2027 Feng Shui: Flying Stars Chart, Cures and Lucky Colours
By DailyDestiny Editorial Team
The short answer
In the 2027 feng shui chart, the 9 Purple star sits in the centre of every home, the wealth star 8 White is in the southeast and the study star 4 Green is in the south. The two stars tradition handles most carefully are 5 Yellow in the north and 2 Black in the west. The west also holds the Three Killings, Tai Sui sits in the south-southwest and the Year Breaker sits in the north-northeast. The chart takes over at Li Chun on February 4, 2027, two days before Chinese New Year on February 6.
A new year of energy arrives in your home on February 4, 2027. Here is the full flying stars map, room by room, so you can set up your space calmly before Chinese New Year.

What does the 2027 feng shui chart look like?
Every year, millions of families quietly move a plant, hang a wind chime or clear a corner before Chinese New Year. If you have ever wondered why, the answer is the annual flying stars chart.
Here is the full 2027 chart, which we checked against two published 2027 charts. Centre: 9 Purple. Northwest: 1 White. West: 2 Black. Northeast: 3 Jade. South: 4 Green. North: 5 Yellow. Southwest: 6 White. East: 7 Red. Southeast: 8 White.
Where do the numbers come from? Flying stars, or Xuan Kong Fei Xing, is a school of classical feng shui that uses the nine numbers of the Lo Shu magic square. Each year, a different number moves into the centre, and the other eight "fly" around the eight directions in a fixed order. The centre number falls by one each year. In 2026 the centre was 1, so in 2027 it is 9.
That 9 in the centre is special. Classical feng shui divides time into twenty-year periods, and we are now in Period 9, which runs from 2024 to 2043. Its ruling star is 9 Purple. In 2027 the annual 9 also sits in the centre, which many practitioners read as a year that strengthens the heart of the home.
A word on what this chart is and is not. The annual chart is the same for every building in the world. A full reading of your home would also use its facing direction and the year it was built, and a personal reading would add each person's birth details. The annual chart is the simplest layer, and it is a lovely place to start.
Throughout this guide, the cures and activations are what the tradition holds. They are a cultural practice, not health, safety or money remedies. Anything about your health belongs with a doctor, anything about your finances belongs with a proper plan, and any repair your home needs should be done when it needs doing.
What does flying stars mean in feng shui?
Flying stars is a classical feng shui method that tracks how energy moves through a space over time, using the nine numbers of the Lo Shu square. Each number, called a star, carries a tradition of meaning, and each year the stars shift to new directions. The annual chart shows where each star sits for the year.
Is the 2027 chart the same for every home?
Yes. The annual chart applies to every building, which is why you can use it without a consultation. A practitioner reading your specific home would add a natal chart based on its facing direction and build date, and would read the annual stars on top of it.
When does the 2027 chart start, and how do I find each sector at home?
The 2027 chart starts at Li Chun, the beginning of spring in the Chinese solar calendar, on February 4, 2027 at 09:46 Beijing time. That is 01:46 UTC, or the evening of February 3 in the Americas. Until then, the 2026 chart still applies, with 5 Yellow in the south.
To find each sector in your home, you need a floor plan and a compass. Here is a simple method.
Step 1: draw a rough floor plan of your home, or print one if you have it. Include the garden if you want to.
Step 2: stand near the centre of your home, away from big metal objects, and use a compass or a phone compass app to find north. Mark it on your plan.
Step 3: find the centre of your floor plan. For an L-shaped home, use the centre of the bounding rectangle, or ask a practitioner.
Step 4: divide the plan into nine areas, like a noughts and crosses grid lined up with the compass, or into eight 45-degree slices around the centre. Label each with its direction: north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest, west and northwest, plus the centre.
Step 5: write the 2027 star into each area. Now you can see which rooms hold which stars.
Many people find this easier with the bagua grid, which is a similar nine-area map used in another school of feng shui. Bagua Map Guide explains how to lay the grid over your plan. For flying stars, line the grid up with the compass, not with your front door.
What changed from 2026? Every star moved one step. The most noticeable changes are these.
