The Feng Shui New Year begins on February 4th, 2026, marking the start of the Year of the Yang Fire Horse (丙午年）. This year promises intense energy, transformation, and rapid momentum. It is a year characterized by bold action and passion, but it also requires grounding to avoid impulsiveness and volatility.

To navigate this dynamic energy, practitioners use the Flying Star system. These stars represent invisible energy patterns that shift positions in your home or office annually, influencing everything from wealth and health to relationships and career outcomes.

Below is a detailed guide to the 2026 Flying Stars chart, analyzing the lucky sectors to activate and the unlucky sectors to cure.

Important Note: The 2026 Annual Afflictions

Before enhancing lucky areas, it is crucial to first neutralize negative energies. In 2026, specific directions are affected by major afflictions and should remain relatively quiet. Avoid renovations, digging, or loud noises in these sectors.

• Grand Duke Jupiter (Tai Sui) - SOUTH: Located in the South (specifically South 2), Tai Sui should not be confronted. It is best to sit with your back to the South and avoid facing it directly during important activities.

• Year Breaker (Sui Po) - NORTH: Located opposite Tai Sui in the North (North 2), this area should be kept quiet to avoid disrupting energy.

• Three Killings (San Sha) - NORTH: This affliction covers the entire Northern sector in 2026. Keep this area calm.

Below are the 2026 Feng Shui Flying Stars direction based on the inauspicious and auspicious sectors.

The Inauspicious Flying Stars of 2026 (Need Remedies)

These sectors host negative stars this year. The goal is to weaken their effects using elemental cures.

South: The #5 Misfortune Star (Five Yellow)

This is the most dangerous star of the year, bringing bad luck, accidents, sudden illness, and major obstacles.

• Why it’s critical in 2026: The #5 is an Earth star flying into a Fire sector (South). Fire strengthens Earth, making the Misfortune Star particularly potent and harmful this year. The South also hosts the Tai Sui affliction.

• The Cure: Avoid activating this area with bright lights or fire energy. Introduce heavy Metal cures, such as a 6-rod hollow metal windchime or brass objects, to drain the malicious Earth energy. Keep the area quiet.
  

Northwest: The #2 Illness Star

This star brings sickness and low vitality.

• Area of concern: In 2026, it affects the Northwest, the sector representing the patriarch or leader of the household/business. If the head of the family falls ill, it impacts everyone.

• The Cure: Use strong Metal elements to weaken the #2 Earth star. A brass Wu Lou (gourd) is the traditional remedy here. Remove any large fire or water features from this sector.
  

Southwest: The #7 Robbery and Betrayal Star

The #7 star is associated with violence, theft, burglary, and betrayal.

• Why it’s strong: The #7 is a Metal star flying into an Earth sector (Southwest). Earth produces Metal, strengthening this negative star and increasing risks of loss or scams.

• The Cure: Use the Water element to weaken the aggressive Metal energy. A still water feature (yin water), or blue and black decor items, are recommended remedies.
  

West: The #3 Quarrelsome Star

This star brings disputes, arguments, gossip, and potential legal issues.

• The Cure: The #3 is a Wood star. Use Fire energy to exhaust it. Red items, such as a red lamp, red cushions, or bright lights, will help burn away the conflict energy.
  

The Auspicious Flying Stars of 2026 (Activate for Luck)

These sectors are blessed with positive energy. Spend more time in these areas or use enhancers to boost their luck.

Southeast: The #9 Current Prosperity Star

In Period 9 (2024–2043), the #9 star is the most auspicious, ruling wealth, immediate opportunities, recognition, and happiness.

• Why it’s powerful: It flies into the Southeast, a Wood sector. Wood feeds the Fire element of the #9 star, creating an incredibly strong productive relationship for rapid business growth and successful ventures.

• How to Enhance: Activate this area with light and activity. Healthy green plants (Wood) or a small water feature can be used to attract prosperity.
  

Center: The #1 Victory Star

The #1 star occupies the heart of the home in 2026, bringing luck for victory, career success, and breakthroughs over the competition.

• How to Enhance: As this is the center, keep it clutter-free to allow energy to circulate. Some practitioners suggest using Metal or Water elements, such as a victory horse figurine, to boost this star's success energy.
  

North: The #6 Heaven Luck Star

This star brings windfalls, help from noblemen (mentors), and overall good fortune.

• Caution: While the star is lucky, remember that the North is also afflicted by the Three Killings and Year Breaker.

• How to Enhance: Activate this area gently. Use metal objects to support the #6 Metal star, but avoid loud renovations or noisy active features due to the afflictions present.
  

Northeast: The #4 Academic and Romance Star

This star governs scholastic success, creativity, and relationship luck.

• How to Enhance: To boost academic or creative pursuits, place healthy green plants (Wood element) here. For romance, water features or symbols of love can be utilized.
  

East: The #8 Wealth Star

While its power has weakened in Period 9, the #8 star still brings steady wealth luck and prosperity.

• How to Enhance: Fire or Earth elements can be used here to support this Earth star, such as crystals or warm lighting.
