The chart follows feng shui convention: south at the top, north at the bottom, the reverse of an ordinary map. Orient your home first, then read the sectors.

Home Feng Shui layout is only the first step in welcoming the Year of the Goat. Your personal luck ultimately depends on your natal chart. The 2027 Goat Year BaZi Guide uses your Four Pillars and Five Elements interactions to analyze your career, wealth, and romance trends, as well as Tai Sui clashes and harmonies in the Year of the Goat.
Unlock Goat Year GuideThe 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.
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 2037 the Five Yellow moves from the North to the Southwest, and Eight White, the wealth star, moves from the Southeast to the Center.
The central star drops by one each year, and after one it returns to nine.
The other eight palaces drop by one with it, so every star changes sector each year.
In 2036 the Five Yellow sits in the North and the Two Black Sickness star in the West. 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.
Xuan Kong Flying Stars (a.k.a. Nine Palace Flying Stars) change at Lichun. The 2036 chart takes effect from Feb 4, 2036 to Feb 2, 2037. 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.
The star usually called the wealth star is Eight White, which sits in the Southeast in 2036, 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 Center this year, and that is the strongest sector of the year: use both. For indirect wealth look to Six White in the Southwest, which favours promotions, negotiations and travel and takes metal ornaments.
Four Green, the Scholar star, sits in the South in 2036, 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.
