Key Facts at a Glance

★ EAST (震) — Star 9 You Bi (右弼) — MOST AUSPICIOUS

Element: Fire  |  Nature: Supreme Auspicious in Period 9  |  Trigram: Zhen (Thunder/Wood)

The East sector is the undisputed winner of 2026. Star 9 is the current period's ruling star — it brings fame, recognition, celebration, joyous events, and breakthrough opportunities. The Wood element of the Zhen palace produces Fire, further empowering this star. This is the sector to activate for career advancement, social media visibility, and happy occasions like weddings and promotions.

Activate: Place a moving water feature or active area (home office, living room) here. Red and purple décor is excellent. Keep this sector well-lit and active. Fresh flowers and candles enhance the energy.

★ SOUTHEAST (巽) — Star 1 Tan Lang (貪狼) — Auspicious

Element: Water  |  Nature: Future Prosperity Star  |  Trigram: Xun (Wind/Wood)

Star 1 is the star of the upcoming Period 1 (2044–2063), making it a harbinger of future wealth and noble connections. In the SE, Wood palace nourishes this Water star through a productive cycle. Excellent for scholars, writers, and anyone in intellectual or creative pursuits. Also governs career advancement through wisdom and strategy rather than brute force.

Activate: Blue and black décor. A small tabletop fountain is ideal. Place study desks or reading areas here. Metal objects (white, gold) also support Water through the productive cycle.

★ SOUTHWEST (坤) — Star 8 Zuo Fu (左輔) — Auspicious

Element: Earth  |  Nature: Residual Wealth Star  |  Trigram: Kun (Earth)

Star 8 was the reigning star of Period 8 (2004–2023). While its peak power has passed, it still carries significant wealth energy, especially related to property and real estate. In the SW Kun palace (Earth), Star 8 is in its home element — very stable. Good for the matriarch, mother figures, and real estate transactions.

Activate: Yellow and earthy tones. Crystals and stone decorations. Keep this area neat, bright, and welcoming. Good for a family gathering area.

★ WEST (兌) — Star 4 Wen Qu (文曲) — Auspicious

Element: Wood  |  Nature: Academic & Romance Star  |  Trigram: Dui (Lake/Metal)

Star 4 governs academic achievement, literary talent, romance, and travel. In Period 9, Star 4 has improved timeliness as Wood feeds Fire (the period element). However, in the West (Metal palace), Metal controls Wood — some friction exists. Best activated by students, researchers, writers, and those seeking romantic connections. Be mindful of potential extramarital attractions.

Activate: Green plants (living Wood helps), four stalks of lucky bamboo. Place study materials here. Avoid excessive metal décor in this sector for 2026.

★ SOUTH (離) — Star 6 Wu Qu (武曲) — Mixed (TAI SUI Warning)

Element: Metal  |  Nature: Authority & Military Star  |  Trigram: Li (Fire)

Star 6 normally brings authority, discipline, and leadership energy. It's a noble star associated with power and military achievement. However, in 2026 the South sector hosts Tai Sui (太歲) — the Grand Duke Jupiter. This means absolutely no renovations, ground-breaking, or loud disturbances in the South, regardless of how auspicious Star 6 might otherwise be. Fire (Li palace) also controls Metal (Star 6), weakening this star further.

Remedy: Keep the South quiet and undisturbed. Do not sit facing North (which means your back faces Tai Sui). Place a Tai Sui plaque or offering in this sector if it's your main door direction. Avoid hammering, drilling, or moving heavy furniture here.

★ CENTER (中宮) — Star 2 Ju Men (巨門) — Inauspicious

Element: Earth  |  Nature: Illness Star  |  Position: Center of Home

Star 2 in the center affects the entire household. This is the primary illness star — it brings health problems, particularly for the elderly, pregnant women, and those with digestive or abdominal issues. Since it occupies the center, every room in the house is influenced to some degree. Earth element is strong as the center has no fixed trigram allegiance.

