Annual Flying Stars (年飞星) are the energetic influences that shift each year based on the Chinese zodiac year and the periodic cycle. They affect different palace positions differently as they move through the chart annually.
Annual stars are calculated based on the year's heavenly stem and earthly branch combination and their relationship to the cardinal directions. Each year, the star configuration shifts, modifying the energy of each direction.
When an annual star enters a palace, it modifies that space's energy for the year. A favorable star may bring opportunities; a challenging star may require attention or remedy. The effect depends on the star type and the palace's base configuration.
Each annual star affects specific life areas depending on which palace it enters. A star entering the Career Palace affects professional matters; one entering the Wealth Palace affects financial matters. Tracking these shifts provides annual guidance.
Annual flying star information provides a layer of annual timing guidance. It helps identify which areas of life may receive more attention or require more care during a specific year, complementing other feng shui analysis layers.
