The 2027 Flying Star chart is the annual chart for the Year of the Fire Goat (Ding-Wei). Its center star is 9 Purple, the star of the current Period 9, which runs from 2024 to 2043. Each of the nine sectors gets one star. The 5 Yellow in the north is the one most schools treat with the most caution. The chart is laid over your floor plan, so it only means something once you know which way your home faces.

Names differ between schools, so treat them as shorthand, not fixed meanings.
How the annual chart works
The center star changes every year, moving one step at a time. It is 1 in 2026 and 9 in 2027. The other stars then fly around the grid from the center along a fixed path, so the whole pattern shifts each year.
The annual chart sits on top of your home’s own base chart. Reading only the annual chart leaves out your building’s period and facing, so it gives a general picture, not a full reading.
The annual afflictions for 2027
Four features are traditionally treated as sensitive this year:
- 5 Yellow in the North. The most cautioned star of the chart. Keep the sector quiet.
- Tai Sui in the Southwest. The Goat year places Tai Sui in this sector. Avoid digging and heavy work there.
- Sui Po in the Northeast. Sui Po sits opposite Tai Sui. Traditional advice is to leave it undisturbed.
- Three Killings in the West. The West also holds the 2 Black star, so it is usually treated with extra care.
The Tai Sui and San Sha guide explains these afflictions and how to plan around them.
Sector-by-sector notes
These notes are short and general. They are traditional suggestions, not proven advice.
- Center (9 Purple). A good place for shared time and celebrations. Warm light suits it.
- Northwest (1 White). A calm, uncluttered corner suits study or planning.
- West (2 Black). Keep it quiet and avoid heavy activity or new works. The Flying Star 2 guide explains the label and its limits.
- Northeast (3 Jade). Keep it calm. Avoid renovation, as traditional advice suggests.
- South (4 Green). Good for study and creative work. A plant suits this sector.
- North (5 Yellow). Keep it tidy and quiet. Avoid a bed or a regular seat here. The Five Yellow Star guide covers remedies and their limits.
- Southwest (6 White). Traditionally treated as a steady place for decisions. Avoid heavy construction, given the Tai Sui.
- East (7 Red). Keep valuables and important papers secure, and be careful with contracts made in this sector.
- Southeast (8 White). A useful place for planning and money matters. The Flying Star 8 guide explains its timing.
Practical steps for 2027
- Keep the afflicted sectors quiet and uncluttered.
- Postpone heavy construction in the sensitive sectors if the timing is flexible.
- Use the calmer sectors for rest and planning.
- Keep spending on remedies small. A single well-chosen item is the usual advice.
Mapping the chart onto your home
- Find your home’s facing direction with a reliable compass.
- Sketch the floor plan with north at the top.
- Divide the plan into a 3×3 grid, so each cell corresponds to one compass sector. The grid looks like the bagua map, but here each cell is fixed to a compass direction.
- Place the annual stars from the table above onto the matching cells.
Some schools orient the grid differently, so check your method. A sector close to a boundary may need a closer reading, and a practitioner can help with that. The Xuan Kong Flying Stars guide explains the method in full.
Frequently asked questions
Is 2027 a good year? The chart describes energies in each sector. It does not predict events. Some sectors are described as favorable and others as sensitive.
Do I need a chart calculated for my home? For a precise reading, yes. This article is a general annual overview, and a full reading uses your home’s period and facing.
What is the most important sector to watch? Most schools point to the North, where the 5 Yellow sits. Keep it quiet and tidy.
