Please refer to this map
Feng Shui readings:
The blue office is the flour stock exchange office, it is on the side of the tram rail with a water tower and church clock tower on the opposite side of the road.
The designated office was on the 2nd floor of the office building, the facing direction has a tall water tower. Referring to the flying chart, there was a wood element Star 4 at the facing (money star) direction, with the water tower (water element) generation energy for Star 4 which is an auspicious sign. Moreover, Star 4 is also the future period auspicious star.

On the left hand side of the chart, there is a fire element star 9, this is energy fading out for Star 4 (money star in this case), which is not preferable. The church clock tower on the same direction which belongs to metal element can act as a destructive media for the fire element to weaken it off.

Time: Flying star Period 3, year 1904-1923
Facts: Business was good during period 3 especially excellent in year 1924. From year 1932 onward, it started to deteriorate.
Please refer to this layout
When we check the flying stars chart for a business shop, the money star at the facing direction is very important. In this case, the facing star is where the entrance is and there is a window on the right hand side. This feature which allows fresh air and energy from the outside entering the premises.
In the language of fengshui, this is an energy cycle, when auspicious stars appears here, this is a good sign for money coming in, if on the other hand, then is will be the opposite affect.
On time wise, we have to make reference to the flying star chart for period three.
As indicated above, the entrance has star three during period three which is auspicious and window has star eight. When star three and eight linked together, it means wood element.
During year 1924, in the same area, star one and six together make water element. Water element generates energy for wood element, as a result, during year 1924, business improves a lot.
On the other hand, during year 1932, in the same area, star 2 and seven appear and make fire element. Based on the same theory, wood element was generating energy for the fire, which means energy fading away, this was obviously not a good signal for business.
In this case, it clearly indicates that when we look into stars combo, the phenomena of elements cycle is affecting the performance of stars.

Case study 1 is from year 1908, this was cycle two in Wuxi , Jiangsu Province. House owner gave birth to four daughters and his parents were desperate for a boy grandchild, so they seek Fung Shui master came to their house and to check if Feng Shui can help them to find the problem and find an effective solution.
This is the floor plan of the house.
Direction: locate in the south and facing north.
Rooms: A, B, C, D and spare room.
House owner and his wife were using room A, B and C, these rooms were with Star 7 stands for youngest daughter, Star 2 stands for mother and Star 9 stands for middle daughter. Obviously these are all female stars, and thats why when they are spending a lot of time in these rooms, it is hard to have a son. At this time, they should live in the room with a star stands for male.
Referring to the flying stars chart above, room D was with a Star 3 which stands for the older son which is the star they should be looking for. As the result, the fs master advised them to swap room to room D and get pregnant with a son soon.
As stated with a dotted line in the floor plan diagram, this line stands for the walkway and it is from room C to D, as we can see there is a Star 9 in room C, this star is the prosperity star which carries an auspicious message. Walking this path can eventually active this star and carried the strength into room D with a male star can boost the stars energy.
The master also mentioned that the spare room was also to avoid, since it has star 5 which is the dead energy star from the last cycle and also the Five yellow star means wars and chaos, so it is a benefit to avoid.
水入明堂 Water (money) flows into the building area
水神流到宅前開陽處。謂「撥水入明堂」。流神之水要經過穴前為吉。如水從遠方來,。到宅前「空 轉」反跳「不入堂」。或經過宅前無關收。水神當面直流「牽動元辰」。縱富也不能長。
明堂如龜脊。水瀉千里。謂「水不入堂」。所以水是以「引水入到明堂」為貴。不必拘其大小。看見為真。遠朝為虛。
是以前有橫列峰巒。或外有層層大廈引進來水。是為吉應。能聚滙於明堂。更得元運嘉會。則發福尤深。
This explains the manner of water flow (money star in Feng shui language), what statues is preferable.
This is about the open space in front of a building or location, how to introduce the money star to flow into this space in order for the people who stay in the building to benefit from this blessings.
挨星之法 How to get the precise locate directions in flying stars?
挨星之法是當合元運之旺星挨到生旺處。如八運陰星挨排到高山實地。人灯自旺。八運陽星挨到水裡處。生旺發財。
When we try to draw up a flying star chart, we have to start with identifying the locate and facing directions. For the locate direction, we have to match with the current cycle flying star (i.e. Star 8 the Prosperity star from now until 2023). The mountain star should be at the back of the property where a high decent hill could be seen, this is a direct blessings to the people‘s health who live in the property.
The water star should be at the front of the property where flowing water is near, this is also a direct blessings to the people’s fortune.
一言曰。收山出煞。
則是山不在高。有仙則名。
水不在深。有龍則靈。
In Chinese feng shui flying stars, mountains and water are two critical elements lead to auspicious. When we refer to hill, that is not the height we are focusing, is the shape instead. When we talk about water, it is not about the depth but the flowing manner rather.
挨星常取四大局：
到山到向（後有山。前現水）
上山下水（後現水。前有山）
雙星到向（前有山。前現水）
雙星到座（後有山。後現水）
In FS flying star charts, there are four main layouts.
1. Mountain star at the back and water star at the front.
2. Water star at the back and mountain star at the front.
3. Both mountain and water stars at the front.
4. Both mountain and water stars at the back.
How to rule Feng shui when there are difference between buildings height? 吉凶方高
When we look at the feng shui of modern residential area, we maybe confused as different buildings have different height, then how to clarify what is good and what is bad?
城市裡建築物高高低低，到底怎樣才是好風水？
Here is a general guideline. When we draw up the flying star chart, we use the high object to locate the mountain star. If the mountain star is at an auspicious direction, when a current year lucky star flies on it, then this will bring a positive intersection i.e. generate extra energy for the lucky star.
我們找出所在地坐向，起玄空飛星盤，找出巒頭和應星吉兇。
If the star lies on it is and bringing an confliction to the mountain star, then this is ruled as inauspicious. In contrast, if the mountain star is at an inauspicious status, then with a current year flying star lies on it to generate energy to it, this will then boost up its negative impact. If a confliction is introduced, then it is ruled as positive. (just like weakening a bad energy, therefore, it’s positive).
當巒頭配合吉星便吉應，相反飛星和巒皆凶便不吉。
七赤星 Star No.7 the Violence star
七赤本性暴烈。毀折。剛金決。此星排在六吉星之後。是赤紅之光耀。
所名「破軍星」。得運勢如破竹。出運兵敗如山倒。
星運加臨時。利少女。以聲悅人。倡優墨客。以柔附剛為妾之象。更出巫人術士。作法斂財。
失運時。七星所到之方。破壞毀滅。民間疾苦。人無立錐之地。故宅內外得此凶星處。人多官訟生非。肺癆厲疾瘋喘。有損孩童。
術士常用化解方法。多在七赤星之處。取水化之。或當年太歲加臨處。供俸北帝一尊。
貼身食物（黑曜石）。
Feng shui flying star No.7 ~ the violence star
From its name, it tells this star is good at triggering violence power in circumstances, when it is at the located direction, then this is likely to take place.

