FAQ
Where is the 5 Yellow star in 2025?
In the Northeast. The 2025 annual chart had 2 in the centre, so by the Luoshu path the 5 was in the Northeast from Lichun, February 3, 2025, until February 4, 2026.
When does the 2025 flying star chart start?
At Lichun (Start of Spring), February 3, 2025 at 22:10 Beijing time, not on January 1 or at Chinese New Year. It ran until Lichun 2026, February 4, 2026 at 04:02.
Where are the Tai Sui and the Three Killings in 2025?
The Tai Sui was in the Southeast at the 巳 mountain (142.5° to 157.5°), the Sui Po opposite it in the Northwest (322.5° to 337.5°), and the Three Killings in the East (寅卯辰). They follow from the year's Earthly Branch, 巳.
