Annual disturbance directions for 2026

• Tai Sui (Grand Duke) — 午 / S2: 172.5°–187.5°
• Sui Po (Year Breaker) — 子 / N2: 352.5°–7.5°
• San Sha (Three Killings) — 壬–子–癸 / N1–N3: 337.5°–22.5°

These mark cautions for optional drilling, demolition, digging, renovation, and sustained noise. Necessary safety work takes priority.

What matters

December rewards selective closure, not a final push everywhere. The Southeast supports visible delivery, the Northeast favors structured preparation, and the Center can carry concise communication. The Southwest is useful for exacting review, while the South, East, West, North, and Northwest each call for a different form of restraint.

The tension is that year-end pressure encourages speed and volume, while the chart rewards finishing only what is ready. Close completed work, record what the year produced, give next year's thinking a structure, and reduce the demands placed on the more difficult sectors. Deliver in the Southeast, plan and study in the Northeast, communicate selectively through the Center, and use the Southwest only for careful review.

• Wealth and business: Southeast for evidence-backed year-end delivery.
• Career and noble help: Southeast for formal sign-off and accountable leadership; Northeast for applications and next-cycle preparation.
• Relationships and communication: Center for one clear, checked message; keep sensitive personal talks out of the Southwest and West.
• Study and creativity: Northeast for reviewing the year's learning, writing, and outlining 2027.
• Health and wellbeing: South and Northwest need the lightest workloads and the most rest; the West adds fatigue to friction.
• Home and property: Avoid optional construction or noisy disturbance in the South, East, and North. Tai Sui (太岁, the Grand Duke) sits in the South, while Sui Po (岁破, the Year Breaker) and San Sha (三煞, the Three Killings) sit in the North. Necessary safety work still takes priority.

Southeast — Favorable · Wealth & Business

Period 8 · Annual 9 · Monthly 6

• Best for: Final presentations, documented handovers, and year-end delivery with a named owner.
• Main risks: Deadline heat overloading the responsible people, and claims outgrowing the evidence.

Use the Southeast (巽) to present, publish, or formally hand over work that is ready to close. Annual 9 Purple (九紫) gives the sector visibility and the Wood palace generates its Fire, so the visibility it creates has real support here; Monthly 6 White (六白) adds standards and authority, and the established 8–9 Same-Palace Pairing (八九同宫) keeps the emphasis on tangible progress rather than speculative expansion, since 8 is retreating in Period 9.

But Annual 9's Fire controls Monthly 6's Metal, so deadline heat can overload the people responsible for maintaining those standards. Keep the evidence attached and the workload realistic. Given the choice between a bigger promise and a rested owner, pick the owner. If the household's eldest daughter regularly works or sleeps here, she can use it to present finished work or hold the handover meeting.

South — Caution · Health & Property

Period 4 · Annual 5 · Monthly 2

• Best for: Calm routines, comfort, and only necessary maintenance.
• Main risks: Renovation, noise, heat, and strain on anyone already run down.

The South (离) is the month's firmest caution. Annual 5 Yellow (五黄) meets Monthly 2 Black (二黑) in the traditional 2–5 Convergence (二五交加), the strongest health-and-disruption signal in the Flying Star tradition, and the Fire palace generates both Earth stars, feeding the caution instead of moderating it. The sector also holds Tai Sui for 2026, which extends the same restraint to optional drilling, demolition, and noise.

The response is simple: keep the room quiet. Skip optional construction and noisy rearrangement, go easy on the candles, fairy lights, and bright lamps this month, since extra Fire feeds the Earth pair, and let anyone already run down treat the season's demands as optional. Read the symbolism as a prompt for rest and ordinary care; real health concerns belong with qualified professionals, not with timing. If the household's middle daughter regularly works or sleeps here, she should keep her workload light and move demanding sessions elsewhere.

Southwest — Mixed · Business & Review

Period 6 · Annual 7 · Monthly 4

• Best for: Contract checks, documentation cleanup, and rehearsing a difficult question.
• Main risks: Brittle personal conversations and cutting language.

The Southwest (坤) is the month's editing desk. Monthly 4 Green (四绿) brings planning and writing into a sector already holding Annual 7 Red's (七赤) sharp review, and the Earth palace feeds that Metal, sharpening the critical edge. Period 6's Metal doubles it.

The result: incisive editing, brittle feelings. Annual 7's Metal controls Monthly 4's Wood, which tightens a contract beautifully and roughens a tender conversation. Verify, tidy, and rehearse here; hold the final personal discussion somewhere softer, and do not let exacting standards curdle into contempt.

East — Caution · Wealth & Property

Period 7 · Annual 8 · Monthly 5

• Best for: Closing records, reviewing the year's payments, and contingency planning.
• Main risks: Optional construction, rushed year-end purchases, and security slips.