5 Yellow: moves from the south (2026) to the north (2027).
2 Black: moves from the northwest (2026) to the west (2027).
4 Green: moves from the northeast (2026) to the south (2027), so the study corner shifts.
8 White: moves from the east to the southeast.
9 Purple: moves from the southeast into the centre.
So a room you kept quiet in 2026 because of 5 Yellow in the south can now be used normally from February 4, while the north needs the attention instead. If you set up cures in 2026, many people move or refresh them at Li Chun.
A practical tip. Phone compasses can be thrown off by steel beams, fridges and speakers. Take readings in two or three spots and use the average. If your home sits close to a boundary between two directions, follow the larger part of each room.
Why does the feng shui year start on February 4 and not at Chinese New Year?
Feng shui follows the Chinese solar calendar, which begins the year at Li Chun, the moment the Sun reaches 315 degrees of ecliptic longitude. Chinese New Year follows the lunar calendar and falls on February 6 in 2027. So in feng shui, the 2027 chart applies from February 4.
What if I live in an apartment?
Use your own apartment's floor plan, not the whole building's. Find north, find the centre of your apartment, and map the nine areas from there. Small spaces work the same way: even a studio has a north side and a southeast corner.
What does each sector hold in 2027?
Each of the nine sectors carries one star in 2027, and each star has its own traditional meaning. Here they are, with the tradition's reading and the simple ways people work with them.
Centre, 9 Purple: the star of celebration, recognition and the current Period 9. The centre of the home is read as bright and lively in 2027. People keep it tidy, well lit and open, and some add a touch of red or purple. Many like to use the centre for family meals and gatherings.
Northwest, 1 White: the star of wisdom, career and new opportunities. A good place for a desk or a quiet reading spot in 2027. Traditional touches include a small bowl of clean water or dark blue accents, kept neat and clutter-free.
West, 2 Black: the star tradition links with illness, which in practice means a sector to keep calm. It also holds the Three Killings this year. People avoid starting renovation here, keep it quiet, and use metal objects such as a brass bowl or a metal bell. More on this below.
Northeast, 3 Jade: the star of arguments and competition. It also holds the Year Breaker. People keep the northeast calm and use a touch of red or a metal item, and avoid adding lots of plants here this year.
South, 4 Green: the star of study, writing and creativity, also called the Wen Chang star. A good place for a student's desk or a writing corner in 2027. Some people add a healthy plant or fresh flowers. Of course, good light, quiet and a comfortable chair matter more for exams than any direction.
North, 5 Yellow: the star tradition treats with the most care. Keep the north quiet, avoid starting major works there, and use traditional metal cures such as a brass bell or six coins on a red ribbon. More on this below.
Southwest, 6 White: the star of authority, support and helpful people. It also holds Tai Sui this year, so tradition says enjoy it but do not start digging or major works there. Metal colours such as white, gold and silver suit it.
East, 7 Red: the star tradition links with loss and sharp words when disturbed. People keep the east tidy, use a little blue or a bowl of water, and avoid clutter and noise here.
Southeast, 8 White: the star of wealth and steady prosperity, still honoured strongly even though its own period ended in 2023. A popular spot for a home office or a place to plan your finances. Earth tones, crystals or a healthy plant are the usual touches. Money decisions still come from a good plan, of course. The star is a tradition, not a strategy.
If your front door sits in one of the quieter sectors, do not worry. Doors are used every day, and tradition simply suggests keeping that area clean, bright and uncluttered. Feng Shui Front Door explains how the entrance works as the mouth of energy for the whole home.
What does the 9 Purple star in the centre mean for 2027?
The 9 Purple is the ruling star of Period 9 (2024 to 2043) and is linked with celebration, joy and recognition. In 2027 it sits in the centre of every home, so tradition suggests keeping the centre clear, bright and welcoming, and using it for gatherings.
Where is the wealth star in 2027?
The 8 White, the traditional wealth star, is in the southeast in 2027. Many people place a desk, a money plant or earth-tone decor there. The 9 Purple in the centre and the 1 White in the northwest are also considered positive in 2027.
Which areas need care in 2027, and what are the traditional cures?
Four areas need the most care in 2027, according to the tradition: the north (5 Yellow), the west (2 Black and the Three Killings), the south-southwest (Tai Sui) and the north-northeast (the Year Breaker). The traditional approach is to keep these areas calm, avoid starting major digging or renovation there, and use metal to "drain" the Earth stars.
