Place the Chung Kwei Subduing 5-Yellow metal plaque correctly in Period 9. Follow these steps to find the 5 Yellow, position the cure, and keep it effective.
Quick answer
Place the Chung Kwei Subduing 5-Yellow plaque in the sector where the 5 Yellow flying star lands for the current year or period, ideally on a sturdy surface at chest height or above, and keep that area quiet, clean, and free of clutter. Use the steps below to locate the star, position the cure, and maintain it through Period 9.
Why the 5 Yellow needs a metal cure in Period 9
In Period 9 (2024–2043), the 5 Yellow star is considered a source of misfortune and obstacles. Its earth element is weakened by metal, which is why metal objects like the Chung Kwei Subduing 5-Yellow plaque are traditionally used. The plaque’s metal body and mantra-enhanced design make it a practical choice for this purpose.
Unlike generic metal items, this plaque depicts Chung Kwei, a figure associated with subduing negative energies. That combination of metal element and symbolic protection is why it is specifically marketed for 5 Yellow issues.
When to use a different remedy
If the 5 Yellow sector is a high-traffic area like a main entrance or living room, a small plaque may not be enough. In such cases, consider adding more metal elements (like a metal wind chime) or consulting a feng shui professional. Also, if you need a cure for a different flying star (e.g., 2 Illness or 7 Robbery), this plaque is not designed for that purpose.
How to place the Chung Kwei Subduing 5-Yellow plaque
- Locate the 5 Yellow sector: Use a flying star chart for the current year (2026) or your home’s period chart to identify the sector where the 5 Yellow star resides. In Period 9, the annual 5 Yellow moves each year, so check a reliable source. Common mistake: relying on last year’s chart or a generic compass direction without verifying the annual star.
- Choose a stable, elevated spot: Place the plaque on a sturdy shelf, table, or mantel within that sector, at chest height or higher. Avoid the floor or low stools. Checkpoint: The plaque should be secure and not easily knocked over.
- Face the plaque toward the open space: Position the front of the plaque (with Chung Kwei’s image) facing into the room or the area you want to protect, not against a wall. Common mistake: facing the plaque toward a wall, which is believed to block its effectiveness.
- Keep the area clean and quiet: Remove clutter, avoid placing the plaque near noisy appliances or heavy traffic paths. A quiet corner is ideal. Checkpoint: The sector should feel calm and uncluttered.
- Avoid placing it in bedrooms or bathrooms: If the 5 Yellow falls in a bedroom or bathroom, do not place the plaque directly in these rooms. Instead, place it just outside the door or consult a feng shui expert for alternatives. Common mistake: putting the cure in a bathroom, which is considered disrespectful and may weaken its effect.
- Refresh the cure annually: Since the annual 5 Yellow moves each year, relocate the plaque to the new sector at the start of the Chinese New Year or whenever you update your chart. Checkpoint: Set a reminder to review the flying star chart each year.
