According to the Chinese calendar,
2024 is the yang Wood Dragon year (aka Green Dragon), but it should be remembered that the start of the yang Wood Dragon year does not coincide with the beginning of the western year (January 1st). The astrological year of the yang Wood Dragon starts on February 4th, 2024 8:26 am, and will end on February 3rd, 2025 14:15 pm (GMT+0 – Greenwich Mean Time).
So, it is important to remember that from January 1st, 2024 until February 3rd, 2024, we still are in the previous year, the yin Water Rabbit year. If you live in a different area of the world, you can use bazi-calculator.com, which does all corrections automatically, and you can accurately calculate your local time.
The Dragon is the third zodiac animal
of the seasonal cycle in the Chinese calendar, it is the third and last spring animal and is mainly connected to the Wood energy. In the yang Wood Dragon year, the leading energies will be Wood and Earth, especially yang Wood and yang Earth. We do not find Fire or Metal.
Like the previous year, this year Wood is still very strong; but the lack of Fire does not allow the Wood to evolve and transform, except in some months in which the Fire appears and unblocks the situation.
2024 Feng Shui General Assessment: Tai Sui, Sui Po and San Shas
In Feng Shui, we say that in 2024 the Dragon is the Lord of the Year, also called the Tai Sui or Grand Duke of the Year. The Dragon is associated with the southeast direction, specifically standing at southeast 1. Thus, the whole sector (or South East Palace) is associated with the Tai Sui. Opposite to the Dragon, we find the Dog in northwest 1. The Dog is the Dragon’s enemy, called Sui Po, or Year Breaker.
In addition to Tai Sui and Sui Po, we must also take into account the San Shas, which represent difficult or dangerous directions. In a Dragon year, the San Shas are generally connected to the south direction.
We have Robbery Sha in southeast 3, Snake direction; Calamity Sha in south 2, Horse direction; and finally, the Earth Sha is in southwest 1, in the Goat direction.

How can these Shas manifest themselves?
Robbery Sha indicates the possibility of something being stolen from you, but much more often, the possibility of losing something we have, or thought we had already gained.
This can also be on a metaphorical level, so not necessarily a loss of a physical asset, such as money, but it can be something that is stolen on an abstract level: an idea, a recognition, a promotion, or help.
Calamity Sha is the strongest type of Sha and is related to problems of various kinds, setbacks, and difficulties.
Finally, the Annual Sha or Earth Sha is always connected to delays, slowdowns, blockages, difficulties in moving forward, and things of that nature.
The last piece of information concerns the flying stars. The most problematic star is star 5, which is located in the west this year. Star 5 is associated with unforeseen events, disasters, and sudden changes.
Of course, you will find all this information in the 2024 Feng Shui Guide & Planner, where you will also find much more!
Most challenged areas and directions in 2024
First of all, the southeast, west, and northwest areas should not be touched this year; therefore, even minimal changes to the interiors should be avoided, like knocking down, moving furniture, or changing functions (for example, a study room becomes a bedroom). If you need to make changes in these areas, you can use the 2024 Feng Shui Guide & Planner to select a good day.
This is even more important for houses facing east, southeast, or northwest.
In this case, as they are the most sensitive dwellings, they should not undergo changes anywhere inside or outside of the house. Dwellings with the back to the west or northwest are more in trouble. If you still need to make changes, I recommend you seek professional advice or use the 2024 Feng Shui Guide & Planner to calculate the best date.
Removals, relocations, and property purchases in 2024
This year, you should not buy or move into a dwelling that has its back to the south, west, or northwest. You should also avoid dwellings that have a west or northwest front door. If you cannot help it, it is very important to calculate the correct date for your purchase, and the day you enter your new home, using the 2024 Feng Shui Guide & Planner.
Bed positioning 2024
Regarding bed positioning, in the Green Dragon year you should avoid placing a bed with the back to the south, west, or north west unless you are very careful with Date Selection. If you cannot do otherwise, select the most suitable month (i.e. with good Flying Stars), and the best day to avoid danger. You can do it with the 2024 Feng Shui Guide & Planner.
