In December, I revealed to you the energies of the year 2026, the Year of the Fire Horse. I also wrote an article to give you the positioning of the flying stars for the year.
If you haven’t read these two articles, I encourage you to do so!
Today, I wanted to talk about 2026 but from yet another angle: this time by considering the location of your main front door. Indeed, the front door is considered the mouth of the house because this is where the most significant Chi enters. Depending on the star that comes to visit this year in the zone where your front door is located, the energies will be different and the trends of the year will be different as well.
Before getting into the heart of the topic, just one clarification: don’t confuse this with the Ba Zhai School of the Eight Mansions, which determines the House Gua based on the orientation of the seating. Here, we are talking about the placement of the front door in relation to the Bagua.
And one last clarification: in Feng Shui, the year will begin on February 4.
House with the Door in the Southeast Zone
This is great news for you if the front door of your house (or that of the building in which your apartment is located) is situated in the SE sector when you place the Bagua on your home plan.
2026 brings energies of abundance, wealth, luck, social relationships, and love.
For example, even if you already have a good job, this could be the right time to negotiate a raise (because Feng Shui isn’t magic — action is still required). The energy will also favor those who want to change careers to something more remunerative or more fulfilling.
It can also bring more inspiration to artists. If you are a creator, this is probably the moment to exhibit your work and show your portfolio… Your work is more likely to be recognized this year.
If you are looking for love, the energies will be with you: go out more, make yourself beautiful, sign up on Tinder. And if you already have a happy couple, the beautiful energies of 2026 will further improve your friendly, family, and professional relationships.
House with the Door in the East
The East is also a sector of wealth this year. So if your main front door is in the East zone, the mouth of your home will bring a Chi charged with energies of prosperity and luck.
As with the Southeast, this could translate to a salary increase (provided you ask for it — I repeat, Feng Shui is not magic, action is still necessary), a boost in your company’s revenue if the professional space’s entrance is in this zone, or better returns on investments.
But be careful: the chances of gains are better — that does not mean the risk is nil.
Your reasoning and your ability to think clearly must be as sharp as ever.
If you say to yourself: “Darn, I also want prosperity but my entrance isn’t in the East!” then I advise you to nourish that zone well and also awaken this star, which likes yang: moving water (aquarium, fountain), a clock, television…
House with the Door in the North
2026 brings recognition here. For example, maybe you’ve been an exemplary employee for several years, a hard worker who doesn’t count the hours. Well, this year is likely to see the reward for your efforts: your efforts will be recognized and rewarded.
Again, this doesn’t mean stopping your efforts and just waiting for it to happen — keep going, maintain your level of efficiency, and there are always margins for improvement.
The energies of 2026 in the North are also associated with professions in tourism, printing studies, and the military. So if you work in these fields, this energy will be even more powerful for you.
House with the Door in the Northwest
Here the energies are less pleasant. They are related to illness, which can, for everyone in the house, increase the risks of health problems. In general, it’s said that this zone should be avoided. If you only have one front door, you can’t bypass that (unless you enter through a window — but then you risk injury!).
Take good care of yourself this year: stay hydrated, take care of your diet and your sleep, exercise, okay? If you are already following a treatment, be very careful when taking your medication.
If your house has a nice porch outside, don’t skimp on beautiful plantings and flower pots so that vibrant Chi can accumulate there — this compensates for the less favorable energies.
I do have good news for those in real estate sales or rental investments though: these energies can benefit your business.
House with the Door in the South
Let’s continue with the unpleasant stars.
Yes, the South hosts the infamous 5 Yellow this year. It’s really not nice…
If you can use another door, do it. Otherwise, try to keep the calm in that sector (don’t slam the door — and if it squeaks, oil it).
The idea is to avoid activating these energies. A non-activated star doesn’t do harm.
It reminds me of cartoons where Sylvester the Cat tiptoes past a big dog on his toes… That’s exactly the idea! So avoid noise. If in your entrance you have grandma’s cuckoo clock chiming every quarter hour, you might need to find it a new home this year!
House with the Door in the Southwest
2026 brings energies related to violence but also communication. This can really create situations where you get so angry that you refuse to speak for weeks…
It can also bring more health problems, so the advice is the same as for the Northwest zone: take great care of yourself! And if you feel any symptoms at all, go see your doctor.
Also, in this zone, 2026 could bring increased risk of thefts and burglaries. Pay attention to your belongings! Don’t leave them unattended, and lock your door well. If you were hesitating about installing an alarm system at home… this is the right year to take the plunge.
House with the Door in the West
If your door is in the West, then your home in 2026 welcomes energies of arguments… You can try to protect yourself by avoiding unnecessary drama: let things go, don’t get into useless debates, or you might fall out with friends, colleagues, or your partner!
So as with all unpleasant energies, try to avoid making noise in the zone so as not to activate them.
House with the Door in the Northeast
Here, the energies are much nicer. They are particularly conducive to learning — for students, learners, and people retraining in a new profession.
They are also favorable to those who work in academic fields, whether as teachers or researchers. And even to all authors and writers.
To conclude, I just wanted to remind you that the annual star found in the zone of the front door is just one axis of the type of Chi bathing your house. There are many more parameters to take into account, so don’t move house just because your door faces South, okay?
