Fire Horse Wisdom

April Flying Stars Feng Shui

We began 2025 with all of the Flying Stars DOUBLED in February. Then March didn’t bounce in like a Rabbit, it stomped in like Bunnicula with us in a fight, a battle, and experiencing so much conflict is swirling all over every home. It was an not an energy for the light hearted or the anxious, but rather a rallying cry for a more quiet, reclusive, self-care. How did you experience March? I had so many issues erupt from personal problems to house repairs to glitches and fraud and lost items BUT my business is doing well and I am in good health with wonderful friends. There is it seems always a balance, that goodness glows brighter when we feels thrown into turmoil and darkness. Always look to what is working, what is light-filled, and be grateful for all you do have. April is a new vibe, it is fertile Earth of the Dragon with a heavy Yang Metal sitting atop like a tractor plow cutting into the soil – what are you planting? What are you sowing seeds with the hopes to manifest something in your life? April 5, 2025 is the first day of April according to the Chinese Calendar. This month the Flying Stars are mirroring the Period 9 Stars.

2 Earth with 9 Fire and Visiting 9 Fire – Center Earth

ANNUAL STARS: The Earth here is a comfort to the 2 Star going through transition in Period 9. The 9 Star nourishes the Earthy 2 with Fire which is a caution that the 2 Star reverts to its Yellow Star of Sickness Period 8 tendencies. The risk of Fire related illnesses like heart disease, heartbreak, high blood pressure, stroke, and relationship issues is to be monitored. Best to keep this area calm. A bathroom here will drain wealth. Be mindful of digestive issues too. The 9 Star’s position here for Period 9 coupled with the 2 Star can work to our advantage with wealth, fame, and success.

MONTHLY STARS: For April, the 9 Fire Star magnifies the message for Period 9. Yes, many good things could happen in regards to fame, money, and success but there is a real caution to health and relationships (Venus is still RX).

CURES:

  • Display a singing/ round metal bowl or Dragon Headed Turtle to overcome obstacles.
  • If there is no space for items, hang a black and white prayer or poem in a metal frame that offers a blessing to the family and home.
  • Bring in the color purple to honor the 9 Star like a chunk of amethyst
  • For April – Add a Wu Lou Health Gourd to ensure your health is supported.

Colors: black, gray, silver, black, and brown. Metal furnishings, or painted white, black, or gray. Add a pop of purple.

Avoid: Earthy colors like yellow, tan, peach, Fiery colors like fuchsia, red, or orange, Wood, green, Water, or blue. 

1 Water with 8 Earth and Visiting 8 – South East Wood

ANNUAL STARS: This is a weakening influence especially with the ruling Earth element present to control the 1 Star but there is good fortune to be found here as this star combination brings money luck, future wealth, promotion, success, helpful people, and good relations. This is a good place for an office, teacher, or student. Remember the Grand Duke or Tai Sui is in 142.5-157.5 (home of the Snake), this is very close to the South. DO NOT FACE THIS DIRECTION.

MONTHLY STARS: For April, the 8 Star brings in tremendous wealth, success, promotion, and good fortune making the South East the BEST location for this month. Not just financial good fortune but real estate luck too. Great location for the entrance of a home for sale or for a realtor’s office. CAUTION: The Grand Duke here still demands that we respect this part of our homes and yards by not doing any renovations, constructions, or deep digging.

Cures:

  • Pi Yao beasts facing into that SE3 142.5-157.5 direction.
  • If this is a bedroom and you cannot sleep elsewhere in your home, put a Wu Lou Health Gourd on the bedside table and a Salt Water cure under the bed for protection of your health.
  • Display a 2025 Tai Sui image or Grand Duke statue prominently placed.
  • Do not disturb this area of your home or yard with loud construction, noise, and commotion.
  • Display a Vision Board representing all you long to manifest in 2025 – be bold, brave, and daring in your vision!
  • For April bring in Metal like a pile of Chinese coins, a piggy bank, a chiming clock, or a money toad.

Colors: All shades of Blue with Black, Gray, and some Metal and lush plants.

AVOID: Fire, fiery colors of red, violet, fuchsia, and orange, Earth, yellow, brown, tan, peach, or rust, and shades of green.

6 Metal with 4 Wood with Visiting 4 Star – South Fire

ANNUAL STARS: This is another year with a conflicted Southern sector of the Ba-Gua. The 6 Star controls the 4 Star bringing great wealth, status, fame, rise in power, and success. Be mindful of mental health issues, especially if this is your bedroom. There is also a risk of lung and large intestine illness. 

