Feng shui 2027: the year of the Fire Goat
The feng shui year 2027 begins at Li Chun, around 4 February 2027, not on 1 January or at Chinese New Year. It is a Ding Wei year (yin fire Goat), with the 9 Purple (You Bi) star at the centre of the annual chart.
Keep the North (5 Yellow) and West (2 Black) sectors of your home quiet: traditionally no renovation or major works there this year. Keep the Centre (9 Purple) and North-West (1 White) sectors bright and active. Avoid starting renovation facing SW1 (South-West) (Tai Sui).
Reading the chart
South is at the top, the traditional orientation for these charts. Lay it over a floor plan of your home, aligned to your compass, and each sector’s star tells you its character for 2027.

The nine sectors in 2027
| Sector | Star | Traditional reading |
|---|---|---|
| Centre | 9 Purple (You Bi) | The star of the current Period 9 (2024–2043): celebration, visibility and future prospects. Traditionally the most auspicious sector to keep bright and active. |
| North-West | 1 White (Tan Lang) | Traditionally linked with career, networking and new opportunities. A good sector to keep active and bright. |
| West | 2 Black (Ju Men) | Traditionally the “illness star”. Practitioners keep this sector calm: no renovation, less red, and often a metal object (brass) as a traditional remedy. |
| North-East | 3 Jade (Lu Cun) | Traditionally associated with arguments and misunderstandings. Keep it quiet; red or warm lighting is the classic softener. |
| South | 4 Green (Wen Qu) | Traditionally linked with study, writing and romance. A nice sector for a desk or bookshelf. |
| North | 5 Yellow (Lian Zhen) | The most cautioned star of the year. Tradition advises against renovation, drilling or major works in this sector, and keeping it uncluttered and quiet; metal objects are the classic remedy. |
| South-West | 6 White (Wu Qu) | Traditionally linked with authority, support and steady progress. |
| East | 7 Red (Po Jun) | Traditionally associated with loss and conflict, weaker since Period 7 ended. Keep it tidy; still water or blue is the classic remedy. |
| South-East | 8 White (Zuo Fu) | The prosperous star of the previous period (2004–2023), still regarded as supportive and stable. |
Tai Sui, Sui Po and the Three Killings
- Tai Sui (Grand Duke Jupiter): SW1 (South-West). Traditionally this sector is left undisturbed (no renovation or digging), and you avoid sitting for long periods directly facing it. Having it behind you is considered supportive.
- Sui Po (Year Breaker): NE1 (North-East), opposite the Tai Sui. Also traditionally left undisturbed.
- Three Killings: West. The reverse of Tai Sui: traditionally you may face it, but avoid sitting with your back to it, and avoid renovation there.
Treat this as a light layer
Annual flying stars are a Compass School refinement. The fundamentals of layout (the command position, support behind you, a clear entrance, good light) matter every year and matter more. Our room scan checks those first.
