.
• Please avoid fire and wood colours like green, red, pink, purple, orange or burgundy; blues, blacks, grey or charcoal are good colours to use.
• Avoid earth colours such as brown, terracotta, yellow or beige in the southwest this year.
• Place two Xing Wang Buddhas in the southwest in 2023
• Avoid burning candles in the southwest unless the monthly stars allow this.
• Place a Metal Feng Shui singing bowl in the southwest of your home or workplace to enhance and protect the #1 star.
• Metal objects are very effective when placed in the southwest.
• This is not a good area to place crystals as this will destroy the energy of the #1 star.
• Although they will not be as powerful, you can use round metal shapes as an alternative to Feng Shui items, but please avoid sharp or menacing-looking metal objects.

East (2 Black) - Brings Sickness and Illness.

The east is not a nice area in 2023 as we will have the annual #2 star fall into the same palace as Tai Sui for the year; care will be needed in the east this year to avoid activating these two afflictions, although if you follow the advice below, you will be fine. The east will affect all occupants, particularly males (especially the eldest son), so please provide care to the east in 2023 and prepare early.

Although the annual #2 star and Tai Sui can be treated easily this year, it is very important that this area is not activated with too much loud noise, such as extensive renovations, as this will likely activate the influence that these two afflictions can bring. When activated, Tai Sui and the annual #2 star can bring problems to the entire home, affecting wealth, stress, illness, disease, arguments and general bad luck for the occupants of the building, so please keep this area calm and quiet as much as possible.

If you have a main door in the east of your home or workplace, please avoid slamming the door, as this is one of the easiest ways to activate the #2 and 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.

Renovations should be avoided in the east this year, and this is more so when Tai Sui is located in the same palace as the annual #2. If you cannot avoid loud work in the east this year, try to do this in a month where we have an auspicious monthly star fly-in; the best months for this are in February, March, May, July, October, November and December.

Colour choices for the east in 2023 – white, silver, gold, copper, bronze, black, grey, blue
Colours to avoid in the east in 2023 – green, brown, terracotta, beige, yellow, red, orange, purple, pink, burgundy, lilac
Elements to use in the east in 2023 – Metal and water
Elements to avoid in the east in 2023 – Wood, fire and earth

The best treatment for the east in 2023 would be to place a salt water cure and six Chinese coins tied with a red ribbon and a Pi Shi Tai Sui gold plated plaque to keep this area settled and keep Tai Sui appeased for the year.

Pi Shi is the Tai Sui general for 2023 and falls into the east sector (82.5 – 97.5 degrees) as of the 4th of February 2023, and we must place this cure in the east sector of our home and workplace for the entire year until the 3rd of February 2024. When we disturb Tai Sui, we can manifest all types of problems from disagreements, lawsuits, divorce and many other malicious influences. In 2023, we have Tai Sui fall into the same palace as the annual #2, which can heighten the inauspicious influence in the east when disturbed, making this an imperative area to treat with the appropriate cures and enhancers.

There are sixty different Tai Sui Generals, and during the year of the Yin Water Rabbit, we must place this gold-plated plaque of Pi Shi in the east of our home and workplace as he is the ruling Tai Sui General for 2023. The animals that will be significantly affected by Pi Shi this year are the Rat, Rabbit, Horse, Dragon, Horse and Rooster as they are all in conflict with Tai Sui in different ways and have more chance of disturbing Tai Sui this year. However, this is equally important for the rest of the Chinese zodiac animals, especially the Rabbit in 2023.

If you do not wish to use traditional cures and enhancers in the east for 2023, you can place good quality metal objects and colours that are smooth in shape; try to avoid sharp, pointy metal objects, as this will cause more harm than good.

The #2 star is not a nice one and has the ability to affect the health of those under its influence and will also bring problems to the entire home, involving wealth, stress, illness, disease, arguments and general bad luck for the occupants of the building so please be sure to treat this area with care and attention. This is especially so for people who are a Gua #1, 3, 4 or 9. Check on this page if you do not know your Gua number use our Free Kua Number software, you can calculate your Gua and best directions.

Please avoid any fire and wood colours in the east this year, such as red, orange, pink, purple or green, as these colours will activate the #2 star; if you already have these colours in the east and cannot remove them, introduce metal and water colours to balance the energy here.

Those who spend a lot of time in the east need to take care of their diet this year and could benefit from getting health checks when feeling poorly; this is especially important for pregnant females.

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

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

What is likely to activate the annual #2 star in 2023?

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

Summary for the annual #2 star in the east in 2023:

Please keep the east calm and quiet as much as possible during 2023. If building work has to be done in the east this year, make sure that you have the recommended cures in place before you start the work.

