This month, I would like to use Flying Star analysis to talk about luck in each sector of 2009. Flying Star analysis is ideal for looking into the luck of the eight sectors. It could be used to determine good and bad directions, and also to tell us how to enhance good luck.

If you have this series, you would know that there are good and bad stars. The directions in blue constitute good sectors while the red, naturally, represents the bad sectors.

The most important thing in this analysis is the centre grid. For 2009, Purple Star Nine is located in the centre, and as mentioned before it could be a good or bad star.

Star Nine could bring about good news, prosperity and happiness. On the other hand, it could also cause illness and be a bearer of bad news. What I am going to share with you next is for houses that have good Mountain Star and Water Star in the Centre Sector. Houses that have bad star combinations in this sector ((like Period Seven or east, west, south and north-facing houses) should enhance the Centre Sector in 2009.

For houses that have good star combinations in the Centre Sector, Purple Star Nine will bring good luck if you are able to activate the star. What can you do?

Purple Star Nine is the only star that is Fire in element. In order to activate this star, you would need to place Fire and Wood Energy in the Centre Sector of the house. You could place red décor in the middle like a rug or a flower vase with red flowers on a console table in the Centre Sector. You could also place red candles in the middle of the dining or coffee table in the living hall. Indeed, the centre of any sector is fine. Naturally, the best would be the centre of the house.

The Best Sector is the south-east. This is because Wealth Star Eight is located in the south-east for 2009. This is very auspicious as south-east is also the Wealth Sector under the Eight Aspiration Feng Shui. Houses that have the Wealth Spot in the south-east could bring about tremendous Wealth Luck in 2009. You must activate the Wealth Spot with a water feature; the best is to build a fish pond or just a pond in the south-east sector.

For those whose south-east sector is not a Wealth Spot, you could place lots of water plants in this area to enhance your Wealth Luck. This is because the south-east is the wood sector, so placing a water element or plants would enhance it and bring wealth luck to you.

The other good sector is the south-west. Heaven Star Six is in the south-west for 2009. It could bring Heaven Luck as well as indirect Wealth Luck. Yes, you could strike the lottery or four-digit if you are lucky. A little secret: the best months would be July, March, April, May, December and January of the following year.

If this is also the Wealth Spot of your house, the star could also bring you Good Wealth Luck in 2009. You must activate Wealth Luck with a fish pond or water feature. Remember that south-west is also the direction of the Indirect Spirit of Period Eight, thus the wealth luck in this sector in 2009 could be even stronger. Do not miss this opportunity!

For a house where the south-west does not have a good water star, you could place a ‘wealth ship’ or gold ingots in this sector of the house to enhance your wealth luck. You could also place a bowl of water here. This sector also represents women, so ladies you could have better wealth luck in 2009.

The other good sector is the north-west, where the White Star One is located. This is also a good star; it could bring good Wealth Luck as well as political luck, more so for men with political aspirations. This is because the north-west represents the man of the house. Also expect to see better political stability around the world.

The north-west is also a metal sector, so place lots of metallic decorations in this corner to enhance Star One. As Earth produces metal, you could also place a crystal item in this sector in 2009. Remember, the more the better. At work, place lots of metal decorations or white paper (the colour also represents metal) on the north-west corner of your desk. Of course, the best Feng Shui item in this sector in 2009 will be a dragon tortoise.

The other good sector is the south though it went through a rather tough time in 2008, thanks in part to Five Yellow in this sector. But do not worry – good luck is coming your way. This is good news for those whose house faces south or was born in the Year of the Horse.

How this affects one’s luck for 2009 will have the Romance Star and Education Star Four in the south to thank for 2009. Star Four can bring about romance as well as education luck. For those who are looking for a partner, place some fresh flowers in water in the south corner of your house. But for those who are already married, doing so can create ‘external’ romance, which is naturally not welcomed in a husband-wife relationship. So, if you belong to the latter category, do not place too much water and definitely no fresh flowers in the south this year. Instead, place a pair of mandarin ducks in this spot to enhance your marital relationship.

Those studying or have school-going children (and especially those sitting for exams this year), the south sector is very important for you. Try to study in this sector in 2009. You could also place a globe or pagoda in the south to enhance your study luck.

For those seeking a better business year, (more so if you are in the sales line), the south sector is important too. Place some form of ‘Fire Energy’ in this sector to enhance sales and human relationship luck.

Knowing your Feng Shui is not merely about worrying whether your year is going to be good or bad. All you would need to do each year is update the Feng Shui of your house, shop or office. Having talked about the good sectors, here is how you can overcome the bad sectors.

The worst sector for 2009 is the north because the Five Yellow Star is located here. This could bring misfortune, severe illness, accidents and loss of wealth, especially to those who have property facing north.

What you must do in 2009 is to place a Five Element Pagoda in the north sector. If you are not able to do that, the next best thing is to place lots of metallic items in the north. Anything metallic that you could think of is good enough. Remember that you should not place a crystal in the north. You should also not paint any wall in the north in red, pink, purple, yellow or beige in 2009. In addition, try not to dig and cut tress in the north.

Do note that if your house faces North-east Two and South-west Two (Period Seven property), and East Two and West Two (Period Eight property), the north sector could bring severe illness that could be fatal – especially in the months of March, July, October and December. Try not to sleep in a room located in the north. If you cannot do that, at least do not sleep in the room during these months. Otherwise, place a Five Element pagoda, Six Emperor coins or lots of metallic items in the room.

The other bad sector is the west with the presence of Illness Star Two here. This too could bring illness to those in this sector. You would also need to place lots of metallic items in the west corner; and if your bedroom is in the west, be extra careful in the months of April, July, September and January.

The Robbery Star is in the East in 2009 and could cause possible break-ins and robberies through this sector, especially in properties that have their main or back doors in the east or facing east. You would need to place a rhino figurine facing the door, or blue rug or water plant in this sector to elicit some ‘protection’.

Another bad sector is the north-east. Quarrelsome Star Three is located here in 2009 and could cause misunderstandings and arguments. If a problem becomes serious, it could also bring about legal problems for you. To somewhat rectify this situation, place lots of red decorations in this sector to counter any afflictions. Remember not to place water or plants here as either could enhance the power of Quarrelsome Star Three.

There is no doubt that 2009 will be a challenging year. If you refer to recent financial reports, most of them have said a recession is on the horizon. There are two things you could do: one is to worry about it and the other is to be prepared. I believe Feng Shui could make a difference. If you know how to overcome the bad and enhance the good, you will be able to enjoy a relatively good year.

I do not believe property prices will go down. In fact, the prices in good areas could certainly increase. There will be more construction and development works in 2009 due to the strong earth element and I believe this will help other industries and provide the market a boost.
