Feng Shui 2027: the Flying Star Chart of the Fire Goat Year
In Flying Star Feng Shui (玄空飞星) the nine stars move to a new sector of the compass every year, and the annual chart is what most yearly Feng Shui advice is built on. The 2027 chart takes effect at Lichun, 4 Feb 2027, 09:46 (Beijing time, UTC+8), not at Chinese New Year (6 February 2027), and lasts until Lichun 2028.
2027 is the 丁未 year of the Fire Goat, and its central star is 9 Purple (九紫右弼). The rule behind the chart is simple: the centre star is fixed by the year (star 9 in 2027, one lower each year), and the other eight stars fly forward through the Lo Shu path — Northwest, West, Northeast, South, North, Southwest, East, Southeast — each one higher than the last.
The three sectors to treat with care in 2027 are the North (Five Yellow), the West (Two Black, the Sickness Star) and the Northeast (Three Jade, quarrels); the three to use are the Southeast (Eight White, wealth), the Centre (Nine Purple, celebration) and the Northwest (One White, career). On top of the stars, the Tai Sui sits in the South-southwest, Sui Po in the North-northeast and the Three Killings in the West.
The 2027 annual Flying Star chart
Laid out the traditional way: South at the top, North at the bottom.
| Sector | Trigram | Star | Theme | Traditional advice |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Centre | — | 9 Purple 九紫右弼 | celebration, romance, future prosperity | The Celebration Star: favourable for weddings, births and long-term projects; some earth (ceramics) here is the classical way to hold its energy. |
| Northwest | Qian 乾 | 1 White 一白贪狼 | career, nobility, new beginnings | A supportive star: suitable for a study or the main door; a small water feature or blue/black tones are the classical enhancers. |
| West | Dui 兑 | 2 Black 二黑巨门 | illness (Sickness Star) | The Sickness Star: keep this sector quiet and tidy; the classical cure is metal (a brass or copper object, a metal wind chime), and it is not a sector for the bedroom of anyone unwell. |
| Northeast | Gen 艮 | 3 Jade 三碧禄存 | quarrels, disputes, lawsuits | The Quarrelsome Star: avoid loud activity and arguments here; red or fire tones are the traditional weakener; not the place for a home office where contracts are signed. |
| South | Li 离 | 4 Green 四绿文曲 | study, romance, creativity | The Academic and Romance Star: suitable for a desk or a child's study; fresh plants or green tones are the classical enhancers. |
| North | Kan 坎 | 5 Yellow 五黄廉贞 | misfortune (Five Yellow) | The Five Yellow — the most feared annual star: no renovation, digging or drilling in this sector all year; keep it quiet; the classical cure is heavy metal (a six-coin string or a brass gourd); no red or fire here. |
| Southwest | Kun 坤 | 6 White 六白武曲 | authority, windfalls, helpful people | The Authority Star: supportive for leadership and unexpected help; keep it bright and uncluttered. |
| East | Zhen 震 | 7 Red 七赤破军 | loss, theft, robbery | The Robbery Star: check locks and windows on this side; still water or dark blue tones are the traditional weakener; no sharp metal objects. |
| Southeast | Xun 巽 | 8 White 八白左辅 | wealth, property | The Wealth Star of the current period: the best sector of the year for the main door, living room or office; earth tones and crystals are the classical enhancers. |
