Dear Sir
what I found that most of us get confused with the exact difference in analysing with the help of Eight House theory and flying Stars.Suppose One being a eastern group person sees a house having very good stars of 7 and 8 both water and mountain stars in his Bed room which is completely negative sector as per eight house theory,then what should he do.Should he choose as per the flying stars having no adverse bad stars or stick with eight house theory and leave those locations.Please suggest.

Dear Manoj,
I would strongly recommend a Three-step approach in understanding not just e.g. the Eight House Theory; the Flying Star Theory but any other concepts or theories.
As an example of the Three-step approach we first find out what the Flying Star Theory is:
1. The purpose of the Flying Star chart is plot out the `Birth Chart' of a house. Here, we must know when the house was `born'.
1.1 We should also find out it's strength and weakness.
1.2 For example, one of it's strength is that not only it can plot out the birth chart of a house, it can help to diagnose and neutralise the house or problems associated with the house. As the common denominator is based on the Five elements concept.
Perhaps, you can do some homework and find out what it's weakness is.
2. What about the purpose (aim) of the Eight House Theory? In general it is to find out how suitable the house is to the breadwinner. And it's strength is to see which sectors are good sectors for someone to SPENT time at.
If one does not SPENT time at a sector, it really does not matter if this is an auspicious or bad sector.
3. Once we know the purpose of each theory or concept; then we should be able to know what it can or cannot do.
For example, as mentioned under Para 2, even if the sector is auspicious or inauspicious; under the Eight house theory one has to SPENT time at that sector.
For the Flying Star theory, it helps to diagnose whether there is any imbalance at a sector. For example, if there is an imbalance found under the Flying Star theory, one must try to neutralise Sha qi at that sector. After, one does that, this sector is said to be neutralised. You can do anything you want at that sector or spent good time there if this is a good sector under the Eight House theory.
Therefore, it is good to evaluate each concept or theory by looking at:
Step 1: What is it's purpose or aim?
From this set, we can then have an idea what that theory or concept is about.
For example: Flying Star is about birth chart of the house.
For example: Eight House is about suitability of the hosue to the person.
Next, examine Step 2: what is it's strength
and next, examine Step 3: what is it's weakness.
By doing all these, I believe, if we know the aim or purpose, we will not get confused with the whole thing about Feng Shui.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
