What the Southwest palace is

Kun is Earth: receptive, yielding, load-bearing. It does not initiate, but it will hold whatever is put on it. Its upside is patience and the ability to finish things one at a time. Its downside is over-carrying: taking on what was never yours to hold.

Kun is the mother, and by extension land, property and large slow-moving populations.

The southwest of a home is often a bedroom, sometimes the kitchen. Traditionally called the Kun position, it is tied to the senior women of the household and to the general stability of the place.

The 6 White · Wu Qu star arrives here in 2027

6 White · Wu Qu is Metal, its own home is the Qian palace (Northwest), and it governs authority, office, windfall and travel. In 2027 it flies into the Kun palace in the Southwest: the palace is Earth, the two form palace feeds star, which means the palace holds the star up, so its character (favorable or not) shows more plainly.

Then the period. We are in Period 9 of the Lower Era (2024–2043), whose ruling star is 9 Purple. Counting back from there, 6 White is currently Dead: out of season, far from the ruling period. Standing is relative to the period, not a permanent property of the star: the same star reads completely differently twenty years from now.

6 White is one of the auspicious whites: 1 White, 6 White, 8 White and 9 Purple are treated together as the favorable group in classical Zi Bai. But to be exact: that is the conventional character of the star, not a verdict on this sector for the year. The same star in a different palace and a different period behaves very differently, and schools read it differently too.

Which signs have their home sector here

Folding the twenty-four mountains into eight sectors, the Goat and the Monkey have their home sector in the Southwest. There is more on the Goat planning page and the Monkey planning page.

Which months a monthly star presses this sector

The annual chart holds still all year; the monthly chart is replaced at every solar term. These are the months a monthly star passes through the Southwest (only the three people ask about).

Monthly 5 Yellow: Li Qiu
Monthly 2 Black: Li Chun, Li Dong
Monthly 8 White: Li Xia

In Xiao Shu the monthly and annual stars here are both 6 White: that month the entire monthly chart coincides with the annual one, all nine palaces alike.

To be explicit: how to read an annual and a monthly star stacked together is exactly where schools disagree. Some treat the monthly star as a minor adjustment; others hold that only an annual and monthly affliction together counts. This page lays both charts out and points at where they coincide. What to conclude from the overlap is not ours to decide for you. The full month-by-month table is on the 2027 month-by-month page.

What can usefully be done here this year

This site only gives sector advice that no school has to vouch for: in the Southwest, what is worth doing is clearing it once, airing it once, and lighting what should be lit. The benefit comes from daylight, air quality and storage, and owes nothing to any school.

As for what to place or hang as a cure, published sources contradict each other and we give no recipe. We would rather state only the derivable part (which star, which palace, how the elements relate, what standing it has this period) than manufacture a consensus that does not exist.

Is the Southwest a groundbreaking taboo this year?

This year the Southwest carries: the Grand Duke (Wei (未) mountain, 202.5°–217.5°); the Robbery Sha of the Three Killings (Shen (申) mountain, 232.5°–247.5°). Avoid groundbreaking here this year (digging, wall work, major renovation); everyday use, cleaning and airing are not affected.

Of the three mountains in the Southwest, only Wei (未) mountain and Shen (申) mountain are restricted; Kun (坤) mountain is not.

Where the line sits, before we go further

Annual flying stars belong to Xuan Kong feng shui and describe building sectors, not people. This site gives them their own layer so that "luck" does not turn into one undifferentiated blur. Stars describe space; BaZi describes a person. You can read both; you cannot add their conclusions together.

There is more than one flying-star school, but separate two things. The charting itself is not in dispute: the annual and the monthly star each follow a single formula, and our results cross-check against an ephemeris library year by year and month by month. What is disputed is how to use them: whether an annual and a monthly star landing together counts as doubled, which cure the 5 Yellow sector needs, whether 2 Black wants metal. So this cluster lays out both charts in full and leaves the reading to you; cures and objects are still deliberately absent. Avoiding groundbreaking in the 5 Yellow sector, by contrast, is a broad consensus, listed with the Grand Duke, Year Breaker, Three Killings and Hidden Sword in the groundbreaking table.

If you want something to act on, here is the part no school has to vouch for: light the corner, clear the clutter, keep the rooms you actually use clean and ventilated. That works whether or not flying stars are real.
