FAQ: from using FengSync to lucky colours

Your profile holds your birth year, month and day plus your gender, so FengSync can work out your Kua number, day-master element, lucky directions, colours and numbers on your device. It is fine if you do not know your birth time. The details stay in your browser.

My Day gathers the daily fortune slip, today’s colours, lucky numbers and directions, plus a short almanac snapshot, on one page. It follows the Hong Kong calendar and changes at midnight. Make a profile first, and the tips are worked out from your details.

Tai Sui (太歲), the traditional guardian spirit of the year, pairs with the twelve branches in turn, and 2027 belongs to the Goat branch (未). Traditional calendars use the link between your sign and Tai Sui to describe the rhythm of the year. It is a cultural idea, not a prediction of luck.

People born in the Year of the Goat share Tai Sui’s sign this year (值太歲), and Rat people have a ‘harm’ link with Tai Sui (害太歲) — traditionally a sign of small misunderstandings.

Ox people clash with Tai Sui (沖太歲) and also have a ‘punishment’ link with Tai Sui (刑太歲) — traditionally a sign of friction. Dog people have a ‘break’ link with Tai Sui (破太歲) — traditionally a sign of changing plans, and have a ‘punishment’ link with Tai Sui (刑太歲) — traditionally a sign of friction. On the steadier side, Horse people are in Six Harmony (六合) with Tai Sui, and Rabbit and Pig people are in Three Harmony (三合).

Sharing Tai Sui’s sign this year (值太歲) is what tradition calls your own zodiac year (本命年). It is read as a year with more changes than usual, so steady, early plans serve you well. The Goat page has the full year of tips for you.

Ox people clash with Tai Sui (沖太歲) in 2027 and also have a ‘punishment’ link with Tai Sui (刑太歲) — traditionally a sign of friction. Tradition reads this as a year when plans move about, so give big changes such as moving house or switching jobs a little more preparation. Everyday routines can carry on as usual.

In 2027 Tai Sui sits in the southwest, with Sui Po (歲破), the position opposite Tai Sui, in the northeast, and the Three Killings (三煞), a traditionally watched group of sectors, in the west. Tradition keeps these sectors free of ground-breaking and major renovation for the year; tidy and calm is enough.

Customs include worshipping Tai Sui (拜太歲) at a temple early in the year and closing with thanks (謝太歲) at the year’s end; some temples also keep a year-long rite, and practices differ from place to place. The heart of it is respect and peace of mind. A steady daily rhythm is a fine way to look after yourself.

Flying stars divide a home into nine sectors; nine stars visit a different sector each year, each with its own traditional meaning. In 2027 the centre holds 9 Purple. The chart reads nicely alongside the favourable directions of your own Kua number.

9 Purple sits at the centre in 2027, with 1 White in the northwest, 2 Black in the west, 3 Jade in the northeast, 4 Green in the south, 5 Yellow in the north, 6 White in the southwest, 7 Red in the east and 8 White in the southeast. The chart on this site steps through each solar-term month.

5 Yellow sits in the north in 2027. Tradition keeps that sector quiet and tidy for the year, with no ground-breaking or hammering there. You can come and go as normal; there is no need to worry.

By tradition, 8 White in the southeast is linked with steadiness and comfort, 1 White in the northwest with fresh starts, and 9 Purple at the centre with brightness and happy occasions. Keeping these sectors clean and airy is the simple traditional practice.

The yearly chart holds for the whole year, while a monthly chart layers on top and changes with the solar-term months. The chart on this site has month buttons, so you can see each month’s layout.

First, keep the north, where 5 Yellow sits, quiet and free of clutter. Second, let the west, with 2 Black, stay calm with soft light. Third, a warm lamp at the centre echoes the brightness of 9 Purple.

Live with comfort first; the traditional meanings are background reading.

A Kua number is the trigram matched to your birth year and gender, placing you in the East Four or West Four group. Each Kua number has four favourable directions and four that ask for care. The site works yours out, and every Kua number has its own page.

It comes from your birth year, counted from the exact moment of Lichun (立春), the start of the solar year, together with your gender, through the traditional formula. You need not remember the formula: make your profile and the site lists your Kua number and favourable directions at once.

Tradition reads five as 2 (Kun) for men and 8 (Gen) for women, and the site follows that rule automatically. You can read the direction tables on the Kua 2 or Kua 8 pages.

The East Four group holds Kan 1, Zhen 3, Xun 4 and Li 9; the West Four group holds Kun 2, Qian 6, Dui 7 and Gen 8. Tradition says directions within your own group work well together, so knowing your group comes first.

They are Sheng Qi (生氣), symbolising growth and vitality; Tian Yi (天醫), rest and balance; Yan Nian (延年), connection and continuity; and Fu Wei (伏位), focus and steadiness. Facing your desk towards Sheng Qi for work, or the bed head towards Tian Yi or Yan Nian for rest, are the classic uses.

The desk and bed checker lets you pick a direction or type degrees, then shows suggestions based on your Kua number. Tradition faces the desk towards a favourable direction for work and the bed head likewise for rest. Make your profile first, and the tool uses your Kua number.

The Tung Shing (通勝) is the traditional almanac, listing each day’s suitable and avoid lists, clash and caution directions, lucky hours and solar terms. The daily almanac on this site presents the same material in plain words, by Hong Kong date.

Yi (宜) lists what the day suits, and ji (忌) what it asks you to avoid; the lists change every day with the day pillar. Both belong to calendar culture, so read them as background.

Open the daily almanac and pick a date to see the lunar date, the suitable and avoid lists, the day’s clash and caution direction, and any solar term. A month grid beside it picks days at a tap. To find a day that suits a task, browse day by day and compare.

The clash names the sign opposite the day’s branch; on a day that clashes with the Goat, tradition suggests Goat people keep things low-key. The caution direction names a sector to be mindful of. Both are gentle reminders, not forecasts.

Traditional date selection weighs the day’s suitable and avoid lists, its clash, and how they match your sign. The almanac on this site shows all three for every day. For big plans, talk things through with family and let real circumstances lead the way.

The data runs from 1 October 2026 to 29 February 2028, on Hong Kong time. Days beyond that range are not available yet.

The five elements sort things into wood, fire, earth, metal and water, joined by two one-way relations. In the producing cycle, Wood feeds Fire (木生火) and Fire feeds Earth (火生土); in the restraint cycle, Wood restrains Earth (木剋土). Calendars and feng shui both use the elements to describe the character of each year.

Make your profile and the site reads the heavenly stem of your birth day to name your day-master element, with its colours, directions and numbers. The day-master element is the one that stands for you in the four pillars.

The traditional pairs are green and teal for wood, red and purple for fire, beige and ochre for earth, gold and white for metal, and blue and black for water. Clothes and small things can follow your element, enjoyed for their symbolism.

Water pairs with 1 and 6, fire with 2 and 7, wood with 3 and 8, metal with 4 and 9, and earth with 5 and 0. My Day combines your own day-master element with the day’s element to choose an element, then shows its paired numbers.

The lucky colour can change as My Day combines your own day-master element with the day’s element. Your own day-master element stays the same. The lucky direction is chosen from your personal favourable directions using the monthly flying-star chart, so it can change when the solar month changes.

The site follows a folk custom of counting the elements in the pillars your birth details show and topping up the scarcest one, then pairs a crystal of that element and lets you pick by your wish. A bracelet is a traditional symbol and a quiet reminder to yourself; comfort and a style you like come first.