The East (震) is a records room this month, not a project site. Annual 8 White (八白) and Monthly 5 Yellow share one element, so the Earth influence doubles, and Monthly 5's disruption sets the tone. The Wood palace controls both, which tempers the pair without making it favorable, and Period 7 in the background keeps financial leakage and security in view.

Use the East for records, inventory, permissions, subscriptions, and a look at the year's payments rather than expansion. Avoid optional drilling or demolition, and keep new heat and bright light out of the sector; Fire would only feed the Earth pair and strengthen Monthly 5. Let necessity, not year-end pressure, justify any purchase.

Center — Mixed · Relationships & Communication

Period 9 · Annual 1 · Monthly 7

• Best for: One clear, checked announcement or a structured household plan.
• Main risks: Sharp replies, exposed details, and arguing in public.

The Center (中宫) carries one message this month, and only if it is checked before it goes out. Monthly 7 Red's Metal generates the Water of Annual 1 White (一白), giving persuasion and review a route into communication.

That route is not equally easy to control: the Earth palace supports 7 but constrains 1, and while the Period 9–Annual 1 Purple–White Pairing (紫白) adds visibility alongside fluctuation, the Period 9–Monthly 7 Path-Piercing Pairing (七九穿途) lets that visibility curdle into sharp replies, exposed details, and a public argument. Treat this as support for precision, not volume. Confirm the recipients and facts, then decline the public argument.

West — Caution · Relationships & Conflict

Period 2 · Annual 3 · Monthly 9

• Best for: A short, contained fact check, or reviewing written facts before a conversation.
• Main risks: Complaints finding an audience, reopened grievances, and fatigue.

The West (兑) can host a short, contained fact check, but nothing louder. Annual 3 Jade (三碧) generates Monthly 9 Purple, so a grievance can attract attention here without moving any closer to resolution: useful when facts need verifying, costly when a feeling needs acknowledging.

The 2–3 Bullfight Sha (斗牛煞) already connects fatigue with friction. The Metal palace restrains 3, while 9 spends force controlling the palace, so the flare fades without producing anything useful. Softer lighting and less heat suit the room, since the 9's Fire is what keeps the argument warm; check the facts, pause before answering complaints, and hold the real conversation somewhere else.

Northeast — Favorable · Study & Planning

Period 3 · Annual 4 · Monthly 1

• Best for: Reviewing the year's learning, preparing applications, and outlining 2027.
• Main risks: Scattered effort, gossip, and unplanned late nights.

Give the study or the application one defined question and one deadline, and the Northeast (艮) will carry it. Monthly 1 White generates Annual 4 Green in the favorable 1–4 Same-Palace Pairing (一四同宫), supporting learning, writing, and informed connections.

The sector is favorable, but not effortless. The Earth palace constrains 1, while Annual 4 expends force controlling the palace, so a defined question and a clear structure matter. Period 3 adds initiative in the background, but it can become scattered effort or gossip when the task has no boundary.

Review what this year taught you, prepare the application, or outline the next project. Ask someone informed for feedback, then stop before useful momentum turns into an unplanned late night.

North — Caution · Career & Conflict

Period 5 · Annual 6 · Monthly 3

• Best for: Quiet, low-stakes use and carefully handled necessary repairs.
• Main risks: Power struggles, impulsive decisions, and physical disturbance.

The North (坎) is a standoff this month. Metal controls Wood: Annual 6 White's authority presses down on Monthly 3 Jade's push, while the Water palace feeds 3's drive and drains 6. Pressure from above, initiative from below, and an unsettled Period 5 base underneath: a management argument looking for a room.

Do not give it one. In 2026 the North also carries Sui Po and San Sha, the year's firmest restraint on optional drilling, demolition, and excavation, so keep noise and building changes out unless they are necessary, and move emotionally charged management decisions elsewhere. If a middle son regularly works or sleeps here, he should keep his management conversations out of this room. Necessary safety work still comes first; do it carefully and promptly.

Northwest — Caution · Health & Wellbeing

Period 1 · Annual 2 · Monthly 8

• Best for: Routine administration, gentle review, and familiar obligations.
• Main risks: Overwork, busyness mistaken for capacity, and speculative money moves.

The Northwest (乾) ends the year at low volume. Annual 2 Black and Monthly 8 White share one element, so the Earth influence doubles: 8 still supports records and administration, though it is retreating in Period 9, while 2 keeps rest and ordinary wellbeing in frame. Both stars drain into the Metal palace, so they arrive tired rather than blocked.

Suit the room to gentle review and routine work. Busyness is not capacity, and a speculative year-end financial move belongs nowhere near this sector. If the household's father or principal authority figure regularly works or sleeps here, he should keep routine administration here and leave speculative moves alone. Finished, recorded, rested — that is the whole assignment here.
