Ive been studying Feng Shui books
for awhile now, and have figured out the directions, etc, for my apartment, BUT
when I look at examples of how to layout the Flying Star grid there is an
inconsistency: some indicate the Flying Star energies affect the entire
quadrant while others extend or contract the quadrant according to room layout.
So, for example, in my apartment below, does the North direction and Flying
Star 6/6/2 cover the whole of the northern quadrant and therefore include
sections of my bathroom, master bedroom and my guest bedroom OR is it confined
to the bathroom, with the NW 1/2/7 extending throughout the guest bedroom and
the NE 8/4/9 extending throughout the whole of the master bedroom? Does the
2/1/6 of my central quadrant cover the area I use for my office, or is it
confined to the hallway, with the eastern 4/8/4 extending into my office
area?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

1. In my opinion, many professional Feng Shui practitioners use the PIE chart method given the elongated layout plan such as yours.

2. Thus, try to plot a pie chart: as in an elongated layout plan, you cannot have a "perfect" 9 grid all round: The advantage of the pie chart is that it can "stretch" to fit narrow areas and pay attention to areas of openings e.g. windows vs a blank wall.

3. Areas with openings where a sector is closest to would have the higher sector influence vs a sector that is stuck against a wall or corner.

1. Please see this sample illustration of an "elongated home".

2. Do ignore the individual "markings" e.g. Pers 1, Pers 2, Pers 2 dad etc...

3. In this example, it is much easier to see more clearly information like distinctively the Staircase, Master bedroom master toilet etc....

Further to what I had mentioned, a pie chart is much easier a tool to "define" where a room or place is located.

For example in the same attachment, the location of the Master Bedroom, the Master Toilet, the Staircase area, the Dad's bedroom, Dad's bathroom can be clearly be defined from the pie chart.

Only two sectors: East = Study and West = Family area is less hazy and can fall into another sector.
