Dear Sir,

Which yields better results? 8 mansions or flying stars?

Kevin

These are some of the considerations:-

1. In my opinion, it is "strange" for you to ask this question. This is because Traditional Feng Shui is a combination of:-

1.1. Shapes and Forms Feng Shui and
1.2. The Compass School of Feng Shui

2. Why "strange?"

2.1. It is strange becauseboth 8 Mansions (4 Good/Bad directions) or 8 Directions and Flying Star belong to the Compass School of Feng Shui.

2.2. The question, here is: if both BELONG to the Compass School of Feng Shui; then what you mentioned "Which yields better results? 8 mansions or flying stars?" in my opinion, makes no sense at all?

2.3. Like "Kung Fu"; both the 8 Mansions and Flying Star is like they were developed by the same School. And how can the same School not harmonise the two? Both need to use the compass.

2.4. Another major clue is: 8 Mansions is about the INDIVIDUAL. While Flying Star is about the birth chart of the HOUSE or HOME or OFFICE.

3. I strongly suggest that you go thru some of these links:-

Eight House or Flying Star

4. These are some other resources:-

Trial & Error Vs Flying Star

Thanks Cecil..

Acknowledged that both were derived from the compass school.

But have you come across cases whereby a particular sector of the 8 mansions which denotes or represents "sheng qi" but flying stars has a 2-5 combination?

Any advice Master?

Cecil,

Think I have the answers from your previous links..Answer is pretty obvious when you said that 8 mansions is just "like a baby" :-)..

1. You might want to read up more on the concept of The Five Elements Concept.

2. And how Flying Star sectors and #number(s) can be categoried under weak or strong in the Five Elements concept.

3. While 8 mansions can't do so. While Ba Zi can also be categorised under the Five Elements concept.

4. Once the lowest common denominator = The Five Elements concept; this is the basis for either a cure or an enhancement.

Thanks Cecil..

Back to basics...:-) 5 elements.....cure and/or enhancer.

Actually the complex world of Feng Shui can be made easy once experienced practitioners like Cecil gives pointers.

Although I wrote this in 2011, it is equally relevant today.

Focus: Eight House or Eight Mansions and Flying Stars share the same lineage to Compass School of Feng Shui.

As both need to use a Compass or Luopan