MONTHLY STARS: For April, the 4 Star is pulling focus on the wife and eldest daughter. There is concern for mental health issues like depression, anxiety, and feeling overwhelmed. This scenario of double 4 with the Metal 6 in the South feels a bit intense. Caution around relationships and mental health this month.

Cures:

  • Display 6 Gold ingots in a round yellow plate.
  • Blue bed linens, pillows, rugs, table linens, towels, and/or art.
  • To motivate changes in your career or to create opportunities for travel, display a Red Horse facing the door.
  • For April – Add rose quartz heart crystal with a nice plant to assuage relationship stress
  • If a main entrance, hang a string of 6 Chinese Coins from the door.

Colors: To mitigate and bring in a harmonious flow of chi use the palette of BLUE to mitigate conflict between Metal 6 and Wood 4 doubled.

AVOID: Brown, tan, cream, yellow, peach, terracotta. Black, gray, white, Metal, Water, Fire, fiery colors of red, violet, fuchsia, and orange, Wood, and shades of green.

8 Earth with 6 Metal with visiting 6  – South West Earth

ANNUAL STARS: This is another pairing of an Earth Star being in an Earth sector. This can bring great wealth and good fortune. Too much Earth can cause health issues related to stomach and digestion, immune system, and those areas need to be watched just like in NE and Center. Even with these Stars not being as vibrant in P9, there is great potential for wealth and good fortune.   

MONTHLY STARS: The 6 Metal involves father and son with too much Yang influence there could be relationship tension. Increased power and influence could sky rocket a career and lead to great success and fortune.

Cures:

  • Add Earth like citrine, amber, quartz crystals, or pottery.
  • Display a Gold Buddha for money luck with 8 yellow silk flowers in an Earthen vase in a prominent place
  • Create a Love Altar to usher in a new love, or support a current relationship by displaying a pair of Pink Heart Crystals, a Pair of Ducks, a favorite photo of you and your love and/or other meaningful memorabilia.
  • For April use the color Red and Rose to nourish the 8 Star like flowers or throw pillows. Symbols of wealth like a pile of coins or a piggy bank with a jade money plant.

Colors: Yellow, Tan, Brown, Rust, Peach, Cream, Fire, fiery colors of red, violet, fuchsia, and orange

AVOID: Black, gray, white, Metal, blue. Water, Wood, and shades of green.

4 Wood with 2 Earth with visiting 2 Earth – West Metal

ANNUAL STARS: This is in conflict and requires mitigating with Water colors, not actual Water. Be mindful of mental health, fighting among women, academic luck, popularity with a caution, digestive, spleen, and liver issues. It’s a mixed bag of possible outcomes so be mindful and cautious.

MONTHLY STARS: The month of April brings a second 2 Star and now there is a real caution to your health. The 4 Star represents the oldest daughter and the 2 Star represents the mother. In the cycle of relating, Wood covers Earth meaning daughter is likely to overpower mother and cause relationship conflict.

CURES:

  • 4 stalks of Lucky Bamboo in a Blue Vase in a prominent location.  
  • Display a Red Happy Hotei for harmony in relationships
  • Use a Brass Pagoda for students or anyone who works in education if this is your office or study.
  • FOR April, double 2 could lead to female reproductive issues, digestive issues, grief/depression/anxiety/despair.

Color: Metal, white, black, and gray for April to drain the 2 Stars

AVOID: Fire, fiery colors of red, violet, fuchsia, and orange, Wood, green. Earth, yellow, brown, tan, peach, rust, Blue tones,

3 Wood with 1 Water with Visiting 1 Water – North West Metal

ANNUAL STARS: This is a conflict of Wood and Metal. The 1 Star offers a mitigation of Water. 3 Star is already weak in P9 so this line up should ease the contentious energies here that brings gossip, legal issues, robbery or loss of wealth. This is the Sui Po breaker for 2025, the placement of the Pig, the enemy of the Snake. The Pig in the NW 3 is the one that breaks up the dangerous Punishment of the Tiger Snake and Monkey. NO CONSTRUCTION or loud noises, renovations, or deep digging inside and outside your property.

MONTHLY STARS: The 1 Water now doubled brings some good fortune to the NW since 1 is a timely Star bringing future wealth and creative motivation to build something. The issue here is that all this Water is nourishing the argumentative 3 Star leading to relationship conflict.

CURES:

  • If this is a bedroom, please have a Wu Lou Health Gourd and a Salt Water cure by the bed for protection of your health. If possible, sleep in another room with better chi.
  • Try to avoid this as a main entrance and if not, put up a convex Ba-Gua mirror and put Gold Fu Dogs on either side of the front steps.
  • Do not disturb with loud construction, noise, and commotion inside and outside the home.
  • No moving water here. 
  • Display a Red Happy Hotei for harmony in relationships.
  • Avoid sitting here for long period of time – do not face SE while in this room.
  • Cure for the Sui Po – 4 Celestial Animals Talisman
  • For April add pops of red in your home decor

Color: Drain the 3 Star with Fire in April with pops of red like pillows, and other decor.

