What is annual, monthly, daily, hourly and second flying stars and its effects to the feng shui of the house?

Under the Xuan Kong Flying Star feng shui, all the above captioned flying stars are considered as “guest stars”, they are mostly served as the “trigger” to the effects of the “host stars” combination at the sectors. In practice, when we are analyzing the feng shui of a house, we will study the natal chart of the house especially the sitting and facing star combination. As the same time, we will also look at the effects from flying “guest stars” especially the annual and monthly flying stars.

For example, if the timely “guest stars” fly to the sector which has an auspicious sitting/facing star combination, it will further enhance its effect. On the other hand, if some untimely “guest stars” fly to this sector, it will reduce its auspicious effect, or in some extreme cases, it will cause adverse effects like the vicious number 2 and 5 earth star. Simply put, this is the reason why the feng shui of the house will change in time and space.

Now, some people will ask what is the difference between the “guest stars”. In general practice, the annual flying stars will dictate the house’s feng shui for a whole year; while the monthly flying stars will have lesser effects on the feng shui of the house. However, when we consider them together with the annual flying stars, it will give us a more accurate prediction of the feng shui of the house within the year.

Let us look at the following example:

SE               3               4	South               8               9	SW               1               2
East               2               3	4                5	West                6                 7
NE                7                8	North                 9                 1	NW                5                6

This is a natal chart showing the annual flying stars (numbers at the bottom) and the monthly flying stars (numbers at the bottom) for a Period Seven house. Let us assume the time is year 1995 August month.

At the West sector, we can see that the timely number 7 annual flying star is located at this sector. If this sector happened to be the entrance sector or there is a large window, it imply good money luck in the year.  However, since the untimely number 6 monthly flying star fly to this sector, that means in August, the household may encounter argument and legal conflicts due to the [6,7] combination. Therefore, it is necessary to apply water element feng shui remedies to solve the problem.

As to the daily and hourly flying stars, it is primarily used to determine the auspicious day and time to apply feng shui cure or commencement of building and renovation works. This is normally what I will do in my professional consultation. I understand that there are some masters even use this information to predict the monthly/daily sale of a business establishment!

In order to help the beginner to further understand this topic, I will use the following example to further illustrate the effects of the annual and monthly flying stars:

This is the natal chart of a Period Eight house. Let us look at the flying star combination at the SW which is also the entrance sector:

		6                 8              4    4                 5

Note: The bottom left number represents the annual flying star and the bottom right number represents the monthly flying star.

Since the timely number 8 facing star is located at this sector, this indicates that this house will enjoy good money luck in Period Eight. However, there is a conflict with the number 4 wood base star (middle number), it implies the possibilities of health problem to the children in the house. In addition to the fact that the number 4 annual flying star is located at this sector, it will further enhance the conflict between the wood and earth star. In my practice, I will advise my client to be careful about health of the children in this year; especially in the month when the number 4 and 5 monthly fly to this sector.
