đ Annual Feng Shui: The Yearâs Energy Weather Report
Imagine the sky is like a giant game board. Every year, invisible âenergy playersâ move to new spots on this board. Some players are friendly helpers. Others are grumpy troublemakers. Annual Feng Shui is learning where these players sit each yearâso you can play nicely with the helpers and stay away from the grumps!
đŻ The Big Idea (In One Sentence)
Each year, special energies fly to different corners of your home and workspace. Know where they land, and you can invite good luck while avoiding bad vibes!
Think of it like weather forecasting, but for invisible energy. Just like you check if it will rain before going outside, you check the Feng Shui forecast before rearranging furniture or starting big projects.

2ď¸âŁ Grand Duke Jupiter (Tai Sui): The Yearâs Big Boss
The Story
Imagine thereâs a powerful king who visits a different part of your home every year. He stays for 12 months. This king is called Tai Sui (say it: âtie-swayâ).
Hereâs the rule: Never poke the king in the face!
What This Means
- Donât sit FACING the Tai Sui direction (youâre staring at the kingârude!)
- Donât do noisy construction in his area (youâre disturbing his sleep)
- Donât dig the ground where he sits (youâre kicking his chair)
Where Does Tai Sui Sit?
Each Chinese zodiac year, Tai Sui sits in that animalâs direction:
| Year | Animal | Tai Sui Direction |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | Dragon | Southeast (SE1) |
| 2025 | Snake | Southeast (SE3) |
| 2026 | Horse | South |
| 2027 | Goat | Southwest |
The Golden Rule
Sit WITH your back to Tai Sui, so youâre facing AWAY from him. This way, he supports your back like a powerful bodyguard!
Simple Example
In 2025 (Snake year), Tai Sui is in Southeast. If your desk faces Southeast, move it! Instead, sit so Southeast is BEHIND youânow Tai Sui pushes you forward to success!
3ď¸âŁ Three Killings (San Sha): The Triple Trouble Zone
The Story
The Three Killings is like a grumpy three-headed monster. It brings THREE types of bad luck:
- Money loss đ¸
- Relationship problems đ
- Accidents or illness đ¤
The Opposite Rule
Hereâs the tricky partâThree Killings has the opposite rule from Tai Sui:
| Tai Sui | Three Killings |
|---|---|
| Donât FACE it | Donât have it at your BACK |
| Sit with back TO it | Sit FACING it |
Where Is Three Killings Each Year?
| Year Type | Three Killings Location |
|---|---|
| Monkey, Rat, Dragon years | SOUTH |
| Pig, Rabbit, Goat years | WEST |
| Tiger, Horse, Dog years | NORTH |
| Snake, Rooster, Ox years | EAST |
Simple Example
2025 is a Snake year, so Three Killings is in the EAST. Donât sit with East behind your back! Instead, FACE Eastâlook the monster in the eyes, and it canât sneak up on you.
4ď¸âŁ Five Yellow (Wu Wang): The Biggest Troublemaker
The Story
Remember Star 5 from the Flying Stars? Itâs SO bad, it gets its own special name: Five Yellow or Wu Wang.
Think of Five Yellow as a sleeping dragon. If youâre quiet, it sleeps peacefully. But if you make noise, dig, or disturb its area⌠ROAR! đ Bad luck wakes up!
The Danger Zone Rules
- NO renovations in Five Yellowâs area
- NO digging (no planting, no construction)
- NO loud noises (no parties, no drilling)
- Keep it QUIET and STILL
Where Is Five Yellow Each Year?
| Year | Five Yellow Location |
|---|---|
| 2024 | West |
| 2025 | West |
| 2026 | Northeast |
| 2027 | South |
The Cure
If you MUST use that room, place metal objects there. Metal weakens the Five Yellow. Some people use:
- Metal wind chimes (but silent onesâno noise!)
- Six metal coins
- Metal Wu Lou (gourd shape)
Simple Example
In 2025, Five Yellow is in the West. Donât start building a home gym in your West room! Keep that area peaceful. Put six Chinese coins tied with red string to calm the energy.
