North1 = 337.5 - 352.5
North2 = 352.5 - 7.5
North3 = 7.5 - 22.5

NorthEast1 = 22.5-37.5
NorthEast2 = 37.5 - 52.5
NorthEast3 = 52.5 - 67.5

East1 = 67.5 - 82.5
East2 = 82.5 - 97.5
East3 = 97.5 - 112.5

SouthEast1 = 112.5 - 127.5
SouthEast2 = 127.5 - 142.5
SouthEast3 = 142.5 - 157.5

South1 = 157.5 - 172.5
South2 = 172.5 - 187.5
South3 = 187.5 - 202.5

SouthWest1 = 202.5 -217.5
SouthWest2 = 217.5 - 232.5
SouthWest3 = 232.5 - 247.5

West1 = 247.5 - 262.5
West2 = 262.5 - 277.5
West3 = 277.5 - 292.5

NorthWest1 = 292.5 - 307.5
NorthWest2 = 307.5 - 322.5
NorthWest3 = 322.5 - 337.5

In the above sample of 342 degree facing direction, the house falls under " North1. "

Step 3
Determine the water and mountain stars and the path taken. You notice in the flying star chart there are 3 numbers in each square. The number in the middle is called the Time Star; the number on the right hand corner is the water/facing star; the number on the left hand corner is the mountain/sitting star. The water star is responsible for wealth while the mountain star is responsible for health.

Let us first determine the mountain/sitting star (the number on the upper left hand corner).

In our sample, a facing of 342 degrees falls under North1, this would mean that the house SITTING direction would have to be " South1. " The sitting direction is always OPPOSITE of the facing direction of the house (Ex. An East facing house sits West).

Refer back to the loshu square for period 7 house in step 1 , the number in the south palace is Star # 2. This number is then placed at the center of the lou shu magic square up on the left hand side corner. The next thing to do is to determine the path taken whether to fly the stars forward (yang) or backward (yin).

Please CLICK on here : [Mountain/Sitting Star Path] to find the path taken by the mountain star. This new page will load into a new browser window which you can close after finding out the path taken by the stars.

We find " South1 " under Period 7 is indicated by a YIN mountain. Thus, we fly the stars backward (2-1-9-8-7-6-5-4-3). See chart below.

Now, let us determine the water/facing star (the number on the upper right hand corner). The facing direction of 342 degrees falls under North1.

Referring back to the loshu square for period 7 house in step 1 , the number in the North palace is Star # 3. This number is placed at the center of the loshu square up on the right hand side corner. Next, we determine whether to fly the stars forward or backward.

Please CLICK on here : [Facing/Water Star Path] to find the path taken by the water star. This new page will load into a new browser window which you can close after finding out the path taken by the stars.

We find "North1" under Period 7 is YANG mountain. Thus, we fly the stars forward (3-4-5-6-7-8-9-1-2). See chart below.

Below is the completed flying star chart for period 7 house(built in 1987) facing at 342 degrees (North1):

Step 4
With the completed flying star chart, you can now draw up a floor plan of your house. Divide the floorplan from the center into 8 wedges and place the stars from the chart in their respective palaces.

Whew ! That was easy, wasn't it? We are now ready to analyze the flying star chart of the house.
