Monthly chart · Start of Winter 立冬
Flying stars, November 2027
The November 2027 chart
North-up. Each sector shows its monthly star for this four-week period, which opens on the Start of Winter (立冬) around the 7th.
Where it stacks on the 2027 chart
The monthly layer matters most where it reinforces the annual one. For November 2027 the overlaps are:
No doubled afflictions this month. Every sector carrying a difficult monthly star sits on a neutral or favorable annual star, so the caution is read as temporary rather than compounded.
No doubled support this month. The favorable monthly stars fall on sectors that are neutral for the year, so tradition treats their benefit as mild.
Sector by sector
| Sector | Monthly star | Annual star | Traditional reading |
|---|---|---|---|
| N | 1, White 1 一白 | 5, Yellow 5 | Career, wisdom, and new beginnings; a timely star in Period 9's neighborhood. |
| NE | 8, White 8 八白 | 3, Jade 3 | The wealth star of Period 8; most schools still read it as prosperous early in Period 9 (some now downgrade it, school split). |
| E | 3, Jade 3 三碧 | 7, Red 7 | The Quarrel Star (是非): gossip, disputes, legal friction. |
| SE | 4, Green 4 四綠 | 8, White 8 | The Scholar Star (文昌): study, writing, and romance; mildly favorable. |
| S | 9, Purple 9 九紫 | 4, Green 4 | The ruling star of Period 9 (2024–2043): celebration, recognition, and current prosperity. |
| SW | 2, Black 2 二黑 | 6, White 6 | The Illness Star (病符): traditionally linked to health troubles; kept quiet and undisturbed. |
| W | 7, Red 7 七赤 | 2, Black 2 | The Robbery Star (破軍): loss, theft, and leaks now that its period has passed. |
| NW | 6, White 6 六白 | 1, White 1 | Authority and helpful people; steady, mildly favorable. |
How this chart was derived
The first solar month of a feng shui year takes its center star from the year's Earthly Branch: 8 for Rat, Horse, Rabbit and Rooster years, 5 for Dragon, Dog, Ox and Goat, 2 for Tiger, Monkey, Snake and Pig. Each following month the center star drops by one, and the remaining stars fly forward along the Lo Shu path. 2027 opens with 5 in the center, and this is month 10 of that sequence, which puts 5 in the middle.
Every month of 2027 is listed on the monthly charts hub, and any year's annual chart can be generated with the flying star chart tool.
The flying stars are a traditional system with no scientific support. What that means, and where feng shui advice does have research behind it, is set out on our evidence page.
Frequently asked questions
Where is the Five Yellow in November 2027?
The Five Yellow (五黃) occupies the Center sector for the solar month running Nov 7 – Dec 6, 2027. Tradition treats it as the month's sector to leave undisturbed: no renovation, drilling, or loud activity, and metal objects as the customary drain. The Illness star 2 sits in the SW sector and is handled the same way.
What dates does the November 2027 flying star chart cover?
Nov 7 – Dec 6, 2027. Feng shui months run from one solar term (節) to the next rather than from the first of the Gregorian month, so this chart opens on the Start of Winter (立冬) around the 7th. Boundary dates shift by a day or so year to year.
Which sector is favorable in November 2027?
The wealth star 8 lands in the NE sector and the Purple 9, the ruling star of Period 9, sits in S. Tradition activates such sectors with light, activity, and time spent there. None of them coincide with a favorable annual star this month, so the effect is read as ordinary rather than amplified.
Does the monthly chart replace the annual chart?
No, it layers on top of it. The annual chart is treated as the slower, stronger influence and the monthly stars as a four-week modifier. The months that matter most are those where a monthly affliction lands on a sector that is already afflicted for the year.
