01 Core Impact of the 2026 Northwest (Qian Palace) Feng Shui Pattern
In the 2026 Bingwu Year of the Horse, the Two Black Star (Wu Xing: Earth), symbolizing "illness" and health risks, flies to the Northwest sector (Qian Palace, Wu Xing: Metal). This star governs health issues, recurrence of chronic illnesses, mental anxiety, and physical injuries, particularly affecting elders or those with weaker constitutions. The strong Fire in 2026, combined with an Earth-generating-Metal pattern, may indirectly facilitate the spread of sick energy, making resolution especially important.

02 Quick Guide to Northwest Sector Layout: Do's and Don'ts
To weaken the Two Black sick energy, the layout should follow the principle of "draining Earth energy, suppressing sick energy, and fortifying positive energy."

• Three Do's:

  1. Keep Clean and Airy: Clear clutter and garbage promptly, maintain ventilation and brightness to allow positive energy flow.

  2. Use Metal to Drain Earth: Place metal auspicious items (e.g., copper gourd, copper Qilin) to consume the Earth-based sick energy via the Metal element.

  3. Prioritize Stillness over Activity: Avoid renovations, hammering, or placing vibrating items (e.g., treadmill) here to minimize disturbance of sick energy.

• 

• Three Don'ts:

  1. Avoid Earth Element Items: Refrain from placing ceramic, stone, potted plants, or other Earth-element objects to prevent strengthening sick energy.

  2. Avoid Darkness and Dampness: Keep the area dry and avoid excessive Water-element items (e.g., aquariums) to prevent cold dampness from fostering sick energy.

  3. Avoid Sharp Sha Qi: Keep away from knives, sharp metal racks, etc., to avoid disrupting the energy balance.

03 Recommended Specialized Remedies
A combined strategy of "neutralizing Sha Qi + guarding the home" is recommended for targeted resolution.

• Copper Gourd Jade Plate: Copper (Metal) drains the Two Black Earth energy, the gourd symbolizes containing sick energy, and the jade plate softens harsh energy. Can be hung at the Northwest entrance or inside a bedroom.

• Copper Qilin Ornament: As an auspicious guardian creature, it wards off evil and attracts good fortune, enhancing positive energy. Can be placed in a prominent spot in the Northwest living area, facing inward.

04 Supplementary Lifestyle Suggestions
Combine with good habits to consolidate the effects of the Feng Shui layout:

1. Clean the Northwest sector regularly, keep it dry, and occasionally use a warm light (Fire) to harmonize the energy.

2. Elderly family members should avoid long-term residence in the Northwest bedroom if possible.

3. After the 2026 Start of Spring (Lichun), consider arranging a family health check-up as proactive prevention.
