Dear Cindy,

When Flying Star Feng Shui is applied i.e. S2; and if your home was born or had a major renovation done between 1984 to 2003, then one should consider the various important numbers:-

#8 - Current prosperity

Actually, the mountain star MS#8 is directly at South while WS#8 is at the SW sector. In some homes, the gate is on the side of the home and often the front could benefit (instead) with a wall and a water postion could be determined to see if it can be at SW sector.

#7 - Past prosperity but #7 became nasty in 2004. Because of the double #7's at the back of the home; if the home continues to remain as a Period 7 home, than, it would benefit from a water feature at the back of the home to neutralise the double 7's. Otherwise, good to see if the home can be changed to a Period 8 home.

Thus, if we are applying Flying Star Feng Shui, some concepts relating to Shapes and Forms may not be appropriate. This is because Shapes and Forms DOES NOT consider time dimension in Feng Shui. Previously a double #7 is considered favourable prior to 2004, and a solid backing at the home was advantages at that time, but now, one has to deal with this two nasty #7's. One way is that since #7's are weak metal x2, water element is the best "cure" to draw out metal.

Some other charts like NW2 and NW3 or say SE1 (Period 7) are Peral Sting charts that should take advantage of a "mountain" at the frontage and "water" at the back of the home. Again, this will not match what you had mentioned below.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