AVOID: Blue, white, black, Metal, violet, fuchsia, and orange, Wood, green. Earth, yellow, brown, tan, peach, or rust.

7 Metal with 5 Earth with Visiting 5 Star – North Water

ANNUAL STARS: The 7 Star is compatible as Metal gives birth to Water but the 7 Star is a fighting star that brings lawsuits, arguments that can turn violent, theft, surgery, injury with sharp objects, and gossip or slander. Keep nothing sharp here like knives or guns. The element Water weakens this negative energy. The 5 Earth Star is greatly weakened in this position and the Metal of the visiting Star further drowns out its negative influences but that 5 Star is feeding the 7 so there is interaction and it is not favorable. Caution around lung and large intestine (Metal organs) illnesses.

MONTHLY STARS: The 5 Stars now doubles this agitated situation and creates a walking on eggshells calamity. Be really careful of drug abuse, alcoholism, accidents, and legal woes.

Cures:

  • Put on a table a round Metal bowl to absorb the toxic chi.
  • If this is a bedroom please have a Wu Lou Health Gourd and a Salt Water cure by the bed for protection of your health.
  • Try to avoid this as a main entrance but if you must, double check security and safety.
  • Do not disturb with loud construction, noise, and commotion inside and outside the home.
  • A lush house plant is also welcome but no running Water.

Colors: All shades of Blue and White with Metal

AVOID: Fire, fiery colors of red, violet, fuchsia, and orange, Wood, green. Earth, yellow, brown, tan, peach, or rust.

5 Earth with 3 Wood with Visiting 3 Star – North East Earth

ANNUAL STARS: The 5 Star is at home here and as this is the most negative of all the energies, this is NOT a place to use with any regularity like an office, bedroom, or entrance. Add Metal to reduce the misfortune that brings illness, accidents, and horrible events occurring.

MONTHLY STARS: The 3 Star with these Stars is very argumentative and with the 5 Star there it could lead to injury, mental or physical. There is real caution to your mental health, watching your temper, your level of stress, and avoiding any serious conversations in this sector of your home or office.

Cures:

  • If this is a bedroom please have a Wu Lou Health Gourd and a Salt Water cure by the bed for protection of your health.
  • Try to avoid this as a main entrance but if you must, double check security and safety.
  • Do not disturb with loud construction, noise, and commotion inside and outside the home.
  • If a main entrance use a pair of Gold Fu Dogs and a Ba-Gua Mirror to protect the home.
  • A round Metal Bowl or Dragon Headed Turtle are welcome cures to display. 
  • Another option is to hang a 6 Rod Metal Wind Chime outside.
  • For April display a Dragon Headed Turtle or Jade Pi Yao.

Colors: Black, Gray, White with Metal

AVOID: Fire, fiery colors of red, violet, fuchsia, and orange, Wood, green, Earth, yellow, brown, tan, peach, rust, and Blue.

9 Fire with Metal 7 with Visiting 7 Metal – East Wood

ANNUAL STARS: Here the 9 Star is nourished which adds to the great good fortune in this sector of the home. Middle aged women and middle daughters will have the best year. The San Sha or Three Killings reduces the benefits for this sector unfortunately. Don’t add Fire here as it can be too much, leading to heart issues, blood clots, and mental health or head problems. In this Star formation, the powerful Fire of the 9 Star smelts the Metal of the 7 Star so it is neutralized leading to good fortune.

MONTHLY STARS: The double 7 is not a welcome visitor as this feels like a battle raging. Younger daughters fighting. Anyone and everyone picking on each other, bullying, and being hurtful. This is Fire and Metal suggesting issues with heart health, broken heart, mental health, etc. Take caution!

Cures:

  • In a prominent place put 9 Purple silk flowers in a green vase with amethyst crystals.
  • A couple healthy plants – outside plants flowers that bloom purple like lavender, lilac, or indoor plants could be orchids.
  • To appease the Sans Sha affliction place a 3 Celestial Beasts Mirror or Plaque.
  • For April – add something BLUE to drain the double 7 influence.

Colors: Green, Purple, and Wood element are the focus for design. For April add BLUE

AVOID: Fire, fiery colors like red, purple, orange, fuchsia, also Earth like yellow, brown, tan, peach, Metal, white, gray, black, Water.