North, 5 Yellow: the most closely watched star of the year. Its element is Earth, and in the five element cycle Metal drains Earth, so the classic cures are metal: a brass or bronze bell, a metal bowl, or six old Chinese coins tied with red ribbon. People avoid red and yellow decor here, keep noise low and do not start building work in the north this year.
West, 2 Black and the Three Killings: the 2 Black is also an Earth star, so metal is used here too. The Three Killings in the west adds a second reason to keep the area calm. Tradition says you may face the Three Killings, for example by sitting with the west in front of you, but not sit with it at your back.
South-southwest, Tai Sui: the Grand Duke of 2027 sits at the Goat's compass point, roughly 202.5 to 217.5 degrees. The tradition is to show respect: no digging or heavy renovation started there, and do not sit facing it directly for long periods, such as at a desk.
North-northeast, the Year Breaker: directly opposite Tai Sui, roughly 22.5 to 37.5 degrees. Tradition advises against sitting with your back to this direction for long periods and against starting works there.
What if your bedroom is in the north? Or your kitchen is in the west? This is the most common worry, and tradition is calmer about it than many websites suggest. You can live in these rooms normally. The usual advice is simple.
Keep it tidy: clutter and broken objects are always discouraged in feng shui, and especially in sectors with difficult stars.
Keep it calm: move a loud speaker, a TV or a workout area elsewhere if you can, but you do not need to stop using the room.
Add metal: a brass bowl, a metal frame or a metal lamp base is enough for many people. A metal wind chime is popular, though many traditional practitioners prefer still metal in the 5 Yellow sector.
Plan works sensibly: if you already planned a renovation, tradition suggests starting it outside the sensitive sectors first, or choosing an auspicious start date. If a pipe bursts or a roof leaks, fix it straight away. No tradition asks you to live with a real problem, and safety always comes first.
A quick note on the 2 Black's traditional name, the "illness star". This is a name, not a diagnosis. Feng shui cannot cause or cure illness, and nothing in your home's layout replaces good medical care. If you or someone in your home is unwell, please see a doctor.
What is the best cure for the 5 Yellow in 2027?
Tradition favours metal, because Metal drains Earth in the five element cycle. Common choices are a brass bell, a metal bowl or a five element pagoda, or six Chinese coins on a red ribbon, placed in the north. People also keep the north quiet and avoid starting major works there.
Can I sleep in the north or west in 2027?
Yes. Tradition does not ask you to move bedrooms. Keep the room tidy and calm, add a simple metal object if you like, and avoid starting big renovations there. A good bed position matters more day to day, and Feng Shui Bed Placement covers that in detail.
How do people bring out the good stars in 2027?
Tradition activates the good stars of 2027 by using those areas more and adding their element: the centre (9 Purple) with light and warm colours, the southeast (8 White) with earth tones and activity, the northwest (1 White) with water and calm, the south (4 Green) with plants for study, and the southwest (6 White) with metal colours.
Centre, 9 Purple (Fire): keep it open and bright. A lamp, a red or purple cushion or throw, and fresh flowers are the usual touches. Hold family meals or celebrations here if your layout allows. Avoid cluttering the centre with storage.
Southeast, 8 White (Earth): tradition says this star loves activity, so use the space. A desk, a reading chair or the place you plan your budget all work. Earth colours such as yellow, beige and terracotta suit it, and many people place a crystal, a ceramic bowl or a healthy jade plant here.
Northwest, 1 White (Water): a calm, clean space for thinking and career planning. A small bowl of fresh water (changed often), a dark blue cushion or a picture of water are traditional touches.
South, 4 Green (Wood): the study star. If you have a student at home or you are learning something, a desk in the south is a classic 2027 choice. A healthy plant, a vase of fresh flowers or green accents are the traditional touches. Pair it with good light and a regular study routine, because those are what actually help.
Southwest, 6 White (Metal): the star of support and helpful people, sharing the sector with Tai Sui. Metal colours, such as white, silver and gold, and simple metal objects suit it. You can use the room freely. Just avoid starting heavy works there in 2027.
