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

March pairs useful intellectual momentum with a sharper communication climate, and its central tension runs through every direction: the month pressures everyone toward quick answers, while the chart rewards verified work. Let research outrun the noise. The Northeast is the month's strongest place for study and writing, the Southeast can carry responsible public or leadership work, and the Center can host a carefully prepared conversation. Keep the South, West, and North relatively undisturbed, and do not use them for rushed decisions or contentious exchanges.

Give visible responsibilities a clear owner in the Southeast, work from evidence in the Northeast, and edit important messages before they pass through the Center. In the quieter sectors, simplify the physical and conversational environment instead of trying to overpower difficult combinations.

• Wealth and business: Southeast for a formal presentation or funding review with visible accountability.
• Career and noble help: Southeast for leadership, standards, and institutional support; North only for quiet, time-boxed administration.
• Relationships and communication: Center for a prepared briefing or moderated conversation; Northeast for relationship-building with rules agreed in advance.
• Study and creativity: Northeast for a study plan, application draft, research, or writing with a firm editorial goal.
• Health and wellbeing: South needs the lightest workload and the least disturbance; West and Northwest hold up best at gentler pacing.
• 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 — Favorable · Wealth & Business

Period 8 · Annual 9 · Monthly 6

• Best for: A formal presentation, funding or resource review, and work needing visible accountability.
• Main risks: Deadline heat overloading the responsible people and authority treated as unlimited capacity.

Put the formal presentation or funding review in the Southeast (巽). Annual 9 Purple (九紫) is the ruling timely star and the Wood palace generates its Fire, so visibility is genuinely supported; Monthly 6 White (六白) adds leadership, standards, and institutional backing, and the 8–9 Same-Palace Pairing (八九同宫) formed by Period 8 and Annual 9 keeps the emphasis on tangible results. Since 8 is retreating in Period 9, the support favors presenting finished work, not selling an unfinished idea. If the household's eldest daughter regularly works here, this is a strong room for presenting completed work and holding client conversations.

The limit is heat. Annual 9's Fire controls Monthly 6's Metal, so deadline pressure can overload the people responsible for maintaining those standards. Define what success requires and what the team can realistically carry before the discussion becomes overloaded with authority.

South — Caution · Health & Property

Period 4 · Annual 5 · Monthly 2

• Best for: Quiet desk tasks, low-key review, and ordinary rest.
• Main risks: Optional demolition, drilling, or repeated disruption and strain on anyone 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 pairing in the Flying Star tradition, and the Fire palace generates both Earth stars, feeding the caution instead of moderating it.

Keep the South calm. A low-key desk task or quiet review can happen here; nothing urgent or high-stakes should. Avoid optional demolition, drilling, or repeated disruption, and if the room is a bedroom or main workspace, prioritize comfort, rest, and necessary maintenance. Go easy on extra candles and bright lamps, which add the Fire that feeds the Earth pair. The sector also holds Tai Sui, and the same restraint extends to physical changes. Neither the chart nor a symbolic object diagnoses or treats a health condition.

Southwest — Mixed · Business & Review

Period 6 · Annual 7 · Monthly 4

• Best for: Editing, compliance review, and negotiations governed by a clear process.
• Main risks: Personal criticism derailing the useful content and tone outrunning facts.

The Southwest (坤) concentrates review this month: Period 6 White and Annual 7 Red (七赤) share Metal, sharpening standards and scrutiny, Monthly 4 Green (四绿) adds editing and planning, and the Earth palace generates the Metal pair. The 4–6 Academic–Authority Pairing (文昌见官), formed by Period 6 and Monthly 4, supports compliance review and formal process.

The Metal controls Monthly 4's Wood, so the useful content survives only if tone stays separate from facts. Allow time to revise before signing or publishing, and do not let personal criticism derail the work. Monthly 4's Wood also expends force controlling the Earth palace, so the sector is precise rather than effortless.

