FAQ
Where is the 5 Yellow star in 2027?

When does the 2027 flying star chart start?
At Lichun (Start of Spring), February 4, 2027 at 09:46 Beijing time, not on January 1 or at Chinese New Year. It will run until Lichun 2028, February 4, 2028 at 15:31.

The Tai Sui will be in the Southwest at the 未 mountain (202.5° to 217.5°), the Sui Po opposite it in the Northeast (22.5° to 37.5°), and the Three Killings in the West (申酉戌). They follow from the year's Earthly Branch, 未.
