Flying Star Feng Shui - 81 Star Combinations

Explorations with Heluo Hill

A series of articles by Heluo on the subject of Time, Space and Destiny since 1999

Have you wondered why at all 9 Stars can be alternately ‘timely’

and ‘untimely’ in Fei Xing? Is it due to Fei Xing or San Yuan?

Have you been working with 81 Star Combinations in Flying Star Feng

Shui while disregarding Mountain and Water Principle that says that we

either allow pathway for Qi (open) or disallow pathway for Qi (close) ?

WHAT’S FEI XING, WHAT THEN SAN YUAN?

Besides 9 Stars are not timely but Inside Yun, not untimely but Outside

Yun, any remote notion of ‘timely an d auspicious’ and ‘untimely and

inauspicious’ is misplaced and as such not due to Flying Star Feng Shui, butdue only to San Yuan Jiu Yun. Yet, such notions will have culminated in a

table with 81 Star Combinations – commonly in use – with stunning

connotation of illness, accident or disaster glued onto Star combinations.

Most Flying Star Feng Shui practitioners would use ‘Fei Xing’ and ‘San Yuan’

in same breath. As a 9 Stars artist, you must really see San Yuan for whatit is. Saying, we must first of all solve that, using those 9 Stars for purpose

of Fei Xing Feng Shui is one, then any ‘pulled in’ categorizations – would

they be called Wuxing or 12 Life Stages or San Yuan - are notional.

Which made me decide that, if at all a discourse on 81 Star Combinations,

it should only come with yet again assemblence of fundamentals, pertinent

to our at all employing Xuan Kong Fei Xing Feng Shui 玄空飛星風水

in any

responsible way. A table such as the one presented here and where it gives

enumeration of what 81 Star Combinations would bode, could and should

be seen only in light of basics pertaining Xuan Kong Flying Star Feng Shui.

In fact, once those basic Xuan Kong Fei Xing prescriptions in place,

this would render any 81 Star Combinations table entirely obsolete if only

It will take you some time to conquer this article, as it contains a step by

step ‘first things first’ approach into certain established ‘truths’, such as

you must know what San Yuan exactly bodes, while to begin with, no-one

knows where such terms as ‘timely’ or ‘untimely’ had come from, as in fact,the very terms are wrong and not faithful to any Chinese verbatim.

You’re a Xuan Kong Fei Xing – then rather not a San Yuan – practitioner, so

that, Sān Yuán Jiǔ Yùn 三元九運 is not ‘Feng Shui’, it just only means ‘Three

Cycles, Nine Periods’, as what San Yuan does along an ar i t hmet i ca l

exe rc i se is, first divide a period of 180 years into 3 x 60 years, then 9 x

20 years. Once then pulled in by Fei Xing Feng Shui, it can provide Fei Xingwith ‘a’ take on waxing and waning along the course of larger time cycles.

Time division proposed by San Yuan is then employed for purpose of Fei

Xing, whereas you will see that, as such, San Yuan ‘timeliness’ finds no

seat in any of the other standing 9 Stars and Luoshu systems of

applications, or any other metaphysical system for that matter.

Saying, things in perspective, San Yuan (no more than) supplies Xuan Kong

Fei Xing with ‘a’ notion of timing and not only could Fei Xing have just as

well adopted a good number of other notions on timing, this is as far as we

should allow San Yuan to infringe at the realm of 9 Stars and 8 Trigrams.

Therefore, within context and at best , it may be correct to say that:

Are we Fei Xing experts or actually 9 Stars and Luoshu experts?

Now, to really see that San Yuan is actually no more than just ‘a’ proposal

for ‘a’ calendar division and that Fei Xing Feng Shui could have just as well

‘pulled in’ 12 Stages of Life to take 9 Stars to vibrancy and thus ‘behavior’- and no matter how long you’d have been involved in Fei Xing Feng Shui -,

let’s get really technical and see what it actually is we are doing.

Surely, at the end of the day, we’d be actually no more than working along

9 Stars and Luoshu. Only after we’d have gathered a clear overall

cosmological view onto 9 Stars, would it be soon enough to step into any of

9 Star’s systems of application, which would be of later concern and could

well be Flying Star Feng Shui, Nine Star Ki Astrology or 9 Ki Divination.

Start from scratch, as it is, there would be first our categorizing all tangible

and intangible phenomena in our cosmos, with at such point ‘a’ system of

application not anywhere in sight. It’s just that, still at this point, if we see

a thing as ‘knife’, we would like to know into which bucket out of a series of9 it should go. While ‘knife’ goes into bucket #7 for Dui Gua, it just sits

there, then not would it be a ‘timely’ or ‘untimely’, an ‘auspicious’ or

‘inauspicious’ knife. A thing as ‘womb’ to end up in bucket #2 for Kun Gua,

would not be a ‘healthy’ or ‘sick’ womb, because at this stage it is on to

just 9 Stars and Trigram attributes, with no further connotation, for reason

How San Yuan Jiu Yun is just only to divide 180 years into portions

Whereas 25,920 years for Great Year could divide along whichever variety

of segments, we may have such range organized around 144 portions of

180 years. Which is where San Yuan comes in as, once then arrived at ‘a’certain portion of 180 years, San Yuan further divides it into 3 x 60 years,

then once more into 9 x 20 years, that’s all. In our times, the then most

relevant and manageable such portion of 180 years runs from 1864-2044.

What we do in Oriental metaphysics is, we use such stretch of 180 years to

give out Jiazi, or the 60 combinations there are to 10 Heavenly Stems and

12 Earthly Branches, such that the first Stem-Branch combination of Yang

Wood-Rat coincides with 1864, the last in the range Yin Water-Pig with

2043. However, at no point did we adhere connotation, performance or

behavior onto any of the Ganzhi, as we’re here still on to only cartography .

San Yuan means ‘3 Cycles’, so that, for that matter, those 180 years could

have been divided by 2 cycles, 8 cycles or 19¾ cycles just the same. But it

just so comes out that ‘San’ means 3, just as ‘Jiu’ as in Jiu Yun means ‘9’.

