The Wicked Five Yellow Star And

How To Pacify It
December 5, 2018

Among the 3 flying stars of 2, 3, and 5,that cause annual afflictions,

the five yellow is the most deadly.

Capable of causing life-threatening illnesses and financial catastrophe,

if there is one feng shui motivated act that you will allow yourself to do
each year, it is in pacifying the 5 yellow to avoid grave misfortune.

If I get a dollar to slot into the piggy bank each time an ill person
retrospectively discovers that he is afflicted by the yellow star, my
piggy bank would have already exploded within a few months.

With so many real life case studies (which some might argue as
coincidence), it is best to take bold action in keeping it under control
or at least err on the side of caution by keeping it in mind.

Characteristics of the 5 yellow

The five yellow is one of the 9 stars in flying star feng shui.

Itʼs mandarin name is pronounced as Lian Zhen Xing. But more

commonly known as (Wu Wang) literally translated as five yellow.

It is associated with (as you might expect) the number 5, the earth
element, and the center of the luo shu grid.

As the center is not associated with any of the 8 trigrams, the

 misfortune that it can bring is seldom limited to a particular member in
the household as trigrams can predict, but to all member residents.

For the year 2018, it sits at the north.

A table showing where it will enter the house from (in upcoming years)
can be observed at the end of this article.

Because it is of an earth element,

Fire and earth will energize it

Water will send it into an eating frenzy
Wood will anger it
Metal will exhaust it

As listed above, without considering other dynamic factors of feng

shui, the only element that will be able to control it is metal.

It must be noted that while wood will attempt to smash it according to

the cycle of destruction, it can only raise the wrath of the 5 yellow as it
fends for itself. Pulling everything and everyone down with it.

And while water would also exhaust it as earth will be drawn into
attacking water, this would only serve to empower it into committing
more rash acts.

A star combination with 9 can lead to disaster.

How to keep the deadly 5 yellow under control

 There are basically 3 types of approaches to subdue the 5 yellow and
prevent it from causing a chaotic year for inhabitants.

U. Elemental approach
W. Symbolic approach
Y. Practical approach

Which approach to use depends on your personal preference. Some

people combine 2 or all 3 approaches for a comprehensive totalitarian
solution.

Having said that, no matter which approach is applied, the area where
the 5 yellow resides should be left quiet, undisturbed, and with as little
yang energy as possible.

Even switch off the lights and never turn them on if possible.

The exception is when there is a wealth star in the sector too and the
homeowner wishes to tap onto that wealth star as well.

But that is a discussion for another day. Letʼs move on to the

approaches.

Elemental approach

Remember that the yellow star 5 is of earth energy base. And that it
can be smothered by metal.

This means that a presence of metal in the area can help keep it in a
sleepy and lethargic mood.

For example, if a window is in the room where the 5 yellow enters

https://www.fengshuied.com/5-yellow 2020-03-22, 12=24 PM

Page 3 of 9
 from, then metal grills or window frames might be sufficient to
suppress it.

The colors representative of metal like gold, silver and white will also
add to the strength of metal presence. So will objects that are round
shaped or spherical.

Iʼve seen people set up white window blinds and leave them closed for
the whole year. This acts as a barrier that dissipates the 5 yellow
energy as soon as it meets the window.

The same with doors as the entry point of the star.

A metallic door or a door in white color can help to significantly

weaken the star.

Some feng shui practitioners advocate that the elemental direction it

enters from must also be taken into account.

For example, the 5 star enters from the north in 2018, and the north is
associated with water energy.

This line of thought means that water energy also has to be subdued
by wood.
Read into that what you will.

One must also be mindful that on rare occasions, the 5 yellow can be
pulled into a formation of prosperity star alignments. Rendering it good
luck for the year.

 This can occur when it forms a straight line across the center of the 9-
square grid together with the 2 and 8 stars. Essentially forming a 2-5-
8 combination.

In this case, some people might keep everything as it is.

However, I suggest to practice a more cautious approach and set up

remedies nevertheless.

Symbolic approach

One of the most famous feng shui cures is the placement of wind
chimes.

The thing is that many DIY feng shui practitioners either donʼt realize
what it is supposed to remedy, or just outright do it wrong.

It must be said that the wind chime as a feng shui remedy item is part
elemental and part symbolic.

When used as a counter to the five yellow, the metal wind chimes
might be used as it possess the power of metal energy.

As it cling-clangs about when the breeze arrives, the yang energy acts
to power-up the metal energy as if summoned by the forces of nature.

Hang it on the window which the misfortune star enters and the star
would be clattered into submission and dissolve as if by command.

The other issue to note is that it is best to use wind chimes with 6
metal rods as 6 being a metal number further enforces the muscle of
metal energy.

 Another feng shui symbolic item that can be used as a cure is Chinese
coins.

While ancient Chinese coins are more often used for purposes of
wealth luck, linking 6 of them by tying them together with red strings
can work just as well as a cure against the 5 yellow.

Because of a lesser elemental strength compared to the wind chime,

one can place 2 sets of 6-coins on either side of the window for good
effect. You might even compound that presence by hanging another
string of coins at the window just as you might hand a wind chime.

Practical approach

If you are “lucky”, the practical solution to stopping the 5 yellow is

intuitive.

This can occur when the sector in which the 5 yellow is supposed to
be belongs to a missing corner of the house, or in a space (like a store
room) that is hardly used by anyone.

For example, if the naughty star is at the southeast and the southeast
is a missing corner of the house, then just keep the windows that open
to that area closed. The star will not be able to enter the house.

 And if the star finds itʼs way into the store room, just keep the door to
the room closed and keep accessing it to a minimum.

5 Yellow in birth chart of house

When flying start feng shui is practiced at home, the location of the 5
yellow will depend on the birth chart (natal chart) which is determined
by the age and facing of the house.

For example, if a house is completely built and ready for the family to
move in in 2018 and faces true East, the natal chart would be of period
of 8 facing E2.

 As can be observed in the diagram above:

5 is a water star at the southeast

5 is a mountain star at the north
and a base star at the southwest

Remedies should be used for the most active among the 3 which is
the water star at the southeast. Followed by the mountain star at the
north.

The same remedies mentioned previously can be applied the same

 way here.

The base star is frail, but in this case forms the 2-5-8 combination of
base stars diagonally across from northeast to center to southwest.

This 2-5-8 combination of base stars occur for all period of 8 houses.
