Dear Cecil,
I wish to know what is the better method, 9 square format or pie chart format for someones floorplan? I ask that because if someone have rectangular apartment or room, there is much differences in thise two metods. You know, one corner is too big, and the other is to small...
I realise that 9 square format is easier, but is it rightly?
Thanks in advance for answer and thanks for such a good web site.

Dear Dragana,

1. In the context of Flying Star Feng Shui, both the 9-square grid and the pie chart methods are equally valid.

2. Recently, I responded to a forum post that outlined these two approaches.

3. You might consider conducting a search in this forum for the term 'pie chart' to review the previous message I posted.

4. As noted in the first paragraph, there is no distinction between the two methods. However, many Feng Shui practitioners often utilize pre-made templates, such as those printed on transparency sheets, which can be easily overlaid on a layout plan without concerns about scaling.

5. For those who are not practitioners, it may be beneficial to take the time to create a 9-grid chart that aligns with the layout plan.

6. If you explore various Chinese (Mandarin) texts on Feng Shui, you will likely find that many authors prefer to present a pie chart, resembling the profile of the Chinese Luo Pan compass, which is also structured in a pie chart format.

7. In my view, it is primarily English-language books on Feng Shui that tend to utilize the 9-grid chart.

8. As previously mentioned, practitioners, including myself, often do not have the time or 'luxury' to adjust layout plans to fit a 9-grid chart due to the large number of plans we review daily.

9. There are two types of Flying Star Charts:

9.1 The horizontal Flying Star chart

9.2 The vertical Flying Star chart
- The horizontal Flying Star chart is the standard format used for analyzing plan forms or actual layout plans.
- The vertical Flying Star chart pertains to apartments, where it is believed that each floor has varying qi levels. This method is specific to apartments. For those unfamiliar, you can utilize the Free report to analyze your apartment number and understand its significance. The vertical Flying Star Feng Shui does not employ pie or 9-grid formats.
Ultimately, there is no definitive right or wrong choice between the pie chart and the 9-grid method. You are welcome to choose whichever approach you find most comfortable.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
