LUCKY SECTORS THIS MONTH
The North (6,1), Southwest (7,2), Southeast (9,4), and East (8,3) are strengthened by auspicious Ho Tu combinations. In the West, the Sum-of-Ten brings completion luck, helping bring things to a successful close. The Northeast hosts the Heaven Star, bringing windfalls and the luck of influential people helping you.
UNLUCKY SECTORS
The 5 Yellow occupies the Center sector, triggering disharmony. Everyone benefits from carrying the Heart Sutra Pagoda this month. The South hosts the 9 Star, which, though auspicious, amplifies the influence of the 5 Yellow here, making this sector volatile – so the South is best kept quiet and undisturbed this month.
MAY 2026 FLYING STAR
In each of the 9 grids, you will find 2 numbers. The big number indicates the annual star and the small number indicates the monthly star. Use a reliable compass to determine your directions or locations.

SOUTHEAST – Creative, Romance & Business Luck Flourish!
The Southeast is highly active, with the 9 Star amplifying the 4 Star. This brings strong study and academic luck. Ideas flow easily and results come when you stay focused. Students should make full use of this sector. Place the Swan of Saraswati here to support top performance. There is also good romance luck; activate with the Peach Blossom Peony Love Box to attract new love or to strengthen existing relationships. The 4-9 combination meanwhile forms the Ho Tu which brings business and commercial success; useful if you are expanding your ventures. Keep this area bright and active. A very fortunate sector this month.

SOUTH – Wealth & Windfalls, But Don’t Overactivate
While the South is afflicted this year with the annual Five Yellow, the arrival of the 9 Star this month does much to lift up the energies of this sector, bringing opportunities for wealth and even windfall gains. Great news for homes facing South and those whose main doors are located in the South sector. Tap into this wealth luck by displaying a 9-Rod Abacus in this part of the home. But because the annual Five Yellow is still present, avoid over-activating this area. Steer clear of bright lights, loud noise or excessive activity here, as these can trigger its negative effects.

SOUTHWEST – Illness But with Hidden Wealth Luck
The Southwest governs the matriarch, and this month the Illness Star settles here, so health matters cannot be taken lightly, especially for the lady of the house. If you sleep or spend long hours in this sector, pay attention to your body and deal with issues early. Subdue illness chi with a Long Life Vase with Ling Zhi. But this is not all bad news. The 2 combines with the 7 to form a powerful Ho Tu, unlocking unexpected wealth potential. Activate with a Ho Tu Enhancing Mirror. But remember that the 7 Star is still a Loss Star. While money can come in, it can just as easily flow out again. Protect what you earn with a Treasure Dog, keeping your wealth intact while you benefit from the Ho Tu gains.

EAST – Conflict Energy But With Leadership Potential
The East holds the annual Wealth Star 8, but this month the visiting 3 stirs up quarrels and unnecessary stress. Left unchecked, this can weaken one’s ability to manage money well. Keep this sector quiet and avoid windchimes or anything that makes noise here. Place Ksiddigarbha’s Fireball & Staff here to prevent conflict from escalating. If this is your bedroom, be mindful; it is easy to overreact under this influence. But the star combination also forms the Ho Tu that brings leadership potential, and the chance to step into positions of greater authority. Activate with Ho Tu Enhancing Mirror or Chi Lin. At the same time, support the underlying wealth luck with a Wealth Abacus to keep finances steady.

CENTER – Beware Misfortune; Must Remedy
The Five Yellow moves into the center sector, which affects everyone – so everyone needs to be extra careful this month. This star brings not just money loss, but also obstacles of all kinds and health issues if left unchecked. Place a Mini Heart Sutra Pagoda in the centre of your home to keep the monthly Five Yellow energy under control. If you are older or are currently facing health challenges, we suggest you also carry the Triple Blessings Wu Lou Amulet or wear the Healing Snake Mantra Ring with Medicine Buddha’s mantra etched on the inside.

WEST – Risk of Loss But Completion Luck Present
If your main door is located West, be careful. The star combination here can cause conflict and money loss. Display the Active Rhino & Elephant here, and if your bedroom is located West, also carry the Anti-Burglary Amulet, especially when out late or travelling. But the West also holds a hidden advantage. The combination here forms the Sum-of-Ten, bringing strong completion luck and the kind of energy that helps you finish what you start. Activate with the Perfect 10 Completion Horse. With your remedies in place, you can turn what looks like a difficult sector into one that delivers more than satisfying results.

NORTHEAST – Wealth Star Needs Activation!
The Wealth Star arrives in the NE, bringing opportunities for business gains and financial breakthroughs. This is valuable wealth energy, but in Period 9, the 8 is a weakening star, so it must be strongly activated to deliver results. Do not leave this sector quiet. Without activation, the 8 star can stagnate and even manifest as low energy or health issues. Awaken its wealth potential by placing a Water Dragon Faucet or Lap Chun Wealth Tree here. Keep this area lively, with movement, light and activity to get money flowing. When properly activated, the Northeast becomes a powerful wealth corner, helping you unlock new opportunities and turn potential into real financial gains.

NORTH – Strong Career & Victory Luck
The North brings career advancement and financial opportunities. If you’ve been aiming for a promotion, this is the time to step forward and go for it. The energy here supports those who are ambitious. Activate with Kwan Kung on Horseback to strengthen promotion prospects. To ensure success without obstacles in things you are pursuing, place a Victory Flag in this sector. When activated, the North this month helps you turn effort into real and visible results.

NORTHWEST – Heaven Luck & Support from Mentors
The arrival of the Heaven Star brings powerful mentor luck and opportunities that can lift you to the next level. This is the kind of energy that opens doors, and often at just the right time. Activate with a 3-Legged Toad with Giant Pearl and Sky Bull for wealth and good timing. Enhance career recognition with Kwan Kung on Horseback, especially if seeking promotion or stronger influence at work. But the annual Illness Star still lingers here, so do not leave this sector unprotected; place an Antahkarana Windchime here.
