flying star VS 8mansion

[liew liew]

Dear all,

How to choose a sector if it is bad in flying star and good in 8mansion ?
Like a main door with 5#facing star but in 8mansion it is Sheng Qi ...

Another 1 is, in flying star...
Btw the natal chart and the annual chart, which one is more important?
Like a house main door facing star is #8 in the natal chart but #5 in the annual....
Should we still activate it?

Hope someone can enlighten me
thank you

best regards,
liew

Hi liew liew,

The common saying in this industry is that you adopt either system, because they are as different as like Chinese Food vs Western Food.  So a lot of enthusiasts tries to decide which system is better and use either one forever.  In actual fact, there are such restaurants that serves fusion food and also able to attract the diners.  Focus on the key differences between each system and blend in the strengths of one of the system to the other.

In certain years or certain conditions the Sheng Qi may be useless or the 5 Yellow may be toothless too. 
However, more important is still your destiny.  If you are running through good luck, a #5 at the door facing star may not harm you while if you are in bad luck even the Sheng Qi at the door may not help you.  I know this sounds a bit disappointing that Fengshui practitioners had less to do to improve their outcome given that everyone's notion is that destiny is fixed.  In actualy fact, solving a problem the "destiny" way is more effective.

Hi Ken,

If there are such conflict then its really hard to understand and decide....
Because each system seem totally different with other.
Jus like a Strong and Weak DM chart. Totally different fav elements...

Thank you so much for ur help.
But wat do u mean by the destiny way....

rgds,

Hi liew liew,

Precisely.  It is hard to understand because each proponent sing praise about their method on their own.  No one has really bothered to integrate these methods on a common platform because they need to spend some time studying the other method and admit the method they adopt is not perfect.  Having said this, I do not mean that there is a perfect method.  It is just that each method's emphasis is  different, there is definitely avenue to integrate them.

The problem with Bazi is also similar.  Each master too busy advocating their method of determining weak or strong that they forget that the root to strong and weak is actually Yin and Yang.

Destiny way is to consider what is the problem with each set of Bazi and do the necessary environmental tuning.

Dear Ken,

You really enligthen me. Thank you.

Lastly please give me your opinions to this....

A main door with 5#facing star but in 8mansion it is Sheng Qi ...then this consider usable or not....?

Another 1 is, in flying star...
Btw the natal chart and the annual chart, which one is more important?
Like a house main door facing star is #8 in the natal chart but #5 in the annual....
Should we still activate it?

Thank you for your sharing,
Liew

You should think about what Ken wrote earlier:

In certain years or certain conditions the Sheng Qi may be useless or the 5 Yellow may be toothless too. 

This is the subtlety of each system. Depending on the surrounding landforms, the resident's kua,  and in which direction the 8 Mansions fall, etc., the Flying Stars and 8 Sectors may be powerful, impotent, or in between. With that analysis, it can be easier to decide what areas are most usable. And the residents' bazi may incline you to use a sector that otherwise would be avoided.

As to Natal vs. Annual...on the one hand the Annual Star has more current effects while natal star is long term. But there is a dynamic between stars and environment as well as between Annual and Natal Star.
For better or worse, there are no simple fool proof answers...that is why lots of study or a careful detailed audit is the route to take.

Dear Master Ken & Seniors,


Your clarification for the above query is indeed enlightening.  So it seems the general guideline that we are governed / influenced by one third of  FS, Destiny and Man luck does strictly apply - our destiny is so important----- sigh to late now




Thank you kindly

The enthusiasts in this industry have been oversold by merchants and service providers on the idea that Feng Shui alone can improve one's life.  Ever wonder why neigbouring staying in the same block on the same apartment facing did not have similar luck and outcomes?  Even members within the same house would not experience the same.

The key difference here is still destiny + choice.

Dear all,

Thank you for your sharing...
i had a question about combination in flying star.
The combi will happen with sitting star and facing star?
annual star ? base star ?

Hope someone can help clear my doubt, Thank you.

Yes, all of those. It is not a simple thing, deciphering the interactions of all of these energies.

But it helps to realize that the effect of the monthly star visiting the annual star in any sector gives information on the current situation.(that activity will be influenced by the natal stars, but in the way a person's up-bringing influences his or her adult behavior).

 The effect of the annual star visiting the mountain star or water star in any sector gives information on the year's situation (influenced by the sector as mentioned above).

 The effect of the mountain star on the water star gives information on the long-term wealth activity (if the sector is used for yang activities), while the effect of the water star on the mountain star gives insight into the long term health effects (if the sector is used for sleeping or similar yin activities).


The effect of any of these stars visiting the gua of the sector informs us on how that visiting star will behave.

As far as i understand,

1) Sitting and facing star are not to be read together. Both of them will appear in all 9 squares, however, only 1 of them will dominant in the square. This domination dependent on the nature of the square.

2) If talking about reading a combination of stars, there is a theory in ancient text (地理精论). In the text, it talks about the host-guest relationship of stars. Simply put, those who 'arrive' first are host, and those that 'arrive' next are guest. host-guest pairs and effects are detailed within the text.
Sequence of arrival:
   a) stars from 元旦盘 (not very necessary)
   b) stars from 运盘
   c) stars from 飞星
   d) stars from 流年飞星
   e) stars from 流月飞星 (not very necessary)

3) There is also another ancient text (紫白诀) that discuss the theory (which I believe is widely used). This theory talks about what happen if 1 meets 9, 2 meets 9, 3 meets 9..., etc.
