The field runs S–N (177°). The year of the Fire Horse (丙午), 4 February 2026 – 3 February 2027.
- South end (177°): 5 Yellow — misfortune · Grand Duke (Tai Sui)
- North end (357°): 6 White — authority and help from above · Year Breaker (Sui Po) · Three Killings (San Sha)

- East side (87°): 8 White
Grand Duke (Tai Sui): south (172.5°–187.5°) · Year Breaker (Sui Po): north (352.5°–7.5°) · Three Killings (San Sha): north (322.5°–37.5°)
What this is
Feng shui counts the year from Lichun, the start of spring, about the 4th of February, and its months from the solar terms — not from Chinese New Year. The Grand Duke (Tai Sui) holds the sector of the year's animal: a side sitting with him behind it is said to be supported, a side facing him to be confronting him. The Year Breaker is the sector opposite, and the Three Killings a quarter of the compass that may be faced but never sat on.
Of the nine Flying Stars, the 8 White and the 9 Purple bring prosperity, the 1 White and the 6 White help, the 4 Green favours study and romance; the 5 Yellow and the 2 Black are left undisturbed, the 3 Jade brings quarrels and the 7 Red injuries. The year's star stands in each palace all year; the month's joins it at each solar term.
A side defends an end and attacks toward the other, and the sides change ends at the half (each quarter in American football): this is the ground's year, not a side's fortune — a caution on the read, not a testimony for either side.
