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

February is the month the 2026 annual map actually begins: the annual stars turn at Li Chun, replacing the 2025 layer that carried January. The chart rewards matching the new map with disciplined action rather than treating the calendar page as a dramatic reset. The Center is the month's planning desk and the natural place for a launch plan or team alignment; the East favors management and orderly execution, and the North can hold quiet study, applications, or policy work when kept calm. The South, Southwest, and Northwest deserve more restraint, particularly around arguments, noise, overwork, and optional physical disturbance.

Put coordination in the Center, operational work in the East, and quiet technical preparation in the North. In sectors associated with rest and wellbeing, reduce unnecessary activity and resolve practical issues without assuming that a star combination guarantees an event.

• Wealth and business: East for management, asset records, and technical review; Southeast for a presentation over solid underlying work.
• Career and noble help: Center for planning a visible initiative and aligning a team; North for quiet applications and rules.
• Relationships and communication: Center for alignment with substance behind the message; West only for a brief, documented clarification.
• Study and creativity: North for study, applications, and technical competence against a standard.
• Health and wellbeing: Northwest needs the lightest workload and the least heat; South and Southwest keep meetings short and pressure low.
• Home and property: Avoid optional drilling, demolition, and noise in the South 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 — Mixed · Wealth & Business

Period 8 · Annual 9 · Monthly 7

• Best for: A product presentation, commercial review, or public update over solid underlying work.
• Main risks: Careless wording becoming the part people remember, and claims outgrowing the evidence.

The Southeast (巽) can carry a presentation, commercial review, or public update this month, provided the underlying work is solid. Annual 9 Purple (九紫右弼) is the ruling timely star, and the Wood palace generates its Fire, so visible work has genuine support here; the 8–9 Same-Palace Pairing (八九同宫), formed by Period 8 and Annual 9, keeps the emphasis on tangible results rather than an unfinished idea.

Monthly 7 Red (七赤) joins Annual 9 in the 7–9 Path-Piercing Pairing (七九穿途), and Annual 9's Fire controls 7's Metal: visibility and persuasion can turn into arguments, exposure, or financial loss. Check claims, pricing, and permissions before publishing. Visibility is available, but careless wording can become the part people remember.

South — Caution · Health & Property

Period 4 · Annual 5 · Monthly 3

• Best for: Short task lists and necessary maintenance kept low-key.
• Main risks: Disruption and argument when everyone moves at once, plus optional rearrangement.

The South (离) is a keep-quiet sector this month. Annual 5 Yellow (五黄廉贞) is the year's strongest disruption caution, and the Fire palace generates its Earth, feeding it rather than moderating it; Monthly 3 Jade (三碧) adds argument and competition, while Period 4 Green (四绿) has a thoughtful side that gets overtaken when everyone tries to move at once. The Wood stars control 5 to some degree, but the palace drains their Wood, so restraint stays the dominant theme.

Keep the sector orderly, use another room for sensitive discussions when possible, and postpone optional rearrangement. If it must serve as a workspace, rely on short task lists. A middle daughter who studies or sleeps in the South can keep her sessions on that short-list plan and hold sensitive conversations elsewhere. The sector also holds Tai Sui for 2026, which extends the same restraint to optional drilling, demolition, and noise.

Southwest — Caution · Business & Security

Period 6 · Annual 7 · Monthly 5

• Best for: Necessary, bounded administration with verified transfers and access.
• Main risks: Forceful negotiation, noisy renovation, and authority turning into pressure.

The Southwest (坤) concentrates authority and sharp commerce this month. Period 6 White (六白) and Annual 7 Red share Metal and are generated by the Earth palace, so standards and negotiation sharpen together; Monthly 5 Yellow sits in the same element as the palace, reinforcing the year's strongest caution star and generating both Metals.

Keep the Southwest to necessary, bounded administration: verify transfers, access, and contractual details, and move high-stakes conversations elsewhere before authority turns into pressure. Do not force a deal here, and skip noisy renovation.

East — Favorable · Wealth & Property

Period 7 · Annual 8 · Monthly 6

• Best for: Management, asset records, technical review, and closing practical gaps.
• Main risks: Blunt instructions, weak security, and decisions without a named owner.

The East (震) carries the useful 6–8 Same-Palace Pairing (六八同宫) this month: Annual 8 White (八白) provides the Earth that generates Monthly 6 White's Metal, supporting sound management of assets and systems. Put management, asset records, technical review, and decisions that need both responsibility and follow-through here.

The support is bounded. Annual 8 is retreating in Period 9, and the Wood palace controls its Earth, so the sector is better for finishing existing work than for new expansion. Period 7 Red in the background still warns against blunt instructions and weak security. Put agreements in writing and name an owner before money or access changes hands. For an eldest son who regularly works from the East, this is the room for his management reviews and records; new ventures should start elsewhere, since the sector finishes rather than expands.