Do not place any fire or wood colours in the east in 2023, such as red, pink, purple or green. Keep doors closed when possible. Place a Pi Shi Tai Sui gold plated plaque, Wu Lou, salt water cure, wealth ingot and six coins here, along with metal ornaments. Use the colours white, silver, gold or copper.

Better months are February, March, May, July, October, November and December.

Take extra care in April, June, August, September and January (2024).

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

• Place a salt water cure in the east during 2023
  Place a Pi Shi Tai Sui gold plated plaque in the east during 2023
• If you do not wish to use traditional Feng Shui cures, you can use any metal ornament as long as it is not sharp or aggressive looking. Although not as effective, believe it or not, a good cure is a round metal dog bowl or weight lifters weights.
• Hang six Chinese coins tied with a red ribbon.
• A good quality brass wealth ingot protects wealth in the east this year.
• A metal singing bowl is very good to place in your home or office.
• Please keep this area as quiet as possible during 2023 to avoid activating the double #2 energy and Sui Po.
• Place a Wu Lou and other metal ornaments to dissipate the negative earth.
• Avoid using red colour in this room and refrain from displaying a triangle shape or fiery pictures.
• Please do not place crystals here, as this will feed the inherent energy of the annual #2
• Avoid candles or bright lights at all costs. Check or upgrade smoke alarms and other fire prevention methods.

South-East (3 Jade) - Brings Hostility and Lawsuits

The annual #3 star has flown into the southeast for 2023, and when disturbed, this can bring all sorts of issues ranging from stress, legal issues, disputes, loss of wealth, theft and arguments. Luckily, this palace can quickly be resolved and kept settled with the proper cures and enhancers.

The best way to avoid activating the annual #3 star is by keeping this area calm and settled. Although it is very unlikely for most people to completely avoid the southeast this year, by being mindful of noise levels and introducing fire and earth cures and colours, we should not see big problems in this area.

If you have an important room in the southeast in 2023, such as an office, bedroom, living room etc., please read the advice below, as frequent interaction in this area can activate the annual #3. All occupants of the home and workplace can be affected by the influence of the southeast this year. However, once activated, females, especially the eldest daughter, will be affected by this inauspicious star.

Colour choices for the southeast in 2023 – red, orange, purple, burgundy, pink, lilac, brown, terracotta, yellow, beige
Colours to avoid in the southeast in 2023 – green, white, silver, gold, copper, bronze, black, grey, blue
Elements to use in the southeast in 2023 – fire and earth
Elements to avoid in the southeast in 2023 – wood, metal and water

If you have a main door in the southeast this year, please try to avoid slamming the door as much as possible and place a Ba Gua mirror above the front door on the outside. It is also wise to avoid renovations, overly loud music, TV and playing children in the southeast as much as possible, as noise and human interaction can bring issues.

To remedy the effects of the annual #3 star in 2023, you should introduce fire and earth cures such as crystals and candles this year to weaken or drain the wood star. Lamps, candles, and led lighting will work well in the southeast this year as the fire energy will weaken the annual star.

The best cure I can recommend for the southeast in 2023 is to place a Paijie laughing protection Buddha; this is a vital and very powerful cure to place in the southeast of your home and workplace during the year of the Rabbit to weaken and control the spiteful energy of the inauspicious annual #3 star.

Please avoid having wood, water or metal cures in the southeast during 2023 as the water will enhance the bad annual star, and the metal will destroy the annual star, which is too strong of an energy and will cause much more severe problems.

If you have a water feature or fish tank in the southeast during 2023, this will enhance the annual #3 star, causing the malevolent influence to strengthen, so please relocate the water feature or fish tank to the south for 2023. If you are unable to move the water, please make sure that you introduce some strong fire colours along with a Paijie laughing protection Buddha near this.

Summary for the annual #3 star in the southeast in 2023:

Please read through all paperwork during 2023 and double-check before signing anything, as the annual #3 star can bring lawsuits, disagreements and general issues with others. Please remember to take care, as a lack of attention could end in a loss of time, energy and resources.

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

Take extra care in February, April, June, July, November and January (2024).

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

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

Centre (4 Green) - Brings Love and Scholastic Luck

In 2023, we have the annual #4 romance star fly into the central palace, which can create a fantastic influence which will flow to the entire building and help to enhance the auspicious stars and weaken the inauspicious stars in other sectors around your home or work place when activated correctly this year.

When the annual #4 star is activated correctly, we can benefit from a lovely influence, creating extremely strong Peach Blossom luck, enhancing love, relationships, career, travel prospects, creativity, academic prospects and self-development.

