The San Sha (三煞, Three Killings) for 2028 occupies the South sector. The Monkey year’s trinity places its San Sha in the opposite trinity direction. No renovation, no breaking ground, no major construction in the South throughout 2028.
About San Sha (三煞) in 2028
The San Sha (三煞, “Three Killings”) is one of the four classical annual sha, governed by a trinity-of-three system. Each of the twelve earthly branches belongs to one of four trinities (water, fire, metal, wood); the year’s San Sha lands in the trinity opposite the year’s branch.
For 2028 (Monkey branch), the San Sha lands in the trinity covering 巳午未 — the South direction.
Classical rules: no renovation, no digging, no breaking ground, no major construction in the South sector throughout 2028. The San Sha is provoked by physical disturbance (similar to the 5 Yellow), and the “triple loss” classical attribution involves three separate kinds of misfortune layering simultaneously.
Practical priorities for 2028

Frequently asked questions
What is the San Sha?
One of the four classical annual sha, governed by a trinity-of-three system. The year branch belongs to one of four trinities; the San Sha lands in the trinity opposite the year branch.
Why is renovation in San Sha emphasised?
The San Sha is most-tied to physical disturbance among the annual sha. Classical attribution “Three Killings” refers to layered loss patterns; renovation in the San Sha direction is read as “triggering the three” simultaneously.