Remedy: Place a metal wind chime (6-rod, hollow) in the center of your home. A brass Wu Lou (gourd) or string of six Chinese coins also works. Metal exhausts Earth. Avoid fire, red objects, and candles in the center area. If your staircase is in the center, hang the wind chime from its ceiling.

☠ NORTHWEST (乾) — Star 5 Lian Zhen (廉貞) — MOST DANGEROUS

Element: Earth  |  Nature: Five Yellow (Wu Huang 五黃)  |  Trigram: Qian (Heaven/Metal)

The dreaded Five Yellow lands in the Northwest — the sector of the patriarch, the father, the eldest male, and the head of the household. Star 5 brings catastrophic misfortune: accidents, financial ruin, serious illness, and unexpected disasters. The NW (Metal palace) does exhaust Earth somewhat, which helps, but the fundamental danger remains extreme. If your main door, bedroom, or office is in the NW, take remediation very seriously .

Remedy: Place a salt water cure (a jar with salt, water, and six coins on the surface) in the NW. Add a heavy metal object — a brass bell, metal singing bowl, or six-rod wind chime. Do NOT renovate, dig, or disturb the NW ground in 2026. Keep this area quiet and still. Avoid yellow and red colors here.

★ NORTHEAST (艮) — Star 3 Lu Cun (祿存) — Inauspicious

Element: Wood  |  Nature: Conflict, Lawsuits, Arguments  |  Trigram: Gen (Mountain/Earth)

Star 3 brings quarrels, legal disputes, misunderstandings, and hostile relationships. In the NE, Earth (Gen palace) controls Wood (Star 3), which provides some natural suppression. However, if your main door or bedroom is here, expect increased tension. Particularly affects the youngest son or young males in the household.

Remedy: Use Fire element to exhaust Wood — a red lamp, red doormat, or red art piece. A small LED light kept on in this sector continuously helps drain Star 3's argumentative energy. Avoid green and blue here. Do not place aquariums or water features in the NE.

★ NORTH (坎) — Star 7 Po Jun (破軍) — Inauspicious + SUI PO + SAN SHA

Element: Metal  |  Nature: Robbery, Betrayal, Deception  |  Trigram: Kan (Water)

The North sector is the most afflicted direction in 2026 . It receives Star 7 (robbery, betrayal, backstabbing, sharp injuries) plus Sui Po (Year Breaker — opposite Tai Sui) plus San Sha (Three Killings). This triple affliction makes the North extremely dangerous. Do not sit with your back to the North. Do not undertake any renovations or ground-breaking in this direction.

Remedy: Place a bowl of still water (yin water) to weaken Metal. A blue rug or blue objects help. Three bamboo stalks in water can represent Wood to exhaust Water and control via the cycle. Most importantly: keep the North undisturbed . No drilling, no construction, no loud activities.

甲 Jia Wood Day Master — Year of the Hurting Officer (傷官年)

For Jia Day Masters, 2026 is a year of creative output and bold self-expression . Bing Fire is your Shang Guan (Hurting Officer) — the star of unconventional talent, artistic breakthrough, and challenging authority. The Hurting Officer gives you a voice that demands to be heard. Expect opportunities to showcase skills, launch creative projects, or break free from rigid structures.

The Wu branch contains Ding Fire (your Qi Sha / Seven Killings) and Ji Earth (your Zheng Cai / Proper Wealth). This means your creative expression (Shang Guan) can actually generate income (Cai) — a classic pattern of monetizing talent. However, the Seven Killings hidden inside warns against being too aggressive or reckless. Authority figures may push back if you overstep.

Career: Excellent for freelancers, artists, entrepreneurs, and anyone in unconventional work. Corporate employees should watch their tone with superiors. Wealth: Income through creative channels, but avoid speculative investments. Relationships: For males, Hurting Officer can create tension in marriage (it clashes Zheng Guan / the wife's star symbolically). Open communication is essential. Health: Watch for inflammation, respiratory issues (Metal is your resource, and Fire controls Metal). Stay hydrated.

Best months: Ren Yin (Feb), Gui Mao (Mar), Jia Chen (Apr) — when Wood and Water balance the Fire.