To enhance this beautiful influence, you should place a Wanshouwujiang Zhenai wish and romance enhancer in the central palace of your home or office during 2023. In 2023, the Wanshouwujiang Zhenai romance and wish enhancer is one of the most crucial cures and enhancers to place in your home or office for Romance and wish manifestation and enhancement. We had this cure specially created and engraved for the year of the Yin Water Rabbit to enhance the annual #4 star, which falls into the central palace.

Any star that falls into the central palace for the year has the ability to permeate the entire home or workplace. When we enhance the annual #4 in the centre in 2023, we can significantly enhance and promote career, wealth, love and academic prospects for the entire year ahead. This special cure and enhancer is essential to ensure, strengthen and protect romance/relationships, career and academics are protected and enhanced in the year of the Rabbit.

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

Colour choices for the centre in 2023 – All shades of Green, blue, black, grey
Colours to avoid in the centre in 2023 – white, silver, gold, copper, bronze, red, orange, purple, burgundy, lilac, pink
Elements to use in the centre in 2023 – Wood and water
Elements to avoid in the centre in 2023 – Metal and Fire

Please take cure when leaving the centre untreated in 2023, as this can attract unwanted attention for all occupants of the home and can lead to separation in relationships and undesirable business contacts. If you are hoping to attract a new partner in love or business in the Rabbit year, the safest and most effective way is to place a Wanshouwujiang Zhenai wish and romance enhancer in the centre this year.

Please do not introduce any fire or metal colours into the centre of your home or work place in 2023, as this will weaken the wood element of the annual #4 star. Good colours in the centre are either green, black, grey or blue. Avoid using orange, red, pink, purple, white, silver, gold, copper and bronze in the centre of your home or work place this year. If you already have these colours and cannot remove them, add water and wood colours and cures to balance the energies.

The centre of your home should be treated as the creativity and relationship area in 2023 and if you have an office or meeting room here, try to use this room as frequently as possible.

The #4 star has the power to increase the chances of producing intelligent children when conceived during the year of the Rabbit, and to increase your chances, I would place a statue of a Tao Hua Yun Mandarin Ducks in the centre of your home or office, especially if you have a bed located here. Another good cure for the centre this year is to place a blue Kwan Yin.

Another powerful cure that you can place to help you conceive a child during 2023 is a bunch of peanuts in shells (monkey nuts or groundnuts) or any seed products such as black or red melon seeds (Gua Zi). In Mandarin, peanuts are called ‘Hua-sheng’, and for the Chinese, this word is onomatopoeic in that the sound of it means ‘the birth of many children’.

When placing them they can be placed anywhere in the bedroom, although I would keep them close to the bedside table. A good alternative if you do not want to display real nuts or if you have an allergy would be to have a pair of mandarin ducks beside your bed.

Summary for the annual #4 star in the centre in 2023:

With the Wanshouwujiang Zhenai wish and romance enhancer in place and some good water or metal colours in the centre of your home or office this year, you should be able to enjoy great rewards and enhance your relationship with others throughout the year of the Rabbit.

The centre of a home or office is a lovely area for anyone interested in writing, art, travel, studies and lifestyle. They should try to spend as much time in the centre this year, especially when working or studying.

Better months are February, April, June, September, October, November and January (2024).

Take extra care in March, May, July, August and December.

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

• Use blue or green in your décor in the southeast of your home or office.
• Place aWanshouwujiang Zhenai wish and romance enhancer in the centre of your home or office in 2023.
• Place a crystal globe on the work desk if you have an office and study in the centre. Blue and green items can be added on the desk, e.g. blue paper, green books etc.
• Avoid displaying too many metal objects in the centre, especially large heavy ornaments such as dumbbells.
• Fresh flowers or small pots of green leafy or flowering plants can be displayed in this spot of the house to lift the qi. Blue or green flowers are a good choice.
• If you have the Taohua mandarin Ducks, this is an excellent area to have them and other symbols of romance like hugging couples.
• Place a Kwan Yin statue in the centre, but please keep it higher than ground level.
• Place photos of loved ones or images of love to enhance relationships or attract new love. This can do with photos, paintings or statues; make sure there is always a pair in the image.

North-West (5 Yellow) - Brings Misfortune and Bad Luck

The annual #5 tragedy star will fly into the northwest palace of every home and workplace on the 4th of February. When activated, this star can bring illness, accidents, fatalities or bankruptcy, making this an extremely important area to treat during 2023. It is worth noting that although the northwest is afflicted in 2023, there are many resolutions for this to make sure that this influence is kept at bay and avoids being activated.

