How to read Flying Star Chart

[myfs_116710]

Dear FS Master,

I would like to know in reading Flying Star Chart what method would be most accurate or rather easy to understanding as in 9 grid chart or the pie chart. Some master say divide the floor plan into 9 square while some prefer the pie chart,

Appreciate some understanding on the above.

Thank you

Dear Aloysius,

1. In practise, taking a que from Management Principles: for those who had study or read management principles; just note the key word:

2. "Situational Approach"

So what is this "situational approach?" : It simply means "Most of the time, no two situations are the same".

3. Look at it from another point of view (via Logic):

"There is no RIGHT or WRONG answers"!

4. Flying Star Feng Shui comes in two forms:-

"Horizontal Flying Star" and "Vertical Flying Star"!

4a. What is horizontal Flying star Feng Shui (or chart)?

This is the common Flying Star chart where we either draw a pie or a grid method.

4b. What is vertical Flying star chart?

This is more recent. And for those using this website's free Apartment or unit number input to check how auspicious your apartment is, then you have already used or tried out it out.

Thus, what it implies is that even in a block of flat or apartment, qi is considered different at different floors or storeys. Thus, say an address: Block 56, unit #05-66 is said to have different qi from another unit in this same block. Thus unit #6-66 may have different qi although they are at the same block.

5. In the past, it is more common for a Feng Shui practitioner to evaluate bigger plot of land and if so, in general, a pie chart is the best choice in most circumstances, here.

5.1 Just think about it. Why call it "horizontal Flying star?"; thus the clue here is the larger the piece of land, the most convenient method to analyse MACRO Feng Shui is to use a pie chart.

5.2 Situational Approach

If your unit is generally squarish in shape then, logically, a grid is easier ot use or analyse.

And some Feng Shui books, prefer to drawgrids, as it is one of the easiest way to produce anddisemminate information!

6. In general, many of the Traditional Feng Shui practitioners use the pie chart. Again, logically, for drafting andproducing reports for our clients, a pie chartfits nearly all types of units orlanded homes or apartments.

Here, one good thing about the pie is that we can immediatelyafter determining the centrepoint of the home or "center of gravity" and thenplace the entire layout.

7. Thus, as you can see in a REAL world environment where, for me, I have to work on lots of layout plans every day, it makes sense for me to use the pie.

8. Don'tget me wrong, here, Inever say grid is no good!Again, I emphasise that the few Traditional FS practitioners who do make an effort to give clients report after report, usually use the pie. For the above reason.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear FS Master,

With regards to your reply below I came across a situation when using a pie chart and 9 grid square to read the flying star of a floor plan, it show 2 different reading of a particular sector. The pie chart shows a bedroom 3 fall entirely under W sector but 9 grid square show the bedroom 3 sandwich in between SW & W sector. Please see attachments for better understanding. In this kind of situation may I know which method should we approach, pie or the grid square, especially now 5 yellow is the SW it will have impact in that room.

Appreciate your advice to enlighten my understanding.

Thank you

1. I believe that what you are inquiring about is quite "academic".

2. To be honest, there will be an endless debate regarding the merits of one method over another.

3. In my view, having numerous clients; some of whom have sought earlier consultations with different practitioners and second opinions; I have come across various charts.

4. From my understanding, among the practitioners in Singapore; many utilize the Pie chart method, myself included.

5. Why?

5.1. The Pie chart is particularly well-suited for landed properties, as many of these structures tend to be elongated and rectangular in shape.

5.2. At a glance, the practitioner can identify the true cardinal points (the precise layout of the entire North-South East-West NE-SW, NW-SE true compass directions). This is often examined in relation to the entry of external qi into the home.

5.3. Another significant advantage of the Pie chart is that since Flying Star is based on horizontal analysis; a pie chart can be extended indefinitely, for instance, to assess the building and site for optimal water location, mountains, etc. In contrast, a 9 square grid is more concentrated on the interior of the home.

5.4. The 9 Square grid is effective for a "purely" rectangular interior with divisions or rooms that conform to this 9 square grid. For instance, the layout plan you provided may be considered "rectangular"; however, the rooms or bedrooms do not align proportionately with the 9 grid. This leads to your confusion, as one square grid may encompass two bedrooms.

6. Many professional authors of Chinese (Mandarin Feng Shui) books (in my opinion) tend to favor the pie chart. Conversely, many English Feng Shui publications utilize the 9 grid system, particularly in their illustrations.

7. As I previously noted, regarding these two methods; there are individuals who may strongly advocate for one method or the other; while more pragmatic individuals would assert, "It depends." Ultimately, there is no definitive right or wrong. However, my personal preference leans towards the Pie chart method, as it is considerably easier to utilize when drafting a client's proposed recommendations.

This concept is derived from Vertical Flying Star Feng Shui.
