Yi represents Yin Wood, the softer, more flexible form of wood—think of vines, ivy, bushes, or even crafted wooden décor, rather than tall, sturdy trees. The softness and resilience of Yin Wood symbolize continuous growth. These vines and shrubs intertwine—complicated, vibrant, and full of life. The Snake, associated with Yin Fire, is agile and swift. As it sheds its old skin to grow, it represents renewal through quiet endurance. Together, these qualities create an energy that is both graceful and powerful.

​

Together, they reveal a dominance of Yin energy—quiet yet potent. In this interaction, Wood feeds Fire, and the result is a quick, dynamic flame that symbolizes rapid change, transformation, the rise of female leaders, and even conflict or disruption. This kind of Fire moves swiftly and unpredictably, often marking periods of intense shifts and awakening.

​

While each direction—north, northeast, east, southeast, southwest, west, and northwest—has its own visiting energy stars, this page focuses on the South, which naturally carries Fire energy in the original Flying Star pattern. In 2025, the #6 White Metal Star flies into the South. This star governs promotion, leadership, and career breakthroughs, and is especially favorable for non-traditional professions and entrepreneurial paths. When Fire and Metal meet here, it creates a unique tension that, when harnessed properly, can spark bold advancement and powerful transformation.

​When we look at how the Five Elements interact, we learn that Earth supports and strengthens Metal. So, if you want to boost the Metal energy in a space, you can add more earth elements like stone, clay, or earth-tone colors. Avoid using candles or incense here, since Fire weakens Metal. Another easy way to activate this area is simply by spending more time in it—your presence helps keep the energy flowing.

​

It can feel a bit confusing—we talk about the power of Fire energy and even recommend candles and incense in some areas, but in others, we suggest avoiding them. Why?

​

In Flying Star Feng Shui, the dominant influence is the energy (or element) currently flying into a space, not just the direction’s original or traditional element.

​

So even if a room is in the South (traditionally a Fire direction), if a Metal star is flying into that space this year, you’ll want to support Metal—not Fire. That’s why candles or incense (Fire) could actually weaken the energy in that case.

​

The key is to adjust based on the star that occupies the space at the time, not just its permanent nature. This helps you stay in harmony with the shifting energies and make smarter, more effective adjustments.
