Aligning Your Home and Business with 2025’s Qi
Every year in early February, the qi (energy) of our homes and places of business shift, bringing beneficial energy in certain areas and less favorable energy in others. If we pay attention to what is needed to harmonize specific locations in our home or place of work, we can ensure that we will reap the benefits of the auspicious qi and lessen the potential of challenges and misfortune.
Note: The red squares designate the location of the Tai Sui, 3 Killings, Sui Po, and Misfortune Star this year. These are areas that must be kept quiet and undisturbed to prevent mishaps and challenges. Read more about them in the Untimely Qi section.
More than likely, you’ve already been experiencing the ups and downs of qi (energy) changing, heralded by the significant shift into Period 9 last year. The energy of this change will continue until 2048 impacting world views, the rise and fall of specific industries, and more. The next two decades will be a time of significant change worldwide and a potent catalyst for exciting transformation, personally and professionally, with tidings of good fortune.
2025 ushers in more new qi through the form of the Annual Stars, which shift to different locations. I’ve broken them down into the categories of Beneficial Qi (the areas we can use to enhance our luck and good fortune) and Untimely Qi (the areas we need to diminish or avoid to prevent challenges from arising).
Let’s dive in.
Beneficial Qi
This year there are several stars that bring supportive qi we can tap into:
Victory Star
Located in the Southeast this year, the Victory Star supports career success and relationships. This is a good area to make phone calls or conduct affairs related to business. If you have a main door in the East this year you can expect success with incoming wealth.
To activate the Victory Star and help the qi flow more harmoniously in this area this year, add Metal element (white, cream, grey and metallic colors, and circular/oval shapes) if there isn’t some in the area already.
Academic & Romance Star
The Academic and Romance Star can bring luck to affairs of the heart and relationships. It can also enhance academic efforts, making it a great area to set up a desk or study in. Located in the West this year, a main door in this area will bring career progression and academic development.
To support the Academic and Romance star, add some fire element in the form of beautiful flowers, or small touches of red, coral, orange, or pink. If your focus is on studying this year, add a bookshelf, books, or a desk in this area. If your focus is on romance, add something that symbolizes love to you.
Heavenly Star
The benevolent Heavenly Star flies to the South this year, bringing blessings and potential monetary gain and windfalls. You can activate this money luck by placing an altar, treasure chest, crystals, or other symbols of abundance in the South section of your home or business.
Prosperity Star
Located in the Southwest this year, this star brings beneficial qi for wealth, prosperity, fame, and success. You can expect career advancements, breakthroughs in business, and many other good things to come your way if this sector is properly supported. If you have a main door here it will improve your wealth luck and career advancement.
To support the qi in this area this year, limit Metal element (white, cream, grey and metallic colors and/or round or oval objects) and add Fire element (red, orange, purple, pink, and triangular shapes).
Multiplicative Star
This is a lovely star that is known for its ability to multiply positive events in your life. Located in the East this year, it is a great place to conduct joyful occasions such as parties and celebrations.
Be sure that this area has good light, is clean and tidy, and that the air can flow freely. You can also add an altar or something symbolizing abundance here to activate the money luck it also offers. If you have a main door here, it will benefit your wealth luck.
Add a small amount of Wood element (green or blue, and rectangular shapes) and Water element (dark blue or black, and wavy shapes) to further support this star.
Untimely Qi
Now for the less beneficial qi. Each year there are areas that are essential to address because to ignore them is to experience challenges such as illness, loss of wealth, and problems in relationships.
BUT! Before you dive into this list, please keep in mind that it is very important to not get too worked up about the less favorable directions. Do what you can and don’t worry about the rest. If you can only manage one aspect of what I recommend, then you are one step ahead.
To prioritize, the most important locations to consider are the Tai Sui (SE), 3 Killings (East), Sui Po (NW), and Misfortune Star (NE). The best thing to do in these areas is just keep them as undisturbed and quiet as possible.
If your front door or a main door is located in any of these locations avoid using it if at all possible. If you must, then oil the hinges and shut the door gently each time you use it.
Ok, on to the details!
Misfortune Star (Wu Wang)
An important location to keep undisturbed this year, the Misfortune Star is in the Northeast. This is an area that should be kept quiet and undisturbed as much as possible as not doing so can invite financial chaos, illness, and difficulties.
Make sure that this area is free from clutter and incorporate golden yellow, which is pleasing to the Wu Wang (Emperor).
Three Killings (San Sha)
Located in in the East this year, if this area is disturbed it can impact finances, health, concentration, and communication, not to mention putting obstacles in your path! It is important to avoid digging (small holes for plants are ok though) or making loud noises in this area. Postpone any major changes or renovations.
Tai Sui (aka Grand Duke)
The Grand Duke is in the Southeast this year. Ensure that this location stays quiet and undisturbed and avoid doing any kind of renovation or repairs that cause a lot of noise in this area unless you are renovating an entire building. It’s also a good idea to not face Southeast for long periods of time either sitting or sleeping. As the Grand Duke represents authority, it is ideal to arrange your furniture so that his energy is behind you.
Sui Po
Located in the Northwest this year so it’s important to avoid loud noises and renovations in this location too this year.
Sickness Star
Located in the Center, this star can cause health issues, particularly if underlying issues are already present. Because of its location, there is nothing to add to minimize its effect. Rather, this is an excellent year to focus on your health.
Quarrelsome Star
Located in the Northwest this year, the Quarrelsome Star can lead to conflict, gossip, arguments, and legal troubles. It can also cause emotional turmoil and unhappiness. This is definitely not an area to have an intense conversation or disagreement as it will potentially escalate.
To help balance the qi of this sector, add Fire element (red, orange, purple, pink, and triangular shapes). Limit Water element (dark blue or black, and wavy shapes) and omit real water such as fountains or other water features.
Betrayal/Robbery Star
The Betrayal/Robbery Star flies to the North this year and it can bring unexpected expenses and loss of wealth through various means such as burglary, poor money management and/or impulse spending. Or it can mean a loss of something you thought you’d already gained. Fortunately, due to its location this star is already paired with Water element which does temper the effect of this star. You can also add a little Fire element (red, orange, purple, pink, and triangular shapes).
There you have it!
