In 2025, the 24 Mountain Stars chart reveals a challenging year ahead, with a significant imbalance between fortunate and unfortunate energies. With only 6 auspicious stars against 18 inauspicious ones, the presence of negative Chi is considerable, underscoring the importance of proactive feng shui practices.
By placing appropriate cures and enhancers in your home’s key sectors, you can mitigate the effects of the less favorable stars and create a more harmonious and promising start to the Year of the Snake. Pay close attention to this year’s energy flow to safeguard your luck and well-being.
Remember that while the Year of the Snake begins in January, the energies have already started to transform, so we advise placing your safeguards by December of 2024.
Here we walk you through the stars, with advice on how best to make the most of them.
24 MOUNTAINS STARS YOU SHOULD ACTIVATE!
BIG AUSPICIOUS STARS
The Big Auspicious Stars are among the most powerful in the feng shui cosmos, capable of ushering in transformative positive changes. Their energy can propel you to exceptional heights of success, delivering grand opportunities, substantial windfalls and even life-changing fortune. Think lottery wins, lucrative promotions and unexpected blessings.
In 2025, the South basks in the vibrant energy of three Big Auspicious Stars, while the North sector benefits from the influence of one. To fully activate and harness these potent energies, you can place the Big Auspicious Pi Xie or 5 Element Lucky Dice in these areas to invite immense good fortune into your life.
Those born in the years of the Rat, Snake, Horse, Sheep and Boar, as well as those living in South-facing homes or with bedrooms located in the South enjoy direct benefits from these energies. To ensure you enjoy these blessings wherever you go, you may want to consider keeping the Big Auspicious Amulet with you at all times.
HEAVEN SEAL STAR
This celestial star attracts divine assistance, mentors, benefactors and unexpected windfalls, empowering you to manifest your greatest aspirations. In 2025, this star appears in the Southwest 3 sector, offering its powerful support to those residing in SW-facing homes or with bedrooms in this sector.
To full tap into this star’s benevolent energies, place Pu Hsien Pusa seated on her sacred elephant in this part of the home. Those born in years of the Monkey are especially blessed by this star’s influence and can amplify the star’s benefits by carrying the Heaven Seal Amulet.
TAI SUI OF THE YEAR
GET THE YEAR GOD ON YOUR SIDE!
In 2025, the Tai Sui of the year – General Wu Sui – resides in the Southeast 3 sector. The Tai Sui of the year always offers his powerful backing and protection when he is honoured properly. To stay in his good graces, place the 2025 Tai Sui Plaque in the Southeast of your home or office.
It is crucial to avoid offending the Tai Sui, as doing so can invite unnecessary challenges into your life. You must NEVER confront the Tai Sui, thus in 2025, you should NOT FACE Southeast, even if Southeast may be a lucky feng shui direction for you under the Kua formula of feng shui.
Ensure that seating arrangements in dining and living spaces do not directly face Southeast, and refrain from undertaking renovations, drilling or any form of disruptive activity in the SE sector throughout the year.
Meanwhile, take note that those born in the years of the Snake, Monkey, Tiger and Boar are particularly affected by the Tai Sui’s influence in 2025. To safeguard against potential difficulties, these animal signs should carry the 2025 Tai Sui Amulet as a personal talisman for protection and good fortune.
STARS THAT NEED REMEDYING
NATURAL DISASTER STAR
The Natural Disaster Star carries the disruptive energy of large-scale calamities, often manifesting as floods, fires, earthquakes, etc. Its impact can lead to significant material loss, physical harm and emotional turmoil, making it essential to neutralize this star’s malevolent force. In 2025, this star resides in the East, the home sector of the Rabbit. To suppress its harmful energies, we strongly suggest displaying the Luck Transforming Fan in this sector.
If you are born in a Rabbit year, OR if your main door or bedroom is in the East, take additional precaution by wearing the Luck Transforming Fan Pin or carry the 4 Weapons Protection Amulet. These measures will help shield you from the potential misfortunes associated with this star.
THE THREE KILLINGS
In 2025, the Three Killings affliction moves to the East, posing the threat of 3kinds of misfortune: loss of wealth, loss of a loved one, and loss of reputation. To neutralize these harmful energies, you can display the 3 Celestials Plaque in the East of your home or workplace.
Those living in East-facing homes or with bedrooms in the East are especially vulnerable and should carry the 3 Celestials Amulet for added protection.
