Flying Stars 2026
The new Feng Shui year begins on 4 February 2026, marking the beginning of spring in the Chinese solar calendar (Li Chun). This year is influenced by the fire horse and the number 1 Water Lo Shu star. As the Flying Stars shift, they bring fresh energies to different sectors of a property, reshaping the natal star blueprint. At the same time, the Annual Afflictions relocate within the Lo Shu square, altering which areas are favourable or challenging for construction and renovations.

Flying Stars 2026 - In Practice
This examples in the images above and below show two floor plans with the flying stars 2026 overlaid. Once the site mountain and compass degree measurements are mapped, the 2026 flying star sectors are mapped out. This sets the stage for evaluating key areas like entrances, back doors, and room functions for the year ahead. Every home has a unique energy blueprint, shaped by its site mountain calculation and the movement of annual visiting stars. While these stars bring shifting influences, they carry less weight than fixed stars, such as those in the 8 Mansions system, some of which remain constant while others take years to transition.
Deeper Insights
This page provides an introduction to the annual visiting Flying Stars, but a true Classical Feng Shui analysis goes much further. It examines how these shifting energies interact with the property's natal Flying Star chart. Each sector is a dynamic blend of influences, from the permanent Eight Mansions and the master Lo Shu square to the flying stars of the current fate period. By assessing these layers together, we can determine whether the annual stars unlock hidden potential or trigger disruptive effects. This detailed evaluation is a key part of a full Classical Feng Shui survey.
