Thank you. Yes, I am trying to learn Flying Star. I would have posted the question in that forum, but there has been no activity there in over a year.
So, they are simply names for segments of the compass. That's fine. I was simply led to believe there was more significance to them. And one "expert" introduced new names for the mountains within the five-yellow star, which made it very confusing.
If I may, I have another related question: how does one get an accurate compass reading of a building's facing direction? The instructions I've seen simply say to stand in the doorway, or outside the doorway, facing out of or away from the building, and point the compass in the direction you're facing. But, that's incredibly inaccurate for something so important.
I tried on my house, using both a top quality magnetic compass and the compass app on my phone. They didn't agree, or even come close. So, I took readings at found spots with each device, pressing them against the inside of the front door and the wall beside the door, which should give the most accurate readings, I would think. I got 8 different readings. The 4 phone compass readings averaged 339 and the 4 magnetic compass readings averaged 346.5, so I'm calling my house a Jen/Ren/N1 house, based on those. But, 2 of the readings were outside that range, and would have made the house a Hai or NW3 house. Is it always like this?
