What the West palace is

Dui is Lake: pleasure, and the mouth. It is the outward-facing, talking side of the chart. Its upside is social skill, negotiation, persuasion. Its downside is exactly gossip: saying too much, saying the wrong thing, not being able to take it back.

Dui is the youngest daughter, and by extension entertainment, hospitality, sales: anything that earns its living by talking.

The west of a home is often the dining area, a second bedroom, or the wall that takes the afternoon sun. In warm climates a west-facing room genuinely bakes in summer; that is physics, and it needs no school of thought to back it.

The 2 Black · Ju Men star arrives here in 2027

2 Black · Ju Men is Earth, its own home is the Kun palace (Southwest), and it governs worry and stagnation. In 2027 it flies into the Dui palace in the West: the palace is Metal, 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, 2 Black is currently Advancing: two periods out, on its way. Standing is relative to the period, not a permanent property of the star: the same star reads completely differently twenty years from now.

2 Black 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 Rooster have their home sector in the West. There is more on the Rooster 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 West (only the three people ask about).

Monthly 5 Yellow: Qing Ming, Xiao Han
Monthly 2 Black: Xiao Shu
Monthly 8 White: Han Lu

In Xiao Shu the monthly and annual stars here are both 2 Black: 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 West, 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 West a groundbreaking taboo this year?

This year the West carries: the Calamity Sha of the Three Killings (You (酉) mountain, 262.5°–277.5°). Avoid groundbreaking here this year (digging, wall work, major renovation); everyday use, cleaning and airing are not affected.

Of the three mountains in the West, only You (酉) mountain is restricted; Geng (庚) mountain and Xin (辛) mountain are 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.