Where then any range of 180

years could be divided into 10 or

12, it just so happens that San

Yuan then takes same span of

180 ll t t d t


6/51

Let’s take 60 Jiazi and 9 Stars into behavior

Fundamentally, 9 Stars behavior actually varies each time with changing

domain, platform and context . We cannot make general claims as to 9

Stars behavior, until after we decided how such seemingly ‘same’ 9 Stars

would yet perform in Fei Xing due to its ‘operators’, then in Nine Star Ki

Astrology or 9 Ki Divination, given different ‘operators’ there. Once Fei Xing

our platform for Stars to come into behavior, we say Forms govern Stars,

but, still at this point, we only just have our building blocks, which could be

60 Jiazi or 9 Stars, but not had we pulled in a ‘mirror’ to be weighing

Ganzhi and 9 Stars qualitatively. We’d have the segmentation into neatly

organized parts, then not did we have a board for waxing and waning, the

vibrancy, only then eventually the behavior, performance of Stars.

Translated in terms of Fei Xing, we now know how to divide a portion of

180 years into 3, then into 9, but we are still not sure about the behavior

of Star 2 ‘womb’ or Star 7 ‘knife’, simply because, for that, we would need

something that could supply waxing and waning, such as 12 Stages of Life,or Wuxing. We still need ‘adopt’ some type of progression to take 9 Stars

to performance. If Fei Xing means to ‘fly Stars’, but we would like to know

each Star’s behavior at any given time, we’d first need ‘pull in’ a ‘mirror’,

so let’s capture certain those eligible mirrors by their respective tables,

catalogues. Now, there are several ways by which we may take 9 Stars to

perform, but by themselves, 9 Stars do not so much as ‘perform’. 9 Stars

9 Stars are just that, they are 9 Stars

If you are a Fei Xing Feng Shui artist, then, before anything, you are

actually a specialist in 9 Stars and Luoshu. Saying, first 9 Stars, only then

system of application. Your expertise in 9 Stars and Luoshu is then in your

knowing exactly for what circumstances you could be tapping into which

table to then momentarily operate 9 Stars. With already your sitting on

ultimate knowledge to concern of cosmological classifications for all

phenomena, your student or client could just ‘ask away’ and at one time

have you explain what 9 Stars behavior to expect once pulled in Wuxing,

another time 12 Stages of Life, then again, could be any other ‘mirror’.

9 Stars are just that, they are 9

Stars. Still at the cosmological

domain, they appear after we

decided to take all (in)tangible

phenomena in our universe along a

division of ‘9’. There is no

information at this point as to

‘vibrancy’ of Stars, thus

consequently not ‘behavior’.

Said differently, there’d be the automatic equation ‘Star+Trigram

attribute’, then not robotically a ‘Star+San Yuan’ or a ‘Star+Wuxing’, which

If you think about it, why then would a table with 81 Star Combinations be

obsolete? Simply because of common sense and for reason that, as it is,

our sole concern would be with just those 9 Stars in our Flying Star chart,

then those Stars mirrored directly against environmental features, and Use,such that, never at any point in our assessment or our adjusting, would

any prefabricated table with connotations have come into play. Then comes

in how we would perceive 9 Stars to behave, but again here mirrored

then only against environmental Mountain and Water , those either

appropriately present or absent in their respective location and direction.

What then makes for the better Fei Xing artist?

Not wishing to step into persiflage in any way, but practically, let’s have a

Flying Star Feng Shui consultant to come visit our house and to keep it

straightforward and within the framework of ‘you catch my drift‘, let’s paint

just two crude scenarios. Say, we have ‘a’ particular Star combination

somewhere in our Flying Star chart, which could be Star ‘x-y’.

Scenario one – using table with 81 Star Combinations

Consultant once stumbled upon such Stars ‘x-y’, then tells you ‘oh, but,

that actually bodes sickness in that and that organ’, while then ‘this and

that marriage will fail’ or ‘your child bound to break his leg’. He doesn’tseem to be bothered with either present or absent Mountain and Water,

then upon your further enquiring, he just points to his table with 81 Star

Combinations that ‘says so’. Or, in the odd case that he would actually

install appropriate Mountain and Water, we can ask if this was an

improvement if still he would be talking about setbacks, sickness, all types

of disaster, then of course indiscriminately extended into this or that ‘celebration’ or ‘superb exams’, just the same. As a side note – but

admittedly, that could be just me – I would not be amused once invited

anyone over for just an energetic screening, then be taken all hostage for

having to hear all these (exaggeration intended for the purpose) psychiatric

‘goodies’, not to speak of having to endure all the gesticulation and the

facial expression that should then underscore the ‘message’. Rather, then

against teaching, against life, while actually, it is factually setting aside all

Xuan Kong Fei Xing Feng Shui is about and would otherwise have to offer.

San Yuan is a bit same as in saying that, along any range of 24 hours, we’d

have a ‘colder’ part during night time and a ‘warmer’ part during day time,

while it’s just that then someone started saying that, one part of the day is

timely , the other untimely , then, to make things worse, one is auspicious,

the other inauspicious. There you have it, and you wouldn’t accept that.

For once and for all see that, we are into practicing Flying Star Feng Shui,

we did not practice San Yuan Feng Shui or even Wuxing Feng Shui. San

Yuan is no more than a proposal to cling on to ‘a’ calendar, just as Wuxing

Five Transformations was to give you a better notion on the earth orbit

around the sun, so that we’d have some neat cartography there and we can

‘make soup’ of waxing and waning terrestrial forces during any Solar year.

We should trust that, anything added to Fei Xing Feng Shui should then

come as a true contribution to Fei Xing Feng Shui. San Yuan is not to takeits place and it didn’t even become one of Fei Xing’s operators, which would

still be with Mountain and Water and the other basics in place always. You

may appreciate that it follows from this that, where we would ‘allow’ San

Yuan to rain down on 9 Stars for purpose of house divination in Fei Xing,

then designate one Star ‘timely’, another Star ‘untimely’, that’s just

ti l d it i f it h ld

If you followed this line of reasoning, one would only wish there was a

table showing just 81 Star Combinations, period. That would have us gaze

onto just the range 1-1, 1-2, 1-3 right up to 9-9, without designations or

further connotation. Not. By far most combinations would be packed with

images of disaster that not we would wish to come upon our enemies.

and Trigram attributes, then followed by your wish to pick either one of 9

Stars applications of which Fei Xing is but one. Could have been 9 Star

Divination for news events or Nine Star Ki Astrology. Thing is, each these

systems come with ‘operators’ of their own, then timeliness as proposed by

San Yuan, as it is, exclusively made applicable for Fei Xing Feng Shui.