If your home has a wealth corner set up from the bagua method, you can keep it. The bagua and flying stars are different schools, and many people use both. Feng Shui Wealth Corner explains how the bagua version works and the common mistakes to avoid.
What about the best month to open a business in 2027? Practitioners usually choose a specific day from the Chinese almanac rather than a month, matched to the owner's birth details. Some prefer to avoid opening in the months when the monthly 5 Yellow star falls on the shop's main door. But the honest answer comes first: the business plan, the money and the location decide whether a business does well. Timing is an optional extra layer that some people enjoy, and it should never delay a good opportunity or push a weak plan forward.
How do I activate the 8 White wealth star in 2027?
Tradition says use the southeast actively in 2027: work, read or plan there. Add earth tones such as yellow or beige, and a crystal, ceramic bowl or healthy plant. Keep it clean and bright. Treat it as a meaningful ritual alongside, never instead of, sound money habits.
Where should a student study in 2027?
Tradition points to the south, where the 4 Green study star sits in 2027, or the northwest, where the 1 White star of wisdom sits. Wherever the desk goes, good light, quiet, a clear surface and a steady routine matter most for learning.
What are the lucky colours for 2027 in feng shui?
The lucky colours for 2027 in feng shui are red and purple for the year's Fire, and warm earth tones such as yellow, beige, brown and terracotta for the Goat's Earth. Green can be added in small amounts, because Wood feeds Fire. Blue and black, the colours of Water, are usually used lightly.
The year is Ding Wei: Ding is yin Fire, and Wei, the Goat, is an Earth branch. In the five element cycle, Fire feeds Earth, so the year's own elements support each other. That is why red, purple and earth tones are the classic 2027 colours.
Room by room, colour advice also follows the stars. Here is a simple guide.
Centre: red, purple, warm light, to support the 9 Purple.
North and west: white, silver, gold and grey, the metal colours that tradition uses to calm 5 Yellow and 2 Black. Go easy on red and yellow here.
Southeast: yellow, beige and terracotta, for the 8 White.
South: green, for the 4 Green study star.
Northwest: blue or black accents, for the 1 White.
East: a little blue, to soften the 7 Red.
Southwest: white, gold and silver, for the 6 White.
You do not need to repaint. Feng shui colour is usually about small touches: a cushion, a throw, a vase, a rug, a picture frame. Choose colours you actually like, because a room you enjoy being in is the heart of good feng shui.
What about clothing? Many people wear red at Chinese New Year for luck, and some choose red or purple accessories through a Fire year. If you were born in a Goat, Ox, Dog or Rat year, tradition suggests a little red during 2027, because those animals are out of step with the year's Tai Sui. Year of the Fire Goat 2027 explains why and what else people do.
If you want the deeper theory, Feng Shui Colors: Five Element Color Theory & Room-by-Room Guide covers how each element links to colours, shapes and materials, and how to balance a room.
A note for readers who also follow Western astrology. The year's Chinese element is Fire, and Western astrologers will be watching Jupiter move into Virgo, an earth sign, on July 26, 2027. Different systems, but a nice echo: both lean toward warm, steady, practical energy in the home.
What colour should I avoid in 2027?
Tradition suggests going easy on red and yellow in the north and west, where the Earth stars 5 Yellow and 2 Black sit, because those colours feed Earth. In general, blue and black are used lightly in a Fire year. Nothing needs to be banned, though. Small changes are enough.
What is the lucky colour for the front door in 2027?
It depends on which direction your door faces. Tradition matches the door colour to the sector: for example, earth tones for a southeast door, metal colours for a north or west door. A clean, well-kept door with good light is the most important thing, whatever the colour.
What should I do before Chinese New Year 2027?
Before Chinese New Year 2027, many families clear clutter, clean the whole home, refresh the front door, and move or set up their annual cures at Li Chun on February 4. The traditional idea is to sweep out the old year's energy and welcome the new one into a clean, bright space.
Here is a simple checklist you can follow in the last two weeks of January and the first days of February.
Declutter: go room by room and let go of broken, unused or unloved things. Pay special attention to the north and west, where tradition prefers calm, and the centre, where the 9 Purple likes open space.
Clean: tradition says do the big clean before New Year's Day, not on it, so you do not "sweep away" the new year's luck. Many families clean on the days just before February 6.
