From July 7 to August 7, 2026, the monthly Flying Stars change position. With them, the character of the energy in each area of the home also changes. Some directions begin to offer stronger support for work, study, and financial matters, while others call for greater caution—especially if your front door, bedroom, or workspace is located there.
It is important to understand that a Flying Stars forecast is not a list of “good” and “bad” rooms. The same area can manifest very differently depending on how actively you use it and what external energy enters this part of the home.
Before examining each area separately, it is worth understanding how to read the forecast correctly. This determines which recommendations will genuinely be useful for your particular space.
How to read a Flying Stars forecast correctly
When people first encounter a Flying Stars forecast, they naturally want to identify the most favorable area immediately—or, conversely, determine which directions to avoid. This approach, however, rarely provides the full picture.
In classical Feng Shui, it is not only the star combination itself that matters, but also how actively that area participates in your everyday life. That is why a professional analysis of a space always begins by assessing the home’s most important zones.
Pay particular attention to:
- the front door of the apartment or house;
- the bedroom and the position of the bed;
- the home office or desk;
- the kitchen and stove;
- doors to the bedroom or office;
- the room where you spend most of the day.
These are the zones through which a person interacts with the energy of the space every day, so the influence of the Flying Stars manifests far more strongly there.
It is equally important to consider what kind of energy arrives from outside. External forms are highly significant in Feng Shui because they determine the nature of the Qi flowing into the home. Pay special attention if one of the following is located in the direction of a particular area:
- a busy road;
- a traffic interchange;
- an intersection;
- an elevator;
- a stairwell;
- a parking lot;
- construction work;
- other sources of constant movement, noise, or vibration.
An active external environment can considerably amplify the influence of both favorable and unfavorable combinations.
For example, if the front door is in a favorable area, or a busy street runs along that side, the supportive energy may manifest much more noticeably. Conversely, if an active entrance zone or a source of constant movement falls in an area with a challenging star combination, that area deserves special attention and the recommended remedies should be applied if necessary.
There is no need to worry about every unfavorable direction. If a difficult combination falls in a storage room, walk-in closet, or room that you hardly use, its influence will generally be much weaker than that of an area where you sleep or work every day, or through which people constantly move.
The central principle of a Flying Stars forecast is to assess not only where the combinations are located, but also which areas are genuinely active in your home. This approach helps you set the right priorities and use the recommendations as effectively as possible.
If you would like to learn to analyze the Flying Stars independently, understand the meaning of each combination, and apply recommendations correctly in practice, consider the course “Flying Stars and Their Combinations”. It examines all the stars, their interactions, and the principles of spatial analysis in detail.
July’s overall energy: the 1–3 combination
The 1–3 combination occupies the center in July. It sets the month’s overall rhythm and accelerates events. Many people will feel that familiar processes are beginning to develop more quickly and that decisions must be made without lengthy deliberation.
Star 1 represents intellect, learning, communication, and strategic thinking. Star 3 strengthens initiative, leadership qualities, and the desire to act. Together, they provide strong support for:
- launching new projects;
- study and professional development;
- negotiations;
- career growth;
- business development.
The month’s high activity also has another side. The combination can intensify:
- emotional reactions;
- conflict;
- the desire to prove oneself right at any cost;
- a tendency toward ill-considered risks.
July’s main recommendation is to use the month’s energy to move forward, but not to make important decisions under the influence of emotion. The calmer and more considered your actions, the more easily you can realize the potential of this combination.
For the recommendations to be genuinely useful, it is important to know exactly where the areas are located in your apartment or house. If you already have a floor plan marked with the Flying Stars, you can move directly to the area-by-area analysis. If you do not yet have a chart, one can be prepared for your property so that you can understand which energies operate in each room and which recommendations truly apply to your home.

Areas requiring special attention
If one of the directions listed below contains your front door, bedroom, home office, or the place where you spend most of the day, pay attention to the condition of these areas and apply a remedy if necessary.
South—the 5–7 combination
The South remains one of July’s most challenging areas. The combination of annual star 5 and monthly star 7 can intensify tension in both communication and everyday situations.
Possible manifestations:
- conflicts and gossip;
- communication errors;
- financial losses;
- food poisoning;
- problems with the throat, teeth, and lungs;
- the risk of injury from sharp objects or surgical procedures.
Families whose youngest daughter’s bedroom is located in the South should pay particular attention to this area.
Recommended:
- avoid renovations and noisy work;
- if possible, spend less time working or resting in the area;
- use Metal, the “Salt–Water–Coins” remedy, and a metal bell for the front door.
West—the 3–5 combination
The 3–5 combination is considered one of the most challenging in July. It can intensify conflict, obstacles, and unexpected difficulties in your affairs.
