Meaning of the flying stars system

The astrological prediction system of the 9 flying stars used in Feng Shui differs somewhat from Chinese astrology, although it also uses the 5 elements of Wu Xing, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood.

Each star is represented by a number from 1 to 9. They have their own functions and change cells every year from the fixed date of February 4, to occupy a new location within the standard Luo Shu square. Their year-to-year mobility within the Luo Shu square is at the origin of their name of the 9 flying stars. In addition, each star is also associated with one of the five elements in its Yin or Yang form (with its corresponding colors). In the case of an activation or weakening of a sector, the interaction of the element of the standard Lo Shui square and the superimposed star is analyzed in order to apply the most appropriate solution.

Feng Shui cure and remedy techniques

In order to activate and exploit the positive effects (but also to avoid the negative effects) of the sites (locations) and directions of the current year and apply them to the house according to traditional Feng Shui techniques, it is necessary to analyze the type of interaction created during the meeting between the flying star and the fixed number of the standard magic square. When it is a positive interaction in a sector, the life aspiration related to the sector concerned can be activated. On the other hand, when it comes to a destructive relationship between the flying star’s element and the Lo Shu standard square’s element, then it becomes important to place a Feng Shui remedy in order to neutralize and balance the resulting negative effects of the opposition between these elements.

The Afflictions: Direction of the harmful stars in 2023

During the Feng Shui year 2023, it is advisable to avoid any activity, renovation or lasting presence (more than 2 hours) in the following sectors:

• In 2023, Grand Duke Jupiter (Tai Sui) is in the East sector, from 75° to 105°: This star represents worries, material losses, obstacles and illness. Although this star is symbolically associated with Jupiter, its location corresponds to the Chinese zodiac sign governing the year (in 2023, the Rabbit) and not to that of the planet.
• In 2023, the Year Breaker (Sui Po) is in the West sector, from 255° to 285°: This star (related to Mercury) represents loss of money, obstacles, illnesses and disappointments.
• In 2023, the Three Killings (or Three Massacres, San Sha) are in the West sector, from 225° to 285°: This star represents theft (scams), disasters (health problems) and professional setbacks.
• In 2023, the Five Yellow (which corresponds to the flying star #5 of Bad Luck and Saturn) is in the Northwest sector, from 292.5° to 337.5°. This star represents worries in the fields of money, feelings or health. Very harmful, this star is synonymous with accident, loneliness, misfortune and depression. However, when the Five Yellow finds itself in a central position, its negative effects are mitigated. The main objective is therefore to stay on the move as much as possible when you are in this sector rather than trying to avoid occupying it at all costs.
