The 2025 Feng Shui Flying Stars Guide
In the 2025 flying stars chart, the Eight White wealth star sits in the southwest and the Five Yellow affliction lands in the northeast. Activate the southwest for money and career luck, and keep the northeast calm to protect your health and stability.
I’ve done in-home consultations for clients across the US and UK for years, trained in the Zhengyi Dao lineage at Longhu Mountain, and the flying stars are the first thing I check when a home feels stuck. They move every year, so what worked in 2024 won’t carry over. The chart below shows where all nine stars fall in 2025, then I’ll walk you through what to actually do in each sector.
2025 Flying Stars at a Glance
Read the chart with south at the top. Green borders are stars to activate; terracotta borders are stars to keep calm. Here’s the whole map in one table:
| Direction | Star | What it brings | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Southwest | #8 White (earth) | Wealth, steady income | Activate with metal wealth objects |
| South | #6 White (metal) | Career, authority | Keep orderly, add a metal piece |
| Southeast | #1 White (water) | Relationships, soft income | Gentle cure; Tai Sui sits here, keep calm |
| West | #4 Green (wood) | Study, career growth | Metal Wen Chang pagoda |
| East | #9 Purple (fire) | Joy, celebration | Amethyst, keep the corner lit |
| Center | #2 Black (earth) | Health, family well-being | Keep clear, add a small metal piece |
| Northwest | #3 Jade (wood) | Quarrel, conflict | Metal to balance; Sui Po sits here |
| North | #7 Red (metal) | Loss, arguments | Keep calm, black obsidian |
| Northeast | #5 Yellow (earth) | Misfortune, instability | Metal cure, do not disturb |
What to Do in Each Sector
I’ll go through the sectors in the same order as the chart, top row first. The two that matter most are still the southwest (wealth) and the northeast (the star you don’t want to stir).
Southwest: the Eight White, your best wealth direction
The southwest is your headline for 2025: the Eight White wealth star, the strongest money star of the year. This is where I’d put gold ingots, a brass treasure bowl, or a Pixiu to draw both steady income and the occasional windfall. Keep the corner tidy, lit, and a little active, because energy that sits still doesn’t attract much. If wealth hasn’t been flowing, you may also be making one of the common mistakes that block it. If you only change one area this year, make it this one.
South: the Six White career star
The south carries the Six White star in 2025, a steady career and authority energy. It’s a quiet win rather than a flashy one. Keep this corner orderly and lightly lit, and a small metal piece, a brass bell or a clean desk, supports the professional lift. If your home office happens to sit here, that’s a good thing to lean into.
Southeast: the One White star, and where Tai Sui sits
The southeast brings the One White star, good for relationships and a soft flow of income. But it’s also where Tai Sui sits in 2025, so respect the corner. Keep it calm, don’t renovate or drill here, and avoid loud construction nearby. A small water feature or a round mirror suits the One White, but don’t disturb Tai Sui to place it. The Snake, Pig, Tiger, and Monkey signs should be especially mindful of this sector this year.
West: the Four Green study star
The west holds the Four Green star, the one for focus, study, and steady career advancement. Students and anyone building a skill benefit most. A metal Wen Chang pagoda, a crystal ball, or a brass pen holder anchors the energy. If you can, face your desk or bed toward the west to pull in the academic and professional lift. For more on career energy at home, see my home office guide.
East: the Nine Purple joy star
The east carries the Nine Purple star in 2025, one of the best energies of the year. It governs celebration, romance, and the kind of career momentum that shows up as a surprise opportunity. I tell clients to give this corner some life. An amethyst cluster or a small crystal ball works; if you can’t place objects there, wear amethyst or keep the area bright and uncluttered. Keep it lit and free of piles so the energy moves instead of sitting still.
Center: the Two Black health star
The center holds the Two Black star, which traditional teaching links to health and family well-being. You can’t move your home’s center, so the move is gentle: keep it uncluttered, well-ventilated, and free of heavy or broken objects. A small metal piece, a brass coin or a metal bowl, helps settle the energy. Don’t pile storage or gym gear in the middle of the home this year.
Northwest: the Three Jade conflict star, and Sui Po
The northwest is metal by nature, and the Three Jade star here is wood, so the two fight. That shows up as workplace friction and prickly relationships, and the northwest is also where Sui Po (the clash point opposite Tai Sui) sits in 2025. Balance it with a brass gourd, five-emperor coins, or a crystal ball. One specific trap: if your kitchen is in the northwest, you get “Fire Burning Heaven’s Gate,” which traditional teaching links to strain on the household’s male figure. A golden gourd pendant there settles it.
North: the Seven Red loss star
The north carries the Seven Red star, which tends to leak money and stir arguments. Ease off yellow and white decor and keep metal objects minimal here. A piece of black obsidian, or simply a calm corner without sharp edges, takes the edge off. I’ve seen clients stop a run of silly disputes just by clearing the clutter and the pointed furniture in this zone.
Northeast: the Five Yellow, the one to respect
The northeast holds the Five Yellow in 2025, the star most worth respecting. Left alone it stirs health worries, money friction, and family tension. The fix is metal, not fire: a brass gourd, five-emperor coins, a metal wind chime, or a small Pixiu. If your front door or a window sits here, hang a metal Bagua mirror or a Tai Chi symbol to turn the energy away. Skip red and yellow decor in this corner, and don’t start renovations or digging here this year. Disturbing it only feeds the affliction.
Common Questions
What is the best wealth direction in 2025 feng shui?
The southwest, home of the Eight White star. Wake it up with metal wealth objects like gold ingots, a brass bowl, or a Pixiu, and keep it bright and uncluttered. It’s the single highest-leverage corner of the year.
Where is Tai Sui in 2025, and who clashes with it?
Tai Sui sits in the southeast for the Year of the Snake. The signs that clash are Snake (own year), Pig (opposite), Tiger, and Monkey. Keep the southeast calm and avoid loud renovations there; a quiet sector keeps the Grand Duke settled.
How do I find the flying stars in my own home?
Overlay a bagua map on your floor plan so the nine sectors line up with compass directions, then read each corner from there. The southwest and northeast are the two to locate first. My bagua map guide walks through the mapping step by step.
What should I avoid in the northeast in 2025?
No red or yellow decor, no renovations or digging, and if a door or window faces it, add a metal mirror to deflect the energy. The Five Yellow reacts badly to disturbance, so quiet beats active in this corner.
What does the center star mean for 2025?
The center holds the Two Black star, linked in traditional teaching to health and family well-being. You can’t move the center, so keep it clear, ventilated, and free of broken or heavy objects, and add one small metal piece to settle the energy.
If you do nothing else this year, handle two corners: wake up the southwest for wealth and quiet the northeast for health. The other sectors are fine with small touches. And if your floor plan doesn’t map cleanly to these directions, that’s normal. A quick consultation sorts it out.