Refresh the front door: clean the door and the step, fix squeaks, replace dead plants and make sure the entrance is well lit.
Move your cures at Li Chun: if you used metal cures in the south for the 2026 5 Yellow, move them to the north from February 4, 2027. Set up anything new for the west, north-northeast and south-southwest.
Bring in fresh energy: fresh flowers, a bowl of oranges or mandarins (a traditional symbol of good fortune), red decorations and good light.
Plan your works: if you are planning renovation in 2027, look at where it falls. Tradition suggests avoiding starting major digging or building in the north, west, south-southwest and north-northeast this year. If you cannot avoid it, many people start in a different part of the home and let the work progress from there, or ask a practitioner to choose a start date.
Write down your intentions: many families write down hopes for the new year around Chinese New Year. Keep it simple: one wish for home, one for work, one for the people you love.
The Chinese new year is also a natural time to look at your whole year, not just your home. Your Year Ahead, the personal 12-month reading on this site, includes your Chinese zodiac animal, your Western Sun sign and numerology personal year, and every new moon, full moon, eclipse and retrograde of your next twelve months, placed into your own solar houses, with month by month timing for love, money, work and rest, power days for your phone calendar and the dates to slow down. It needs only your birthday and is for reflection and planning, not prediction. It costs $29, paid once. It drops to $19 for the 72 hours after every new moon, and there is no subscription or account. A one-to-one year-ahead session with an astrologer usually costs $111 to $299, and a written 12-month forecast from a big astrology site is $69.90. The price is lower because the code was built once and serves everyone, with no booking or hourly fee. It is for people who will put their good weeks in the calendar and use them. If you only want this year's chart for your home, everything in this guide, and the free printable 2027 Cosmic Calendar, are free.
If you are completely new to all this, Feng Shui for Beginners explains what feng shui actually is, where it comes from and how to start without spending money.
When should I put up my 2027 feng shui cures?
Most practitioners set up annual cures at Li Chun, February 4, 2027 (09:46 Beijing time), when the new chart takes over. Some prefer to do it a day or two before, or on Chinese New Year, February 6. Clean the area first, then place the cure.
Should I clean on Chinese New Year's Day?
Tradition says no. Families clean in the days before New Year and avoid sweeping, washing hair and throwing out rubbish on the first day, so the new year's good fortune is not swept away. Normal cleaning resumes after the first few days.
Questions people ask
What is the 2027 flying star chart?
In the 2027 annual chart, 9 Purple sits in the centre, 1 White in the northwest, 2 Black in the west, 3 Jade in the northeast, 4 Green in the south, 5 Yellow in the north, 6 White in the southwest, 7 Red in the east and 8 White in the southeast. The chart takes over at Li Chun on February 4, 2027.
Where is the 5 Yellow star in 2027?
The 5 Yellow star is in the north in 2027. It moves there from the south at Li Chun on February 4, 2027. Feng shui tradition treats the 5 Yellow sector as one to keep quiet: no major digging or renovation started there, and traditional metal cures such as a brass bell or six coins.
Where is Tai Sui in 2027?
Tai Sui, the Grand Duke of the year, sits in the south-southwest in 2027, at the Goat position, roughly 202.5 to 217.5 degrees on a compass. The Year Breaker sits opposite, in the north-northeast. Tradition advises against starting major works in either sector and against sitting with your face to Tai Sui.
Where are the Three Killings in 2027?
The Three Killings are in the west in 2027, the same sector as the 2 Black star. Goat, Rabbit and Pig years always put the Three Killings in the west. Tradition suggests keeping the west calm and not starting renovation there, while still doing any repair the building genuinely needs.
What are the lucky colours for 2027 in feng shui?
The year is yin Fire over an Earth branch, so red, purple and warm earth tones are the traditional lucky colours. Sector by sector, people use metallic colours in the north and west, red or purple touches in the centre, yellow and earth tones in the southeast, and green in the south for study.
Do feng shui cures work?
There is no scientific evidence that annual cures change health or money. They are part of a cultural tradition that many families enjoy and find calming. A tidy, well-lit, comfortable home is good for you anyway, so think of the cures as a meaningful ritual layered on top of good, practical home care.
