Dear Cecil,
How does one analyze the feng shui of a house whose shape is very awkward, eg. 1) Very broad but narrow house 2) the opposite, very narrow but very long. For the first situation does one just take the front three sectors and analyze? For the second does one just take the central spine three sectors and analyze? Any difference in approach for the Eight Mansions FS and the flying star FS?
Thank you.

Dear SK,
1. Yes, I can understand the problem, here.
2. The best approach is to try to find the centrepoint of the home. Or the centre-of-gravity of the home.
3. For example, photocopy a scaled layout plan. Glue this onto a cardboard. Cut-out the outline. And (try) to balance the entire layout on a nail. (To find the centre of gravity or centrepoint) of the home.
4. The key here is to find the centrepoint. And from this centrepoint, use a `pie-chart' to radiate out the compass directions.
5. To summarise, once, the centrepoint is found; one can then (sensibly) apply the eight house and/or the flying star charts to the home.
6. Otherwise, unlike an `L' shaped layout plan, where each rectangle can be seperately analysed; a totally odd shaped layout plan - can be very impractical to subdivide into two ro more sectors.
7. As a `last-resort', if one has a good idea of Shapes and Forms should `study' or examine or (mentally visualise) where a qi enters a specific location e.g. the main entrance door area, and imagine how - it will flow thru specific sectors etc...
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