The best solutions for the northwest in 2023 are to introduce good quality metal cures and colours as this will weaken the annual #5 stars earth energy and keep this energy settled. I would also recommend avoiding loud noise in the northwest this year, as this will likely activate the annual #5. The three most potent cures you can use in the northwest in 2023 are a Six-rod hollow metal wind chime, salt water cure and Six Chinese I-Ching coins tied in a row.

Colour choices for the northwest in 2023 – white, silver, gold, copper, bronze, green
Colours to avoid in the northwest in 2023 – Red, orange, purple, burgundy, pink, lilac, brown, terracotta, beige, yellow
Elements to use in the northwest in 2023 – Metal and water
Elements to avoid in the northwest in 2023 – Wood, fire and earth

If you have a bedroom, office, living room, kitchen, or other commonly used room where you spend extended periods of time, the best option would be to avoid this room. However, realistically, if you’re spending time in the northwest in 2023, try to keep noise levels down when possible and make sure you place good quality metal cures and colours.

If you can, avoid any renovation or groundbreaking; 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 2023, I would strongly suggest placing these Cures in the northwest 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 prefer not to work with traditional Feng Shui cures, I would recommend placing some good quality heavy metal items in the northwest of your home or workplace. Great simple metal cures are something like a saucepan, weight-lifting plates or rust-free metal tools. Good shapes associated with the metal element are anything round, such as a saucepan.

A pendulum chiming clock in the northwest 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 northwest this year is a brass Wu Lou or gold-coloured gourd to protect wealth and avoid legal issues and disputes.

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

Please avoid candles and fire colours in the northwest this year as this is one of the quickest ways to activate the annual star with fire enhancing the #5 earth star. If you already have fire colours in the northwest, try to balance the energy by introducing metal cures; if you have a red sofa, you can place a white throw over it to balance the colours. This is not a good area for crystals this year as they will feed the inherent energy of the #5 star.

What is likely to activate the annual #5 star in 2023?

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

Summary for the annual #5 star in the northwest in 2023:

Take extra care in April, June, August, September and January (2024)

Better months are: February, March, May, July, October, November and December

Please avoid activating the negative energy brought on by the annual #5 star with loud noises or groundbreaking in the northwest this year.

Avoid placing fire and earth colours or candles in the northwest 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 northwest in 2023

• Avoid having the TV or radio at too high a volume in the northwest in 2023
• Keep the northwest of your home clear and tidy throughout the year.
• Do not introduce any red or earth colours to the northwest this year. Silver, gold or white beddings and curtains are good colours to use.
• Place a salt water cure in the northwest of the building along with six Chinese coins tied in a row with red ribbon and six hollow metal rod wind chime.
• The six coins in a row and salt cure are crucial cures to place in 2023; please do not forget them.
• Place a Brass Wu-Lou in the northwest, especially if your bedroom falls into this area.
• Avoid fire colours and candles in the northwest this year.
• Tsai Shen Yeh (God of wealth) in gold colour is very effective at reducing the bad earth and protecting your wealth.

West (6 White) - Brings Good Fortune

In 2023, we will have the annual #6 star fly into the west palace, and while this is an auspicious star, we will also have the Three Killings and Sui Po in the same sector, making this a volatile area if left untreated. Luckily, we can still benefit from the auspicious influence of the annual #6 star this year when activating with good quality metal cures.

When activated correctly, the annual #6 star can bring substantial wealth and career luck, especially for those involved in politics, leadership roles, jewellers or anyone in a high-up position.

If you have a door or window that is regularly used, please check over the latches and locks before the New Year and ensure that any old electrical sockets and wiring are upgraded if needed.

Colour choices for the west in 2023 – brown, terracotta, beige, yellow, white, silver, gold, copper, bronze, black, grey, blue
Colours to avoid in the west in 2023 – black, grey, blue, green, red, orange, purple, burgundy, pink, lilac
Elements to use in the west in 2023 – Metal and earth
Elements to avoid in the west in 2023 – Wood, fire and water

Please avoid candles in the west this year, as this will destroy the auspicious energy of the annual #6 star. Good element and colour choices are metal and earth cures. The two most crucial cures to place in the west of your home or office are the Haoyun Zhunian Sheng Chi Cure and two Xing Wang four Buddha of prosperity and luck to feed the inherent energy of the annual #6.

The powerful and traditional Sheng Chi cure must be placed in the home and workplace each year to enhance the auspicious influence of the very auspicious annual #6 star, which for 2023 is in the west; this must be kept in place until the 3rd of February 2024 to enhance and attract wealth luck throughout the year of the Rabbit.

In 2023, the auspicious #6 annual star fall into the west along with the Three Killings and Sui Po. While this area has an auspicious star, we can suffer all sorts of issues if disturbed with two annual afflictions in the same sector and by introducing two of the Xing Wang Buddhas in the west, we will have metal strengthening metal.