The main purpose of your training and practice in 9 Stars and Luoshu is, to

know just those cosmological 9 Stars and Trigram attributes, without at

all 9 Stars having yet rained down on any specific system of application.

Only once then we had gathered a clear take on what 9 Stars bode and

such still one stage before any application on our left hand side would tell

us the 9 Stars would ‘behave like this’, while the other application would

tell us the 9 Stars would ‘behave like that’, could we be stepping into

responsible practice.

As it is, you’d know how to mirror any Star combination against what’s inyour Fei Xing tool box, so that you would be busy enough minding all those

techniques derived from the Mountain and Water Principle, Form and Qi ,

distribution of energy . Rather not would you have lost sight of those, then

walk around a house, table of 81 Star Combinations in hand, then seeing

combo x-y to land on anyone’s desk, then start proclaiming all kinds of

9 STARS

Each of the 9 Stars – Jiǔ Xīng 九星 – may be linked to one of Five Elements

- Wǔ Xíng 五行. By association, each Star also receives a color and a planet.

Fire phase also includes the sun, Water phase the moon. Please note that any table you

will come across is just always a representation of moving energy but given in static

position. We typical ly link 3 Wood and Jupiter to the East. However, you will easily

grasp how such energies will yet obtain movement and change direction and portents.

One widely employed approach in Xuan Kong Fei Xing Feng Shui, as we

assess the floor plan of a built structure, is to focus on combinations

formed between Mountain Dragon and Water Dragon, such as here 6-T-8.

In itself, once you know your 9 Stars and Trigram attributes, you could

take such attribute and transport it to any of the 9 Stars and Luoshu

systems. If Star 2 is ‘Womb’, it is that in Fei Xing, it is that in 9 Ki. What

you can’t do is, transport one type of behavior you saw in one application

to the other application, because operators remain fixed with the systems,

said differently, what triggered a Star’s behavior in one system, is not what

would bring out behavior of the Star in the other system. It’s fundamental.

Therefore, where on the one hand you would see Fei Xing designate

combinations such as 1-4, 2-3 and 6-7 as ‘good for exams’, ‘Bullfight Sha’

or ‘Clashing Swords’ respectively, same could not transport to Nine Star Ki

or 9 Ki Divination, or, if you did, your 9 Ki practice would plunge into fault.

If you have been a Flying Star Feng Shui practitioner, most Star portents

will be known to you, but before we proceed, I would like to still make sure

that we offered some fundamental considerations that should be minded

before at all we committed the knowledge of these 81 Star Combinations toactual practice. What I am saying is, you would still work with the 81 Star

Combinations as such, then not along such tables as presented here.

Imperative in our fully appreciating 9 Stars is that, 9 Stars

at t r i bu tes would not alter with changing system of

application, but along changing operator, Star behav io r

FEI XING FENG SHUI AND 9 KI ARE PERFECTLY UNRELATED

Then, impera t i ve for any of us in the field of Fei Xing Feng Shui, if

already in Flying Star Feng Shui the eventual auspiciousness of any Star

wasn’t solely determined by its ‘timeliness’, only grave mistake could becommitted if equally, annual- and monthly Stars as they derive from the

autonomous 9 S ta r K i would be deemed timely or untimely. Saying,

where already we would be utterly conservative as to our at all employing

such connoted table with 81 Star Combinations for purpose of Fei Xing, any

connotation there would not apply outside just Fei Xing Feng Shui, certainly

not were we to involve from 9 Ki derived annual- and monthly Stars forpurpose of Fei Xing, or in our forecasting news event along the stunning art

of 9 Ki Divination. Whereas Fei Xing would, then 9 Ki simply wouldn’t

borrow from San Yuan. 9 Ki o the rw i se pe r fec t l y un re la ted to Fe i

X ing Feng Shu i , then certainly 9 Ki not answering to San Yuan timing.

Annual and monthly Stars in 9 Ki are a lways t ime ly , so, if those 81 Star

connotations employed irrespective of Form and Use in Fei Xing, or ifindiscriminately transported what would be ‘Feng Shui’ notions to from 9 Ki

derived annual- and monthly Stars, either way your practice will be stalled.

Sample one

Before we proceed, we could ask a question while using the example of a

door with 3-7, which would be Mountain Dragon 3 along a Water Dragon 7,

while noting that San Yuan would deem both Star 3 and Star 7 ‘untimely

and inauspicious’ during Period 8. Which, as a Feng Shui consultant, that

would be back to either one of two scenarios, in mind then also that,

because it has the door and all else being equal, Water Dragon 7 would be

Host, Mountain Dragon 3 would be Guest.

One approach is in ‘Mountain Dragon doesn’t

go Down Water; Water Dragon doesn’t goUp Mountain’ and in telling your client to open

the door onto the Water Dragon 7, so that it

gets admitted into the house, while in the

process this would nullify Mountain Dragon 3.

Even that is still a bit crude, but at least this approach oversees that, ‘a’designated ‘untimely and inauspicious’ Star could still be made to exert its

beneficial properties. If in seeing these Stars, you’d say “yes, but either

one is untimely”, then, by all means, I know where you’re coming from, but

to say ‘untimely and inauspicious’ would be one ‘inauspicious’ too many.

Sample two

If this much you ‘dig’, you may go to table to see what would befall this

family. Saying, for the moment, forget Mountain and Water Principle, all

you had ever gathered on Host-Guest or Form and Qi and just apply table.

It is a Period 8 house, Facing North, with a

door in the Northeast location of the house,

but such that it receives Water Dragon 9 from

out of North direction . If you work from the

table with the 81 Star Combinations, then not

counting Heaven’s Heart, you’d be looking at16 Star combinations for Mountain and Water.

It becomes clear that, if at all, it be best to share any such table with 81

Star Combinations only after we had secured anyone’s firm foundation in

Oriental cosmology, because even after we would have emphasized here

that we could not just look at 9 Stars or the 81 Star Combinations without

first our having secured so many other persistent dynamics into play,

experience shows that people tend to say ‘yes, I understand’, and the next

thing you know is, you’d still see the table squarely applied.

Much as in drag ‘n’ drop, we could see the Star portent from table with 81

Star Combinations pulled along the floor plan until it ends up over the bed,

the furnace or our desk without further looking at Fei Xing prescriptions.