Desk positioning 2024
As for the placement of an important desk, you should avoid a desk with the back to the south, west, or northwest this year.
Again, if you cannot do otherwise, seek professional advice or use the 2024 Feng Shui Guide & Planner to select the most suitable month (i.e., with good Flying Stars), and the best day to avoid dangers. In the Feng Shui Guide & Planner 2024 you will find an in-depth chapter on desk positioning, which has been expanded this year.

Water feature placement in 2024 (fountain, fish tank)
What about placing a fountain or a fish tank? Now, first here we are talking about a small water feature to be placed inside your home, something you can easily move each end every year.
This year the best is the east direction (you can take the direction from the centre of the room where you want to place the fountain). This will enhance growth and earnings. Remember you have to follow some important rules about placing a water feature. You also need to accurately select the date to start the water feature.
Traveling in 2024: challenging directions
Finally, about long or important journeys, avoid travelling:
- towards southeast, especially in the Rabbit month (roughly March), the Dragon (roughly April), the Dog (roughly October, very dangerous), and the Rat (roughly December, very dangerous);
- northwards, mainly in the Dragon month (April), the Horse (June, dangerous), the Goat (July, dangerous), and the Ox (January 2025);
- westwards, especially in the Tiger month (February), the Dragon (April, very dangerous), the Horse (June), the Rooster (September, very dangerous), the Boar (November), the Ox (January 2025, very dangerous);
- towards northwest, especially in the Rabbit month (March), the Dragon (April), the Dog (October, very dangerous), and the Rat (December, very dangerous).
Again, if you cannot help it, it is important to calculate the correct date for the start of the trip using the 2024 Feng Shui Guide & Planner.
Now, let’s look at how the year energies appear as Earth Qi, then at the Feng Shui level, analysing the directions, areas within the home, and times during the year. So, now let us look at the energetic features within the home, using the Flying Stars method.

2024 Feng Shui – Flying Stars
First, you have to determine the back and front of your house, which is usually quite intuitive. If you do not know how to do this, you can ask for help in our Community. You can join the Community for free.
Once you have determined the back and the facing, draw a 3×3 grid on the floor plan of your house. This grid is called “Ba Gua”. Then, using a common compass, mark the north direction and all other directions clockwise. In this way, you will associate each of the nine boxes with a specific geographical direction. In Feng Shui, each of these nine boxes is called a ‘Palace’.
Do not place the Ba Gua with the north where the front door is, as you read on the Internet or in some book, this has nothing to do with Feng Shui, it is a completely wrong method that you should definitely avoid. This is very important!
What can you do in your home to take advantage of the Dragon’s favourable energies? How can you deal with unfavourable energies? Now, we are ready to analyse the energetic features of each of the Nine Palaces!
Detailed Feng Shui analysis the new 2024 Feng Shui Guide & Planner!
2024 Feng Shui North Palace
Yearly star 8 yang Earth is visiting the North Palace. This is a good star, bearing help, assistants, happiness, and small earnings. However, star 8 conflicts with the boss, star 1. This is a Water-Earth clash, so in this room there is some contrast between evolution and stability. If you use this room a lot, take care of your kidneys, hearing, and fluid circulation problems.
Do not place a desk or a bed facing north, especially in this room.
Because of this configuration, the north direction is very good for activating the Wealth Position. It can be done in the living room, in a study room or in a working room. Look for the north direction from the room centre.
2024 Feng Shui Northeast Palace
Yearly star 6 yang Metal is visiting the North East Palace. This is a good star, bearing authoritativeness, authority, career, power, command, determination, and reputation improvements. It helps military careers and literary pursuits, careers in corporations or big companies. It favours long life and health. This is one of the best areas in 2024. This is a yang room, better for yang (daylight time) activities.
Houses facing northeast or southwest are the best in 2024.
