Feng Shui of the month: Yi Wei, Yin Wood Goat. July 2026.

The Yin Wood Goat month goes from the 7th of July to the 7th of August included in the solar calendar.

Here is an analysis of the Chi of this month and my practical advices.

If you are not familiar with the Flying Stars of other names used, please refer to the guide below the monthly article.

 

Astrological season: We are now at the end of the summer season. This season is made of the Snake, Horse and Goat signs.

The Goat is an Earth sign and also the storage (end) of Wood in the cycle of Elements.

The Stem this month is Yi or Yin Wood. Yi represents shrubs, grass and small bushes. It is characterised by its ability to bend and adapt while still being strong and determined.

The combination of both sees the Wood re-emerging durign a season while it normally declines. This Chi is a sign of great vitality and can help people who needs the Wood Element in their Bazi. Nevertheless it also agitates the liver and the emotion of anger. For this reason the month could bring some level of societal agitation; but there is also the impetus for hope and change contained within. This flexible Wood Chi is  ideal for body work such as yoga and the Goat is a great time for gatherings and coming together. It is also a time when dialog is easier and renewed. Overall it’s an ideal month to take care of your body, see friends, spend time in nature and practising your art. Writers and painters might be particularly inspired now. The restlessness of last month is gone and this period is more joyful.

Jia Qi (sub-seasons, based on solar terms). They were devised on the Chinese calendar and might resonate a bit less in the Southern hemisphere.

Monthly Feng Shui map

Here is the Feng Shui map of this Chinese month, before adding the Flying Stars.

This month it is both the Southwest and West that are badly affected. I don’t recommend stimulating those sectors and ideally do not spend more time than necesary in the rooms located in the Southwest or West sector of your home.

  • We have the monthly Tai Sui/grand duke in Southwest, as well as the Robbery sha. This sector is this month very sensitive and is concentrate a very strong Chi and it should not be stimulated at all, if possible.
  • We have the 5 yellow (Flying Star) and the San Sha/3 Killings in the West. This sector is also very sensitive
  • We have the monthly Sui Po in Northeast. This sector should also be handled with care and ideally not stimulated much.

Please also refer to the annual remedies for all sectors

For the good sectors now. North is where the monthly Peach blossom is located. While it’s still heavy for the annual Chi, North is also this month benefiting from good sflying stars and should be consisderd and auspicious sector. You can spend time there to activate your romance luck or enhance your reputation. It can als be stimulated gently (more classical music than hard rock for example).

Southeast is where the monthly Sky Horse is located. Yan can spend time over there to fasten up projects and stimulate your career.

Now let’s add the Flying Stars in the mix.

Flying Stars of Ti Wei month

This is where the various Flying Stars land this month. On the left is the monthly Star map; the right illustration is monthly and yearly Stars combined.

 

The prosperous Stars are: 9 and 1 primarely, then 6 and 8

  • The prosperous Star 9 lands in Southwest
  • 1 flies in the East.
  • The 8 Star flies in North
  • 6 lands in Northeast
  • The negative 5 yellow is this month in the West

Le’s analyse the combination of monthly and annual Stars in each directions.

North sees an excellent combination as the prosperous Star 8 and prosperous 6 working together. North remains a sensitive sector for the yearly Chi and afflictions but it can this month be activated gently and at the right time. It is also beneficial this month as the peach blossom sector. This month you can spend time in the North sector of your home.

Northeast sees a rather auspicious combination of 6 and 4 together known as a sum-of-ten. However it is also the location of the month breaker. You can spend time over there but don’t activate it 24/7.

East see a very auspicious 8-1 combination. 8 remains auspicious at the beginning of period 9, even if its influence decreases. You can spend time in the East and activate it this month.

Southeast benefits from the excellent 9 yearly Star. However the 2 is flying there this month. While 2 is gradually becoming more auspicious, the combination with 2 makes it too powerful and negative. I recommend to not activate this sector during this month. The monthly Sky horse however means it can still be beneficial to fasten work projects. If you spend time over there, put 6 metallc objects or a 6 metallic rod windchime to weaken this combination.

South is a sector badly affected this year.  Implement the yearly remedies in this sector as they will also help weaken the Chi of this month. This month it’s also seeing a troublesome 7/5 combination so it’s still not good to activate. Keep this area quiet this month too.

Southwest see the veru auspicious 9 monthly star. However the combination with the 7 is not favorable.Furthemore this sector is seing 2 monhtly afflictions. You can spend time in Southwest this month but be careful to not activate it much.

West is a bad sector this month with two monthly afflcitions including the dreadful 5 yellow. Spend as little time over there and do not activate it.

Northwest is better than last month but the 4/2 combination is not auspicious. You can spend time over there still.

The centre receives a 3/1 combination that is quite good. We however never activates the center, keep it quiet. You can spend time over there.

To summarise:

  • East, North, Northeast and the centre are the best sectors of the month. Spend more time over there.
  • Southeast and Northwest are ok but should not be activated much.
  • Southwest and West are badly affected Spend as litte time over there as possible and do not activate them.
  • South remains tricky, do not activate.

BONUS: ACTIVATE PROSPERITY WITH THE FLYiNG STARS

I’ve selected for you 3 extra auspicious days to activate good combinations of Flying Stars. On those days, just spend as much time as possible in the sector I indicate and use a water feature on all day long. For example if I say East, find the rooms located in East in your floor plan and spend more time in this room. You can also add some nice soft music (like classical). Those days are:

  • 10th of July – EAST
  • 17th of July – NORTH
  • 23rd of July – EAST

If however you have the 5 Flying Star on your house plan in one of those sectors, do not add music to water. Use one or the other.

The flying stars is a numerological system that transcribes some movement of the Chi. So, to be simple; it is a map of the movement of the universal energy and this map is coded through a numerology that gives every star a number attributed to one of the 5 Elements. For example the Star 1 is considered auspicious and is a Water Star 5 is  negative, being linked to illness and calamities and is an Earth Star. The Stars move according to the cosmic flow; they are Stars movement every 2 hours, every day, every month and every year. In this section we are looking at the monthly Stars that have a great influence. The yearly Stars and the auspicious or inauspicious combination they form with the monthly Stars are also analysed and are the basis of the advice I give you in this section.

Keep in mind that your home has its own flying stars, a chart established through the date of construction, renovation or sometimes move-in date. Those stars MUST be analysed and remedied in priority. It is on top of those stars that we use the monthly and yearly stars. Do NOT stimulate for long a room of your home that has the Flying Star 5, outside of 2 hours period I can give you in the Luck boosts. You can use the Luck boosts regardless as they are tapping into a powerful good Chi for the sector during 2 hours. You can contact me for this analysis of your home chart.