We know that, as such, there is no information at all in a combination such

as 9-4 or 3-6, so that, just knowing the portents for the Bullfight Sha

combo of 2-3, the Clashing Swords of 6-7 or those so-called Stars of illness

2-5 is not sufficient without knowing how to handle it. Just employing those

without further discrimination would be highly emblematic and mechanical.

What lays bare in such combinations will be revealed only after we filtered

the combination through what will be collectively called Fo rm and Q i ,

beginning with the factor time in Flying Star Feng Shui - which again, is

only so because it hangs from the San Yuan doctrine -, then such

combination mirrored against either present or absent environmentalMountain and Water, as well as direction, location, magnitude, proportion,

transportation, distribution, frequency, intensity, context and so on, until

each one of these could further alter Star behavior.

So, before at all you would think to resort to ‘a’ table, there’s plenty of

work ahead. I mean, with client central , and in an attempt to ward off

sickness, what to think of minding diet and food intake. Keep in mind that,

before we can decide what a combination may actually portent or which

Feng Shui adjustments would apply, we need factor in a vast string of

considerations, all simultaneously and this of course takes experience.

Your such experience will be based in:

WUXING HAVE JOB, STARS DUTY: SOVEREIGNTY AND PREFECTURES

In any Feng Shui Period, all 9 Stars remain fully

functional. Due to San Yuan, it would almost seem as if

all in Fei Xing revolves around timeliness. All in Fei Xingis about 9 Stars, then momentary sovereignty , so that in

Period 8, Star 8 is Sovereign, to assign duty to all other

Stars in the prefectures. Star 8 has no relation to

‘vibrancy’, as it is the Noble Qi descending from heaven.

In Period 8, Star 8 is not ‘timely’, as it is just Inside Yun (Dé Yùn 得運),

while other Stars are not ‘untimely’, but just Outside Yun (Shī Yùn 失運).

During Period 8, Star 8 assigns duty to his ministers, such that a capable

Star 7 Ministery of Finance is in Southeast province, a capable Star 2

Ministery of Education in Northeast province. Then, in itself, each minister

on duty can hire a work force, one time hiring from Wuxing, another time

from 12 Stages of Life, but job is not synonymous to duty . Timeliness,

vibrancy rather, is with Wuxing or 12 Stages of Life, not with the Ruler orhis ministers, which is about sovereignty, hierarchy at the realm of

mandate, assigned duty. Whether people subscribe to their Ruler’s decree,

or they come into rebellion, this remains outside the scope of the Ruler, so

that, whether the Wuxing administrative personnel or the 12 Stages of Life

mechanics handle their job well, lies outside the scope of ministers.

particularly Pancreas. Construction related objects (made of stone, brick,

concrete, rock). Boulder, cave, pit, basement. Construction related events

(buildings, compounds, bridges, tunnels, platforms). 5 Yellow does not

assume a Star or Trigram. It is electromagnetism and gravity, at the least,

the instigator of pole reversal. It can bring out what was innate already and

release accumulated energy such as armed calamities and war, (ethnic)rioting, plundering and assaults. It may be at the base of unprecedented

peace making and treaties, magnificent inventions, taking mankind to its

utmost performance. Ego-, ethnic-, minority- and/or race related conflicts.

FEI XING FUNDAMENTALS

Now that we gave you certain 9 Stars and Trigram attributes for purpose of

9 Ki Divination of personal life progression and news events, we may be

looking into some fundamentals pertaining Fei Xing Feng Shui, such as,when is a Star untimely (miss Yun) or timely (have Yun), what is Mountain

and Water Principle, what is Holy I-Holy 0, what is Form, Qi and Use and

certain considerations to account of Qi transportation and Qi distribution.

Without these basics, in fact, there is no Fei Xing Feng Shui, whereas, thing

is, once basics in place, you’d no longer even consider using any table

with 81 Star Combinations.

In fact, in mind the above, you would think it pretty alarming

to see anyone note ‘a’ Star combination, then exclaim all

kinds of events, as it is actually telling you, as per definition,

that the practitioner would in fact not be minding the basics.

You’d be not looking at any tables, because your knowledge and

deployment of just the Mountain and Water Principle (all to account of

‘Mountain Dragon doesn’t Go Down Water and Water Dragon doesn’t Go Up

Mountain’), then Body (T ǐ 體) and Application (Yòng 用), Host-Guest , as well

as your know-how on Yin and Yang and Wuxing would suffice.

27


27/51

27

As it is, we have to consider any Star combination:

• In light of the Palace in which the combination appears, with a priority

on the Sitting and Facing Palace and the Palace that has the main door.

• In light of any environmental feature into any direction.• In light of the Time period for which we make the consideration.

• In light of the Host-Guest theory – and primarily observing Mountain and

Water Principle - for the Sitting and Facing Palace and the door.

• In light of Host-Guest theory – still considering Mountain and Water

principles, but accepting mere Wuxing applications here in case we

cannot apply Mountain and Water - for the other six Palaces.

Which is a crude sum up, as we still did not consider ‘Qi heals Qi; things

within the same group move each other’ and ‘have tangible meet with

intangible, intangible with tangible’ . The very idea where 9 Stars would be

deemed alternately timely and untimely, has nothing to do with 9 Stars as

such, but only because Fei Xing resorts under the San Yuan Jiu Yun

doctrine. Under the umbrella of San Yuan, 9 Stars can gain vibrancy, cometo prime during their own 20-year time period, then decline or vanish.

Saying, we’d have just 9 Stars and 8 Trigrams with all of their cosmological

attributes, while then we could add all kinds of classifications, so that at

one time, we could have 9 Stars mirrored against the earth orbit, another

QI PHASES AND MOMENTARY ALLIANCE For certain purpose, 9 Stars can be cartographied along San Yuan Jiu Yun,

then momentarily made to travel on the wave of 4 (out of an otherwise 12)

distinct phases of waxing and waning energy. Notwithstanding, we’d have a

firm 9 Stars on the one hand, then here Qi phases on the other hand,

whereas along correlative thinking we can then presuppose a clustered

figure – a momentary alliance – in our not just saying ‘Star 8’, but ‘Star 8

Wang’, not just ‘Star 9’, but ‘Star 9 Sheng’, noting, however, that what was

once description at the domain of ‘association’, may soon well become

prescription. Here, 9 Stars become identified with ‘a’ catalogue’ titled ‘Qi

phases’, thus rendered alternately timely and untimely. Formally and forpurpose of Fei Xing, 9 Stars are either Inside Yun or Outside Yun. If Star 8

is the Ruler in Period 8, somehow it became ‘Wang’, if Star 9 will be the

Ruler in Period 9, somehow – in Period 8 – Star 9 became ‘Sheng’. Qi

phases discussed here are not equivalent to Stars ‘Inside Yun’ or ‘Outside

Yun’. All 9 Stars in Fei Xing remain functional throughout the Feng Shui

Periods, albeit computations may have us favor a particular Star if it isInside Yun, before we would perhaps rely on a Star Outside Yun.

