In brief
Each year certain compass sectors turn dangerous: the Grand Duke sits in the year's direction, the Year Breaker opposite it, the Three Killings span a trine, and the 5 Yellow flies to one palace. FengMaster locates all of them for any year, with the classical remedies for each.
Frequently asked
What are the main annual afflictions?
The Grand Duke, Tai Sui, the Year Breaker opposite it, the Three Killings and the flying 5 Yellow and 2 Black. These sectors should be kept quiet, with no digging, drilling or noisy renovation, for the year.
How do I cure the 5 Yellow?
Keep its sector still and settle it with metal, a brass or copper object or a metal six-rod wind chime, and avoid fire, red and disturbance. The 2 Black illness star is cured the same way.
Can I sit facing the Grand Duke?
You may face the Tai Sui for support, but never sit with your back to it, and never disturb its sector with construction. Facing draws its backing; offending it invites obstacles.
