JULY FLYING STARS FENG SHUI July 7 – August 7, 2025:

2 Earth with 9 Fire and Visiting 6 Metal – 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 July, the 6 Metal Star combines with the Annual 2 to promote business, generate wealth, and assist with real estate/ property matters. This is also a Star combination for a hermit, monk, or someone isolating themselves.

CURES:

  • Display a singing/ round metal bowl or Dragon Headed Turtle to overcome obstacles with the 2 Star.
  • 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 July continue with the annual palette and cures.

Colors: black, gray, silver, black, and brown. Metal furnishings, or painted white, black, or gray.

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

1 Water with 8 Earth and Visiting 5 Earth– 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 July the saying one bad apple spoils the peck, well that’s this direction for July. The 5 Star wreaks havoc here bringing all kinds of misfortune, accidents, poison, but the silver lining is that traveling from home is favorable and also the 5 and 8 combination can bring support for real estate transactions.

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 July – Metal is needed to weaken the 5 Star with bells, dragon headed turtle, black obsidian crystal or smoky quartz to absorb negativity.

Colors: FOR July, white, gray, black, and blue.

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

6 Metal with 4 Wood with Visiting 1 Water 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 July this is one of the best directions. There is good fortune here, romance, fame, promotion, success. Be mindful of mental health.

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 July place a Horse here for career success and promotion, and add other money cures like pile of coins, piggy bank, or money frog.

Colors: We have a rainbow of color here this month – literally bring in rainbows in your design whether that’s a flag flying outside your door, a throw blanket, pillows, etc. Red, Blue, Orange, Red, Yellow, and Green maybe even a pop of hot pink!

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 3 Wood  – 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 3 Wood brings fighting between younger and older boys or men. There is wealth and success but be careful with the 3 Star adding arguments and people turning against you.

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. BE CAREFUL THAT YOU ARE ATTRACTING THE BEST LOVER OR BRINGING THE BEST ENERGY TO YOUR ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP.
  • For July, bring in RED to drain the 3 Star which is weakened in this Earthly direction and Red with Fire elements like candles and incense help to foster the good fortune with the other Stars. NOT a good month to display a Love Altar so remove that for now.

Colors: For July, fire it up! Bring in candles, fire pit, red pillows, fiery colors of red, violet, fuchsia, and orange.

AVOID: Yellow, Tan, Brown, Rust, Peach, Cream, Black, gray, white, Metal, Blue. Water, Wood, and shades of green.

4 Wood with 2 Earth with visiting 8 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 July brings the 8 Star which is controlled by the 4 Star. There is a caution with the eldest daughter or mother fighting with younger children when activities are held in this room. Be mindful if this is a classroom, family room, or children’s playroom. Otherwise the the 4 Wood and 8 Earth can generate a promotion, excelling in studies, and advancing in scholarly pursuits.

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 July, add some rose quartz crystals. No BLUE this month

Color: Metal, white, black, and gray

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

3 Wood with 1 Water with Visiting 7 Metal– 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 7 Metal is the Broken Soldier Star that brings fighting, conflict, arguments that turn violent, divorce, lawsuits, and overall disharmony. Just a terrible room to use for any meetings or for a marital bedroom.

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 July bring BLUE to drain the 7 Star which has the greatest influence in this Star combination.

Color: Blue, White, Black, and Gray with Metal

AVOID: Wood, green. Earth, yellow, brown, tan, peach, or rust, Water, and shades of blue.

7 Metal with 5 Earth with Visiting 2 Earth 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 2 Earth Star is reverted back to its Period 8 negativity with the 7 and 5 present. This is a like redeeming yourself and making improvements only to get into a bad crowd and slide back into bad behaviors. Therefore this is the WORST area for July and comes a major warning to avoid this as best your can. Loss of wealth, fighting, accidents, illness, poisoning, and even death. DANGER ZONE – Keep Calm.

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.
  • Black obsidian or blue stones.
  • AVOID THIS AREA OF YOUR HOME FOR JULY

Colors: All shades of Blue, 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 9 Fire 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 9 Fire is dangerous because Fire feeds the 5 Earth Star and activates the 3 Wood Star. Terrible location for a bedroom or main entrance for 2025. Use great caution here. Watch for fire related disasters, heart health, and mental health. Be mindful of health and safety.

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 July display a protection symbol like a chiming clock or bells or a Metal Happy Hotei

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 4 Wood – 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 4 Star is a far better energy to combine with the annual 9 Star bringing fame, glamour, promotion, and success. Great for creative pursuits and happy gatherings. But look out for women and girls fighting.

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 July work with elements here and bring in fresh flowers, rose quartz, and amethyst.

Colors: Green, Purple, floral designs, and Wood element are the focus for design.

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

Best Directions for July – Center, South, South West, East, and with caution, the West

Worst Directions for June – North East, North, North West, and South East
