A new year, a year of renewed possibilities or a year of smooth sailing or a year of downward spiraling? Metaphysics followers and practitioners are well aware of the changes in energies when a new year is ushered in and how Feng Shui is used to enhance or mitigate the energies. One star that I favor is the Duke Virtue 歲德 star, that in the Xin Chou year of 2021, resides in the S1 sector (24 mountains) of a property. The Duke Virtue star bestows protective and negative mitigating energy to the occupants. Whether you decide to take a chill pill for the year or you plan to aim for the skies, protective energy is always good to have with you. Don’t you agree? Also there’s no stopping you from activating other energies in your home that’ll suit your pursuits.
TLDR; I’ve prepared a table of the first occurrence of a good day to activate the Duke Virtue star in the Xin Chou year of 2021, for all 24 sitting directions.
As the Xin Chou year draws near, many Feng Shui masters will have seminars and some will provide general dates to activate the targeted energies. The highly sought after energies are, the Sun 太陽 star, the Fortune Virtue 福德 star and the Dragon Virtue 龍德 star. Feng Shui practitioners understand that the activation of energies for a property requires certain level of understanding of the property, for instance, the property’s facing or sitting direction, the Flying Star configuration and so on. General dates are at best a hit and miss, however I commend the effort as it takes an enormous feat to provide dates that are at worst benign. But.. is benign what you aim for? After all, you take the effort to perform the actions for activations, so you must be hoping for some results.
Selecting the Date and Time
Selecting a date and time for activation is no easy task. You begin with making sure that you are not accidentally activating negative energies. The conflicting or bad energy are as follows;
Property 3 Killings, Annual 3 Killings, Monthly 3 Killings, Annual Grand Duke, Monthly Grand Duke, Grand Duke Days, Year Breaker, Month Breaker, Day Breaker, 5 Yellow Year, 5 Yellow Month, 5 Yellow Day, Wu Capital Sha, Ji Captal Sha.
Phew~ not all is lost.. make use of metaphysics.digital‘s Feng Shui Calendar so you don’t end up cracking your head trying to maneuver around the bad energies. The how-to will get your started in no time, provided you have Feng Shui foundation knowledge.
The example below illustrates;
S1 sitting property on the 6th of Feb 2021 @ 7:30AM
Duke Virtue star at S1
Heavenly Path star at S1
Great Sun period (red overlay)
Flying Stars configuration for an added layer of analysis
Perform the Activation at the S1 Sector
Locate the S1 sector of the property.
Perform the activation using 1 of the methods below;
Method 1: Drilling the wall. Fast, quick, but intrusive, leaving a hole in the wall. You could always hang a photo frame or painting.
Method 2: Fire activation. Please take the necessary precautions to ensure safety is the first priority.
