Flying Stars (飞星)

Stars are analytic labels, not physical planets.

Definition

Flying stars are nine named stars flown across the Lo Shu grid by construction period and sitting/facing. Charts stack period, mountain, and facing layers, then add annual stars for timing.

How to Check

Confirm Period 9 (2024–2043) with star 9 central.
State whether you mean period, mountain, facing, or annual layer.

Classical Basis

Qing–Republic Xuan Kong manuals codified flight paths; five-phase traits colour clash analysis.

Application

·Renovation plans often check annual as well as period plates.

Common Effects

·Period 8 charts after 2024 mislabel timely stars.
·Fixating on one annual ‘five yellow’ ignores palace context.

Remedy Direction

Replate at period change; time noisy work cautiously if your school flags a palace.

Caveats & Debate

Replacement hexagram sitting rules split teachers.
