Period 9 is starting its transition and will be arriving coincidentally with the Year of the Yang Wood Dragon on February 4, 2024. This is not business as usual when it comes to how the energy will be read for the next 20 years.

You’ve heard of the Flying Stars that are formed through calculations based on planetary movement. Each of the nine “Stars” is assigned characteristics based on Yin, Yang, and the 5 Elements/Phases. This is part of a shorthand that was developed thousands of years ago, after thousands of years of observation and tracking the natural cycles.

As discussed in last month’s article, there nine 20-year periods based on the movement and location of Jupiter. We are currently ending the 20-year period that is ruled by the 8 White Star. Since every star has a life cycle within the cycle, the 8 White is approaching a change in its attitude from “Prevailing Wealth” to “Past Wealth.”

The Prevailing Wealth Star in Period 9 will be the 9 Purple Star, which is currently considered “Future Wealth.” The 8 White will then be delegated to a Past Wealth status that will be somewhat diminished in energy, but it will still be usable and have a “good” nature.

Each Star will similarly be finding a new position in its life cycle, and with that there will be new interpretations of their energy and usefulness. Some will change profoundly. For instance, the 2 Black “Illness” star will have an entirely different set of characteristics that are favorable in Period 9. All because of where it will be in its life cycle!

These changes in characteristics will change the way the energy map/natal chart of your home or office is interpreted and adjusted. You may not have been keeping up with annual changes, but this is a critical juncture for how your home or office energy is affected.

I’ll be sending a notification to all of my current and past clients regarding updates for Period 9 and the Year of the Dragon. If you have never had your home or business audited, now would be a good time to do so. You can either respond to this newsletter or email me at: HelenKstyles@gmail.com

There is a 180-year cycle of Xuan Kong Feng Shui Periods/Eras which tracks the cycles of major planetary movements, such as Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn, relative to Earth. While these calculations can and are “off” over the centuries, most Feng Shui practitioners and masters continue to abide by the strict guidelines of 20-year increments.

In the current/prevailing Era the 8 Star in Xuan Kong is the strongest and represents wealth. This wealth energy will pass to the 9 Star in 2024 and the 8 Star will be somewhat diminished to “past wealth.” Cycling through the Flying Stars, the 1 Star will pick up energy as “Future Wealth.” All the Stars have a life cycle, but there are some that retain more influence, no matter what the prevailing star is, while some stars only have favorable energy during their “prevailing” era.

Let’s take a look at how these Stars’ energy will play out in the upcoming 9 Period:

The 1 White Star (fame/reputation) currently has good energy and as mentioned above, it will continue to have good energy as the “future wealth” star in Period 9.

The 2 Black Star (Illness) currently has rising energy and in Period 9 it will have dead energy.

The 3 Jade Star (aggression/arguments) currently has rising energy and in Period 9 will have dead energy.

The 4 Green Star (academics, relationships) currently has good energy and will continue to have good energy in Period 9.

The 5 Yellow Star (most malicious star) currently has dead energy and will continue to have dead energy in the next Period.

The 6 White Star (career) currently has good energy, which will continue in Period 9.

The 7 Red Star (robbery, loss, accident by metal), which is currently the past wealth star with failing energy, will have dead energy in Period 9.

The 8 White Star (prosperity) is the prevailing star of wealth with high energy. It will have falling energy as the “past wealth” star in Period 9.

The 9 Purple Star (growth/expansion/joy) is currently the future wealth star and its energy is rising. As stated above, it will become the prevailing “wealth” star in Period 9.

The life cycle of Xuan Kong stars affects not only the quantity but the quality of energy of each star. Since every star has both a positive and negative (yin-yang) character, its behavior depends on where it is in its life cycle. There are some Stars that are always more or less favorable and others that are mostly unfavorable unless they appear in their prevailing year.

As an example, the “White” stars are generally favorable standing alone, whereas the Yellow, Black, and Red stars are mostly unfavorable. The Green stars can go either way, depending upon their “usability” and their life cycle. And the Purple Star is mostly favorable, though its energy fluctuates over its life cycle.

Note: In Xuan Kong Feng Shui, the stars represent specific energy. They are not actual stars but a shorthand for specific energetic behaviors based on their gender and life cycle. Each Star also has specific relationships with other stars based on their assigned Element. In the natal chart of a building, these calculations are also affected by the place and orientation of the building, along with the year it was completed. This is why when you see universal annual or monthly Flying Star charts, that’s only a small portion of the energetic impact on your building.

In the coming articles about Period 9, we will look at the overall energetic effects of Period 9 on buildings, such as particular sitting and facing directions, and how to capitalize on Period 9.
