Hi Anon, The above are advanced level fengshui and must not be messed around with because if it is applied wrong the consequences could mean total disaster especially the castle gate theory. All of the above theories but one(replacement theory) help to improve your wealth/finances. The replacement theory deals more with the loupan reading that is if the reading falls within a certain degree, you cannot use the regular flying star chart.