The west of my parent’s home is their master bedroom, and the main living room below, which are constantly used by two noisy grandchildren who are always playing in the living room whenever they’re around, this type of noisy activity is likely to aggravate the Three Killings and Sui Po energy and to counteract the energy they will be placing the Haoyun Zhunian Sheng Chi cure at least in the west of their home to avoid activating the wrath of the Three Killings for the year of the Rabbit.

The west also has the annual #6-star fly-in during 2023 and is also afflicted with Sui Po, and this can affect females, especially with regards to the chest, mouth and thighs, so it is essential that we treat this area with care and try to keep noise levels to a minimum to benefit from the energy that the annual star can bring this year. I’ve added a list of what you can and cannot do to give you a better idea of how the Three Killings can be disturbed.

• Installing a pond or swimming pool in the west – not advised and if unavoidable, make sure you place annual Feng Shui cures.
• Using a main door in the west – not advised and if unavoidable, make sure you place annual Feng Shui cures.
• Replacing windows or doors in the west – not advised and if unavoidable, make sure you place annual Feng Shui cures.
• Play drums in the west as loud as possible – not advised and if unavoidable, make sure you place annual Feng Shui cures.
• Drilling into walls in the west (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 west – not advised and if unavoidable, make sure you place annual Feng Shui cures.

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

Although the annual #6 star can positively influence our home and workplace in 2023, please be aware that this star can bring issues related to the liver and legs. If you have a bedroom in the west in 2023, it would be wise to introduce watercolours such as a blue bedsheet.

Summary for the annual #6 star in the west in 2023:

Please keep the west calm and quiet in 2023 to ensure that the Three Killings and Sui Po are not activated. Good colours and elements are earth and metal. A good cure is placing some real quartz or a faceted crystal sphere in the west this year as these are very good for activating this nice star’s wealth and business side.

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

The best months for the west are February, March, April, June, August, November, December and January (2024).

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

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

North-East (7 Red) - Brings Theft, Burglary and Violence

In 2023, we have the #7 argumentative star fly into the northeast of every home and workplace worldwide. When disturbed, this influence can bring problems related to assault, deceit, violence and robbery. The northeast is not a good area for anyone who suffers from lung problems like COPD or asthma, although cures can be placed to dissipate the negative influence, so do not worry.

When the annual #7 star is left untreated, it strengthens the malevolent energy. Without the appropriate cures and enhancers, this star can bring problems related to burglary, deception, copyright theft, gossip and backstabbing from others. To keep this influence calm and under control, we will need to introduce water and wood cures and colours to the northeast this year.

The most effective cure that should be placed in the northeast during 2023 is a Huaxianweiyi rice cure which works by absorbing the negative energy that the annual #7 can bring to a building in a similar way that we use salt water cures.

Colour choices for the northeast in 2023 – green, black, grey, blue
Colours to avoid in the northeast in 2023 – brown, terracotta, beige, yellow, white, silver, gold, copper, yellow, red, orange, burgundy, purple, pink, lilac
Elements to use in the northeast in 2023 – Wood and water
Elements to avoid in the northeast in 2023 – Metal, fire and earth

If you have a main door that falls into the northeast this year, please make sure you hang a Ba Gua wealth protection mirror above the door outside of your home. Try to avoid slamming the door in the northeast, as this is a likely way to activate the energy of the annual #7 star.

When the annual #7 flies into somewhere for the year, this can bring security risk, so it is always wise to make sure that locks and alarms are up to date and working well before the New Year stars so that this risk is kept to a minimum.

I always say that prevention is the best cure, and by checking over your home throughout the year, along with placing the Huaxianweiyi rice cure, you can avoid any potential problems that could incur from the #7 star this year. Do not display any valuable items on windowsills as there is a risk of a passer-by seeing a quick opportunity.

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. Please check over smoke alarms regularly throughout 2023, and if you do not have one in the northeast, please ensure one is installed before the New Year.

It pays to be wise and avoid taking too many risks if you have an essential room in the northeast, 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 northeast in 2023:

Try to keep the northeast of your home calm and quiet throughout 2023 as best as possible. If you have an important room here, it is essential that you place the relevant cures and enhancers here, as frequent human activity can activate the #7 star.

If you have an office or door in the northeast, please be careful of people trying to deceive you, robbery, arguments and loss of wealth. It is important that you double-check paperwork before finalising anything, as this star normally causes problems with people you know and thought you could trust.

Please take extra care during February, June, August, October and November.

Better months are March, April, May, July, September, December and January (2024).

