SOUTH – MISFORTUNE STAR REQUIRES REMEDYING
The monthly Five Yellow joins the annual star bringing danger and misfortune to the South sector. There is a threat of illness, money loss and relationship problems if not remedied. Those residing in this part of the home or living in South-facing houses are advised to take extra care of your health and well-being. Beware high-stress levels, which can cause blood pressure to soar. Keep mental and emotional stress under control with the help of the Sky Roebuck. Place an Emerald 5 Element Pagoda here and carry the amulet version if residing or working in this sector. Display the “Ngan Chee” Happy Buddha to promote harmony and to suppress the negative chi. Keep this area “quiet” this month.

7

SOUTHWEST – BIG WEALTH, BUT BETRAYAL RISK
While the visiting star is the loss-bringing #7, it combines with the resident #2 to form the Big Wealth Ho Tu. This indicates windfall luck, and wealth that comes in unexpectedly or in an unexpected way. Activate the positive effects of the star combination with the Wealth Bull or Windfall Luck Activator with Dog and Rabbit. The #7 star however generates risk of betrayals and being cheated, so don’t be too trusting, and get your remedies in place.

EAST – WEALTH & LEADERSHIP LUCK
The East welcomes in the #8 star, which combines with the #3 to form the leadership Ho Tu. Activate with the Big Money Bull and Ho Tu Enhancer Mirror. Those in leadership roles should display Wishfulfilling Scepters of Power here. But the annual #3 can cause problems. Place Peace Apples or an auspicious red carpet here. Do not over-activate this area with too much noise. If children are living in this sector, best move them to another room this month; the clash of elements here can bring injury to young children. There is also danger to the liver. Young children who spend a lot of time here should wear the Medicine Buddha Pendant.

1

CENTER – NEW BEGINNINGS
The #1 star flying into the central sector benefits all members of the household. As the #1 is a water element star, its positive effects get weakened flying into an Earth sector, thus, to fully benefit from its potential, we suggest placing victory enhancers here. The arrival of this star here makes this a good time to get moving on new ideas, to set plans into motion, and to be courageous in one’s mindset. Results come to those who are motivated and actionoriented, so be proactive with going after your goals. The combination of Water and Earth however brings risk of injuries caused by accidents. Those travelling this period are encouraged to carry a Travel Protection Amulet or to wear the Travel Protection Scarf.

3

WEST – COMPLETION LUCK
The West plays host to the quarrelsome star #3, which brings conflict and misunderstandings if not subdued. But flying into a metal sector, the #3 is not overly powerful and thus easy to deal with. Place the Magical Cosmic Apple here and keep this sector quiet. Remove all windchimes and do not spend too much time in this part of the home. This sector however also brings completion luck, which can be activated with the Heavenly Completion Horse or Teapot with Completion Horse. Those living in the West should carry the Sum-of-Ten Amulet – for the successful conclusion to things you’ve been working towards. There is danger of injury to the skin or nose; so watch what you eat and avoid rough sports this month.

4

NORTHEAST – LOVE & RELATIONSHIP LUCK
The Northeast welcomes in the Relationship Star #4, which joins the Prosperity Star #8 to bring plenty of opportunities that arrive via one’s friends or network. Residents of the NE benefit from being socially active and visible this month. Attend cocktails, parties and other events, and spend more effort cultivating your alliances. Follow up on leads that catch your attention, as they can lead to great outcomes. Activate this part of the home with the Pak Choy for new sources of wealth. Enhance with Kurukulle’s Flag or the Romance Comb if love is what you’re looking for.
