Feng Shui Five Yellow Sha: Powerful Remedies to Dissolve Harmful Energy
What Is Five Yellow Sha?
Five Yellow Sha is one of the most dangerous harmful energies in Feng Shui, originating from the Five Yellow Lian Zhen Star (五黄廉贞星) in the Xuan Kong Flying Stars (玄空飞星) system. The Five Yellow Star belongs to the Earth element and is considered a major inauspicious star. It governs serious illness, financial loss, disasters, lawsuits, and accidents — earning the saying: "Where the Five Yellow visits, disaster follows."
Characteristics of the Five Yellow Star
Basic Attributes
| Attribute | Details |

| Name | Five Yellow Lian Zhen Star |
| Element | Earth |
| Auspiciousness | Major Inauspicious |
| Governs | Serious illness, financial loss, disasters, lawsuits, accidents |
| Color | Yellow, brown |

The Dual Nature of Five Yellow
Interestingly, under specific conditions the Five Yellow Star can transform into an auspicious influence:
- During its Current Period (当运): During Period 5 (1944–1963), Five Yellow was the Prosperous Star and highly auspicious
- During Lost Period (失运): In all other periods, Five Yellow becomes a major inauspicious star
- Prosperous Mountain and Prosperous Direction (旺山旺向): In certain special configurations, Five Yellow can play a positive role
However, we are currently in Period 9 (2024–2043), and Five Yellow is a Lost Period Star — making it a major source of harmful energy.
Classifications of Five Yellow Sha
1. Annual Five Yellow
The direction where Five Yellow flies each year is called the "Annual Five Yellow."
2. Monthly Five Yellow
Each month, Five Yellow occupies a different direction — known as the "Monthly Five Yellow."
3. Daily and Hourly Five Yellow
Even more granularly, Five Yellow occupies a different position each day and each hour.

2025 Five Yellow Direction — Detailed Analysis
The year 2025 (Yi Si year):
- Five Yellow Direction: Northeast
- Critical Remedy: Absolutely no ground-breaking or renovation in the Northeast
- Important Note: In 2025, the Northeast also hosts the Eight White Wealth Star — creating a mixed auspicious and inauspicious influence that requires special attention
Cultural Context: In Xuan Kong Flying Stars, each year the Five Yellow Star "flies" to a different sector of your home based on the annual energy chart. This is why Feng Shui remedies must be updated yearly — what was safe last year may be dangerous this year.

Remedies for Five Yellow Sha
The Most Effective Method: Metal Dissolution
Five Yellow belongs to Earth. According to the principle of Mutual Generation and Restriction (相生相克), Metal drains Earth energy, making metal objects the most powerful remedy.
| Remedy Object | How to Apply | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Copper Wind Chime | Hang a copper wind chime | Metallic sound dissolves Sha Qi |
| Copper Gourd (葫芦) | Place a copper gourd | Gourd absorbs harmful energy |
| Five Emperor Coins | Hang or place them | Imperial energy suppresses Sha |
| Copper Qilin (麒麟) | Place a pair | Auspicious beast neutralizes Sha |
| Copper Bell | Hang a copper bell | Bell sound dispels negativity |
| Six Emperor Coins | String six copper coins together | Number six belongs to Metal |
The Six Metal Objects Remedy
Traditionally, placing six metal objects in the Five Yellow direction can dissolve the harmful energy:
- The number six belongs to Metal, and Metal drains Earth
- You can use: six copper coins, six small bells, or six metal ornaments
Other Remedy Methods
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Annen Water (安忍水) | Salt water placed in a container for dissolving Sha |
| White Objects | White belongs to Metal and drains Five Yellow Earth energy |
| Gray Objects | Gray also belongs to Metal and can be used |
| Sound Remedy | Regularly play metallic-sounding music in the Five Yellow direction |
Color Remedies
| Use These Colors | Avoid These Colors |
|---|---|
| White, silver (Metal drains Earth) | Red, purple (Fire generates Earth) |
| Gold, copper | Yellow, brown (Earth reinforces Earth) |
| Gray | Green (Wood restricts Earth, but creates conflict) |
The Relationship Between Five Yellow Sha and Two Black Sha
The Two Black Giant Door Star (二黑巨门星) is also a major inauspicious star (the Illness Star), often paired with Five Yellow as the "Two-Five Combination":
The Danger of the Two-Five Combination
When Five Yellow and Two Black appear simultaneously in the same direction, it is called the "Two-Five Combination" (二五交加) or "Two-Five Same Palace" (二五同宫) — one of the most dangerous configurations in Feng Shui:
- Two Black governs illness
- Five Yellow governs disasters
- Together in one palace, illness and disaster compound each other
Dissolving the Two-Five Combination
Remedying the Two-Five Combination requires addressing both Two Black and Five Yellow at once:
- Place metal objects (to dissolve Five Yellow)
- Place a copper gourd (to dissolve the Two Black illness energy)
- Keep that direction extremely quiet
- If possible, avoid using that direction altogether
Five Yellow Sha's Relationship with Tai Sui and Three Sha
Combined Palace = Doubled Danger
If a direction simultaneously hosts Five Yellow, Tai Sui, or Three Sha, the harmful energy intensifies dramatically:
| Combination | Name | Danger Level |
|---|---|---|
| Five Yellow + Tai Sui | Five Yellow Over Tai Sui | ★★★★★ |
| Five Yellow + Three Sha | Five Yellow Over Three Sha | ★★★★★ |
| Five Yellow + Two Black | Two-Five Combination | ★★★★★ |
2025 Directional Analysis
Directions requiring extra caution in 2025:
| Direction | Inauspicious Star | Overall Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Center | Five Yellow | Major Inauspicious |
| Northeast | Five Yellow + Eight White | Mixed Auspicious and Inauspicious |
| Southeast | Tai Sui | Inauspicious |
| Northwest | Year Breaker | Inauspicious |
| Due East | Three Sha | Major Inauspicious |
