The 3 Killings (San Sha) direction and remedy for 2023 year of Rabbit
/2023 Rabbit Year - the 3 Killings (San Sha) affliction direction and remedy
The San Sha, often translated into “the 3 Killings”, is a powerful Feng Shui affliction similar to Tai Sui (The yearly god) and Sui Po (The year breaker). Their locations change every year and can affect houses of different directions and different people.
Even though the three killings are not as powerful as the Tai Sui (yearly god, or Grand Duke Jupiter), it covers a wider area and could impact more people.
2023 Rabbit year location for San Sha (Three Killings) is West
The 2023 3-Killings location is West. It overlaps the location of Sui Po (the Year Breaker) in 2023 but covers a bigger area.
The zodiac signs of Monkey, Rooster, and Dog are affected because they are located close to the west direction.
How to find out the 3 Killings directions by the yearly animal sign?
It is easy to find out the location of the 3 Killings each year by the Chinese zodiac sign of the year. The 12 animal signs are divided into 4 groups. Each group includes 3 zodiac signs. They are friends or allies that support each other. We often call these Trinity signs.
Each group belongs to one of the five elements and belongs to one of the 4 cardinal directions. The Earth element is related to the center, so it is not in this chart.
Now we know the animal signs and belonging directions. The San Sha (3 Killings) is located in the opposite direction.
For example, 2023 is the year of Rabbit, and Rabbit belongs to the Wood element and East direction. So the three killings are located in the West (opposite of the East).
In 2024, the zodiac sign is the dragon, and the dragon belongs to the North. So the 3 Killings are located in the South.
In 2025, the zodiac sign is the Snake, and the 3 Killing will be in the East.

The meaning of San Sha or the 3-Killings
The 3 Killings means 3 types of afflictions, or multiple setbacks and issues. It can be roughly categorized into 3 areas:
Financial setbacks, maybe from wrong investment, trouble making a good income, or unexpected extra spending.
Health issues, including illness or accident. It could happen to close family members.
Career obstacles and decreased reputation. It could be from negative friends backstabbing, or just being unable to express your full potential.
These can be frustrating and stressful. The environment is not supporting your effort at this time, so you have to work extra hard but do not see the expected result. It might be just minor issues but still, it makes life more challenging.
Who is affected by the power of the 3 Killings?

If you use the West sector of your house a lot or have your bedroom in the West, you can be easily affected by the 3-Killings in 2023.
As for the Chinese zodiacs, the animal signs of Monkey, Rooster, and Dog are affected by San Sha in the year 2023.
The three killings Feng Shui remedy
Avoid construction, renovation, or loud noise in the San Sha location (West in 2023).
There are 3 main locations we should avoid construction in the 2023 year of the Rabbit. That includes East (location of Tai Shui and number 2 illness star), West (location of Sui Po and the 3-Killings), and Northwest (location of the 5 Yellow misfortune star).
Avoid construction in these directions in 2023 to avoid disturbing the powerful energy of negative stars.
2. Avoid sitting down long-term with the 3-Killings behind you. Avoid facing East in 2023.
In 2023, try to arrange furniture so when you sit down on a sofa or chair, you are not directly facing East. Since Tai Sui is in the East in 2023, this is important to avoid confronting Tai Sui the yearly god.
3. Set up Feng Shui cures
The most popular Feng Shui cure for the 3-Killings is the 3 celestial guardians of Qi Lin, Pi Xiu, and Fu Dog. The 3 divine animals together can protect your house and bring financial luck, career luck, and family happiness. This is a simple way to counter the energy of the 3-Killings.
Another simple remedy is to set up a Salt Water Cure. Place natural salt in a jar with an open-top, and hide it somewhere in the West. When the salt absorbs the moisture in the air, it also absorbs and purifies the energy. The Salt Water Cure can be used in all spaces with negative stars.