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

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

South (8 White) - Brings Wealth Luck and Prosperity

The annual #8 star will fly into the south palace on the 4th of February 2023, and when activated correctly, all occupants of the home can benefit from tremendous wealth luck this year, especially females of the home or workplace.

As we enter the final year of period 8, the energy of this star will not be as strong, and we will need to enhance this with some powerful earth and fire cures to ensure that we fully benefit from this lovely influence in 2023. This is an excellent location for crystals and candles in 2023, especially if the south of your home or work place falls into a commonly used room such as a bedroom or office.

As with every new Solar year in Feng Shui, you must place a very special Master cure and the most powerful and influential cure, and enhancer is called a Changtong Caibo Yisheng Master Cure and must only be used in a Yin Water Rabbit (Gui Mao) year.

This cure and enhancer is placed to protect and enhance wealth and good luck in 2023, especially for females and the middle daughter in particular. However, the Master cure will benefit all occupants of the home or office and more so if you run a business or work from home.

If your main door is located in the south in 2023, this is good news, as the activity will help to activate and strengthen the annual #8 star. 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.

Suppose the south of your home falls into a bedroom, office, living room or another area with frequent activitiy. In that case, the #8 star can help bring strong luck in wealth, fame, romance, recognition and overall luck to all occupants of the home, making this one of the most important sectors for the year of the Rabbit.

Another essential cure and enhancer for the annual #8 star is to place a Xinglong Zhufu Yiniansiji wealth enhancer which translates to “prosperous blessings all year round”. This cure was created and crafted especially for us to make this cure as powerful as it can be for the home and office in 2023. The Xinglong Zhufu Yiniansiji wealth enhancer is a very powerful earth cure used to enhance the annual #8 star in the south during 2023, and this can absorb negative energy and naturally cleanse itself of the energy over time rather than store it, making the Xinglong Zhufu Yiniansiji wealth enhancer an essential cure to enhance the natural energy of the annual #8 star in 2023.

Although the annual #8 star can bring fantastic luck in 2023, please be away that this can cause occupants to overwork, leading to health issues. It is important to have a good balance in lifestyle and work in 2023, 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 south in 2023 – brown, terracotta, beige, yellow, red, orange, purple, pink, burgundy, lilac
Colours to avoid in the south in 2023 – green, white, silver, gold, copper, bronze, black, grey, blue
Elements to use in the south in 2023 – Earth and Fire
Elements to avoid in the south in 2023 – Metal, Water and Wood

To activate the annual #8 star, you can introduce crystals to the south 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.

This is a very strong wealth, success and romance area for 2023 when activated, so try and store your important financial papers here, like pensions, stock portfolio etc., in the south. 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.

Please take extra care during February, March, July, September, November and December.

The best months are April, May, June, August, October and January (2024).

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

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

North (9 Purple) - Brings Future Prosperity

With period 9 beginning in 2024, we must start fully activating the annual #9 star, which falls into the north in 2023, as this will become the primary wealth star and is becoming much more powerful in the year of the Rabbit.

Throughout period 8, the #9 star has been known as the future wealth star, and in 2023, we will need to take full advantage of this auspicious influence by enhancing the north with fire and wood cures and colours to make sure we can benefit from auspicious wealth luck, fame, acknowledgement, growth and improvement this year.

We can benefit from new career opportunities and promotions when activated with the right fire and wood cures this year. The chances of this will be significantly heightened if you have an office or study in the north of your home or office in 2023. If you do not have an office here, you can still benefit by spending time in this area.

The north is a lovely area in 2023, and I would encourage you to make the most of this area, if possible. For those in studies and anyone who is still working from home, please try to set up your desk in this area, although if the north falls into a bathroom or other room that cannot be used to work in, you can still take calls in this area to benefit from this auspicious influence.

Colour choices for the north in 2023 – Green, red, orange, purple, pink, burgundy, lilac, white, silver, gold, copper, bronze, black, grey, blue
Colours to avoid in the north in 2023 – Brown, terracotta, beige, yellow, white, silver, gold, copper, bronze, black, grey, blue
Elements to use in the north in 2023 – Fire and wood
Elements to avoid in the north in 2023 – Earth, water and metal

The north is a fantastic area for a bedroom during the Rabbit year, and anyone who shares a bedroom in the north with their partner can look forward to good relationships in 2023. However, please ensure that you have read the advice for the annual centre as this will also influence relationships in 2023. Anyone trying to conceive a child in 2023 can heighten their chances when sleeping in the north, especially when they place a Kwan Yin in this area.

With the future primary wealth star flying into the north in 2023, we will need an extremely powerful wealth cure in our home and workplace for the year of the Rabbit to take full advantage of this auspicious influence to make sure that wealth, career, general luck, and growth in all areas of life are as prosperous as possible.

