In Chinese Metaphysics, there
are many types of systems and formulas. One of them is known
as Flying Stars systems of Feng Shui. In this system, there are
nine types of stars which are given numeral of 1 - 9. These stars
are actually bodies of energy (also known as Qi) that moves within
a property. In Feng Shui, a property is divided into nine equal
sectors based on compass direction of North, South, East, West,
Northeast, Southeast, Northwest and Southwest. The sector without
any compass direction is the center. The distribution of Qi over
these sectors demarcates the good and bad sectors therein and
formed an energy pattern within a property. The energy pattern
in a property will change from month to month and year to year
as the stars fly from one sector to the other.
In Flying Stars Feng Shui, a
property belonged to a period of time based on its facing direction.
There are altogether nine periods and each period has 20 years
based on the Chinese Solar Calendar. We are currently in period
8 which started in February 2004 and will last until February
2023. In each period, the nine flying stars are categorizes into
good and bad stars. The good stars are deemed timely and will
bring prosperity to residents of a property whereas the bad ones
are considered untimely and become portents of misfortune. For
this period, the few good stars are 8, 9 and 1. Star 8 is the
current prosperity star whereas star 9 and 1 are future and distant
prosperity stars respectively. |

Star 8 is considered very auspicious
as it is the ruling star of the period. It brings wealth, financial
success, career advancement and prosperity to the residents when
it flies into a given sector of a property. For example, star
8 occupies the East sector in the year 2008. A house with the
main entrance in the East sector or a room in the East sector
will be able to tap into the positive energy of this star and
the residents will enjoy good luck in their endeavors.
Star 9 is deemed auspicious as
it is the ruling star for the next period which will start from
Feb 2023 onwards. This star brings future prosperity to the residents.
In year 2008, this star flies into the Southeast sector of a
property. A door or room where this star is located will allow
the residents therein to enjoy good luck such as long term investments,
promotion and business opportunities.
Star 1 is also auspicious as
it is the distant ruling star and belonged to period 1 which
will start from Feb 2043 onwards. This star brings wisdom, academic
luck, recognition and fame. In year 2008, this star flies into
the center of a property. A door or room with this star residing
in it will be bring scholarly luck for students or those in the
literary, artistic or creative fields.
The other useable stars are star
6 and 4. Both stars are deemed to be untimely but nevertheless
have their positive qualities when combined with favorable stars
of the current period. Star 6 is suitable for power and status
whereas star 4 can be used for romance and academic pursuits.
Star 6 and star 4 resides in the North and Northeast respectively
