CENTER
Fire Star 9 brings prosperity, especially to old countries such as China, India, and Russia. The centers of these countries will enjoy increased tourism and opportunities from the West. Economic sectors related to Star 9 such as female-owned businesses, marketing, beauty, art, entertainment, and intuitive arts should do well in 2009. Fire Star 9 also brings higher
temperature and electrical storms that can cause blackouts and fire. Star 9 and Period 8 Star 8 show that long-term real estate investments and businesses related to obstetrics, children's education, transportation, communications, cosmetics, and aesthetic medicine enjoy improvement next year.

NORTH
The violating Star 5 comes to the north in 2009. This means northern regions such as Canada, Scandinavia or Lake Michigan may experience flood, contaminated water sources, oil spills, and continued rising gas prices. The double fire Star 9 can also mean fighting, burning, and high temperatures in the northern regions. On the positive side, double Star 9 also relates to famous actresses, spokeswomen, leaders, and businesswomen rising to power in the north. However, with the violating Star 5, these women do need to be careful of fraud. In Period 8, Star 4 is associated with the wind and flying
animals. With Star 5, this can bring bird flu or airborne viruses to northern regions.

SOUTH
Wood Star 4 in the south shows that female achievers, scholars and entertainers will receive accolades, be in the headlines, and make connections with influential people. Southern regions attain more economic and political power and will be supported by the countries of the southeast. Star 1 defeated by Star 8 brings polluted waters caused by landslide and flood. This can also bring disease and problems with dams, sewage lines, and flood control channels. Double Star 8 in Period 8 brings economic support, global attention, and renewed growth to Southern regions such as South
America, Australia, Louisiana, and Texas.

EAST
In eastern regions such as India, China, Japan, Taiwan, Tibet, and Russia, or along the eastern coast of the United States, the annual Star 7 brings a clash of ambitions, strikes, and social violence. There may also be potential fighting, riots, political/legal issues, air accidents, transportation accidents, and sex scandals in the headlines. There may be an increase in both military and entertainment power in the eastern regions. Stars 7 and 2 can bring fire, money loss due to greed, and a trend of highly-sexual Asian women in the entertainment industry.

SOUTHEAST
Earth Star 8 comes to the southeast bringing economic boom. Still, southeast regions need to be aware of paperwork issues that affect wealth related to real estate. Greed and high-risk investments will tend to disappoint, while more modest expectations will be met. Southeast regions such as Indonesia, Viet Nam, Singapore, and New Zealand will enjoy long-term rising real estate value. Star 6 defeats Star 3 indicating that western regions may strong-arm southeastern groups, large companies, and even government, to change their laws and give up natural resources. Still, this will bring economic benefits to southeast regions and these countries' leaders reach their goals and are rewarded.

NORTHWEST
Water Star 1 in combination with Stars 4 and 5 brings flooding, pollution and sex scandals to northwest regions such as Alaska, Seattle, Portland, and Vancouver. Stars 4 and 5 bring diseases related to airborne animals, such as the bird flu. Star 4 also relates to the liver, so be careful of toxins in vegetation and the hygiene of food. Star 4 with 5 also indicates storm disasters, high winds, tsunami, deforestation, and man-made disasters such as global warming and pollution. On the positive side, Star 1 foretells a spiritual new leader supported by many, but conflicting Stars 4 and 5 showsthat this leader could face many lawsuits, challenges, and mental anguish while fighting an upward battle. He needs to be aware of troublemakers, miscommunication, and misinterpretation by the media.

WEST
Star 2 comes to the west. Western countries such as the United States and their west coast regions may experience earthquake or fire and their inhabitants may suffer increased pollution, creating a higher risk of respiratory inflammation and skin cancer. However, female-owned businesses related to entertainment, wellness, health, spirituality, and relationships play a big part in refueling the western economy in 2009. Star 3 is defeated by metal Star 6, indicating conflicts between lawyers and politicians, as well as the judicial and executive branches of governments in the west.

SOUTHWEST
Metal Star 6 (associated with government leaders) in the southwest means that government will play a part in triggering economic growth and increased commerce. However, because Star 6 is untimely, wealth for leaders and bosses comes with complaints and dissatisfaction from staff. Southwest companies are likely to go on strike, complaining of wage cuts and overseas competition. Newly-established overseas companies in southwest regions, such as Los Angeles, may abuse labor laws and get into trouble with union codes. The increase of global companies and trade poses a serious challenge to the southwest economy. Star 8 and Star 1 bring wealth to internet businesses, delivery, exercise, wellness and entertainment industries. Real estate should stabilize as foreigners bring wealth to invest from abroad.

NORTHEAST
Star 3 in the northeast can bring an epidemic of pediatric digestive ailments from polluted or contaminated food. Because Star 3 relates to politicians and legal issues, children's education and health funds may suffer. Annual Stars 2 and 7 indicate potential fire hazards, explosions, fighting, rebellion, discrimination, theft, and lunatics. Mafia or terrorist groups can also be a formidable force of disruption in the northeast regions as well. Star 3 can also bring thunder, earthquake, avalanche, hurricanes, or tornadoes to northeast regions such as Russia, Beijing, Japan, Korea, Washington D.C., New York, Massachusetts, and New Jersey.
