2026 Feng Shui Flying StarsA map of your home's nine zones for the year

2026, the year of the Fire Horse

2026 is a Bing Wu year, yang Fire paired with the Horse, itself a Fire sign. Two Fire elements in one year make a season that moves quickly: things accelerate, and what is unsettled in a home tends to surface. A Fire year rewards a space that is calm and clear, and tests one that is not. This is why the placement of objects matters more in a year like this one.

Why 2026 is different

We are in Period 9, a twenty-year Fire cycle that began in 2024, governing visibility, reputation, recognition, and leadership. The Fire Horse year sits near the height of this cycle, which sharpens all of it. The corners that carry fortune carry more of it this year, and the corners that bring difficulty ask for more care.

The 2026 Flying Star map

Settle the corners that bring difficulty, and support the corners that bring fortune. The map below shows where each of the nine stars sits this year, how they are distributed across the nine zones of a home, and which piece is traditionally placed in each zone. They are arranged at the start of the year, while it is still young, to set the tone for the months that follow.
