How to determine which sector is missing or projection?

[NandM]

Hi master,

may I know for this floor plan, how to see what corners are missing or projection? Balcony facing outwards is North. 

And what are the things need to take note for this floor plan?

 

Thank you master.

Determine the "Center-of-Gravity" of this unit

The main point of the text is that the focus is on identifying the central balance or focal point within a layout plan. This understanding is crucial for achieving an effective basis for plotting a Flying Star Chart

[Cecil Lee]

To determine the **"Center-of-Gravity"** (also known as the central point or focal balance) of a unit in Feng Shui, especially for the purpose of accurately plotting a Flying Star Chart, follow these steps:

Step-by-Step Method

**1. Obtain a Scaled Floor Plan**
- Use a scaled architectural drawing of the entire unit. Make sure the plan includes all enclosed areas, including balconies (if they are part of the living space), bay windows, and irregular extensions.

**2. Outline the Actual Usable Space**
- Trace the perimeter of the entire space, including all extensions that form part of the internal area.
- Exclude external features that do not directly contribute to the internal Qi (e.g., outdoor gardens, non-integrated car parks).

**3. Find the Geometric Center**
- Place the plan on a flat surface.
- Using a ruler, draw two diagonal lines from opposite corners of the floor plan; where these lines intersect is the geometric center.
- For irregularly shaped units, break the plan into simple geometric shapes (rectangles, triangles), find the centers of each, and then calculate the weighted average or visually estimate a central point based on proportion and layout.

**4. Consider Qi Flow**
- While the geometric center is a starting point, assess how Qi actually circulates. The "center-of-gravity" may shift if there are large open spaces, rooms that act as focal gathering points, or architectural features that draw Qi in a specific direction.

**5. Adjust for Functionality**
- Avoid placing the center in areas that are unused, obstructed, or physically segmented (e.g., inside a bathroom, closet, or void space).
- If the geometric center falls outside a practical area, adjust slightly to the nearest usable, open space.

### **Quick Example**

- **Regular Rectangular Unit:**  
  Draw two diagonals between corners. The intersection is your center-of-gravity.

- **Irregular L-Shaped Unit:**  
  Divide into two rectangles. Find the center of each, then estimate a central point that balances both shapes proportionately.

### **Why is this important?**

Identifying the true center is key for **Flying Star Chart** placement. This point serves as the origin for compass measurements and sector division, making sure your Feng Shui assessment reflects actual energy dynamics and not just theory.

Summary

The "Center-of-Gravity" is the central, balanced point within your unit's layout—the anchor from which all Feng Shui calculations and energy assessments emanate. Accurately finding this spot ensures your Flying Star Chart will be plotted correctly, resulting in a more effective and meaningful analysis of your home's Qi flow.