乙 Yi Wood Day Master — Year of the Eating God (食神年)

For Yi Day Masters, 2026 brings the gentle creativity of Shi Shen (Eating God) . Unlike the edgy Hurting Officer, the Eating God bestows a relaxed, flowing creative energy — think good food, artistic hobbies, joyful self-expression, and the simple pleasures of life. This is a year to enjoy and to create from a place of contentment rather than rebellion.

Inside Wu (午), Ding Fire is your Zheng Guan (Proper Officer) — career structure and legitimate authority — while Ji Earth is your Pian Cai (Indirect Wealth). The Eating God producing wealth through Official support is a highly favorable pattern for promotions with pay raises, recognition from employers, and stable income growth.

Career: Favorable for recognition and steady advancement. Good for those in food, hospitality, arts, and education. Wealth: Indirect wealth opportunities — side income, investments maturing, unexpected bonuses. Relationships: For females, having both Eating God (contentment) and Zheng Guan (husband star) active is excellent for marriage happiness. Males may find social life expanding. Health: Tendency to overindulge in food and drink. Watch weight gain and digestive issues.

Best months: Geng Yin (Feb), Xin Mao (Mar) — Metal months bring you needed resources.

丙 Bing Fire Day Master — Year of the Companion (比肩年)

For Bing Day Masters, 2026 is your own element year — Bi Jian (Companion / Parallel Star). Bing meeting Bing is like the sun seeing its reflection. Expect heightened confidence, strong willpower, and a sense of personal identity renewal. Competition intensifies as peers with similar ambitions vie for the same opportunities.

The Wu branch is your own Earthly Branch root — Bing Fire is rooted in Wu (午). This year provides extremely strong self-identity, but also the danger of being too strong. Excessive self-reliance can lead to stubbornness, refusal to compromise, and alienating allies. The Companion star also signifies money outflow — friends borrowing money, joint ventures requiring your investment, or increased expenses matching income.

Career: Strong year for independent ventures and leadership. But collaboration requires conscious effort. Wealth: Money comes and goes in equal measure. Avoid guaranteed lending to friends. Relationships: Competition in love; existing relationships may feel stale without renewal effort. Health: Fire overload — watch heart, blood pressure, eyes, and insomnia. Meditation and water activities (swimming, ocean visits) provide balance.

Best months: Ren Shen (Aug), Gui You (Sep) — Water and Metal months cool the excessive Fire.

丁 Ding Fire Day Master — Year of the Rob Wealth (劫財年)

For Ding Day Masters, Bing Fire is your Jie Cai (Rob Wealth) — the most financially volatile of the Ten Gods. This star literally means "wealth being robbed." Expect financial pressure from unexpected expenses, friends or partners taking your resources, failed investments, or partnerships that drain your bank account.

The silver lining: Wu (午) contains Ding's own root — your Day Master finds strength in the branch. You are not weak; you are simply being challenged. The Rob Wealth star also brings boldness, charisma, and the ability to take risks that others would not dare. If you can channel this energy into calculated gambles rather than reckless spending, 2026 can still be productive.

Career: Watch for betrayal from business partners or colleagues who seem friendly. Trust but verify. Wealth: The single most important advice — do NOT lend money, do NOT co-sign loans, do NOT enter joint ventures without ironclad agreements. Protect your assets. Relationships: For males, Rob Wealth competing for your Wealth Star (which in BaZi represents the wife) can indicate romantic competition or temptation. Guard existing relationships. Health: Mental stress from financial worries. Heart and circulatory strain.

Best months: Xin Mao (Mar), Ren Chen (Apr) — Metal controls the robbery, Water cools the fire.

戊 Wu Earth Day Master — Year of the Proper Seal (正印年)

For Wu Earth Day Masters, Bing Fire is your Zheng Yin (Proper Seal) — one of the most benevolent stars. The Seal represents support, protection, education, mentorship, reputation, and authority conferred from above. 2026 is an excellent year for learning, receiving certifications, academic achievement, and gaining the support of mentors or mother figures.