Possible manifestations:
- arguments and legal disputes;
- financial losses;
- emotionally driven mistakes;
- elevated stress levels.
It is especially important to avoid hasty decisions and becoming drawn into conflicts in this area.
Recommended:
- do not activate the area with renovations or noise;
- avoid risky financial decisions;
- use the “Salt–Water–Coins” remedy.
Southeast—the 9–2 combination
After a very strong June, the character of the Southeast changes noticeably. Annual star 9 amplifies the influence of monthly star 2, bringing health matters to the forefront in July.
Possible manifestations:
- exacerbation of chronic conditions;
- inflammatory processes;
- elevated temperature;
- ill-considered and impulsive actions.
The combination may be useful for matters involving property and land, but activations in this area are no longer recommended in July.
Recommended:
- use metal objects;
- place a Wu Lou gourd;
- pay closer attention to your health if the bedroom or front door is located here.
Areas with mixed energy
These directions cannot be described as entirely favorable or unfavorable. When used correctly, they can provide good support, but it is important to consider their distinctive qualities and apply the recommended remedies if necessary.
Northwest—the 2–4 combination
The 2–4 combination brings together the star of knowledge and creativity with the star of illness. As a result, the area can support intellectual activity while also creating emotional strain.
Possible manifestations:
- fatigue and reduced concentration;
- misunderstandings in relationships;
- difficulties with study;
- heightened sensitivity to stress.
If your workspace is located in this area, take regular breaks and avoid overworking.
Recommended:
- use metal objects;
- keep the area orderly and calm;
- maintain a healthy rest schedule.
Northeast—the 4–6 combination
The Northeast receives a combination of two favorable stars associated with knowledge, career, and professional growth. It is a good area for study, exam preparation, working with documents, and strategic planning.
The area favors:
- career growth;
- negotiations;
The 4–6 combination can, however, intensify disagreements and increase the risk of household injuries. It may also contribute to low mood.
Recommended:
- remain calm in contentious situations;
- exercise caution when handling metal objects;
- use still water to harmonize the area.
Southwest—the 7–9 combination
The 7–9 combination makes the Southwest a fairly active area. It can support advancement, visibility, and project development, but it also heightens emotional reactions and the likelihood of conflict.
The area may support:
- public speaking;
- active professional work.
Possible manifestations:
- gossip and misunderstandings;
- increased irritability;
- allergic reactions and skin problems.
Recommended:
- remain calm when communicating;
- use objects made of natural stone or ceramics to strengthen the Earth element.
July’s best areas
Although several areas call for caution in July, the month also opens up good opportunities. The East and North become the most favorable directions for work, study, financial matters, and new beginnings.
If your workspace, front door, or the room where you spend most of the day is located here, try to use these areas more actively.
East—the 8–1 combination
The East receives one of the month’s most favorable combinations. It brings together the energy of material prosperity and intellectual development, creating good conditions for professional growth and increased income.
The area favors:
- study and professional development;
- important negotiations;
- work on new projects;
- long-term financial planning;
- property matters.
An internal conflict arises between the annual and monthly energies, so adding the Metal element is recommended to harmonize the area.
Recommended:
- use metal objects or decorative metal elements.
North—the 6–8 combination
The North is July’s strongest area. The 6–8 combination supports career growth, greater authority, important decisions, and stable financial development.
This is an excellent place for work, strategic planning, and tasks on which your future development depends.
The area favors:
- career growth;
- business development;
- negotiations with management and partners;
- financial matters;
- property transactions.
If your home office or desk is in the northern area, try to use this space more often for the month’s most important tasks.
Recommended:
- install a quiet fountain or use water with gentle movement.
How to strengthen the month’s favorable energies
A favorable area is an opportunity, but much depends on exactly when you take action.
At ShenQi, we recommend combining Feng Shui with personal activations calculated from your date of birth. They help you choose the most suitable time for important actions, while the combination of favorable timing and favorable space allows you to use the month’s potential as effectively as possible.
In July, it is especially useful not to miss your personal activations, particularly when they fall in the North or East, the month’s strongest areas.
For this, you can use the “Guide to Success”, a personalized service where we calculate favorable activations specifically for you.
Summary
July’s energies are distributed in a fairly contrasting way. The South, West, and Southeast require the greatest caution, especially if your front door, bedroom, or workspace is located there.
The Northeast, Northwest, and Southwest have mixed energy. When used wisely and in accordance with the recommendations, they can provide good support for work, study, and everyday activities.
The East and North are the month’s best areas. Whenever possible, use them for work, important decisions, study, and planning new projects.
Remember that a Flying Stars forecast is a tool for analyzing space, not a universal scenario of events. Energy manifests most noticeably in the areas you use every day. It is therefore important to consider not only the stars’ positions, but also the particular features of your own property.
