In short: Especially good this year: North (6), Northeast (4), East (8), Southeast (9) and Centre (1). Keep calm: South (5), Northwest (2), West (3) and Southwest (7).
Every year the numbers 1 to 9 are redistributed over the areas of your home. The number shows how an area feels this year. The change happens every year around 4 February (Chinese start of spring).
- North · 6 – Support and authority – good for work and decisions.
- Northeast · 4 – Learning and creativity – good for desk and study.
- East · 8 – Prosperity and stability – use this area actively.
- Southeast · 9 – Joy, celebrations and encounters – good for parties and guests.
- South · 5 – Five Yellow, the most difficult annual star: traditionally avoid renovating, drilling or digging here and keep it calm; metal is the classic remedy.
- Southwest · 7 – Loss and theft: traditionally still water or the colour blue helps; secure valuables.
- West · 3 – Quarrel star: traditionally red and candlelight (fire) calm the tension.
- Northwest · 2 – Illness star: keep the area calm, avoid sleeping there if possible; traditionally metal (e.g. brass) is recommended.
- Centre · 1 – Luck for career and new contacts – use this area often.
This interpretation renders the traditional teaching in plain words. It is guidance, not a prediction and no substitute for professional advice.
Stand in the centre of your home and find the directions with a compass. The number of each area shows what is at work there this year. The change happens every year around 4 February.
