Dear Danny, 1. The key to applying Flying star Feng Shui is to see where is the "mouth" of the house. Or the location where there is e.g. most light coming into the home. Or if one has a habit of often opening the main door, sometimes, this can be the facing direction, also. For example, SW1 under period 8 enjoys very good sum-of-ten Flying star feng shui etc... As usual, you must find out or learn more about this theory to benefit when you do up your home. Or do consult a fs practitioner on this matter. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jarno, There are two concepts here which you need to get it clear:- 1. Eight House In terms of concepts, the best concept to apply in a micro environment (ie selection of suitable bedroom), we find that the Eight House concept where 4 good and 4 bad directions are used. This is a concept based on YEAR of birth. Even though, this is so, this is a simple yet effective method. But this will give a slight conflict to the Ba Zi in some cases. 2. Ba Zi Ba Zi uses the day, month, year of birth and even hour of birth, so is able to give you a better analysis. However, it also has its limitation in terms of direction. The direction factor in the ba zi is better used in …

Dear CJ, Again, here you still do not understand how Flying Star analysis works. 1. A house will have a flying star based on the year it was built. Meaning if it is built anytime before 1984-2003, this will make it a period 7 house, with a 20-year chart showing period 7 star as the base star. This will not change unless you effect a change to next period 8. 2. Such a period 7 chart will have different luck when you are in period 7 itself, and a slightly different chart when you view it in period 8. This is due to the fading prosperity effect. Meaning that if you viewed the report in 2000, the stars number 7 will be automatically auspicious, this is because of the spec…

Dear Anon, After taking a second look at your sketch, althought the sketch is not to scale, but based on your sketch, the stove seems to be close to or at the centrepoint of the home. Based on one criteria of Shapes and Forms Feng shui, where possible, a fire position should not occupy the centrepoint of the home. Should the cross lines of your compass marking (thru scale) does not cut into the centrepoint = stove then, it is ok. This is especially true especially where a toilet bowl should where where possible not be at the centrepoint, also. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Ovidiu, Holistic Feng Shui takes into account many various factors which also includes the external environment. Primarily, a Feng Shui practitioner should use various tools or techniques to access the home. For example, often, most of us think that the most critical factor is the interior 4 walls of the home-itself. But a proper Feng Shui audit would include:- External environment assessment using Shapes and Forms Feng Shui: The landscape and the site The site and the building or home Here, both Shapes and Forms and Compass Schools: Eight House and Flying star is used. Thus, it would generally be naive for us to come to a complete conclusion after only using …

Dear Mitesh, Candles has been used in-the-past basically because there were simply no electricity i.e. no harm. The only caution is to stay clear of moving wind or curtains or anything close-by that can be inflammable. As candles give off heat, it is also about circulation of heat and air. Frankly a proper ventilated room can do as well (without) candles. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear ashwini, For the installation of chiming clocks, it is best to use it at locations that has a cluster of bad Flying star numbers. For example, it can be used independently if one sector has either one #5 or #5 combined with other bad stars like #2, or #3 or #4. For the centre of the home where the three doors are aligned. There is no issue with a wind chime there. But in my opinion, it is more "cosmetic" than effective. But if it does help to "calm the nerves" by all means. Since many of our uncomfort is due to "worring too much". Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear CJ See & all other paid flying star users, I am using this posting to explain to all users who seems to have this confusion about the flying star. 1. Everyone should remember, that the flying star analysis from our website, gives you the analysis of the period based on the year the building was built. ie. If a house is built in period 7 (1984-2003), it means that it should show you a chart that is based on a period 7 20-year house chart. ie. If a house is built in period 6 (1964-1983), it means that it should show you a chart that is based on a period 6 20-year house chart. 2. What it DOES NOT do is to automatically show you the next period influence (ie now…

Dear Ulla, 1. In all honesty, the various practitioners or masters who utilize time zone or location factors to modify the original ba zi are relatively recent developments advocated by modern practitioners. 2. Perhaps the only method that could be somewhat logical is applying the location factor to adjust the location to the current moon location. However, even this approach presents numerous challenges. For instance, a slight deviation of 0.01 degree in latitude or longitude can significantly alter your ba zi chart, resulting in less accuracy compared to not considering the hour of birth. Additionally, most individuals do not possess the exact information. …

Dear Russ, 1. The start of the Chinese Lunar New Year for 1972 is 15 Feb 1972. 2. Since your birth date falls before the Chinese Lunar New Year on 22 Jan 1972, your lunar birth date should be:- a.. Solar Calendar: 22 Jan 1972 between b.. Lunar Calendar: 1971, 12th month, 7 day, between 3. Since your Year of birth for the Eight House calculation is 1971, it will be as our website calculator has generated Gua 2. 5. Since our online calculators has been extensively tested, it is very rare that it will be calculated wrongly. So the results from our website on this issue is correct. Hope that helps.