Shēng 生 Understood as give birth, life, grow. Upcoming, gaining on

vibrancy. In Period 8, Star 9 and Star 1 are noted as Sheng. Energy on the

rise, gaining on vibrancy, healthy and alive. We can expect good things to

come from Sheng Stars when we find it with the right Form, Qi and Use.

29


29/51

Along current notions in Fei Xing, if we find Mountain or Water Stars in

Sheng, Wang, Shuai or Si phase, we need to adjust by giving appropriate

Mountain or Water, either real or virtual Mountain, real or virtual Water.

If we find any Star compromised by the influence of Sha, we may also rely

on Wuxing adjustments. Sha can be imposed by a tree in direct line with a

door, a sharp pointy object, a long corridor, a pointed roof, a beam, a road

pointing straight at our door, or any other environmental or interior malign

influence, tangible or intangible, but supposedly readily discernable.

A comparison with seasons shows that in Spring, Wood energy is Wang, it

prospers, while the fading season is Winter, so Water energy is declining, it

is Shuai. In Spring, Metal energy is in its weakest point and Si, while noting

that, rather not would we insist on Wuxing to pertain to real objects, or

soon, by saying that ‘Water’ is ‘Si’ in Summer, we would think that ‘Water’

is actually H2O, then probably also that ‘Metal’ is, well, a real lump of metal.

USING STARS IN FENG SHUI PERIOD 7

Relatively, here are some of the projections in use in Fei Xing, while you

may note that, it mainly draws from an understanding that Stars can be

either Inside Yun (Dé Yùn得運

) or Outside Yun (Shī Yùn失運

), whereassomehow, terms such as ‘timely’ or ‘untimely’ got in, but which would not

find their equivalent in Chinese terminology and besides the point.

At best, designations can be taken to mean that, all else being equal, then

given the choice between taking ‘a’ Star 8 or ‘a’ Star 3 into action during

Period 8, the former would take precedence. It just means that, given ‘a’

certain Star as Ling Xing, more effort would be needed in order to take the

‘outside Yun’ Star into benevolence. However, nothing comes in place of

the Mountain and Water Principle, as in fact, anything else comes after

that. Then follow a number of other adjustments in our Fei Xing toolbox,

while using table with 81 Star Combinations comes after nothing.

During Period 7, Star 7 is Wang or Prosperous. It is the Commanding

Star and it carries the most vital Qi. It should

be used at all times and looked after during

the whole of Period 7, either as it appears as

the Mountain Dragon or as the Water Dragon

as fortune relies on Star 7 most directly.

During Period 7, Star 8 is Sheng, or growing in vitality. It is the second

USING STARS IN FENG SHUI PERIOD 8

During Period 8, Star 8 is Wang or Prosperous. It is the Commanding

Star and it carries the most vital Qi. It should

be used at all times and looked after duringthe whole of Period 8, either as it appears as

the Mountain Dragon or as the Water Dragon

as fortune relies on Star 8 most directly.

During Period 8, Star 9 is Sheng, or growing in vitality. It is the second

most timely Qi to tap into during Period 8,

but its power is not yet strong enough that

we would use it without having also minded

the Prominent Dragon 8.

During Period 8, Star 1 is Sheng also, but farther away even than Star

9 as it is only the distant future Wang Qii

during Period 8 and only yet enjoying its

earlier stages of vibrancy. It is only slightly

growing in vitality, but even though its

effects not instantaneous or all too obvious,

it can be Used.

During Period 8, Star 7 may be appearing as just Shuai, declining,

but it may cast its detrimental portents

immediately after its own Period and should

GANZHI CALENDAR

If we take the Chinese Solar

calendar as to start under the

reign of emperor Huang Di 黄帝 in 2637 BC, it is actually able to

cover rather immense time

periods back and forth, such as

the Great Year 25,920 years for

the Precession Cycle.

Mostly, we would handle

manageable portions of 180

years each, divided into Upper

Cycle, Middle Cycle and Lower

Cycle, each spanning 60 years.

This calendar divides portionsof 180 years by 10 to get to

Ten Heavenly Stems (Gan),

then 12 to get to Twelve

Earthly Branches (Zhi), such

that, once conjoined, 60 Stem-

Branch combinations are

R IDICULE

Not counting Heaven’s Heart, each house has 16 Star combinations going

on between Mountain Dragon and Water Dragon. You will have noted that

the table with 81 Star Combinations would mostly have us look at Starcombinations as producing sickness and disaster. Let’s look at that more

closely and supposing out of those 16 such Star combinations in any Flying

Star chart, no more than 2 such Star combos would bode mishap.

There will be currently 7 billion people on the planet, but let’s not take

that, and stay with just 120 million households in USA alone, with an

average household size of 2.6, that’s a lot of Flying Star charts and a good

314 million people being affected. Let’s take away half, to make up for all

those houses with one way or another all the right Form and Qi in place, so

that ‘bad’ portents wouldn’t have a chance of bringing misfortune. That still

leaves us with a good 60 million households with Form and Qi somehow

failing Flying Star Feng Shui prescriptions, affecting 156 million people.

Not counting Time Stars, that is a two-fold 5 Yellow for any house, Star 2

twice for any house, if we stay with just only Mountain Dragon and Water

Dragon and that’s not even involving annual- and monthly Stars 2 and 5.

Let’s be sporty and omit those disorders that would be all too terminal,


34/51

Least of all would we tell client that he has

such and such Star combination (any

software does that), then give him what is in

the table, then link client to our (or

anyone’s) website that would give him the

fitting statue, Chinese coins or bracelet. To

even speak in terms of Feng Shui cures or

remedies was already supposing sickness at

the realm of just planetary energy.