Wu (午) contains Ji Earth (your Jie Cai / Rob Wealth) — so even in this supportive year, there's an undercurrent of peer competition at the branch level. The Seal protects you from above, but at ground level, competitors still challenge. Use the Seal energy to fortify your position through knowledge, credentials, and institutional backing rather than trying to fight battles directly.

Career: Excellent for promotions backed by qualifications. Academic pursuits highly favored. Licensing, certification, and training programs yield results. Wealth: Stable but not spectacular — the Seal year focuses on long-term asset building, not quick gains. Relationships: Mother-figure relationships strengthen. Romance is gentle and nurturing rather than passionate. Health: Generally protective, but Fire producing Earth can cause digestive heaviness. Watch food allergies and bloating.

Best months: Bing Shen (Aug), Geng Yin (Feb) — months where Fire and Earth are balanced.

己 Ji Earth Day Master — Year of the Indirect Seal (偏印年)

For Ji Earth Day Masters, Bing Fire is your Pian Yin (Indirect Seal / Owl Star) . Unlike the warm, supportive Proper Seal, the Indirect Seal is intellectual, unconventional, and sometimes isolating. It brings opportunities through alternative education, niche expertise, spiritual pursuits, and unorthodox thinking. But it can also create overthinking, loneliness, and suspicion.

Wu (午) contains Ji Earth's own root — you are strong in 2026. Your strength plus the Indirect Seal's cerebral nature makes this an ideal year for metaphysical study, research, meditation, and personal cultivation. The Pian Yin is sometimes called the "Owl" because it sees in the dark — uncovering hidden truths, conspiracies, and deep knowledge. But be careful not to become paranoid or excessively secretive.

Career: Favorable for researchers, healers, consultants, and niche specialists. Not ideal for mainstream corporate climbing. Wealth: Indirect pathways to income — royalties, licensing, teaching fees. Relationships: Tendency to withdraw socially. Make a conscious effort to stay connected. Health: Watch for anxiety, insomnia, and overthinking. Meditation is your best remedy.

Best months: Gui You (Sep), Gui Hai (Nov) — Water months cool the Seal's excessive Fire.

庚 Geng Metal Day Master — Year of Seven Killings (七殺年)

For Geng Metal Day Masters, Bing Fire is your Qi Sha (Seven Killings) — the most intense, pressure-filled star of the Ten Gods. The Seven Killings attacks you directly — it is the element that controls you (Fire melts Metal). This brings extreme pressure, high-stakes situations, demanding bosses, and ruthless competition. But for those who can withstand it, Seven Killings is the star of power, transformation, and meteoric rise.

Inside Wu (午), Ding Fire is your Zheng Guan (Proper Officer) and Ji Earth is your Zheng Yin (Proper Seal). This is the classic Sha Yin Xiang Sheng (殺印相生) pattern — Seven Killings producing the Seal, which in turn supports you. Translation: the pressure and challenges of 2026 will ultimately build your credentials, reputation, and authority. Suffering leads to growth.

Career: A make-or-break year. Those who can handle pressure will rise dramatically. Those who buckle will face setbacks. Highly favorable for military, law enforcement, surgery, and competitive industries. Wealth: Wealth comes through power and authority, not passive income. Relationships: Intense, even turbulent. For females, Seven Killings represents an unconventional or demanding romantic partner — exciting but unstable. Health: Fire attacking Metal manifests as respiratory, skin, and bone issues. Injury risk increases. Be cautious with sharp objects and machinery.

Best months: Geng Yin (Feb), Ren Shen (Aug) — Metal months reinforce your strength.

辛 Xin Metal Day Master — Year of the Proper Officer (正官年)

For Xin Metal Day Masters, Bing Fire is your Zheng Guan (Proper Officer) . Moreover, Bing and Xin share a special Heavenly Stem Combination (天干合) — Bing-Xin He (丙辛合) transforms into Water. This makes 2026 profoundly significant: the year literally wants to combine with you. The Officer star represents structure, authority, legitimacy, career advancement through proper channels, and for females, the husband or significant male.

