Flying Stars – Myth or Fact?
In the course of my practice, one of the most common questions that my clients ask is: What are yearly flying stars, and what are Period 9 flying stars (Period 8 for my clients pre-2024)? To answer this common question, I would like to pen down some of my views and attempt to clear the air for my valued clients and readers!
In the practice of Feng Shui, one of the most essential tools used to assess the energetic influences of a home is the Flying Stars system. Flying Stars is a complex system that tracks the movement of nine stars, each with different energies that affect various aspects of your life, such as health, wealth, and relationships. This set of Flying stars is, in fact, based on actual stars. They basically comprise of the seven astrological stars in the big dipper (part of the ursa major constellation) and two invisible assistant stars known as 左辅 (洞明星) and 右弼(隐元星). Sources from the Qin Dynasty suggest that the 北斗七星, once known as 北斗九星, coincides with the current flying star systems that many Feng Shui Practitioners adopt. However, these two stars are no longer visible due to unknown astrological events. Some myths suggest anyone who manages to see these two stars will be bestowed longevity. It is remarkable that our ancestors, without any advanced technology, have the wisdom and intelligence in astronomy. (For astronomy experts out there, I would certainly love to find out more about 左辅 & 右弼 and welcome any discussions!)
As we approach 2025, the 2025 Yearly Flying Star Chart and Period 9 Flying Star Chart will be applicable. Understanding how these two distinct but related Feng Shui charts work and how they impact your home and life is essential. This article will explore the difference between Flying Stars 2025 and Flying Stars Period 9, the concept of chart stacking, and the urgent need for remedies in times of negative influences. Read on if
you wish to learn more about Flying Stars.
What is Flying Stars 2025 and What is Flying Stars Period 9?
Flying Stars 2025 refers to the specific Flying Star chart for 2025, which analyzes the energetic influences in your home for that year. Each year, the stars move into different sectors of your home, bringing positive or negative energy into various areas. This is also known as the yearly flying star method. This year-specific chart helps to assess the short-term Feng Shui conditions that affect your home, from your career prospects to your health and relationships. A key thing to take note of is that the strength of a yearly flying star is swift and short-term. Its impact, albeit quick, is less intense than the Period 9 Flying Stars. This Yearly Flying Star method is a prevalent method used by Feng Shui Practitioners to enable clients to tap into positive energy quickly and avoid unfavorable stars that may impact their lives for that year. The following is a sample chart of the Flying Star 2024 and Flying Star 2025.

In contrast, Flying Stars Period 9 refers to a 20-year Feng Shui cycle spanning from 2024 to 2043. The energy of Period 9 is characterized by the Fire element, which represents transformation, passion, and creativity. The stars in this period influence a home's general Feng Shui conditions, and their effects will last for the entire 20 years. This period is highly significant for long-term auspicious Feng Shui, with its effect being more intense and rooted in your house. Some Feng Shui Practitioners acknowledge this fact and may include this as part of your Flying Star Feng Shui Consultation. Understanding the Period 9 Flying stars' implications can help create a balanced and prosperous living environment for the next two decades. Below is the Flying Star Chart for Period 9 (2024 – 2043). Note the difference between this and the yearly flying star chart mentioned in the previous paragraph.

Differences Between Flying Stars 2025 and Flying Stars Period 9
While both Flying Stars 2025 and Flying Stars Period 9 are vital in Feng Shui, they serve different purposes and offer distinct insights.
Flying Stars 2025 focuses on the annual chart, which provides information on the yearly energetic influences. Each year, the stars change their positions, and this can result in new opportunities, challenges, and shifts in various aspects of life. For instance, a favorable star in the wealth sector of your home may bring financial abundance for that year, while a negative star in the health sector could lead to health challenges. The Flying Stars 2025 chart provides specific guidance on how to adjust your home or office to counteract any negative energies for the year. Being quick and short-lived, this may either work for or against you. That being said, a professional Feng Shui Master will likely be able to provide you with effective solutions to tap into the benefits of good stars and avoid any adverse impact from the bad ones.
Flying Stars Period 9, on the other hand, is concerned with long-term Feng Shui for 20 years. The stars of this period will remain the same across the 20 years, although their influence will shift slightly year by year. The first few years of Period 9 are usually less intense as the residual energy from Period 8 lingers but will diminish gradually. This will also be true for the last few years in Period 9 as it gradually transits to Period 1 (From a fire base elemental force to that of a water one).
The Flying Stars 2025 chart gives you short-term guidance to deal with immediate changes, while Flying Stars Period 9 sets the stage for long-term prosperity and well-being in the next two decades. Now you will ask, which of these two is more important? The answer, unfortunately, is "it depends." It depends on what a person wishes to achieve: quick results with a lighter impact or slow results with a more profound effect. Otherwise, a person also does have the option to view these two together. Things may be complex in such a situation as there will be complimenting stars, elements, and strengths of each sector.
Chart Stacking: What Happens When Both Charts Align Badly?
One critical concept to understand when working with Flying Stars is chart stacking. This occurs when two different sets of Flying Stars—one from the annual chart (yearly) and one from the period chart (20 years)—are overlaid on the same sector of your home. If both charts indicate negative influences, it can result in a highly inauspicious area in your home, amplifying the potential harm. Is it as simple as that? Not really; some stars combine to form something else, while the element of each star may either be an auspicious surprise or a disaster.
For example, in Flying Stars 2025, the Northeast sector of your home is influenced by a negative star, which could signify an issue related to unexpected monetary loss and mishap for the year. Simultaneously, the Flying Stars Period 9 chart indicates that the Northeast sector is affected by negative stars, which can further exacerbate negative energy. The stacking of these two adverse influences creates a double-negative impact on the Northeast sector, making this area particularly harmful during this period. From an element perspective, the legal and conflict star in the period 9 chart carries a wood element. In comparison, the deadly and misfortune star (same overlapping sector) in the 2025 chart comprises the earth element. Take a wild guess of what will happen when these two elements meet.
In cases of chart stacking, there are possibilities where negative energy becomes magnified, leading to more serious consequences, such as financial setbacks, health issues, or relationship problems. In other situations, you may realise that your auspicious area may be superbly strong too. This explains why it is so crucial to seek assistance from a qualified Feng Shui Master who can analyze these stacked influences and provide targeted solutions to neutralize the negative energy/seize the opportunity of an Auspicious supernova! (Pun intended!)
The Need for Urgent Remedies Through a Qualified Feng Shui Master
The importance of consulting a Feng Shui Master cannot be overstated, especially when dealing with Yearly Flying stars and Flying Stars Period 9. These charts are complex and deeply personalized to each individual and property. With chart stacking and overlapping influences, the need for professional guidance becomes even more critical.
As we enter the 2nd year of the Flying Stars Period 9, the urgency of these remedies becomes even more apparent. The fire energy of this period will have a lasting effect on your home's Feng Shui, and it is essential to address any negative influences of the Flying Star immediately.