Some of those gadgets easily cost up to USD1,000, so if we take away a third of that, it

be still USD 300 for each ‘fix’, which if we

had to ‘cure’ 4 Stars for each house as an

absolute minimum requirement for staying

‘healthy’ and ‘safe’, that would be USD

1,200 per year, then once more year after,

because – so it is being claimed - changing

magnitudes would prescribe that, so before

long you could have easily afforded that on

just a physical check up every so now and

then, some health food and a burglar alarm.

FENG SHUI IS TO BRING WHAT?

Balance and Harmony you said?

Officially, ok. Client calls the

Feng Shui consultant, after his

webs ite sa id th at Fe ng Shui wa sto bring balance and harmony .

That’s promising enough, so,

wi th ot he rw is e hi s li fe goin g

well fo r th e cl ie nt , he st il l th in ks

it wouldn’t hurt to be somewhat

minding the energetic structure

of the house. He invites theconsultant in an ticipation.

By the time the consultant

leaves, client would be breaking

down from both his ankles, as it

wo ul d su dd enly se em ho w

‘bankruptcy’, if not, terminal

disease in such and such organ.

Not just that, client no longer

has a house or ‘a’ Star 5 on his

desk, but came in all adjectives,

so his is now a ‘terrible’ house

and a ‘disastrous’ Water Dragon


35/51

35

For example, let’s listen to what two imaginary masters have to say:

One claims: “Water Dragons are good for Wealth”, full stop.

The other says: “W ATER DRAGONS are Yang, active, mobile and cause forevents. Whether these events turn out to be favorable will depend on many

factors such as timeliness, direction, proportion, location, regularity,

magnitude, distance, Form and Qi, use, transportation, distribution and if

all these are in support of each other and within context, while, if then not

at the same time also being challenged by wrong timing or Sha Qi, Water

Dragons may portent favorable events. If all that in place - and on top of

this people healthy and enterprising -, events may then eventually

culminate into WEALTH ”.

Well, the former is just short for the latter, but you can see how the

ancient master using the longer description would have soon lost his

audience, while his colleague using the short version would be the one with

most clients, but see, he would want to pull in more clients than that even.

The scheme is, if then he’s also the one to proclaim the s i ckness , it will

be assumed that he must also have the med ic ine. The client then has the

sickness and the medicine, the consultant his clients. This becomes evident

with such blunt phrases as “Star 2 causes sickness, Star 5 causes disaster”.

Water Dragons

Water Dragons are for events, rather not ‘wealth’. Wealth comes with

sustained labor and being out there day in and day out to perform and be

minding your networking. If we describe beneficial properties of a Water

Star, generally it is assuming a one-on-one relationship between a certain

Water Star and a supporting environmental feature coming under the Water

Principle, like an actual body of water, open land or a road. Waters, roads

and pathways are a vehicle to Qi, and can have Yang Qi flow towards or

away from a location into and from any of the eight magnetic directions.

Water Dragons, apart from money and career associations, manage youractive life, the quality and skill you employ to manage life out there and

the style in which you seek to achieve your goals. We say that, ‘timely’

Water Dragons and those that are not antagonized – e.g. Water Star 7

alongside a Star 8 -, will lead to positive events, ‘untimely’ Water Dragons

or those otherwise under ill influence – e.g. Water Star 7 or Water Star 8

but with a Star 3 -, may render the person less sensitive toappropriateness in behavior or action, in other words the means through

which money is being generated and the style of approach into society,

may play a minor role of importance, even if it involves unethical means.

Presence or absence of H2O - location, direction, intensity, volume -, tell us

if and in what way Water Dragons’ intrinsic potential may be awakened and

81 STAR COMBINATIONS

The descriptions to introduce a Star are formulated by me - while still

largely within context of conventions native to Fei Xing Feng Shui - the Star

connotations to come under such listings as 1-1, 1-2, 1-3 et cetera are not.

Star 1 White

Star 1 Water is closely linked to kidney, bladder and the reproductive system

in both males and females. Star 1 further governs lymphatic system, blood,

ears, joints, hair, skin, libido. It is associated with the middle son or matured

males. Also associated with loneliness, abandonment, theft, darkness, death,

suicide and sex. Star 1 is also one of the Literary (Academic) Stars, and so-

called fortunate White Stars (1,6 and 8). Star 1 (together with Star 4) was

considered Untimely but Usable during Period 7. Starting Period 8, Star 1 will

be considered Distant Future Ruling Star and we need to nourish it in Period 8.

1 – 1 being away from home (in)voluntary (water can’t be restricted).

Alcohol. Drowning. Burglary. Cheating. Criminal affairs. Reproductive

organs. Prostitution. Sex industry. Two (possibly homosexual) males.1 – 2 Divorce. Female domination. Conflict between husband and wife.

Abdominal pain or gyneacological problems in women. Kidney problems

stemming from the stomach.

1 – 3 Quarrels and lawsuit. Rich and famous. Theft or outflow of money.

Aggressive or impulsive behavior. Moving away, be on a trip.


38/51

38

Star 2 Black

2 Earth Star governs digestive system (stomach, spleen, pancreas), more

specifically stomach. It is associated with the womb (hence black), pregnancy,

abdominal region, mother and older females. It is considered highly auspicious

– inviting health and fertility (read: many and good children) - only in its own

Period (for the duration of Feng Shui Period 2) – and even under the exact

right circumstances able to bring great wealth -, but it is widely considered one

of the Evil Stars and Stars of Illness immediately outside its own Yun (Period).

2 – 1 Divorce. Conflict between husband and wife, wife rejects husband,

abdominal pain. Abortion, miscarriage. Sickness of the reproductive

system. Impotence. Problem with hair or ear.

2 – 2 One of stronger portents for sickness, especially with 5 or 2 flying in or

in the Kun Palace. Be mindful if this combination occurs in the South or

with Star 9. Widow. Two (possibly homosexual) females.

2 – 3 Bull fight Sha. Conflict, arguments, combat, lawsuit, disharmonies.

Problems for mother. Another reading says: son harassing mother-in-

law, pointing to the possibility that a male violates a woman. However,

before we go out to judge the man, it may be interesting to consider

how during Period 8, Star 2 is untimely and evil, which means we may

be dealing with an aggressive woman, whom may have then provoked

the abuse. Star 3 is leg, Star 2 is belly and womb, so it may be that in

its most severe reading, the woman is hurt at the belly (while

pregnant).


