Feng Shui and The Hierarchy of the Flying Stars
Flying Stars and the Unseen Magnetic Field
The term “flying stars” is an esoteric way to describe each unseen magnetic field which permeates every structure on the planet. This is a fabric of energy mostly created when building a structure, and there are different types of flying stars.
We have the Construction Period star which is notated with numerical codings, like all the other stars. While these stars have a variety of attributes, in many cases they are indicators of time. For instance, Period 8 is a time frame referring to the current 20-year era of 2004 to 2024. Period 9 is a time frame referring to all other previous Period 9 eras. It also relates to the upcoming 20-year era of 2024 to 2044.
More on Construction Period Influence
The Construction Periods are nine in total. They each last 20 years and then perpetually repeat themselves in order. This Construction Period alone can reveal some general truths about the times we live in. They indicate what may be themes throughout the world economically, technologically, or socially.
When drawing up a Period chart for a house or building, we base this chart on the structure’s initial construction period. This Period star then “splits off” like a flow chart. It creates what are referred to as Mountain Stars and Water Stars (aka, Mountain Dragons and Water Dragons). Generally, these bundles of energy situate themselves into directional zones. They can have the most powerful and enduring impact on the people who dwell in those directional zones of that structure.
There are many schools of feng shui, and one approach is to compare the Period star with the Mountain Star. This occurs to glean information and results in elemental adjustments to space, if necessary. Another approach is to compare the Period Star with the Water Star and see how that influences occupants.
Flying Star Practitioners and Directional Impact
Many Flying Star practitioners place more emphasis on the comparison between the Mountain Star and the Water Star in each direction, and less on the Period Star in each of the eight directions. I have always called the Period star a “shadow” influence. But others may disagree with me.
When it comes to the other stars, such as the annual stars or the monthly stars, all bets are off. Each traditional or individual practitioner places more or less importance on these other more “temporary” stars. Annual and monthly stars are like guests in a home or building. They come and go. One view is that they are not as important because they are transitory. But in other circumstances, we can say that what is happening right now, based on the annual and monthly star, is more critical.
When I do Annual Update reports for clients, it is my job to compare the permanent stars with the changing “visitors.” I also get frequently asked by students for me to list which are the most important stars, but there really is no ultimate, definitive answer.
Good Flying Stars and Good Influences on Us
Let’s say your house normally has “good” flying stars and a good influence on you. But in one year and in one month and even in one day, the transitory stars all join forces. They match up with something that does happen, like a burglary or an accident. We can argue then that the changing energies are having a bigger effect, right then and right there, than the long-term stars. It’s like when someone says, “You aren’t going to have a future unless you take care of what is happening right now!”
And yet another layer is to look at the “stars” which are also referred to as trigrams, based on directionology. We could say for instance that a flying star 5 will be more fueled by the innate fire energy of the south than in the innate metal energy of the west. This flying star 5 may be permanent, annual, monthly or a daily star. We can qualify its potential influence based on what elemental force associates with a particular direction in which it resides.
Ranking the Most Influential Flying Stars
If someone forced me to prioritize the various flying stars, I would probably say that the permanent Mountain Star and Water Star hold rank over the Period star. And I would say that the annual has more impact than the monthly star, with the trigram “star” being the subtlest in its influence.
There are exceptions to this hierarchy, however. When someone wishes to do something in a short time frame, like get pregnant in a certain month, or put their house up for sale on a certain day, then we can and should try to micro-manage these smaller units of time.
The Period Star also becomes relevant in identifying certain “Special House” types. This could be where all three stars in a certain direction, and consistent throughout the whole structure, form a unique pattern of energy.
Working Around Negative Flying Star Energies
One more layer to consider is the function of a room. This is where a Mountain Star may have more influence in a sleeping room. A Water Star may be more influential in a work space.
Other Schools of Feng Shui may place top priority on the personal “star” or birth data of the occupant(s). What may be good for them, may not be good for another person. The good news is that there are often ways to cater to these stars. The bad news is that there will always be conflicting stars in some time frames. I go into greater detail about this in my Case Study Lesson Plan entitled, Conflicting Remedies for the Flying Stars.
