Feng Shui 2027: The Flying Star Chart, Your Kua and Simple Tips
In 2027 the 9 Purple sits in the centre and the 5 Yellow moves to the North, from Lichun on February 4, 2027 at 09:46 (UTC+8) until Lichun 2028. The Tai Sui sits in the Southwest, the Year Breaker in the Northeast and the Three Killings in the West; every sector is explained below in plain language.
The 2027 chart at a glance
| In force | 2027-02-04 09:46 to 2028-02-04 15:31 (UTC+8, Lichun to Lichun) |
|---|---|
| Centre | 9 Purple (the star of Period 9) |
| 5 Yellow | North |
| Tai Sui | Southwest (未 mountain, 202.5°–217.5°) |
| Year Breaker | Northeast (丑 mountain, 22.5°–37.5°) |
| Three Killings | West (申酉戌) |
| Period | Period 9 (2024–2043) |
The 9 Purple rules Period 9 (2024–2043) and reaches the centre once every nine years, so a bright, open middle of the home suits the year.

Month by month: where the 5 Yellow moves
Months start at the solar terms. In the Goat month (July 7 to August 8, 2027) the monthly 5 joins the annual 5 in the North: a month to keep that sector especially quiet.

| 寅 month | 2027-02-04 | 5 | Centre |
| 卯 month | 2027-03-06 | 4 | Northwest |

Your kua number and directions
The Eight Mansions method gives each person a kua number from the solar birth year (it turns at Lichun) and sex at birth: 1, 3, 4 and 9 form the East group, 2, 6, 7 and 8 the West group, each with four favourable directions. Births on February 3–5 need the birth time, because the year turns on Lichun day. The table shows each kua's Vitality direction and the 2027 star in that sector.
| Kua | Trigram | Group | Best direction | 2027 star in that sector |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kua 1 | Kan (Water) | East group (1, 3, 4, 9) | Southeast (Vitality) | 8 · savings, property and steady growth |
| Kua 2 | Kun (Earth) | West group (2, 6, 7, 8) | Northeast (Vitality) | 3 · debate and friction |
| Kua 3 | Zhen (Thunder) | East group (1, 3, 4, 9) | South (Vitality) | 4 · study, writing and romance |
| Kua 4 | Xun (Wind) | East group (1, 3, 4, 9) | North (Vitality) | 5 · the year's most unsettled sector |
| Kua 6 | Qian (Heaven) | West group (2, 6, 7, 8) | West (Vitality) | 2 · rest and recovery |
| Kua 7 | Dui (Lake) | West group (2, 6, 7, 8) | Northwest (Vitality) | 1 · new starts and networking |
| Kua 8 | Gen (Mountain) | West group (2, 6, 7, 8) | Southwest (Vitality) | 6 · leadership and support from mentors |
| Kua 9 | Li (Fire) | East group (1, 3, 4, 9) | East (Vitality) | 7 · carelessness and loss |
How to use it at home
- Stand in the middle of your home and find the eight directions with a phone compass.
- Match rooms to sectors: lively sectors suit living rooms and desks; quiet sectors suit bedrooms and storage.
- Open Home Map 2027, add your household, and see each person's desk and bed directions.
Keep the chart on the wall
The Nine Palace Home Plaque 2027 ($39) prints this chart as a 15 cm piece with a swappable yearly ring, and the 2028 ring ($12) ships before Lichun 2028. Cultural decor and a reminder, not a remedy.
Questions about feng shui in 2027
Where is the 5 Yellow star in 2027?
In the North. With 9 in the centre, the Luo Shu path puts the 5 in the North from Lichun, February 4, 2027, until Lichun, February 4, 2028.
When does the 2027 flying star chart start?
At Lichun (Start of Spring): February 4, 2027 at 09:46 Hong Kong time. Not on January 1 and not on Lunar New Year.
Where are the Tai Sui, Year Breaker and Three Killings in 2027?
Tai Sui in the Southwest (未), the Year Breaker in the Northeast (丑) and the Three Killings in the West (申酉戌). Tradition advises against starting major renovation in those sectors this year.
How is a kua number calculated?
From the solar birth year (it turns at Lichun): take the year modulo 9 as r; men (11 − r), women (r + 4), modulo 9 with 0 as 9. A 5 becomes 2 for men and 8 for women. Our Home Map does this for you, including births before Lichun.