When it is out of powerful period, it can lead to destroying energy, since it represents war, so people in general will lose their home and families, and even legal disputes or litigation, on health, it can often brings respiratory diseases.
Solution: experts often use water to weaken off the energy of this star. Black crystal pillar is one of the choice.

風水 Chinese Geomancy ~ Feng Shui
古稱勘輿。是用來選擇宮殿。村落選址。墓地建設等方法及原則。原意是選擇合適的地方的方法。相傳風水的創始人是九天玄女。是中國歷史悠久的一門玄術。也稱青烏。青囊。後期加入陰陽學說。先天及後天八卦。易經。河圖。洛書等。從此把風水術進行學術化。
In the old days, Feng shui is a set of skill that people used to choose the location from palace or build a village to tomb grave yard. As time goes by, slowly it has been adding the yin & yang concept, i-ching and five elements theory into it, until it gradually becomes what it is today.
風水名義
所謂葬乘生氣一詞。
何以察之。
氣來有水導之。
氣止有水界之。
氣聚無風散之。
故要得水藏之。
又曰。氣乃水之母。有氣斯有水。即得水為先。故水聚風藏。言之無風則氣取。得水則氣融。故名風水。
Within the term of Feng shui, what does it cover?
It focuses on active energy, how does it work?
Water flows lead to active energy, when water flows across, it cut off the energy flow too.
Active energy stays when no wind blows. Whenever a place has wind blowing all the time, energy won’t stay.

In feng shui way of speaking, we all have corridor in the house, no matter long or short, we would prefer a bright one no matter at which end. We do not want dark area in a house especially residential home.

