Annual Wealth Planning: Feng Shui Layout Guide for Year-Round Prosperity
1. Why Annual Wealth Planning Matters
In Feng Shui, wealth fortune is dynamic and ever-changing. Each year, the Annual Flying Stars shift positions, causing your Wealth Position, Conflict Position, and Illness Position to move as well. By planning your annual wealth strategy in advance — activating luck and dissolving Sha Qi (harmful energy) before trouble arrives — you can ensure smooth and abundant financial fortune all year long.
Cultural Context: Annual Flying Stars (流年飞星, liú nián fēi xīng) is a core technique within the Xuan Kong Flying Stars school of Feng Shui. It tracks how different celestial energies rotate through the nine sectors of your home each year, bringing changing influences to specific directions.

How to Apply This: Your Year-Round Wealth Action Plan
- Start one month before Lichun (Start of Spring): Look up that year's Annual Flying Stars chart and identify the auspicious and inauspicious directions in your home
- Prepare your tools early: Purchase your Copper Gourd (Calabash), Six Emperor Coins, Wealth Bowl, and other items so you are ready to act immediately after Lichun
- Execute in the first week: Place Sha-dissolving items in the Five Yellow direction first (safety first), then activate your Annual Wealth Position
- Adjust seasonally: Refresh your layout each season to align with shifting energies — green plants in spring, red items in summer, metal ornaments in autumn, water features in winter
Quick Tips:
- Mark your calendar with the Lichun date — this is the Feng Shui "New Year" when annual energies shift
- Never renovate or drill into the Five Yellow direction of the year — it can trigger serious misfortune
- Keep your wallet clean, organized, and free of expired cards; a cluttered wallet creates Wealth Leakage (漏财)
- Fix dripping faucets immediately — leaks symbolize money flowing away from your household
