In Feng Shui, the House Period refers to the age of your home and determines its energy cycle based on the time it was built or last majorly renovated. It is a crucial factor for Flying Star Feng Shui and other Feng Shui analyses, as it influences the flow of Qi in the property.
Time in Feng Shui is divided into 9 periods of 20 years each, forming a full 180-year cycle. Each period is associated with a number from 1 to 9, which influences the home’s luck and energy patterns.
To determine your house period, you need to know the most recent major event that affects the property, such as:
| Period | Date Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Period 6 | 5 Feb 1964 – 3 Feb 1984 | - |
| Period 7 | 4 Feb 1984 – 3 Feb 2004 | - |
| Period 8 | 4 Feb 2004 – 3 Feb 2024 | Number 8 was very lucky during this period |
| Period 9 | 4 Feb 2024 – 3 Feb 2044 | Number 9 is auspicious; number 8 gradually becomes less favorable |
Note: Period 8 just ended on 4 Feb 2024. During Period 9, number 9 brings positive energy, while number 8 slowly turns less favorable, though the change is gradual.
