The practice of Feng Shui is complex and involved. There are many schools of thought and variations to the art of tapping into the energies of the universe. Although Feng Shui seems to be multi-disciplinary, with each school of thought advocating their superiority over the others, I prefer to follow an interdisciplinary approach. That is, combining the different schools of thought with intuition and common sense to achieve the most effective results. This article is guided by 'Classical Feng Shui', but Black Hat Sect (Western) Feng Shui should not be discredited, but rather incorporated to achieve a whole.
The Saturn Talisman (time and order) is the main tool of reference. However to fully comprehend the intrinsic world of energy flow, a thorough knowledge is needed of the following: the I-Ching and its 64 hexagrams; 5 elements; Chinese Astrology; the 28 Moon Mansions: the 24 Star Portals (Dragon Mountains) and the power of connecting with Spirit.

2 SYSTEMS OF FENG SHUI (changing energy):1. Eight Mansions: focus on direction and its influence on people.
2. Flying Stars: focus on direction and its influence on buildings.
Together they bring excellent results.
1. EIGHT MANSIONS (BA ZHAI):
I am influenced by 8 cardinal directions.
4 will support me and 4 wont.
Auspicious directions: bring positive energy: gain, wealth, health, happiness.
Inauspicious directions: bring negative energy: loss, divorce, disease, poverty.
Activate auspicious directions only.
My personal gua number determines these directions.
How to calculate the Gua number:
Male: add last 2 numbers of year of birth and subtract from 10.
Female: add last 2 numbers of year of birth and add 5.
Gua Number 3:
Activate: South ($); North (health); SE (love); East (growth).

Putting Life Gua into action:

Doors must receive energy from my good directions: North, East, SE, South.
Stove and doors to face my good directions to receive auspicious energy.
Bed must have headboard for support, stability and protection.
Toilet in – 70.
Stove should not be placed in any of the 4 good areas. Placed in any of the 4 negative positions – fire can burn up luck, especially in the –90 (West) to increase wealth $$$. Knobs should face one of my good directions. Do not place in -70 (NE) = betrayals and lawsuits. Stove never in the North-West - fire in heaven.
Home Office:

2. FLYING STARS:
Xuan Kong Fei Xing (pronounced: shoon kong fay sing).
Fei Xing (fay sing) = Flying Sars.
Fei Xing (fay sing) = Flying Sars.
Subtle mysteries of time and space or the mysterious void.
How time affects space and the people who live there.
Like the tides of the sea, the Feng Shui energy of the environment (living and working space), naturally supersedes that of the individual. Why is this? You cannot claim that your personal astrological chart, bio-rhythms, energy, etc is good, therefore your chances of surviving a a natural or man-made disaster are better or therefore you can go swim in the ocean while it is high-tide. There is usually one kitchen, one dining room, one living or reception room for all to share regardless of your personal gua number. The energies of the environment should be tapped in and harnessed for all to thrive regardless of personal charts. Then orientate each family member to harness their lucky directions.

Energy & time constantly changes. Changes made to environment can alter my relationship with the world. Flying Stars removes the mystery or seemingly random distribution of good and bad luck enabling me to isolate variations in fortune.
Every building has a natal flying star chart depending on the date moved in (very accurate) and the direction the front door faces.
Period 7 house – moved in between February 1984 – February 2004.
Period 8 house – moved in between February 2004 - February 2024.
Direction / time / environmental forms: together they influence the living environment. Land forms are immutable and override energy of occupants.
Main aim: analyse energy of the building and adjust it to support the occupants.
The stars have a celestial correlation to the 7 stars of the Big Dipper (Northern Ladle) and 2 imaginary stars for a total of 9.
Each star possess a unique quality of energy that can influence behaviour and events. Some stars are auspicious, others not.
Flying Star System is based on large scale time cycles and planetary alignments.
Observes the movement of planets. Mega-cycle (180 years) divided into 3 x 60 year cycles (upper, middle, lower) = 3 20 year periods / ages. Each 20 year period is assigned a number and a trigram that exhibits a unique energy that influences the world. The Milky Way shifts every 18 - 20 years – affecting the luck of a place (building) and its occupants.
