Flying Star FENG SHUI: the time dimension

In addition to spaceconsiderations, Feng Shui alsohas a time dimension. This is related to the relevance of time cycles, and the technique of analyzing the Feng Shui of time periods is collectively practiced under what is known as Flying Star Feng Shui. This focuses on the significance of changing forces during different time periods. The process highlights the intangible influences of the numbers and combinations of numbers of the magic Lo Shu square.

This adds vital nuances to”good” and “bad” Feng Shui and explains that good or bad luck in terms of the harmony or disharmony in the environment does not necessarily occur continuously or last forever. Nor do auspicious and inauspicious orientations remain the same throughout one’s entire life.

Flying Star Feng Shui allows the practitioner to undertake annual monitoring of changes in the Feng Shui luck of a house by studying the influence of the Earth’s intangible forces. This is time dimension Feng Shui which therefore alerts the practitioner to inauspicious forces. Unless dealt with or countered, these intangible forces are believed to cause serious misfortune to residents. Equally there are auspicious forces, and these too can be enhanced.

Numbers and the Lo Shu grid

Time dimension theory revolves around numbers and reflects the basic fundamentals of Chinese numerology. The main tool in the formulation and understanding of this theory is the original Lo Shu square. In this square, the numbers 1 to 9 are arranged around the ninesquares of the Lo Shu grid in such a way that any three numbers read in any direction add up to 15, whether calculated horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. The number 15 expresses the number of days it takes for a new moon to become a full moon.

Even numbers, which carry Yin energy, are placed at each corner of the square. Note the positions of the numbers, 2, 4, 6, and 8.

Odd numbers, which carry Yang energy, appear on the four compass points. Thus 1, 3, 7, and 9 are placed on north, east, west, and south, while the number 5 is placed in the center.

The numbers move around the grid in a preset sequence that sets the flight path for the way all other numerals should “fly.” The numbers have meanings. They signify the elements, and interact with each other and the objects of the compass location in which they are found.

These interactions are dynamic and they create the intangible unseen forces that transform the energy either into bad, killing energy or into good, lucky energy. Flying Star Feng Shui is about diagnosing the relevant combination of numbers in various locations of the home. Flying Star Feng Shui thus requires an understanding of the meanings of these numbers, and the ability to interpret whether or not the numbers in each compass location bring good fortune and, if it turns out they do not, how to counter the effect of bad flying stars.

Hence the name “Fey Sin Feng Shui,” or Flying Star Feng Shui. In fact, of course, the stars that are referred to are imaginary stars. In each of the nine grids there is a main star numeral, a mountain star or Chor Sin numeral, and a water star or Siang Sin numeral. These star numerals change (or fly) from one grid to the next. They also fly from period to period.

Look at the example of a typical Lo Shu flying star natal chart. This chart shows a Period of Seven

House with its main door located in the north sector and the door facing the first subsection of north direction. The small numbers on the left of the main star numeral are the Siang Sin stars. Note their flight path and also how the numbers change.

The numbers on the right of the main star numeral are the Chor Sin stars. Note also the way they fly around the grid and change numbers as they move from one compass sector to the next.

Flying Star Feng Shui examines these star numerals and draws conclusions about auspicious and inauspicious sectors of a dwelling place during a specific time period, based on these star numbers. This technique, its method of computation, its analyses, and the applications to which it can be put, make up the substance on flying star Feng Shui.

Reigning numbers and time periods

Flying Star usage starts with the knowledge of time periods. The numbers of the Lo Shu square vary from period to period. In each period there is what is referred to as “the reigning Lo Shu number.”

At the moment we are in the period of seven. This 20-yearperiod started in 1984 and is scheduled to come to an end in the year 2003.The reigning number is seven, because the applicable Lo Shu arrangement of numbers has seven as the main numeral star situated in the center of the square.

The reigning number for the next 20-year period will be eight, and for the 20-year period following that will be nine. In addition, there are also reigning stars for each year, each month, and each day. These reigning Lo Shu numbers are an integral part of theChinese Almanac, or Tong Shu, where good and bad days for all sorts of events are worked out each year. These calculations can also be said to be based on flying star Feng Shui. The Almanac is sold throughout the Far East. The Chinese version has a detailed listing of good and bad dates. The English version is more explanatory and is not a reference calendar like the Chinese one.

Natal chart of dwellings

In addition, and more relevant to Feng Shui practice, these reigning numbers also form the basis for casting the natal chart of buildings, homes, and any kind of structure. From the natal chart it is possible to tell whether or not a place or building will enjoy favorable Feng Shui during designated months and years. These periods of good or bad Feng Shui can be as short as a week or as long as a year. The natal chart also reveals the locations within a house that will have excellent luck during that period and the rooms that could cause illness, loss, and serious misfortune.
