Mar – 3 (Tue)
The above days were flagged based solely on Almanac considerations. Those who had your Natal Chart read by me might have been given other dates to consider. Feel free to reach out if you are unsure.
When virtuous days overlap with any of the clashing, punishing or piercing days, the virtuous is meant to weaken the negative effects of clashing, punishing or piercing days.
Do note that difficult people or situation does not automatically resolved on virtuous days. It is just that the difficult people is likely to be less difficult as usual; or some resources or person with influence come forward to offer help or insight to the difficult people or situation.
🧭Feng Shui Caution
Context
As mentoned in the CNY Tips, the full Annual Flying Stars is to be read in pair to one’s House Flying Stars or Monthly Flying Stars for full comprehension of the influence that can have for people active at relevant sector. House Flying Stars is calculated based on the main entrance facing. Clients who had their Fengshui auditted by me would know based on the report I have for them.
Hence, the Monthly Flying Star in this context is to understand whether it strengthens or weakens the effect of the Annual Flying Star.
How It Works
The Flying Stars combination effects are likely to happen if that sector has window or an entrance to the space. It is also likely to happen if your Natal Chart annual trend has signs similar to what the Flying Stars combination describes.
If the description is not helpful and you wish to avoid, do not be active in that sector for over 2 hours consecutively.
Try to take a break of 10 minutes at other sectors.
- North – Academic meets Wealth
Not exactly a challenging sector but not helpful if you already have existing liver or gallbladder issues; and tends to drive fast. - Northeast – Sickness meets Academic
Not exactly a challenging sector but not helpful if you already have existing digestive or cranial nerves issues. - East – Wealth meets Fortune
Can be helpful sector to aid promotion or opening up new opportunities. However, these Stars are losing influences hence the aforesaid helpful outcome can be limited. The Yin and Yang Noblemen in this sector may act as supplement. - Southeast – Thievery meets Happiness
Challenging sector. Can lead to poisoning or fire. - South – Conflict meets Misfortune
Challenging sector. With Tai Sui also sitting in this sector, can lead to conflict, traffic accident and not helpful if you already have existing liver or foot issues. - Southwest – Misfortune meets Thievery
Challenging sector. Can lead to conflict and legal troubles and not helpful if you already have existing gastric, oral, abdomen or respiratory issues, - West – Officer meets Conflict
Can be helpful sector to aid in showcasing talent. However, Conflict is losing influence hence the aforesaid helpful outcome can be limited. - Northwest – Happiness meets Sickness
As the Stars are gaining influnces, can be helpful in attracting wealth and improvement in studies.
