“When the combination of the annual star and monthly star in a compass sector is made up of the good stars (8, 6 and 1), the particular sector is said to very auspicious and will bring lots of good luck to its occupant. But when the bad stars congregate in the same sector, it’s important that you vacate the room for the month. If this cannot be done, you must install Feng Shui cures to suppress them or they will bring misfortunes of the most severe kind. However, you do not have to worry if the bad stars fly into a storeroom, toilet, garage or a missing corner because its negative effect is said to be contained and dissolved. The effect, whether good or bad, is lesser when the number appears alone.”
“The flight of the 9 Feng Shui stars which is based on the pattern of numbers in the Luo Shu Square, changes positions every 20 year and on an annual, monthly and even daily basis. However, for practical Feng Shui application, the Annual and Monthly Flying Stars are of greater significance. The yearly Flying Star updates serve as an important indicator of the potential events of the year ahead whilst the monthly forecasts help with timing, suggesting when to attempt something and when to lie low. Hence it is important to take note of the positions of these Flying Stars so that we can be prepared accordingly, whether armed for protection or ready for activation. Given the volatility of the Five Yellow and its Flying Star status, it is wise to stay up to date on its area of influence not only annually but on a monthly basis.
