September is an unusually powerful month because every Flying Star doubles up. The monthly stars fly into exactly the same sectors as their annual counterparts, strengthening everything already present in the year’s chart. Thus the lucky sectors become even luckier, while the afflicted sectors need considerably more care.
The good news is that the Victory Star 1 doubles in the Centre, filling the center of the chart with the energy of victory, new beginnings and forward movement. This is a wonderful indication for everyone, bringing renewed momentum and the ability to overcome obstacles that may have been holding you back. Career advancement, business breakthroughs and competitive success are strongly favoured, and September is definitely a month to move confidently towards your goals.
There is plenty more good fortune to tap. The East, Southeast, North and Northeast all enjoy doubled auspicious stars, bringing a wonderful mix of wealth, recognition, Heaven luck, creativity, romance and helpful people. These are the parts of the home you should use, energise and spend more time in this month.
But when stars double, the troublesome ones double too.
The South is by far the most dangerous sector, with not one but two Five Yellow Stars bringing obstacles and misfortune. The Southwest has the double 7, increasing risk of loss and betrayal; the West has the double 3, making tempers flare more easily; while the Northwest’s double 2 weakens health and vitality.
So September is very much a month of knowing where the good fortune lies and making full use of it, while leaving the afflicted sectors well alone. Keep your annual cures firmly in place, strengthen them where necessary, and concentrate your activities in the lucky parts of the home.

SOUTHEAST – Fame & Opportunity
The Southeast is the luckiest sector this month, with the double #9 bringing fame, recognition, good news and exciting opportunities for advancement. If you want to get noticed, win support for your ideas or propel your career or business forward, spend more time here and keep this sector active. Display the 9 Rod Abacus or Period 9 Tortoise in the Southeast to strengthen the excellent prosperity energies here. Keep this part of the home bright and lively but avoid excessive Fire energy; with two #9 stars present, there can be too much of a good thing.

SOUTH – Double Five Yellow & Completion Luck
The monthly Five Yellow joins the annual Five Yellow in the South, making its troublesome energies particularly strong. This can bring obstacles and illness, so keep this sector quiet and avoid excessive disturbance here. There is, however, a silver lining. The two #5 stars add up to 10, forming the Sum-of-Ten, which brings powerful completion luck and helps bring projects and plans to a successful conclusion. So while the Five Yellow needs subduing, there is good fortune here to tap once its dangerous energies are brought under control. Set up both the large and small Heart Sutra Pagoda in the South. Tap the Sum-of-Ten with the Completion Horse.

SOUTHWEST – Money Loss
The double #7 makes the Southwest vulnerable to robbery, betrayal and financial loss this month. It can also increase the risk of accidents and injury, so be more careful with your personal safety and whom you trust. Display the Active Rhino & Elephant in the Southwest to keep the #7 under control. If your main door or bedroom is here, strengthen protection with the Anti-Burglary Plaque, and be extra vigilant with your money and valuables.

EAST – Excellent Wealth Luck
The East becomes a wealth hotspot this month, with the double #8 bringing excellent prospects for making money, growing a business and building assets. If you have an important financial decision to make, a deal to close or sales to generate, make good use of the East. Spend more time here and, where possible, conduct important business from this sector while facing one of your favourable directions. Activate the double #8 with the Lap Chun Wealth Tree or Water Dragon Faucet to strengthen wealth and income luck.

CENTER – Victory & New Opportunities
September puts two Victory Stars right at the heart of the chart, giving everyone a welcome boost of forward-moving energy. The #1 brings new opportunities and the ability to triumph over competition, and when doubled, gives fresh impetus to your ambitions. This is excellent energy for career advancement, business growth and new income opportunities. Display the Victory Flag in the Centre to strengthen success and competitive luck, or the Trinity of Horses to get stalled plans moving again. And because the #1 also brings the luck of new beginnings, don’t be afraid to start something new this month.

WEST – Quarrelsome Energies
The double #3 makes the West especially quarrelsome this month, causing tempers to flare and small disagreements to escalate far too easily. It can also bring gossip, slander and problems with the law, so choose your battles carefully and don’t let other people provoke you into saying or doing something you may regret. Display Ksitigarbha’s Fireball & Staff or the “Tai Kat Tai Ley” Apple Enhancer in the West to calm conflict energies. As Fire exhausts the Wood energy of the #3, adding red furnishings or the Red Horse & Clover Fortune Cushions also works well. Remove plants from this sector for the month and keep noise and activity levels down.

NORTHEAST – Love, Networking & Creativity
The Northeast sparkles with double #4 energy this month, bringing excellent luck for romance, networking, studies and creative pursuits. This is a wonderful sector for meeting new people and making useful connections, while singles looking for love may find themselves attracting plenty of attention. Activate romance luck with the Peach Blossom Peony Love Box. Students, writers and anyone sitting for exams can make good use of the double #4 by studying or working in the Northeast and displaying the Swan of Saraswati or Mini Saraswati Plaque here. But keep Water energy to a minimum, as too much can turn romantic attention into complications and unwanted entanglements.

NORTH – Heaven Luck & Windfalls
The North becomes exceptionally lucky this month with two #6 Heaven Stars, bringing windfalls, helpful people and opportunities that seem to arrive just when you need them. This is excellent energy for career advancement and business, and can bring unexpected gains as well as support from influential people. Activate the North with Ksiddigarbha on Chi Lin for career luck, and the Three-Legged Toad with Pearl to attract new income streams. Try to spend more time here this month, and make the most of the excellent chi while it lasts.

NORTHWEST – Low Energy levels
The double #2 Illness Stars weaken the Northwest this month, making occupants more susceptible to tiredness, lowered immunity and falling ill. As the Northwest represents the Patriarch, fathers and male heads of households should take particular care of their health and avoid overexerting themselves. Display the 9 Prosperity Wu Lou or Sky Bat in the Northwest to suppress illness chi. If your bedroom is here, the Long Life Vase with Ling Zhi provides additional protection. Elderly or unwell family members should, if possible, spend less time in this sector this month.