39/51

39

Star 3 Jade

3 Wood Star governs liver and gall bladder, legs and arms. It is associated

with the eldest son, middle-aged men and husband. It was considered untimely

and detrimental during Period 7, but it is considered Untimely but Usable

during Period 8. Star of ambition, inventions, sales, moving to take a trip,

social life, ranking, determination, persistence, impulse, gambling, stubborness

and fairly easy to aggravate or irritate.

3 – 1 Lawsuit, obstinacy, agression, liver problems stemming from drinking.

Animal bites and attacks.

3 – 2 Trouble between mother and son. Quarrels, conflict, arguments,combat, lawsuit, disharmony.

3 – 3 Ruthless behavior and boldness. Nervous breakdown. May all too well

lead to hyperactivity, anxiety. Sudden theft.

3 – 4 Mental disorder. Competition between son and daughter. Hyper

situations. Female approaching male. Good for sales and orders,

transport.3 – 5 Delinquency, getting into trouble because of money (gambling,

speculation). Car accidents. Liver cancer. Infections of stomach, spleen

and pancreas.

3 – 6 Lame middle age man, father confronts or hurts elder son. Headache.

Can injure legs or loose money (3 is eldest son, and eldest son would


40/51

40

Star 4 Green

4 Wood Star governs liver and gall bladder, it is connected to the thy and it

may depict pulmonary problems. Star 4 is governed by Trigram Wind and it

represents the capacity to breath, the chest area. It is associated with the

eldest daughter or middle-aged women. Star 4 is also one of the Stars of

Romance (Peach Blossom) and it can introduce arts besides immorality, and

lead to drinking, unethical behavior, unfaithfulness. Birth of daughters. It was

Untimely but Usable during Period 7. During Period 8, Star 4 may have

exhausted much of its auspicious portents, and it should be taken care of.

4 – 1 When meeting good Form and Qi, this combo is splendid for studies,

romance (Peach Blossom), reputation, career and worship. Man

approaching a female. When under ill Form and Qi, may cause breathing

problems, unfaithfulness, superficial romance, failing exams.

4 - 2 Spleen disorder, woman harassing mother-in-law, threats to women

especially aimed at mother in law by daughter in law, abdominal illness.

4 - 3 Male approaching female. Nervous system problems for women. Male

agression against female, probably by cheating. Theft.

4 - 4 Peach blossom. Bad odor. Asthma, respiratory diseases. Suicide by

hanging.

4 - 5 Tumor or cancer of breast, infectuous illnesses of the chest and

respiratory capacity compromised. Illness or ailments in lower abdomen.


41/51

41

5 Yellow

In terms of Fei Xing Feng Shui and except during its own Period, 5 Earth is

associated with accident and misfortune, especially when found with a Star 2

or another Star 5, a Star 9 or in the Li (Fire) Palace. Star 5 can be also easily

challenged, aggrevated or irritated, so we also need to be mindful in case we

find Star 5 controlled by Star 3 or by Star 4 even. It should be taken care off

at all times and it is associated with accidents and mishap. During its own

Period (inside Yun) it is believed that Star 5 invites great fortune, wealth,

success and authority. It governs the digestive system, more specifically

pancreas. It is regarded the Emperor, but we cannot know if we deal with a

noble or a tyrannic emperor. On the other hand, and besides the more widely

discussed and accepted properties of this Star being intrusive, violent, easily

aggravated and instrumental in accidents (possibly even self afflicted and

actual fighting) or prison time, I believe that Star 5 is being gravely

underestimated through this type of descriptions, or treated injustly, where I

also believe that Star 5 – once understood and once its secrets are unlocked –

can bring considerable success and personal autonomy and authenticity. At the

same time, we need to be mindful concerning this Star.

5 – 1 Cancer in the reproductive system. Deafness. Sexual problems and

problems with libido. Hair loss.

5 – 2 Death in husband and wife. Abdominal diseases. Psychosis, especially

when in company of Star 9. Coma. Should not be left unattended. See

under 2-5.


42/51

42

6 White

6 Metal Star is one of the Military Stars and it may depict a sudden impact

(“Sudden Stop”). However, its military reign may still be just and fair. It

governs the lungs and large intestine and is associated with the lower jaw. It

also governs the head and skull. It is associated with father and elderly men.

It was considered untimely but hardly unfriendly during Period 7 (Star 6 is one

of the so-called White Stars), but it is considered Untimely but Usable during

Period 8. It means we can work on the Star 6 during Period 8 more

successfully, but we must not expect too drastic or quick results from it. Star

of long life, dedication, determination, advancement, morals, leadership.

6 – 1 Peach blossom. High rank in military. Good for literary pursuits.

Weakening the father/male head of family.

6 – 2 Women’s disease. Abdominal pains.

6 – 3 Headache. Broken legs. Hurt by metal. Car accident.

6 – 4 Separation. Careful with females.

6 – 5 Stroke. Bone cancer. Loss of job. Lung disease. Natural disasters.

6 – 6 Lawsuit. Good for money. Lung disease. Family quarreling. Authority

clash.

6 – 7 Conflict, combat and competition between brothers, armed robbery,

death by metal. Metal in battle.

6 – 8 Rich and famous. Success in business, especiallly real estate or owning


43/51

43

7 Red

Like Star 6, Star 7 is considered a military Star (Po Jun Star in the Big Dipper:

“Breaker of Armies”), but its military reign may be more likely injust, vicious

and destructive, especially out of its own Period or otherwise challenged. It

governs the large intestine, the upper jaw, the teeth and the mouth. It isassociated with the youngest daughter, young girls, females, wife. It is

connected to the 1 Water Trigram and the kidneys (and therefore associated

with libido, romance, and also blood) through its upper Trigram line (Yao). It is

associated with knives and cuts, gossip and bad-mouthing. Star 7 is often

wrongly translated as ‘Lake’. A lake would be more likely coming under the 1

Water Trigram. A better translation for the Star 7 Trigram would be ‘Marsh’.

7 – 1 Robbery (probably armed and fairly violent). Brothel. Possible romance

outside relationship. Flirting.

7 – 2 Fire hazard, especially in the South, Southwest or West or when

accompanied by Star 9, or sharp pointy objects such as mountain.

7 – 3 Unexpected gain in business. Older man approaching younger woman.

Financial trouble.

7 – 4 Lawsuit, broken marriage. Breathing problems.

