OCTOBER FLYING STARS FENG SHUI October 8 – November 8, 2025:

2 Earth with 9 Fire and Visiting 3 Wood – 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 October, the 3 Wood, much like the 4 Wood Star last month, is heavy and weakened by the Earthy Center of our homes. The presence of the 2 Earth here with the 3 brings volatile relationships and a loss of harmony. Astrologically, October is all about harmony and so this sets a bad precedent for the energies we are dancing with. The 9 Star is aggravating our nervous system, and fueling mental health and heart issues.

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.
• Taking any purple out of this area for August – do not want to embolden the 9 Star
• For October use cures of Metal, colors of white, black, and gray. Use a Wu Lou Health Gourd to protect all levels of health.

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

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

1 Water with 8 Earth and Visiting 2 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: This area really harms middle aged men and pits you against an older woman. If you live in a multi-generational home, I could see an elder female quarreling with the son or son-in law. The 1 and 8 are great for success in business but the 2 Star could be self-sabotage or some kind of jeopardizing of any good fortune that could emanate from this sector of the home, especially if this is your office.

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 October– Use a rose quartz crystal with a Happy Hotei to bring loving kindness to your relationships.

Colors: For October, weaken the 2 Earth Star with cooler tones to harmonize with gray, white and Metal and add a couple lush healthy house plants.

AVOID: Water features, a lot of Blue, Green, Earth, yellow, brown, tan, peach, or rust, white, gray, black,

6 Metal with 4 Wood with Visiting 7 Metal 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: Massive fighting happening here that feels injurious, dangerous, explosive, volatile, and a major caution to avoid this for any meetings, office work, or a room used regularly. If possible, close the curtains and doors, keep the chi dormant.

Cures:

• Display 6 Gold ingots in a round yellow plate.
• For August Yellow 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.
• In October, you will want a brass dragon headed turtle for protection.

Colors: Blue, black, and smoky quartz crystal to absorb negative chi.

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

8 Earth with 6 Metal with visiting 9 Fire  – 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: This is a very positive location again this month and especially for people working in real estate. Success, fame, recognition, and promotion are all possible. Use this area of your home and office regularly, keep it well lit and active.

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.
• October enjoy Earthy tones of brown, tan, rust, along with burgundy, rose, and red. Add candles and incense, or outside, a fire pit.

Colors: Tan, Yellow, Brown, Rust, Peach, Fiery red, orange, watermelon, violet,

AVOID: Cream, white, gray, tan, silver, gold, and brass, Blue. Water, Wood, and shades of green.

4 Wood with 2 Earth with visiting 5 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 5 Stars threatens our children in the West, it also snuffs out our creative pulse, it churns up disease, misfortune, accidents, and loss. It one of the worst areas of our homes and offices for October – AVOID

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 October use a Wu Lou Health Gourd to protect health and Metal items like a round Metal bowl or chiming clock to weaken the chi.

Color: Metal, white, black, and gray with a splash of blue.

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 4 Wood – 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: I do not like to see the 3 and 4 Wood Stars together, especially now that they are both untimely Stars. This speaks of disharmony, gossip, and mean girl vibes. The 4 and 1 could be a positive for intelligence but given all the components at play, I would keep this area calm and quiet.

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 October, I would NOT bring fire into this sector and embolden the Wood Stars in a Metal direction, but ratehr mitigate the conflict with the color Blue, a Blue elephant lying on its side will open up communication.

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

AVOID: Wood, green. Earth, yellow, brown, tan, peach, or rust, Fiery red, violet, orange, hot pink, and moving Water.

7 Metal with 5 Earth with Visiting 8 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: Far better than this beleaguered sector has been this year, with the 8 Star bringing relationship luck but it is not stable or reliable. There is potential for wealth but that too could be with wins and losses. There is a lot of volatility to any goodness so don’t rely on it. If good things happen don’t cling to the delusional notion that it is a sure thing. Double check all the details and don’t blindly trust even someone you know well.

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 October I would not weaken the one good Star here by adding BLUE, to add Earth will feed the nasty 5 Star so stick with supporting the 8 Star with a pair of lovebirds and 2 rose quartz hearts.

Colors: Black, gray, and White with Metal

AVOID: Fire, fiery colors of red, violet, fuchsia, and orange, blue, Wood, green. Earth, yellow, brown, tan, peach, or rust. No running Water.

5 Earth with 3 Wood with Visiting 6 Metal 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 6 Star waves a caution flag to losing money in investments, to small injuries like poisoning, or small cuts, or short term illness.

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.
• AVOID this room for anything important like studies, sleep, main entrance, or work.

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 1 Water – 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 East is another great location this month with the 1 Star arriving to bring some harmonizing with the Wood of the East and the Fire of the 9 Star. Be mindful of your passions, of tempers or mental health. Overall there is promise for relationships, happy gatherings, and good fortune. Enjoy gathering with family in this room of your home or property.

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 October, again, I suggest rose quartz hearts for romance, and for money luck, bring in a piggy bank or pile of Chinese Coins in a Jade Bowl.

Colors: All shades of Green

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