What the South palace is

Li is Fire: brightness, adherence, being seen. It is the most visible corner of the nine palaces: reputation, exposure, recognition. Its upside is presence and distinctiveness; its downside is empty flame: all glow, no substance.

Li is the middle daughter, and by extension culture, media, energy: anything that earns its living by being looked at.

The south side usually takes the strongest light, so living rooms and main balconies tend to be there. Good southern light is a physical fact, not a metaphysical one.

The 4 Green · Wen Qu star arrives here in 2027

4 Green · Wen Qu is Wood, its own home is the Xun palace (Southeast), and it governs study, exams, networks (also romance). In 2027 it flies into the Li palace in the South: the palace is Fire, the two form star drains into palace, which means the star gives its strength to the palace, so its character shows loosely.

Then the period. We are in Period 9 of the Lower Era (2024–2043), whose ruling star is 9 Purple. Counting back from there, 4 Green 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.

4 Green is conventionally counted among the unfavorable stars. 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 Horse have their home sector in the South. There is more on the Horse 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 South (only the three people ask about).

Monthly 5 Yellow: Mang Zhong
Monthly 2 Black: Bai Lu
Monthly 8 White: Jing Zhe, Da Xue

In Xiao Shu the monthly and annual stars here are both 4 Green: 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 South, 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 South a groundbreaking taboo this year?

This year the South carries: the Hidden Sword (whole palace, opposite the Five Yellow). Avoid groundbreaking here this year (digging, wall work, major renovation); everyday use, cleaning and airing are not affected.

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.

In the 2027 Ding Wei year 9 Purple You Bi enters the center and the stars fly forward, which puts 4 Green · Wen Qu in the South. That sector is the Li palace, element Fire; the star is Wood, so they form star drains into palace and the star is drained.

Is 4 Green a good star or a bad one?

Schools also differ on application.

This site gives only advice that needs no school behind it: clear the sector once, air it, and light what should be lit. The benefit comes from daylight, air quality and storage.