We will be entering period 9 in 2024, which will see the #9 star replace the #8 star as the primary wealth star, and it is extremely important that we take advantage of this auspicious influence before period 9 begins as this will help create an excellent example of things to come. For 2023, we must place the Jubaopen Wealth bowl of fortune and success Talisman in our home and workplace to ensure that wealth and overall luck prospects are as powerful as possible going into period 9.

To enhance the annual #9 in 2022, you should place a Jubaopen Wealth bowl of fortune and success Talisman in the north of your home or workplace, along with some good quality wood and fire cures. This is a great area for candles.

Summary for the annual #9 star in the north in 2023:

Be aware of the negative influences during March, April, August, October, December and January (2024).

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

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

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

Spend as much time as you can reading this report, save it and print it to read at your leisure, as it can save you from many problems. You don’t have to buy any cures and enhancers, and I hope you agree I have always given you alternatives to the traditional cures and enhancers.

The Three Killings – west (232.5 – 307.5)

You must avoid making noisy renovations or re-decorative work in the west part of your home or office between 4th February 2023 and 3rd February 2024. You should not disturb the ground by digging holes (small holes for plants are fine), building foundations or conducting any maintenance work with loud equipment in the areas inside or outside your property or garden.

If you have no option but to perform work in the west in 2023, 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 42 years when this energy has been disturbed.

If you have a door in the west in 2023, 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.

A traditional and powerful Feng Shui cure for the Three Killings during 2023 would be to Haoyun Zhunian Sheng Chi cure in the west from the 3rd February 2023 to the 3rd February 2024.

Urgent repairs to your home or office in the west 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 – Northwest palace

From 4th February 2023, the annual five yellow star flies into the northwest 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 Rabbit.

It is highly recommended that you keep the northwest of your home or office calm and settled as often as possible during 2023 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 northwest to avoid the problems that are associated with the #5 yellow disaster star.

A powerful and vital cure to place in the northwest of your home or office during 2023 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.

Please do not panic if the northwest, southeast, east or west 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 2023 cures and enhancers as of the 4th February to ensure a trouble-free year and also cleanse any old cures that you will be reusing this year.

Tai Sui (The Grand Duke of Jupiter) – east (82.5 – 97.5)

Like the Three Killings, 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 you have a front door in the east during the year of the Rabbit, please try to take care when coming through the door to avoid slamming the door, as this is a sure way to anger Tai Sui. If you have an important room in the east, please try to keep this area calm and quiet in 2023 and avoid digging or renovating in the east this year; using hand tools should be fine as long as you are careful and keep noise levels low. The traditional Chinese method to appease Tai Sui is to place a Pi Shi Gold Plated Tai Sui Plaque to pay respect and appease the Deity and also enhance the annual #8 star.

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

Sui Po (Year Breaker) – west (262.5 º -277.5 º)

Sui Po is the year breaker, and it occupies the compass sector directly opposite Tai Sui Grand Duke, which for 2023 will be in the west, which also houses the annual 6 star. The location that Sui Po is located in for the year should be treated the same way as any other annual affliction, so please avoid too much noise in the west and avoid groundbreaking 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 west of your home or office this year.

Water placement in 2023:

As we are getting closer to the end of period 8 (4th February 2024), the use of water outside is critical up until the end of 2023; a pond/water feature positioned outside in the correct area can work in your favour although you should not site a pond/water feature unless advised by professional Feng Shui consultant, you can, however, safely place water outside in the southwest up until 2024.

Outside water placement in 2023:

Outside water can be positioned in the southwest or east until 2024, although please only do so if you have been advised by a Feng Shui master who knows your fixed Flying star chart. Outside water will work well in the south as we have the annual #8 star located here, although you should make sure that you have a good understanding of the natal chart of your home or workplace before placing outdoor water here in 2023.

Indoor water placement for 2023:

If you have a water feature or fish tank that you want to place inside your home or workplace during 2023, the best area for this would be in the south, where the annual #8 star is located for the Rabbit year.

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.

Whilst water use is considered safe in the right conditions, there are many exceptions to the placement of water. As Master Practitioners and teachers, we use many more methods of water placement for wealth, education and relationship. These methods, whilst extremely powerful, can only be used with expert guidance and a full analysis of your property and land formations.

Salt water cure placement for 2023:

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-one 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.

Salt water cure after just 4 weeks.

You should place a Salt Water Cure in the east and northwest of your home and office from the 4th of February 2023 to weaken and control the annual #2 and #5. Please do not try to reuse the coins from last year’s cure or coins from other cures, as they should be replaced when setting up a new cure. Please ensure you use six Chinese I-Ching coins for your salt water cure and that they come from a good dynasty.