2024 Feng Shui East Palace
Yearly star 1 Water is visiting the East Palace. This is a very good star, bearing development, growth, expansion, studies, novelty, fame, and success. It boosts academic success, especially in literature and arts. It helps studies and favours social network expansion. This area is also very good for long-term growth, gains, and success in your work. There is also a potential for earnings if this is your working position. It is also very favourable as a bedroom.
This is probably the best area in 2024.
If you have a specific goal, you can invigorate star 1 using a small fountain in the east direction. The water must always be moving. Use the lunisolar calendar to pick a good date to start the fountain. Remember: never put a fountain in bedrooms, long corridors, secondary rooms, or stairs.
2024 Feng Shui Southeast Palace
Yearly star 2 yin Earth is visiting the South East Palace. Star 2 has mixed qualities. Star 2 has to do with activating your social network, nurturing, fertility, wealth, health, and completion; but diseases and blockages too. There is a potential for earnings, but this will be very exhausting. You could experience stubbornness and difficulties. Harassment and arguments between woman and mother-in-law, if she is living with you. Overall, it portends quarrel and contrast between younger women and older women.
In 2024 southeast is the Tai Sui area, so you shouldn’t make any changes or renovations here. If you want to do so, it is much better before 2024 February 3rd, or after 2025 February 4th. Do not start demolition or construction work in the southeast area.
2024 Feng Shui South Palace
Yearly star 7 yin Metal is visiting the South Palace. Star 7 bears disputes, theft, violence, contrast, judgement, viciousness, destruction, and fast action. This is not a good star. Luckily, it is controlled by Fire, Lord of the South Palace. There is a potential of fire hazard in this area, so take care and check anything related to fire (oven, cooker, electric appliances, boiler, etc.).
Do not place a desk or a bed facing north, especially in this room.
2024 Feng Shui Centre Palace
Yearly star 3 yang Wood is visiting the Centre Palace. Star 3 is related to competition, assertion, arguments, ambition, inventions, ranking, determination, persistence, impulse, stubbornness, and corruption. In this Palace, it is connected to losses, injuries, sickness, delinquency, and getting into trouble because of money (gambling, wrong speculation).
If the centre is wide and open, the effect will be worse. If it is smaller, blocked, cut or unusable, that is better. You will find more information in the 2024 Feng Shui Guide & Planner.
2024 Feng Shui Southwest Palace
Yearly star 9 Fire is visiting the South West Palace. Star 9 is related to activity, help, prosperity, and new ideas. In this Palace, Star 9 can lead to immense success and promotion. This is particularly favourable if an adult woman is using this room, especially for work matters. Also, very favourable as a bedroom.
Houses facing northeast or southwest are the best in 2024.
This is one of the best areas in 2024.
2024 Feng Shui West Palace
Yearly star 5 yin Fire is visiting the West Palace. Star 5 is the most unfavourable one. It is related to sudden and unexpected changes, accidents, misfortune, perversion, and disaster, but spirituality and personal evolution too. Do not make any minor or major changes in this area. If possible, do not use this area. Do not add a red or green colour.
If you have to use this area, use it for a quiet activity. If the area is missing, cut, or blocked – this is better in 2024. The same if there is a bathroom, a toilet, a closet, or a secondary room. If you can see a lake, a pond, or a swimming pool outside in the west direction, you are already safe. If you can use this area for meditation or spiritual purposes, that is good. Don’t engage in risky activities here.
This star is moderated using calmness, silence, quiet activities, symmetry, orderliness, and cleanness.
In 2024, the west area is the worst one. Do not start demolition or construction work in this area.
2024 Feng Shui Northwest Palace
Yearly star 4 yin Wood is visiting the North West Palace. Star 4 is the “lesser fortune” star. It helps love, creativity, academic success, studies, and arts. In 2024, the northwest direction is also the Sui Po. Do not make any minor or major changes in this area. This place must be left quiet and be used for everyday activities. Do not move or replace furniture. Do not start demolition or construction work in this area.
Star 4 is related to two different scopes. It is the star of scholarly and academic success, and it also is the star of love. You need to know how to activate this star. You can find more information in the 2024 Feng Shui Guide & Planner.