East — Caution · Wealth & Property

Period 7 · Annual 8 · Monthly 5

• Best for: Checking stock, access, insurance, and contingency plans; closing records.
• Main risks: Optional construction, rushed 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 the monthly 5's disruption sets the tone; the Wood palace controls both, which tempers the pair without making it favorable, while Period 7 Red in the background keeps financial loss and security in view.

Use the East for checking stock, access, insurance, and contingency plans. Avoid impulse purchases and keep renovation limited to necessary, properly managed work.

Center — Mixed · Relationships & Communication

Period 9 · Annual 1 · Monthly 7

• Best for: A prepared briefing, moderated conversation, or concise public announcement.
• Main risks: The message gaining sharp edges, exposure to misunderstanding, and reactive commentary.

The Center (中宫), the pivot of the Luo Shu grid, can carry a prepared conversation this month. The 1–9 Purple–White Pairing (紫白), formed by Period 9 and Annual 1, adds visibility and communication, and Monthly 7 Red (七赤) makes the tone sharper. The Earth center restrains Annual 1 White's (一白) Water, so messages only land when they stay tight, and Period 9 and Monthly 7 also form the 7–9 Path-Piercing Pairing (七九穿途): the timely Fire controls 7's Metal, so persuasion can tip into argument or exposure.

The Center works for a prepared briefing, a moderated conversation, or a concise public announcement. Verify sensitive details, assign a spokesperson, and leave reactive commentary for later. The 7's sharpness is a resource only when the message is already edited.

West — Caution · Relationships & Wellbeing

Period 2 · Annual 3 · Monthly 9

• Best for: Brief practical conversations, comfort, and rest with no emotional load.
• Main risks: Fatigue and complaint feeding an argument that keeps burning.

The West (兑) asks for lower pressure this month. Period 2 Black and Annual 3 Jade (三碧) form the year's 2–3 Bullfight Sha (斗牛煞), the traditional fatigue-and-friction pairing, and Annual 3's Wood generates Monthly 9 Purple's Fire, so an argument can keep burning rather than resolving.

Make the West a place to withdraw pressure, not resolve it. Address practical wellbeing and relocate negotiations that already carry resentment.

Northeast — Favorable · Study & Planning

Period 3 · Annual 4 · Monthly 1

• Best for: Study plans, application drafts, research, and creative work with a firm editorial goal.
• Main risks: Scattered effort, gossip, and debate long after a decision is due.

For study and planning, the Northeast (艮) leads the month. Monthly 1 White generates both Period 3 Jade and Annual 4 Green, forming the favorable 1–4 Same-Palace Pairing (一四同宫) that supports learning, ideas, writing, and relationship-building; Annual 4 Green is the Wenchang star, and the 3–4 Jade–Green Wind-Demon Pairing (碧绿风魔) adds competitive drive that works when rules are clear.

The sector is favorable, but not effortless. The Earth palace constrains Monthly 1's Water, and both Wood stars spend force controlling the palace, so a defined question and clear structure matter. Set a study block, an editing session, or a conversation with an agreed outcome, and stop before the competitive edge turns into debate for its own sake. If the household's youngest son regularly studies here, a defined study block with a clear end time plays to the room's strengths.

North — Caution · Career & Conflict

Period 5 · Annual 6 · Monthly 3

• Best for: Quiet, specific, time-boxed administrative work.
• Main risks: A power struggle between authority and initiative and improvised construction.

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, leaving pressure from above, initiative from below, and an unsettled Period 5 base underneath. Do not give that conflict a setting.

Keep the North out of power struggles and improvised construction. Necessary administrative work is fine when it is quiet, specific, and time-boxed. In 2026 the North also carries Sui Po and San Sha, the year's firmest restraint on optional drilling, demolition, and excavation.

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 financial moves.

The Northwest (乾) works best 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.

Use the Northwest for gentle review and routine work. Busyness is not capacity, and a speculative financial move belongs nowhere near this sector. If the father or household authority figure usually works in this sector, keep his obligations light and hold major commitments elsewhere.