7 – 5 Poisoning, drug abuse.

7 – 6 Conflict, combat, armed robbery, death.

7 – 7 Two females. Superficiality, small talk.


44/51

44

8 White

8 Earth Star is associated with success and the youngest son and young men.

It governs the abdominal region, the digestive system – more specifically the

spleen - and it governs the smaller bones in the body (fingers, toes, ribs,

nose). Star 8 is considered one of the fortunate White Stars, 1,6 and 8 and itis appreciated for its nobility and steadfastness. With bad Form and Qi, Star 8

can cause disloyalty and rioting. It also depicts built structures and it reads

‘Revolution and Change’. Currently, Star 8 is the Commanding Star during

Period 8 (2004-2024), the most Prominent Star.

8 – 1 Diseases of the reproductive system and ears. When taken well care of,

can be still successful.

8 – 2 Abdominal problems. High rank.

8 – 3 May compromise young children. No children. Suicide.

8 – 4 May compromise young children. Divorce.

8 – 5 Good for money. Nose cancer. Idiocy.

8 – 6 Succesful. Happy events. Career advancement.

8 – 7 Success in romance and getting rich.

8 – 8 Although we find a combination of two Stars 8 and we may expect

splendid outcome, must still adjust appropriately.

8 – 9 Happy events, like weddings.


45/51

45

9 Purple

9 Fire Star is associated with energy in its highest state of waxing.

It governs the heart and small intestine, the tongue, the eyes and speech. It is

associated with the middle daughter. Its portents often depend on the

accompanying Star, in company of a fortunate Star, Star 9 shows itsbenevolence, in company of an evil Star, Star 9 joins forces with Sha. We are

especially mindful when Star 9 joins forces with Star 2 and/or Star 5. Star 9

can lead to immense success and promotion.

9 – 1 Peach blossom. Heart disease. Talking too much or being silent. Skin

disease. Eye problems. Miscarriage.

9 – 2 Gynecological problems.

9 – 3 Lawsuit. Prison, Liver disease. Intelligent child (son).

9 – 4 Inappropriate sexual affairs. Two females coming together.

9 – 5 Mentally retarded, blindness, poisoning by drugs and medicine, injury,

death, accident. Stupid desicions, fragmentaric thinking and producing

ill result.

9 – 6 Brain disease. Lung disease.

R EADING THE STARS Some samples, following Fei Xing convention, adjustments along Wuxing.

1-1 Stagnation, to be solved with Wood, in

order to promote flow of Qi. Can be brothel,

especially with 1-1 in Heaven’s Heart, in the

Facing or Sitting Palace or at the door.

7-1 Young man1 to approach daughter7,

especially with annual or monthly Star 4

arriving at the door. Use Earth to keep 1

Water in check and sustain the female, who

may seem vulnerable to approach

appearing as a Mountain Dragon.

1-2 So-called divorce combo for supposed

female domination. Introduce Metal to focus

attention away and have Star 2 engender

Metal, rather than compromise Water.

1-5 In order to help dissolve the strong

pressure cast upon Star 1, introduce Metal

to tempt the Earth of 5 Yellow and give

some slight Wood to keep Earth in check.

Some Wood will be already available if

combo appears in the 4 Wood Palace.

2-2 Only during Period 2 would this be a

Double Sitting structure, when it would

have required elevation across from the

Sitting Palace and a door in the Sitting wall.

Combo 2-2 bodes stagnation, sickness,

moreso when in the Li (Fire) Palace. May

install a Calabash and introduce Metal on

Star 2. Sickness energy associated with

Star 2 is said to go into the Calabash.

Especially when found in bedroom,

indication for 2 females in a relationship.

2-6 So-called Monk and Nun structure.

Emphasize on symbiotic (brother-sister)

marriage with mutual spiritual interests.

Man being away from home (active Water

Star 6) a lot. Be mindful of so-called

‘spirits’ when annual- or monthly Star 5

arrives as 2-5-6 bodes fragmentaric and

unfocused thinking, prone to accident due

mind wandering off. To the Chinese, ghosts

and spirits holds much more than just

entities, as it indicates a frame of mind.

9-5 Associated with ‘stupid decisions’ and

unexpected events. For an office, the

business may go nowhere. Star 5 may

invite sudden inflow of money and work,

just as it can leave you without work and

considerable outflow of money. Have the

Noble Star take care of the Water Dragon 5

by creating a pathway from the Prominent

Water Dragon to where Star 5 is. Also,

make sure to install a chiming clock with a

moving pendulum on Water Dragon 5.

Other – more subtle - relations between Stars can be established, e.g.

those connecting Stars through exterior or interior pathways. An example

is the Bull Fight Sha combination between Stars 2 and 3, known for causing

lawsuits and arguments.

An example of Qi distribution and Qi

transportation, where the Water Dragon 3

can be carried by a river, a road, a slope,

an intersection of roads or a stream, traffic

or people approaching the house, and be

transported into the house through the

Mountain is for people, meaning the quality

of Mountain produces the quality of people,

character, temperament, nobility. Good

mountain promotes many children, but is

only one of prerequisites, as primary would

be for people to sustain a healthy diet and

way of life. This will produce healthy people

who will produce many healthy children and

this will add hands to help with the harvest,

so ultimately this will lead to wealth.

Star 7 is associated with Trigram Marsh

(Dui) and associated with mouth, knife,

utensils. With a good mountain, the house

may produce singers, great speakers and

skilled surgeons. With an ugly Fire Mountain

(sharp, poorly vegetated, rocky, containing

ill - acid - soil), especially with the

mountain pointing at the house and with

the wrong timing, the house may produce

serious bad-mouthing, battles, robbers or

murderers.

“Wealth is what you control” is an

expression most frequently used in Chinese

Feng Shui and Four Pillars of Destiny.

It implies that an element or Star under

control of another element or Star produces

wealth. A building can represent one of the

Five Transformations. Water Dragon 6 –

Metal - controls the Guest building, which is

of the Wood phase.

Metal controls Wood. It is auspicious when the Host controls the Guest,

while it is inauspicious when the Guest controls the Host, which would have

been the case in above example if Star 6 was controlled by any

considerable exterior Fire feature.

Water flowing in from the East, transporting

Water Dragon 2 towards the house. This is

a bad feature, as we would prefer to see

Mountain into the direction of Water Dragon

2.

Furthermore the water would be flowing
