Hello! I just moved into a new basement apartment in a duplex. I am doing a flying star chart and had some questions as to whether some renovations that have been done would effect the period of the house (or just the basement apartment). Points to note: 1. The house was originally built in 1959 as a duplex with separate entrances. 2. We just moved in 1-1-2011. 3. We found out that the current upstairs neighbor used to be the owner and sold the house in 2006. 4. The basement apartment has undergone several renovations under the new ownership including: a) enlarging the windows in both of the bedrooms and enclosing them with wood boxes (standard legality for basement apartments so the window can be used as a fire escape). The walls had to be cut for this and the ground had to be dug and enclosed with wood. b) Also in 2006 the new owner added new carpet on 90% of the floors. The ceilings and all the walls were repainted about the same time and the bathroom was renovated. Then he rented the place to new occupants who lived here until we moved in recently. 5. Also the basement apartment was legally registered as a duplex at the same time in 2006 and acquired it's own separate address and mailbox. Does this qualify for a period change from 5 to 8? Thanks for your help!

Greetings! My girlfriend and I are possibly going to be moving into a period 7 house facing N2. According to our chart the period star and water star of each sector adds up to a "sum of ten" and appears to be very auspicious (if activated properly). I'm a little concerned though because it is a period 7 house with double 7's in the water and mountain positions of the facing palace. Does the double 7 override the sum of ten at the door? And do I need to be concerned with whether this could create bad chi for us in this period? I've also read that you need to have good form to take advantage of the sum of ten. The front yard has a big tree close to the house but not blocking the door, and two smaller pine trees by the road. I'm not sure if this qualifies as having a clear front (or phoenix?). The door is actually facing E2 but the house faces N2, so I wonder if this creates and confusion to the chi entering the house. It is almost a rectangle except for the front of the house where the door, living room and master bedroom extend further than the left side. I also wonder how I can create a mountain in the back. There is a privacy fence... could hedge bushes qualify? Or do I need something else? Many thanks and blessings! George & Erin
