Once you learn about the flying stars, a numerically coded energy grid for each house or building, conflicts arise when these theories play out in real life.  It’s not too difficult to employ Five Element Theory for the basic pairing of the Mountain Dragon and Water Dragon.  But what happens when a visiting annual star contradicts what you would normally do as a remedy for the permanent stars?

Enter this case study, which I created early on as an answer to the questions I started getting from graduates of other Feng Shui schools.  Step-by-step, the case study discusses how to prioritize the different stars and that we have to factor in a few more variables to determine the right element or elements to use.

By element, I am referring to Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, and Metal.  Some elements are complementary and some should almost never be put together in the same room.

Here’s an excerpt:

“We don’t have to remedy every single star combination or all the time.  This is especially true if the flying star combination is not even in a frequently used portion of the house.

For years I didn’t bother to remedy my den since I hardly used the room.  But once my boyfriend moved in and turned the den into an office, then we started to micro-manage the room carefully.

If we have a “positive” star dominating a “negative” star, then it might be like a parent keeping an unruly child in place.  Such might be the case with a 6-3 combination.

We could leave this combination alone if it is not in a heavily used area.

In my book, The Feng Shui Continuum, I give examples of how the Flying Stars become activated. This can include what the furnishings and décor are in the room (especially what elements they represent), how much the room is used, who is using the room, and the shape of the house.

Sometimes, I see beginning consultants advise their clients to remedy every single nook and cranny of the house, and this is often not necessary.  If you down-play the least important areas, then the occupant can focus more on the essential remedies.”

This case study is only for those who have studied the flying stars.  Most of it gives examples of actual pairings of stars and how to handle them. This is easier to understand when you know what the stars mean, individually and in their pairings.
