In Saam Law Tao, the flying star pattern represents the main energy flow that shapes the year’s overall luck. It’s like reading the pulse of Heaven and Earth combined. When we connect it with the Qimen’s Eight Doors, the star properties reveal how this energy moves through our spiritual and physical systems. This combination becomes the “spiritual weather forecast” of the year—letting us see the winds of fortune before they arrive. Knowing this allows us to plan our year wisely, make the right moves at the right time, and understand when to stay still or when to act.
The center of the year is governed by Star 1, a bright and positive energy of completion, clarity, and giving. It’s like a beacon of light guiding us to see opportunities we might have missed before. However, it’s not a year to chase or to rush. The wise move is to observe, to stay still, and to let things unfold. Avoid major decisions, big new projects, or drastic changes.
Think of it as window shopping for your future—looking, learning, and letting your heart sense what feels right, but not buying yet. If you run a business, focus on promotion, exposure, and being visible. The attention you gather this year will naturally attract opportunities. For those who work under others, this is the year to let your efforts be seen. Make yourself noticeable in a positive way. The more your presence shines, the more your higher-ups will want to keep you close.
Star 2 affects our Yuen Sun (the spiritual planetary body), and it’s not in a very strong state this year. The energy is hungry and empty—it’s a “give back” year. This means we must feed our Yuen Sun through spiritual work, offerings, and good deeds, instead of asking for more from it.
In practical life, this shows up as demanding bosses or higher-ups who are also “hungry.” Don’t expect generosity or big rewards. Promotions, bonuses, or recognition might not come easily. Yet, this same energy creates more openings for new job seekers or people looking for a fresh start. When the system is hungry, it’s also seeking new inputs—so for those who wish to change direction or get hired elsewhere, this is a window of opportunity.
Our ghost altar represents the mind and subconscious—the base of our mental powers. With Star 6 here, the focus shifts to self-awareness and using what we already have. This energy encourages reflection, inventory, and smart use of your existing tools and skills.
Instead of seeking new things or chasing external validation, look inward. What have you built? What resources are already in your hands? Use them wisely. In workplaces, there may be a rise in comparisons and judgements. Some might even face layoffs or negative criticism from insecure superiors. Don’t internalize it—it’s not your fault. Their instability reflects their own mental imbalance. Stay steady, focus on your craft, and you’ll come out stronger.
Star 4 brings in a wave of thoughts, ideas, and inspirations—but also a potential storm of overthinking. The mind may feel busier, more active, and harder to quiet. Those who already struggle with self-doubt or anxiety might feel their inner voices become louder.
For creative individuals, this can be a year of breakthroughs—but it also comes with internal conflict, as multiple ideas and directions compete for your attention. Be aware of this mental “noise.” Don’t let self-judgment or perfectionism steal your energy. Practice grounding and quieting the heart before you act on new ideas.
Star 8 directs the thinking process toward the physical and material side of life. People may find themselves more focused on money, possessions, status, or physical comfort. There’s nothing wrong with being realistic—but beware of falling into material obsession.
Those in relationships might finally see their partner’s true colors if the connection was based on superficial or material motives. Let this year reveal truth—it’s better to see clearly now than later. On a positive note, this star also favors practical projects like home improvement, organizing, or building things that bring stability. Focus your thoughts on what you can touch, build, and maintain.
Star 9 ignites internal fire—it brings energy, passion, and a sense of urgency. People might feel impatient, wanting instant results without giving time for things to grow. This fiery push can lead to burnout, temper issues, or clashes between leaders and followers.
If you’re in charge, slow yourself down. Don’t let the fire consume your patience. Carry or wear something cooling—such as jade—to help balance this excess fire chi. Remember, true success takes time to ripen. Overdriving your system will only exhaust your positive soul chi, which can lead to sickness or emotional fatigue. Slow fire burns longer.
Star 5 sits at the gate of expression—where thoughts turn into action or words. This star brings hesitation and internal judgement before speaking. It can feel like something holds your tongue or makes you rethink everything you want to say.
While this may be frustrating, it’s also a lesson in self-control. It helps you refine your speech and prevent careless words from creating problems. The danger lies in fake confidence—people who talk big or act overly certain without real skill will be exposed this year. Don’t be fooled by loud voices or empty promises. Let actions speak more than words.
Star 7 influences the body’s action level—it’s fast, fiery, and impulsive. This can drive productivity but also rashness. People may act too quickly, overspend, or lash out before thinking. Relationships can heat up too fast, leading to arguments or emotional “burns.”
Try not to vent through spending or words. Pause before reacting. If you can tame this star’s heat, it will fuel strong output and creativity. But if left unchecked, it becomes destructive, especially in love, finances, and health.
Finally, Star 3 governs the act of returning fruits—sending energy back to Heaven. This is a wonderful sign. It means the things you do this year will be seen by your Yuen Sun and higher powers. Your “reports” will be well-received.
For those who’ve struggled with sleeplessness or unsettled minds, this star helps clear the path, allowing energy to flow back up to preheaven. In work and communication, it supports you in expressing your ideas upward—whether to your boss, mentors, or the divine. This is a year when your voice can reach higher places.
So, act with sincerity, cultivate with heart, and let your fruits be sent back with gratitude. The wind is behind you, pushing your effort toward the light.
