The 4th of February 2012 marks the 1st day of the Chinese Solar year of "Ren Chen" or the Water Dragon. It is also known as "Arrival of Spring" or "Li Chun" and it is a significant in Feng Shui as it marks the change of energy or "qi" of the Nine Stars.
The Nine Stars is a set of energies each represented by a number from 1 to 9. Each year the energies move about in a pre-determined pattern and affect different sectors of the house or office. The energies can be classified as auspicious or inauspicious and has a specific influence. For example one can influence wealth luck positively while another increases the chances of sickness. I will explain each of these energies in more detail later in this article.
In the New Year, Tai Sui or the Grand Duke moves to the SE1 sector. Houses or offices that face SE1 of have main doors that face SE1 are influenced negatively by the Grand Duke. If your house faces Tai Sui or SE1, you should not carry out any ground breaking or major renovations. The penalties for violating Tai Sui are usually people related problems such as litigation, troublesome people, back stabbing etc. They are always annoying but seldom life threatening. The opposite sector to Tai Sui (NW1) is Sui Poh or Year Breaker. You should avoid renovating this sector as well.
San Sha or Three Killings - Robbery Killing, Disaster Killing and Year Killing - affect houses that sit on SE3, S1, S2, S3 and SW1. The restrictions on construction work for Three Killings are similar to Tai Sui. No building or renovation for houses that sits on Three Killings. For other houses just avoid working at the afflicted sectors. If you must, then start work in an unaffected sector, then carry on in the afflicted sector and finally end the renovation in an unaffected sector. The penalties for violating Three Killings are as the name implies, robbery, injury, disaster, accidents, obstacle and illness.
| Do not renovate house if it | And the reason is |
|---|---|
| Faces SE1 | Faces Tai Sui |
| Sits SE | Sits on 5 Yellow |
| Sits SE3, S and SW1 | Sits on 3 KIllings |
Five Yellow occupies the SE sector. If you house sit SE (faces NW) then your house is said to violate the Five Yellow. To be safe you should not carry out ground breaking or major construction work anywhere in the house throughout the year. For other houses, do not renovate the SE sector. If you must, then start work in an unaffected sector, gradually progress into the SE and then end in an unaffected sector. The penalties for violating the Five Yellow could be bodily injuries and financial loss. Of the three – Tai Sui, Three Killings and Five Yellow – it is the most serious. Some practitioners recommend placing metal items in the SE sector to control the Five Yellow. I recommend you take the safe approach by not violating the sector.
Now let us look at the distribution of the nine stars in 2012.
| South East 5 Danger | South 1 Achievement & Reputation (3 Killings) | South West 3 Disputes & Litigation |
| East 4 Study & Relationships | Center 6 Power & Authority | West 8 Wealth & Success |
| North East 9 Celebration | North 2 Illness | North West 7 Losses & Accidents |
The auspicious 9 star occupy the north east sector. This star is associated with opportunities, hopes and happy events such as a child birth or promotion. It is highly auspicious if you main door or places that you occupy is in this sector.
The auspicious 8 star occupy the west sector. This star is associated with wealth and success. It is highly auspicious if you main door or bedroom is in this sector. Try to spend more time in this sector if you can. You can increase your luck by placing a small water feature in this sector.
The auspicious 6 star occupies the center. This star is associated with authority and power. It is good for those in position of power such as managers, politicians, military and police personnel. You can enhance this sector by placing some metal items here.
The auspicious 1 star occupies the south sector. This star is associated with achievement, reputation and recognition. Again it is highly auspicious if your main door, bedroom or study is located in this sector. You can enhance this sector with a jar or vase of water.
The 4 star associated with scholastic achievement and relationship occupies the east sector. Those seeking to enhance their scholastic achievement, seeking life partner to enhancing relationships with love ones should try to occupy this sector. You can enhance this sector with a small water feature or some indoor plants.
The 3 star associated with disputes, misunderstanding, quarrels and litigation occupies the south west sector. If you bedroom is in the south west, try to move to another room. Please remove sharp and dangerous objects from this sector. If you spend a lot of time in this sector, you should make s conscious effort to control your temperament and think carefully before you speak. You can place some earthenware items or red color items e.g. carpet to manage the energy here.
The number 2 or illness star occupies the north sector. This is an inauspicious energy and brings illness, disease and mental stress to the occupants of this sector. Those with weak health, recovering from an ailment and who are pregnant should not sleep in this sector. You can place some metal item e.g. metal vase to manage the energy here.
The highly inauspicious star 7 that is associated with great losses, serious accidents, robbery and violence occupies the northwest sector. You should avoid this sector if possible. Store away any sharp or dangerous objects and exercise caution if you are operating machinery in this sector. Pregnant women should also avoid this sector.
The number 5 star (Five Yellow) is in the south east. Do not activate this sector. Avoid any ground breaking work, renovation works and noisy maintenance work. The negative energy if activated can bring danger to the occupants. If possible do not occupy this room during the entire period of this year. You can place some metal items e.g. wind chime to manage the energy here.
To identify the various sectors in the house, place a compass in the center of the house. The red tip of the compass needle points to north. Opposite is the south sector and so on.
