2024 Annual Flying Stars Feng Shui Cures and Forecast

Before I go any further, I trust all my readers have enjoyed a safe and prosperous year by following my 2023 annual Flying Stars feng shui advice!

2024, the year of the Dragon (甲辰龍年), is extraordinary because this is the commencing year of Period Nine (九運 2024 - 2043) in Feng Shui. This represents a new set of changes and chi patterns in Feng Shui. Therefore, I will post another article on Period Nine under a separate cover, which will shed some insights into how it will affect our daily lives and the world's influences. Please stay tuned!

In 2024, Tai Shui () will be located in the SE sector; therefore, try to avoid significant construction works in this area, and this also applies to the South sector where the San sha (三煞) star is located.

Regarding the auspicious time in placing the feng shui enhancement/cure, it is ideal to commence on Feb 10, 2-024, at 7 – 9 am or 3 – 5 pm.

Center Palace (中宮方) – Three Green Jade Wood Star (三碧禄存星)

This star will bring conflicts, gossip and lawsuits to the family. To counteract its effects, putting fire element objects in the center of the house, main bedroom and office is good. One of the most effective items I frequently recommend is a red light (must be on 24/7). Other favourable items are a red carpet or nine (9) numbers of Chinese red envelopes (利是封).

It is essential to keep this area bright and clean and avoid too many wood elements, such as green plants and books.

East Sector (正東方) – One White Water Star (一白貪狼星)

In 2024, the One White Water star flew to the East sector. This star is favourable for bringing romance, nobleman (貴人), and career luck; this effect is much more potent because it will enhance the wood element of the East sector, which enhances romance/marriage, carer luck, and fame.

 For romance luck, you can put flowers like roses and peach trees. To attract side-money luck like stock investing, lottery luck, etc., a gold or metal pixiu ()feng shui figurine is ideal in the East sector of the house or the crucial rooms. If this is too difficult, another alternative enhancement tool is to put one (1) number of dark round marble or stone pebbles in a bottle of clean water (make sure that the water is always clean and at least ¾ full all the time, and put it in the East sector. This is critical, especially on an east-facing entrance door.

One important thing to remember is to avoid exposing sharp metal objects like scissors or knives in this area, like the kitchen; they must be put inside the cabinet. Otherwise, it will cause relationship problems and conflicts among the family members.

SE sector (東南方) – Two Dark Earth Stars (二黑巨門星)

The Two Dark Earth Stars will be in the SE sector. This star is considered one of the most vicious stars in Feng Shui. If treated correctly in feng shui, it will result in good health and misfortune.

This is important, especially if it is the kitchen area or where the refrigerator or dining table is located.

One of the most effective cures is to hang eight (8) old Chinese coins and a metal Wu-lo in this area. If you are following my advice that you used it the previous year, you can reuse it after cleaning it with salt water and dry it under the sun for 24 hours.

Avoid too many Fire elements or red objects in this area, as this will enhance the effects of the star. Also, ensure the SE area of the house is clean, bright, good circulation and dry.

NW sector – (西北方) – Four Green Wood Star (四綠文曲星)

The Four Green Wood Star is located in the NW sector. This star is favourable for scholar, career and fame luck. However, its energy will be subdued by the metal chi of the NW sector because metal destroys wood. This will cause health issues. Therefore, some water elements are needed to neutralize this effect.

Suppose there are students in the family. In that case, I recommend putting a metal feng shui 9-storey pagoda (文昌塔) and four bamboo stems in water in this area or at the top left corner of the study/office desk to enhance the examination and career luck in 2024.

West sector – (正西方) – Five Yellow Earth Star (五黄廉貞星)

Every year, I will spend more time discussing the Five Yellow Earth Star in my forecast because this is the most vicious star in Xuan Kong Flying Stars Feng Shui. It will cause serious accidents, major disasters, and even death. Thus, proper and effective cures shall be applied in our homes and offices. Especially for a west-facing entrance door house.

In 2024, it is not auspicious to have significant renovation work and to avoid too many red or yellow colours items in the West area of the house/office.

In Feng Shui, the Western sector of the Ba Gua is associated with the female members and the household’s youngest daughter; its metal element represents the body’s lungs, intestines, and nose. Thus, proper Feng Shui cures must be applied, especially if the youngest girl’s bedroom is in the house's western area.

My faithful readers are familiar with the most effective feng shui cure I recommend in my past annual Flying Stars forecasts, placing six (6) old Chinese coins in the sector where the yearly Five Yellow Earth Star is located. Frankly, this is what I also applied in my own house. Technically speaking, you are relocating it to the West sector from last year. Remember that it must be appropriately cleaned with salt water before using it again. Also, if the bedroom is located in the West sector, you can add a meta-Wu-lo to enhance its effects. Also, you can apply the same in the West area of the office.

Ensuring this area is clean, clutter-free, bright and dry is vital. Also, remove excessive fire element objects and colours. In addition, in 2024, it is not proper for a pregnant woman to spend too much time in the West area of the house as it may affect the health of both the mother and the fetus.

 NE sector – (東北方) – Six White Metal Star (六白武曲星)

The Six White Metal Star will fly to the NE sector this year. This auspicious star will bring side-money luck, such as stock investment and lottery wins. Choosing the NE direction and countries is adventurous if you plan to do some foreign business opportunities.

Therefore, I will recommend putting a metal Chi-Lin (麒麟) or Pi-Yao (貔貅) feng shui figurine in the NE sector of the house/office. If you have some lucky feng shui items like money trees, etc., it is a proper place to place them (make sure it is cleaned with salt water).

As always, any money sector in the house should be bright and clutter-free, and it is not ideal to have too many Fire-element items or colours in this area.

South Sector – (正南方) – Seven Red Metal Star (七赤破軍星)

In 2024, the annual Seven Red Metal Star will be in the South sector. This star will bring conflicts, warfare and accidents (especially car accidents for a South facing house). In addition, this will also cause respiratory diseases.

Therefore, avoiding meetings or negotiating places in the southern sectors is recommended because it may cause disagreement or conflicting ideas.

The ideal cure is applying the Feng Shui idea of “metal carrying water” (水洩金) to dissipate its energy. The most effective remedy is to put a bottle or jar of clean water in this area. The water must be clean and packed all the time.

Last but not least, ensure that all sharp metal objects are put away in this area, which must be cluttered-free and bright.

North Sector – (正北方) – Eight White Earth Star (八白佐輔星)

The most promising Eight White Earth Star is located in the North sector. This star will bring continued monetary luck and fortune.

Therefore, it is vital to keep this area clean and clutter-free. Auspicious Feng Shui artifacts and items— money trees, fish tanks, etc.- are ideal for this area to enhance its effects.  

South West sector – (西南方) – Nine Purple Fire Star (九紫右弼星)

In 2024, the Nine Purple Fire Star flew to the SW sector. This star will foster romance, nobleman, and happiness. Therefore, the SW area of the house must be kept clean and cluttered to not disrupt this star's positive effects.

Placing/applying fire element objects and colours in this area will surely enhance its energy. Some examples are red carpets, lights, and red flowers (a total number of nine), perfect enhancement feng shui arrangements in the southwest area of the house.

To conclude, I would like to stress that we must have a positive mindset when placing the above feng shui arrangements and make sure that the concept of “less is more” is applied.

Lastly, I want to wish my readers and their loved ones a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous 2024, Year of the Dragon!
