Where not to break ground in 2032

  • Northwest
    • Five YellowThe year's most hazardous sector: keep it still and empty
  • North
    • Grand Duke (Tai Sui)Sit with it behind you, never face it, and break no ground
  • South
    • Year Breaker (Sui Po)Directly opposite the Grand Duke, so no renovation here either
    • Three Killings (San Sha)Face it, never sit with it behind you, and break no ground

The Five Yellow comes from the flying star chart, while the Grand Duke, the Year Breaker and the Three Killings come from the year's earthly branch. The two systems are worked out separately, so in some years they stack on the same direction. Sit with the Grand Duke behind you but never face it; face the Three Killings but never sit with them behind you. None of the four takes renovation or drilling.

How the chart is worked out, and where it moves next

Reset the cures at each Lichun, because last year's placements no longer match the new chart. Run the two rules below forward and you have next year: in 2033 the Five Yellow moves from the Northwest to the West, and Eight White, the wealth star, moves from the South to the North.

  1. 1

    The central star drops by one each year, and after one it returns to nine.

  2. 2

    The other eight palaces drop by one with it, so every star changes sector each year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are the Five Yellow and Two Black in 2032, and how do you cure them?+

In 2032 the Five Yellow sits in the Northwest and the Two Black Sickness star in the East. If either falls on your bedroom or front door you do not need to move: keep the sector still. No renovation, no drilling, fewer noisy or heat-producing appliances, and add metal or white objects to drain the Earth.

When does the 2032 Flying Star chart change over, Lichun or Lunar New Year?+

Xuan Kong Flying Stars (a.k.a. Nine Palace Flying Stars) change at Lichun. The 2032 chart takes effect from Feb 4, 2032 to Feb 2, 2033. Lunar New Year is the changeover for systems such as Ziwei DouShu; the two usually fall a few days apart and neither always comes first, so set your Feng Shui cures by Lichun, not by the holiday.

Where is the Wealth Sector in 2032?+

The star usually called the wealth star is Eight White, which sits in the South in 2032, and it takes yellow or brown objects such as citrine or a treasure bowl. But the star ruling Period 9 is Nine Purple (You Bi), in the North this year, and that is the strongest sector of the year: use both. For indirect wealth look to Six White in the West, which favours promotions, negotiations and travel and takes metal ornaments.

Where is the Scholastic Sector in 2032?+

Four Green, the Scholar star, sits in the Center in 2032, so that is the Scholastic Sector for the year and the best place for a desk. Add four stalks of lucky bamboo (hydroponic is best) or a Wen Chang pagoda, and keep the sector clear of clutter. It works on study and exams, not on money, and the two should not be mixed.