This is especially serious if flying star No.2 comes to a darkened hallway entrance. To prevent these from happening, just like a bright light to keep it clear all the time.
中國銅錢 Chinese Antique Coins
中原文化可上溯於遠古。文化歷來都用帝皇統一思想。帝皇就是天下。天下就是皇帝所屬。則有所謂家天下。一家之姓。
因此皇帝之種族就為龍種。龍就是至高無上。天之驕子。皇帝便是天的化身。統領天下擁有天下的一切了。
錢幣是皇家鑄造的。用在民間買賣流通。每一流通處則帝皇權力所在。因而每一朝代。都有皇帝開元的寶號鑄名。代表每一個皇朝的統治。
如今常用的風水擺設用品中。銅錢也成了主要化煞用品。取其皇權壓服盡除一切凶煞又可生財。所以為風水師傅常用於趨財化煞的手段。
現今常見的「五帝錢」是為清朝五位最鼎盛之皇帝開元寶號：
順治皇帝
康熙皇帝
雍正皇帝
乾隆皇帝
嘉慶皇帝
According to Chinese history, the concept of the King stands for the ultimate superior upon the land of China and covers absolutely all people on this piece of land. Upon the particular period of a particular King, he stands for the culture, history and thinking and this refers to the royal family too.
Base on this tradition and culture, each King has its own coins which is a symbol of his throne.
In the language of Chinese Feng Shui, the king also represents ultimate auspicious and power. Therefore, people like to use the five different king’s coins as a Feng Shui tools to boost blessings and scare off unwanted energy.

Emperor Shinzi 順治皇帝
Emperor Kangxi 康熙皇帝

How do we read the auspiciousness of the nine Feng Shui flying stars?
The Feng Shui flying star system is for experts to read whether the location and layout from Feng Shui point of view is auspicious or not, one important factor is time scale.
As time changes, lucky directions may change or the lucky aspects may change from one to another. As we all know, there are nine cycles in total and each cycle dominates by a single star which last for twenty years. Each of them has its best blessings and the worst curse when the twenty is coming to an end, the curse blessings will kick off just like the pandemic at the end of the Star No.8 prosperity star.
These blessings and curse can be related to a person or to a country on the whole. It is an infinite cycle without stop.
巨門第二星（凶星）Flying Star No.2 ~ Illness Star
九星當中排在第二位置。常作凶星看待。這星暗淡無光。所到之處。眾人多生疾若。
又破家蕩產。不利兒孫或出寡母。如遇天災更一發難收。赤地千里。
所以在風水中呼名“病符星”。取意多難之時人無立錐之地。因此家中有此悪星必化解之。
化解方法：
在其方位常用五行中的金屬解救。因二黑星屬於土類。所以可用金的物質轉化能量。將凶神化平和之炁。
選擇物品中可用中國的元寶或西方的能量柱。如金髮水晶之類。
Flying star no.2 is the most popular chaotic star and it triggers the energy on illness. The chaotic energy of this star is way too scary than its positive energy. When the twenty years it dominates has passed, its chaotic energy kicks off and its located direction generally suffer from illness.
Apart from illness, bankruptcy is also popular. This star is also not beneficial to family offsprings and can easily result in widow. This is due to illness star is originate from “Kun” bagua 坤卦 and that’s the hexagram for mother. If this star’s chaotic energy has been kicked off, natural disasters are also commonly seen.
Solutions:
Illness star belongs to earth element, and it generates metal energy. When we refer to the five elements theory, energy will lose when it generate its next energy. Due to this factor, we can weakened the strength of the illness star when we install decorations made from metal or we can also use crystal balls in white or gold color.

First of all, we can tell from its name, it is famous in delivering prosperity energy during the specific year.
The basic feature of this star is quiet. When it is strong (the early period of years), it deliver a blessings of wealth and fortunes with savings for the general public. Since it is located in the northeast direction where the Gen bagua (艮卦) on the bagua diagram, it stands for the youngest son, so he is the main character that are being blessed.
This star is also auspicious for business and trading, population growth and academic field such as university and tertiary studies.
On the other hand, when its energy starting to weaken (towards the last period of years), its negative effects will generally become obvious. Such as people will become more religious wise, more people will turn for superstitious energy. More families will be separated, people will fall in sickness.
For our house, try to avoid directly facing cemeteries, temples, building corners etc. (can also put a metal turtle or monkey to wipe out the destructing energy).
天斬煞 A thin gap between two high rise buildings
城市常見壞風水之一種。對住在周圍的人有著相關影響。如圖片所見兩座建築物之間。
有着罅隙。對看有如一刀劈開一半。在風水學當中叫天斬煞（凹風）。
常主人易生頭痛。破財損丁投資失利。流年飛星七赤到。更加要出入小心。
When we walk around the city, there are a lot of high rise buildings surround us and of course, there are gaps between buildings.
When we speak in Feng Shui language, this is considered as a bad fs effect. Please refer to the picture below. Let us imagine, if we live in a house that is directly facing one of these gaps, it obviously looks like a big block that has been blade into half in front of you. That does not look peaceful indeed. As a result, in fs way of speaking, this is not delivering an auspicious and peaceful energy to whom who are constantly facing it.
Moreover, where we are staying is facing it, there are strong wind and light beams that are going through the gap all the time, this does not feel comfortable too . As well, the energy in these gaps is not stable, which is not preferable in Feng Shui.