Inside Wu (午), you find Ding Fire (your Qi Sha / Seven Killings) and Ji Earth (your Pian Yin / Indirect Seal). The Bing-Xin combination above, coupled with Seven Killings and Seal below, creates a year of structured ambition — someone offering you a position of responsibility, a promotion, or a leadership role, but it comes with strings attached and hidden pressures.

Career: Outstanding for government roles, management positions, institutional careers, and any path requiring official recognition. Promotions are highly likely. Wealth: Steady, salary-based income growth. Not a year for risky speculation. Relationships: For females, this is the strongest year for attracting a committed, stable partner or deepening an existing marriage. The Bing-Xin combination is one of the most romantic in BaZi. Health: Similar to Geng — Fire on Metal affects lungs, skin, and large intestine. Stay cool.

Best months: Xin Mao (Mar), Xin Chou (Jan 2027) — your own element months bring confidence.

壬 Ren Water Day Master — Year of Indirect Wealth (偏財年)

For Ren Water Day Masters, Bing Fire is your Pian Cai (Indirect Wealth) . This is the star of windfalls, speculative gains, side income, generous spending, social charisma, and (for males) romantic encounters outside of primary relationships. 2026 brings fluid, dynamic wealth energy — money comes through unexpected channels, business deals, social networking, and opportunistic ventures.

Inside Wu (午), Ding Fire is Zheng Cai (Proper Wealth) and Ji Earth is Qi Sha (Seven Killings). Both types of wealth are present — stable and speculative — but the Seven Killings lurks underneath, meaning every financial opportunity also carries hidden risk. Due diligence is essential. The combination of Indirect Wealth above and Seven Killings below can indicate "high reward, high danger" financial scenarios.

Career: Excellent for sales, marketing, real estate, and any income-contingent role. Networking brings breakthrough deals. Wealth: Best wealth year among all Day Masters — but only if you manage risk. Do not invest more than you can afford to lose. Relationships: For males, strong Peach Blossom energy — romantic opportunities abound, but fidelity is tested. For females, focus shifts to financial independence. Health: Fire dries Water — kidneys, urinary system, and hormonal balance need attention. Drink plenty of fluids.

Best months: Ren Shen (Aug), Gui You (Sep) — Water and Metal months amplify wealth-gathering power.

癸 Gui Water Day Master — Year of Proper Wealth (正財年)

For Gui Water Day Masters, Bing Fire is your Zheng Cai (Proper Wealth) . This is the star of earned income, diligent financial management, stable returns, and (for males) the devoted wife or committed partner. Unlike the flashy Indirect Wealth, Proper Wealth rewards hard work, discipline, and consistency. 2026 asks you to build your fortune brick by brick.

Inside Wu (午), Ding Fire is Pian Cai (Indirect Wealth) and Ji Earth is Qi Sha (Seven Killings). You have the unusual situation of both Proper and Indirect Wealth appearing simultaneously — this suggests multiple income streams or a transition from one financial model to another. The Seven Killings at the branch level adds pressure to perform and deliver. No room for laziness in a double-wealth year.

Career: Stable career growth through merit. Good for finance, accounting, property management, and any detail-oriented profession. Wealth: The most reliable wealth year — income is earned and predictable. Good for savings plans and conservative investments. Relationships: For males, strong marriage year — potential wedding or deepening commitment. For females, financial focus dominates romance. Health: Same as Ren — Fire drying Water. Protect kidneys, stay hydrated. Watch for urinary or reproductive health issues during summer months.

Best months: Gui Hai (Nov), Ren Shen (Aug) — Water months restore your core strength.

The Fire Horse Year in Three Sentences

2026 Bing Wu is a Double Fire year in the Fire Period — the most intensely yang, visible, and transformative year of the current decade. Those who can harness Fire's qualities (clarity, visibility, decisiveness, creativity) will experience extraordinary breakthroughs. Those who resist or are already over-heated (excessive Fire in their natal chart) must prioritize cooling, restraint, and health protection.
