It is the first month of winter, belonging to the Hai month. November 2026, the Bingwu Year of the Horse (with Ganzhi being Jihai), has passed the Beginning of Winter solar term. The metal is cold, and the water is cold between heaven and earth, and the Yang energy is hidden. For those of us who pursue harmonious living, adapting to the seasons and adjusting the aura are key to avoiding misfortune and improving fortune. In this month, the five elements of water are strong, forming an image of water and fire complementing each other with the annual branch Wu fire, but there is also a risk of conflict. Destiny Palace will provide you with a detailed explanation of this month's feng shui layout to help you get through it safely and smoothly.
I. Analysis of the Monthly Flying Star Chart for November 2026
2026 is the ninth cycle of the Lower Yuan, and the annual flying star is the Seventh Red Broken Army Star entering the central palace. In November (Hai Month), the monthly flying star is the Eighth White Left Auxiliary Star entering the central palace. The meeting of the annual star and the monthly star forms the unique aura distribution of this month. The following is the Jihai Month Nine Palace Flying Star Chart:
(Note: In the number combination above, the former is the annual flying star, and the latter is the monthly flying star)
This month, auspicious stars converge in the southwest, northwest, east, and north directions, while inauspicious stars occupy important positions such as the central palace, southeast, and northeast. Therefore, promoting auspicious directions and resolving inauspicious directions is the core of this month's feng shui adjustment.
II. Detailed Explanation and Layout Recommendations for Each Direction's Auspiciousness
Very Auspicious Directions
Southwest (Nine Purple Right B弼 Star + One White Greedy Wolf Star): This is the position where popularity, romance, and future wealth stars meet, which is beneficial to marriage, benefactors, and long-term investment. Single people can place pink crystals or a bouquet of flowers in this direction to help promote love luck. Office workers can set up their desks in this position or place aquatic plants here, which can effectively improve interpersonal relationships and cooperation opportunities.
Northwest (Five Yellow Unscrupulous Star + Six White Wuqu Star): Although there is an annual five yellow ominous star, it is resolved by the monthly order six white gold star, forming a pattern of "earth generates gold", which mainly leads to windfall wealth and power. This direction should be kept clean and tidy, and copper wind chimes or six emperor coins can be placed to transform the earth with gold, which can both release the five yellow ominousness and promote the six white auspiciousness. Suitable for the male head of the family or senior corporate executives to work here.
Secondary Auspicious Directions
East (One White Greedy Wolf Star + Two Black Giant Gate Star): The annual one white auspicious star flies, but it encounters the monthly two black disease talisman. Although there is small auspiciousness, it is necessary to prevent health problems. This direction should not be cluttered and should be kept well-lit. A metal gourd or music box can be placed here to release earth with gold, resolve the two black disease energy, and retain the popularity and wisdom energy of one white.
North (Three Green Lucun Star + Four Green Wenqu Star): Three and four are in the same palace, known as "Green Wind Demon", which mainly leads to quarrels, but is also beneficial to Wenchang, academics and creativity. It is extremely beneficial for people engaged in creative, educational, and planning industries. Four lucky bamboo or Wenchang Pagoda can be placed here to promote Wenchang's aura with water to generate wood. However, be careful to avoid unnecessary disputes with others.
Directions That Need Attention
Center (Six White Wuqu Star + Seven Red Broken Army Star): The meeting of six and seven is the "intersection sword evil", which mainly leads to quarrels, lawsuits, and metal injuries. The center of the home should be kept quiet, and sharp metal objects or objects that make noise (such as fans, clocks) should not be placed. A cup of still water or a black carpet can be placed here to release the gold energy with water and ease the evil spirit.
Southeast (Two Black Giant Gate Star + Three Green Lucun Star): The combination of two and three is the "fighting cow evil", which mainly leads to fighting, lawsuits and diseases. This direction is one of the most ominous positions of the month. If the doors and windows are in this direction, special attention should be paid to family harmony and neighborhood relations. It is better to be quiet than to move, and avoid seeing red and yellow objects. A purple crystal ball or a piece of red paper can be placed to clear and resolve, with fire to release wood, wood to generate fire, and fire to generate earth, so that the evil spirit can flow.
Northeast (Four Green Wenqu Star + Five Yellow Unscrupulous Star): The annual Wenchang star is restrained by the monthly Five Yellow Great Evil, which mainly leads to academic obstruction, confusion of thoughts, and easy to cause accidental disasters. This direction is an area that students' study rooms and offices should focus on avoiding. Do not move earth or renovate. A string of six emperor coins or copper wind chimes can be hung to resolve the five yellow evil spirits with gold and protect the Wenchang's aura from infringement.
West (Eight White Left Auxiliary Star + Nine Purple Right B弼 Star): The eight and nine are in the same palace, and fire and earth are mutually reinforcing, which is originally an auspicious phase, which mainly leads to joy and wealth. However, in the Ninth Fortune, the Eight White is a retreating star, and the Nine Purple is a prosperous star. If the fire is too strong and the soil is scorched, it is easy to cause fire and cardiovascular problems, and it is easy to have the phenomenon of "coming fast and going fast" in wealth. This direction should be kept bright, but not too much red decoration. Ceramic products or a yellow carpet can be placed to stabilize the aura.
South (Seven Red Broken Army Star + Eight White Left Auxiliary Star): The seven and eight combinations, earth and gold are mutually reinforcing, which is beneficial to wealth and eloquence. However, the Seven Red is the Broken Army Star, which is prone to quarrels and loss of wealth. Yellow jade Pixiu or cornucopia can be placed in this direction to generate gold with earth, promote wealth, and stabilize the aura to prevent wealth from coming and going. Note that this direction is also the Tai Sui direction in 2026, so it is not suitable to move earth.
III. Special Reminders for Personal and Office Feng Shui
- Office Desk Layout: Try to place the desk in the auspicious position of the room (such as southwest, northwest), and ensure that there is a support behind the seat (wall or bookcase), and the front has a wide view. The left side of the desk, the green dragon position, should be high, and documents and computers can be placed; the right side of the white tiger position should be low, and pen holders and other small objects can be placed.
- Zodiac Fortune: This month is the Jihai month, which clashes with the zodiac snake, harms the zodiac monkey, and is self-punishing with the zodiac pig. Friends who are snakes, monkeys, and pigs need to be extra cautious this month, keep a low profile, and avoid major decisions. You can wear the corresponding three-in-one noble accessories (such as snakes wearing chicken and ox accessories) to resolve it.
- Color Energy: This month, water is strong, and you can wear earth (yellow, brown) or gold (white, gold) clothing and accessories to balance the five elements and stabilize your aura.
IV. Conclusion
The method of feng shui lies in "taking advantage of qi", that is, conforming to the flow of energy in the universe and nature.
