Part 5
Completing the flying star chart of your property
Recall that we have collected 2 pieces of information. First is the age group of your house and second is the facing direction of your house. You are ready to construct the complete flying star chart of your house base on the 2 information. Every number of the age chart is associated with a direction; you need to know which number of your age chart is associated with which direction. Below is the age chart of your house and the default Lo Shu diagram showing on the directions. The default Lo Shu diagram describing the directions is fixed no matter what age group your house belongs to. Feng Shui traditionally places the north at the bottom. This is not to be confused when taking the reading of your house. You do not need to do any conversion or swapping of any sort. The Feng Shui Luo Pan is read the same way as normal compass. They will both point to the same north. From the two diagrams below, just to list a few example, the number 6 will be associated with southeast (SE) direction, the number 9 is associated with west(W) direction and the number 8 is associated with northwest direction. We know that your house is facing 45 degree northeast and seating 225 degree southwest. The numbers which is associated with this 2 direction will be 1 and 4. The number 1 in this example is call the facing or water star while the number 4 is call the seating or mountain star.

Default Lo Shu diagram

Refer to the diagram in below; we introduce the first set of water and mountain star into the age chart. There are still 8 other squares remaining that we need to fill up as well.

Let’s get start with the water stars first; we have to refer back to the San Yuan table. For those of you, who have printed out the San Yuan table, take out the table from your pocket. There are steps to follow closely. First step is to check under angle column for 45 degree NE and the corresponding San Yuan which in this example belong to the heaven group (highlight in yellow). Now go back to the table again, check under the number column for number 1 and check the San Yuan under the heaven group (highlight in blue). The corresponding polarity is negative and it tell us that we need to fill in the squares in descending order, eg 9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1. The flow sequences you remember earlier on are still the same. Below is the diagram showing the age chart completely filled with water stars.



Note:
If you have notice, the flying star no. 5 is missing from the San Yuan Chart. Traditionally if you are facing or seating with the no. 5 ruling star, you have to replace it with the ruling star in your center palace.

After filling in the water stars, our next step is to complete the flying star chart by filling up the mountain stars. Go back to San Yuan table, check under the number column for number 4 and check the San Yuan under the heaven group (highlight in green). The corresponding polarity is positive and it tell us that we need to fill in the squares in ascending order, eg 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. The flow sequences remain the same. Below is the diagram showing the complete flying star chart with all the elements filled in.



Congratulations, you have come to the end of the tutorials on building flying star charts, thank you for reading. We hope that by now, you are able to draw the flying stars chart of your property.

Flying Star Calculator


After you have key in the information of your property into the calculator, remember to check for any substitution stars. These substitution stars are to solve the problems between polarities. Do keep both the charts with substitution and without substitution. At times, one will be more accurate then its peers.