Additionally, it is imperative to avoid sitting facing West this year, as this puts your back to the 3 Killings, which can be exceptionally dangerous. Do not sit with your back to the East!
Note also that homes that face West are particularly at risk, as they “sit” in the afflicted East. If your home faces West, you should safeguard yourself by carrying the Four Weapons Protection Amulet, or you can also wear the Hot Air Balloon Scarf which comes with 4 strong protective amulets. These will help strengthen your defenses against this star’s adverse effects.
YEARLY KILLINGS & YEARLY CONFLICT STARS
The Yearly Killings affliction lands in the Dragon sector of SE1, while the 5 Yearly Conflict stars spread their discordant energies across the Southeast, Southwest, Northwest and North sectors. These stars emit strong Yin energy, which can weaken inner Chi and stir up tension within relationships, including intergenerational conflicts, marital discord caused by third parties and heightened sibling rivalry.
To counter these disruptive influences, you should correct the energies in the affected sectors with the Anti-Conflict Rooster. Or you can also use element theory and incorporate vibrant red elements, such as red carpets and red cushion covers. Fire element energy disrupts the potency of the conflict Chi, while uplifting the space with Yang energy and neutralising the disharmony.
Protecting areas afflicted by these stars is key to maintaining peace and stability in your home through the year, particularly if these stars occupy sectors of the home where the family spends a lot of time.
YIN HOUSE STAR
The Yin House Star saps Yang energy, leading to feelings of demotivation, negativity and even depression. In 2025, this afflictive star resides in the West and Northwest, directly impacting the youngest daughter and the Patriarch of the household. Those with main doors or bedrooms in these sectors are also more vulnerable and should take steps to counter its effects.
To elevate the depleted Yang energy in these areas, keep the lights on frequently, and do what you can to brighten the space. Display the Yang More Than Yin Mirror to rebalance the energy flow. Those affected can also wear the Sky Deer Charm Bracelet to reinforce personal protection and positivity. These remedies will help maintain emotional well-being and restore motivation through the year.
SUI PO STAR
The Sui Po Star sits directly opposite the Tai Sui on the 24 Mountains compass, creating tension and discord by challenging the Tai Sui’s authority. In 2025, this star occupies Northwest 3, and its disruptive energy must be carefully managed to avoid conflicts and misfortunes. This star particularly affects those born in years of the Boar.
To pacify these energies, place the 2025 Tai Sui Plaque in the Southeast, aligning with the Tai Sui’s location. Additionally, display a pair of Pi Yao in the Northwest, positioned to face Southeast; this will help appease the Sui Po Star and harmonize the energy flow in your space.
WU DUO STAR
The Wu Duo Star casts a shadow over relationships in 2025, bringing stress and interpersonal challenges to the North. Married couples with North-facing homes, or with bedrooms in the North may experience increased tension and difficulty in maintaining understanding and unity.
To counteract this star’s negative energy, display the Luck Transforming Fan in the North of the home. This will help dispel its harmful influence, restore balance and foster harmony within the home.
ROBBERY STAR
In 2025, the Robbery Star occupies Northeast 3, bringing the risk of financial loss through theft, scams or burglary. This star poses a significant threat to wealth and assets, making it crucial to take preventative measures. To neutralize, place the Magic Peacock with Anti-Burglary Plaque in this sector of your home or office.
Those born in Tiger years, and those living in NE-facing homes or with bedrooms in the NE, should be especially vigilant. Enhance your home’s security, particularly when planning extended trips away. Carry the Peacock Feather Amulet to ward off ill-intentioned individuals and ensure personal protection.
FIVE YELLOW
In 2025, the dreaded Five Yellow Star (aka Wu Wang) takes residence in the Northeast. This star has the potential to trigger financial setbacks, health problems and accidents, making it essential to apply really strong remedies in this sector. Because the NE is an Earth sector, and the Five Yellow is an Earth star, its malevolent energy is strengthened.
To neutralize its harmful effects, place the 5 Element Pagoda with Fu Dogs and 8 Auspicious Objects in the Northeast of your home or workspace.
Note that those born in years of the Tiger or Ox are directly hit, as NE is your home sector, so these signs are advised to clip the amulet version onto your bags. This will help safeguard against the Five Yellow’s negative energy and protect your well-being throughout the year.