When we are working with the flying stars, there will be many different circumstances to how the stars will affect each building; for example, If you have an annual #5 in your open plan living room during 2023, the energy from the #5 yellow’s presence can flow into another area of the home or office so it is always best to treat the hostile areas rather than take an out of sight, out of mind approach; having the annual #5 in a broom cupboard or lesser-used room is very good as the chances of activating this star are a lot less likely although it is still vital to treat. If possible, it is always preferable to avoid rooms with negative stars, although I would still recommend placing the necessary Cures and Enhancers for 2023.

Annual Flying Star analysis for 2023, the year of the Yin Water Rabbit (Gui Mao)

As you read through the analysis for the 2023 Flying stars, it is worth going into each room to see how your existing decorations could have an impact against the advice given for the year ahead; if you had a bright red throw on your sofa in the northwest where the annual #5 star is located, it would be wise to remove this and place a metal coloured throw in its place to weaken the inauspicious annual star. If you had a gas hob in the southwest, which cannot be avoided, you can place metal cures here to balance the energy for the year.

The analysis has a considerable amount of information. I’d recommend printing this off or saving the page so you can check back over it when applying the changes for the year of the Rabbit.

When you first read the advice below, it may seem as though this year will bring lots of problems, although you will soon realise that there are many ways to control the negative influences and enhance the positive ones, making the most out of the year of the Rabbit.

With regards to the arrangement of the Xuan Kong Flying stars in 2023, we will have the #8 wealth star fly into the south, and it is wise to make the most of this influence this year, especially if you have an important room here as this is the final year with the #8 as the primary wealth star. To activate the annual #8 star with earth and fire cures and colours this year, two potent enhancers for the #8 star this year are the Changtong Caibo Yisheng Master Cure, and the Xinglong Zhufu Yiniansiji wealth enhancer, as these two cures are extremely powerful during the Rabbit year.

With period 9 just around the corner, we must now start taking advantage of the annual #9 star, as this will become the new primary wealth star when period 9 begins in 2024. The most effective cure for the annual #9 star is to place a Jubaopen Wealth bowl of fortune and success Talisman in the north in 2023.

Annual and Monthly Flying Stars Feng Shui Charts for the Yin Water Rabbit Year 2023

	Flying Star Feng Shui Charts provide vital information to take note of as it involves the way luck changes from year to year. The annual stars change its positions on a yearly basis while monthly stars shift their sectors every month. The optimal way to update your feng shui is to pay attention to their position changes in order to make the most out of the auspicious stars and suppress the bad energies brought by the malignant stars. Below are the complete charts for the Annual and Monthly Flying Star of the 2023 Yin Water Rabbit Year. The numbers on the left in the 9 grids of the charts below indicate the annual star while the numbers on the right indicate the monthly star. Use a good compass to accurately determine the direction of your home. Then refer to the chart below to look out for good or bad sectors of the month and take the necessary steps to suppress the inauspicious stars or enhance the auspicious ones. When the combination of the annual star and monthly star in a compass sector is made up of the good stars (8, 6 and 1), the particular sector is said to very auspicious and will bring lots of good luck to its occupant. But when the bad stars congregate in the same sector, it's important that you vacate the room for the month. If this cannot be done, you must install Feng Shui cures to suppress them or they will bring misfortunes of the most severe kind. However, you do not have to worry if the bad stars fly into a storeroom, toilet, garage or a missing corner because its negative effect is said to be contained and dissolved. The effect, whether good or bad, is lesser when the number appears alone. The #1 star brings career luck in promotions and recognition. The #2 star brings illnesses, diseases, ailments and fatal health problems. The #3 star brings quarrels, negative encounters, lawsuits and court case. The #4 star brings literary and love luck. The #5 star brings bad luck of all kinds, financial loss, accidents, misfortunes, mishaps, fights and death. The #6 star brings luck from heaven with plenty of success and helpful people. The #7 star brings severe bad luck (violence, burglary and bloodshed). The #8 star brings wealth, prosperity, and lots of money luck. The #9 star doubles the good luck or bad luck brought by the other star.

The Annual Xuan Kong/Flying Stars apply to all homes, regardless of the Time Period in which they were built. The Annual Stars can act as catalysts or triggers within each compass sector, and you should examine their interaction with the natal Xuan Kong probability combination of the Siang Sin, Main Star and Chor Sin within each compass sector to determine how strong or weak the annual influence may be. It also helps to look ahead at the monthly flying stars to see when the annual positive and negative factors will be doubled or enhanced by monthly stars.