Center — Mixed · Career & Communication

Period 9 · Annual 1 · Monthly 8

• Best for: Planning a visible, durable initiative and aligning a small team.
• Main risks: Communication squeezed by consolidation, and momentum without capacity checks.

The Center (中宫), the pivot of the Luo Shu grid, is where the month's planning happens. Annual 1 White (一白) supports coordination and reach, Monthly 8 White favors consolidation, and Period 9 Purple adds visibility. The 1–9 Purple–White Pairing (紫白) between Period 9 and Annual 1 captures the trade: visibility and communication are on the table, with emotional fluctuation and pressure as the price. Together the stars suit a launch plan, team alignment, or a household decision with long-term consequences.

But Annual 1's communication is squeezed: the Earth palace controls its Water, and Monthly 8 controls it directly, so responsibilities can crowd out clear messages. Monthly 8 is retreating and sits in the same element as the palace, so consolidation is reinforced while expansion is not. Reserve the Center for a launch plan or alignment with substance, and check capacity and cost before momentum carries the decision.

West — Mixed · Relationships & Communication

Period 2 · Annual 3 · Monthly 1

• Best for: A brief, documented clarification of a misunderstanding.
• Main risks: Fatigue and defensiveness turning a clarification into a complaint.

The West (兑) offers a narrow opening this month. Period 2 Black (二黑病符) and Annual 3 Jade form the year's 2–3 Bullfight Sha (斗牛煞), the traditional fatigue-and-friction pairing, while Monthly 1 White adds conversation and movement to the same palace. That gives a chance to clarify a misunderstanding, but only if fatigue and defensiveness are acknowledged first.

The Metal palace restrains 3 Jade's Wood and generates 1's Water, softening the friction without removing it. Keep meetings brief, put agreements in writing, and support ordinary rest. Health concerns belong with qualified professionals, not a sector forecast.

Northeast — Mixed · Study & Wellbeing

Period 3 · Annual 4 · Monthly 2

• Best for: Light reading, drafting, and relationship reflection on a humane schedule.
• Main risks: Pressured all-night sessions, and indecision or irritability forcing a break.

Light reading, drafting, or relationship reflection can all stay in the Northeast (艮) this month. Period 3 Jade and Annual 4 Green share Wood in the 3–4 Jade–Green Wind-Demon Pairing (碧绿风魔), bringing ideas and writing, while Monthly 2 Black adds the rest-and-maintenance caution, reinforced by the Earth palace. Period 3 and Monthly 2 also form the 2–3 Bullfight Sha, so fatigue and irritability rise when sessions run long.

The Wood stars control 2's Earth without removing it, so keep the work gentle and the schedule humane. If indecision or irritability rises, reduce the scope and take a break instead of trying to force inspiration.

North — Mixed · Career & Noble Help

Period 5 · Annual 6 · Monthly 4

• Best for: Quiet applications, study, rules, and technical competence.
• Main risks: Drilling, renovation, and commotion that stir the unsettled base beneath the desk.

The North (坎) pairs Annual 6 White with Monthly 4 Green in the 4–6 Academic–Authority Pairing (文昌见官): authority and experienced advice meet the study-and-planning channel, favored by the Water palace. That pairing sets the North's realistic work: applications, study, rules, and technical competence rather than physical activation.

The pairing is bounded. Annual 6's Metal controls Monthly 4's Wood, so discipline also feels restrictive, and Period 5 Yellow beneath keeps the disturbance caution in view. In 2026 the North also carries Sui Po and San Sha, the year's firmest restraint on optional drilling, demolition, and excavation. Calm mental work can use the constructive annual-monthly relationship; physical activation cannot.

Northwest — Caution · Health & Wellbeing

Period 1 · Annual 2 · Monthly 9

• Best for: Gentle planning and light routines, kept low demand.
• Main risks: Overheating, over-scheduling, and treating busyness as proof the sector can carry more.

Keep the Northwest (乾) low demand this month. Annual 2 Black is the rest-and-maintenance caution, and Monthly 9 Purple is the ruling timely star, but its Fire generates Annual 2's Earth: the month's strongest star is powering the caution, not softening it. Do not interpret the 9 as an automatic cure for the year's health-and-rest symbolism.

Reduce overheating, over-scheduling, and prolonged strain, and go easy on extra candles and bright lamps. Gentle planning is reasonable. If the father or household authority figure rests or works here, make this the low-demand end of the household: no heavy reviews, no late working sessions. Medical symptoms still require appropriate care regardless of the chart.
