July ushers in a chart full of promise, with 8 of the 9 sectors with auspicious energies. At the heart of the chart, the 6 Heaven Star takes center stage, radiating its celestial power throughout the entire space. This is a month when destiny takes its course – a time when luck, more than ever, determines outcomes. With the Heaven Star ruling the month, it becomes vital to court the support of higher powers and to get the heavens firmly on your side. Invite in Pu Hsien Pusa on her elephant, the Goddess of Mercy Kuan Yin, or any deity you feel a strong connection with. Place them respectfully in the center part of your home.
This month, four powerful energy pairings, known as Ho Tu formations, appear in the South, Southwest, East and North. These lucky combinations unlock special benefits:
-
The South brings the 1/6 Ho Tu – this benefits students and young people most.
-
The SW brings the 3/8 Ho Tu – this strengthens leadership luck.
-
The East brings the 4/9 Ho Tu – attracting career breakthroughs.
-
The North brings the 2/7 Ho Tu – bringing potential for big wealth.
The best way to activate the lucky energies of a sector is simply to spend time there. Fill the space with movement, conversation, light and life. Activity stirs the chi and gets the good fortune flowing. For an even more powerful boost, invite in the mythical Chi Lin, or Dragon Horse, a celestial creature said to awaken the magic of the Ho Tu. According to ancient legend, it was the Dragon Horse that revealed the secrets of the Ho Tu to the Yellow Emperor, unlocking wisdom that shaped the foundations of Feng Shui and Chinese metaphysics. Placing a Chi Lin in these sectors will help bring these powerful energies to life.
The only sector that calls for caution this month is the Southeast, which is visited by the Five Yellow misfortune star. This star brings obstacles, accidents and disruptions, so it’s best to avoid spending extended time in this area if you can. If your main door or a frequently used room falls in the Southeast, it’s especially important to place a Five Element Pagoda here to suppress its negative energies.

6th Month of the Yi Si Wood Snake Year
(7th July 2025 – 7th August 2025)
SOUTHEAST – Misfortune & Obstacles
The Five Yellow flies to the Southeast, making this the most dangerous sector this month. Mishaps, financial loss and health troubles surface more easily, so take the necessary steps to keep this area calm and well-protected. Avoid renovations, loud music or excessive activity, and display the 5 Element Pagoda with Fu Dogs to suppress its harmful energies. If your front door, bedroom or office is in the SE, extra precautions are essential; carry the 5 Element Pagoda Amulet. Don’t take unnecessary risks. Safeguard your finances with the Treasure Chests with Double Dragon.
SOUTH – Victory Luck & Intellectual Ho Tu
The South lights up with a powerful fusion of stars. The arrival of the Victory Star 1 supercharges this area with success potential and upward momentum. Even more exciting is its union with the Heaven Star 6, which forms the 1/6 Ho Tu. This Ho Tu enhances strategic thinking and boosts academic and intellectual potential. Whether studying, crafting complex plans or making key decisions daily, this is the sector to activate. Students, writers, lawyers, researchers and tech innovators will especially thrive spending time in this sector. Display a Chi Lin or the Ho Tu Enhancing Mirror here to fully tap the potential of this special combination. For exam luck, place the Bejewelled Luo Han here.
SOUTHWEST – Leadership Luck But Also Conflict Chi
The Southwest has the 3/8 Ho Tu, an alignment that awakens natural leadership and strengthens your ability to influence and to take decisive action. Forming in the SW, the sector of the Matriarch, this Ho Tu is especially empowering for women in positions of authority. Activate with the Ho Tu Enhancing Mirror. If your main door or bedroom is located here, carry the Ho Tu Enhancer Amulet. But note that the visiting Quarrelsome Star 3 brings increased risk of misunderstandings. To keep tempers in check, decorate this area with red decor – placing a red carpet or red cushions here is an excellent idea.
EAST – Study Luck & Commercial Ho Tu
The East benefits from the auspicious 4/9 Ho Tu, which ignites business savvy and visionary leadership. A good sector to activate if looking to grow your business, forge meaningful partnerships or bring fresh ideas to life. It’s especially beneficial for entrepreneurs, sales professionals, and those in the arts or innovation-driven fields. To harness the full potential of this Ho Tu, display the Ho Tu Enhancing Mirror and the Monkey God on Dragon in the East. The East also brings scholastic and romantic luck. If you’re looking to attract love, place the Nine-Tailed Fox on Rose Quartz Heart in the East. For students, the 7-Level Scholastic Pagoda placed here will help improve exam results.
CENTER – Heaven Luck & Divine Support
With the Heaven Star 6 flying into the center of the chart, its celestial energy radiates outward, offering golden opportunities to all. This is a month when luck can seem to land effortlessly, bringing unexpected breakthroughs, but only if you stay proactive and open to possibilities. To tap this divine support, carry the Heaven Seal Amulet. For financial breakthroughs, the Windfall Yantra Amulet helps unlock prosperity from hidden sources. If aiming to shine at work, wear the Ruyi Charm with Amazonite and Quartz. When Heaven Luck is strong, small actions can yield extraordinary results.
WEST – Wealth & Windfall Luck
The West sparkles with strong money luck, making it one of the most rewarding sectors to activate. If your main door or bedroom is located here, you’re in prime position to grow your finances and turn smart ideas into steady income. A good time to explore new revenue streams, make savvy investments or strengthen your long-term wealth foundation. To unlock this sector’s full potential, display the Peach Tree with Magic Monkey here. Remember that the Wealth Star 8 brings many blessings, but it can also weaken your health if not sufficiently activated. To keep your energy strong, place the Sky Deer here and wear or carry a health amulet.
NORTHEAST – New Opportunities
This month the Northeast welcomes in the 9 Star of Current Prosperity. As the ruling star of the current period, the 9 has the power to transform the energy of any sector it enters renewing it and dissolving hidden afflictions. So even though the annual Five Yellow resides here, the arrival of the 9 Star blots out its negativity, making this sector not only safe but highly auspicious. This is one of the most precious qualities of the 9 Star – it doesn’t just bring good fortune; it repairs the chi of troubled spaces. Display the Number 9 Wealth Vault here to anchor its prosperity energy. Get the “Winning Streak” Sure Win Coins to activate its hidden potential.
NORTH – Money Luck, But Risk of Illness
The 2/7 Great Wealth Ho Tu forms in the North this month, bringing powerful money luck. This is the best area to activate if you want to grow your income, attract smart investment returns or land a lucky windfall. Place the Ho Tu Enhancing Mirror here to unlock this wealth-bringing energy. But be careful – the visiting star is an Illness Star, so it is important to protect your health. Display the 5 Blessings Wu Lou to suppress illness chi and to keep your energy strong. If your home faces North or your bedroom is in this sector, carry the Wu Lou amulet for extra protection. Elderly and pregnant family members should avoid spending too much time here this month.
NORTHWEST – Completion Luck
The Northwest benefits from a Sum-of-Ten combination, formed by the monthly 7 and annual 3 stars. This brings powerful Completion Luck, helping you close deals, wrap up projects and see long-term plans through to success. Display the Completion Horse here to activate this lucky combination. But while this pairing improves the sector’s overall luck, the 7 is still a Loss Star, so it is important to stay cautious, especially when it comes to money matters. As the NW is the sector of the Patriarch, both good and bad luck here will impact the father or male head of the household most directly. To strengthen protection, display the Magic Peacock Plaque here, and if your main door or bedroom is located here, best to carry the Sum-of-Ten Amulet and Peacock Feather Amulet for added support.
