What Sheng Qi means

Eight Mansions groups people by Kua number into the East and West groups. Each Kua has four good directions: Sheng Qi, Tian Yi, Yan Nian and Fu Wei. Sheng Qi is traditionally the direction of vitality and drive, a good choice for the main door or the direction you face while working.

Small habits that keep qi moving

Keep the entrance bright and clear, open windows every morning, let go of things you no longer use, and place healthy plants where you want more vitality. Daylight and fresh air come before any object.

Flying stars: where to focus this month

Xuan Kong flying stars change every year and every month. From 2024 to 2043 is Period 9, when the 9 Purple star is considered the prosperous star. Check the monthly grid to see which sector to activate and which to keep calm.
