STAR-FLYING THE WORLD, 2010 …

The Flying Stars [飞星] system illuminates certain behavioral patterns and effects of Qi [气]. It can be used to predict potential occurrences of events on a global scale. At a more personal level, we use it to decode potentialities inherent in our physical environment, and then encode the same subject with new probabilities, in an attempt to enhance or avert those potentialities. Feng Shui [风水] after all is a probability (de/en)coding game.

2010 Annual Flying Star Chart

Guidelines:
1) The chart is orientated with ‘south’ at the top according to traditional Chinese metaphysics layout;
2) The alphabetical abbreviations stand for the location of the respective palaces (sectors), with ‘c’ indicating the central palace;
3) The Chinese characters represent Period 8 chart, which spans 20 years from 2004 to 2023. The numbers at the centre of each palace above the abbreviations represent the 2010 annual chart. As the two charts replicate each other, it may be deduced that whatever happens in 2010 is a generic indicator of the 'currents' underlying Period 8;
4) The smaller numbers on both sides of the annual stars are the monthly stars that run vertically, right-to-left, from the 1st to the 12th solar month;
5) Generally, the months which coincide with problematic stars, ie. 2, 3, 5 & 7, are the ones which are more prone to issues. Where these problematic stars are the annual star at the main entrance door / bedrooms / kitchen for houses, or main entrance door / directors’ rooms / finance department for commercial premises, it is advisable to put in place some precautionary aversion measures at the respective areas;
6) Encoding (ie. for enhancement or aversion) can be carried out at macro-scale (big Tai Ji [大太极]) taking the entire premise into consideration, or at micro-scale (small Tai Ji [小太极]) applying to individual rooms. For houses, living room is a convenient application ground. Nevertheless, you encode only where it is relevant for your own premise, or to suit your specific needs. DO NOT OVERDO!

Central Palace

In 2010, 8-White [八白] arrives at the central palace as the governing annual star. It is a star of prosperity [利禄之星], and the most auspicious star in Period 8. It replicates and hence reinforces the Period 8 governing star, so global prosperity can generally be anticipated. We may say that the scent of money permeates the air!

However, in the company of the resident 5-Yellow [五黄] catastrophic star, caution and vigilance must still be exercised, esp. when dealing with Middle East countries (eg. Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Afghanistan, Egypt, etc.). Geo-political tensions persist, some may quip since time immemorial, but defiance tends to ease with diplomatic sanctions. People’s economic and financial aspirations are strong, sustaining construction activities.

However, buildings in the NE1~SW1 (22.5°-37.5°~202.5°-217.5°) or SE2/3~NW2/3 (127.5°-157.5°~307.5°-337.5°) orientations, if lacking open space or open views in front, or do not have an internal courtyard open to the sky, will tend to encounter hindrances in business and monetary matters. This is due to the imprisonment of the auspicious 8-White Water star [水星入囚].

To Encode:

Introduce reflective elements to release the star at the central palace, eg. mirror-finished stainless steel décor, round mirror, disco light, crystal light, round metallic water feature, reflective pool, etc..

Place a black pot of gold coins for better chance at windfall gains.

Northwest Palace (292.5°-337.5°)

9-Purple [九紫] is an auspicious Fire star [火星] that connotes celebrations. Arriving in Northwest in 2010, it exerts pressure on the resident 6-White Metal [六白金], accentuated by the double-effect of the annual cum Period 8 flying stars. Restructuring of financial institutions and market corrections are inevitable, no doubt for the better. Sporadic economic disturbances can be expected as a result. There tend to be higher incidences of fire outbreaks, while terrorist attacks are equally possible.

Countries like USA, Canada, Greenland, Ireland and UK will be prone to its influences, resulting in tremendous pressure on the respective government. Female politicians will be in better positions to weather such strains. Hence, it is of no surprise that feminine powers rise in Period 8.

9-Purple being a celebrative star [喜庆之星] is especially conducive for enhancing the chances of wedding, conception and promotion. However, it is more suitable for females to take direct advantage of its locational effect, simply by occupying the Northwest sector!

To Encode:

Otherwise, introduce Earth [土] element as a mediating agent, eg. clay pot of gold coins or gold dust, etc.. The ideal colour for the pot is natural clay colours, ie. brown or yellow. Avoid black colour or water features in this sector.

Place a yellow jade pagoda at NW3 (322.5°-337.5°) for academy luck.

West Palace (247.5°-292.5°)

1-White [一白] is an auspicious Water star that symbolizes vitality [生气], alluding to wealth, libido and wisdom. Arriving in West in 2010, it dissipates the resident 7-Red Metal [七赤金], implying potential wastage or weakening of financial resources. Sex scandals or other scandalous incidences relating to the sports, cultural or tourism industries are likely. There may also be floods.

Implicated countries include most of Europe and Central America.

To Encode:

Introduce Wood [木] element to convert potential negative aspects into positive influences, and to enhance competitive edge. This can be in the form of Fortune Bamboos, which is quite popular during the Chinese New Year festive season.

Place a vase of red roses in water at W2 (262.5°-277.5°) to boost your sex appeal!

Place a metal pot of gold coins to enhance conventional wealth luck.

Northeast Palace (22.5°-67.5°)

2-Black [二黑] is a wealth star [财富之星] that, more often than not, spells disasters instead of financial blessings, usually resulting in diseases and illnesses. In 2010 it is at Northeast, influencing countries like Japan, Korea, Mongolia, northeastern China and eastern Russia.

Its arrival reinforces the presence of the Period 2-Black. Hence, people in these countries have to beware of breast cancer, or of epidemic affecting the digestive system or arising out of animals (esp. cats & cows). Severe thunderstorms and seismic activities, eg. earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, etc. are also possible. North Korea’s nuclear (dis)armament issue will again hog international headlines.

2010 Tai Sui [太岁] resides at Yin palace [寅宫], which is NE3 (52.5°-67.5°). Hence, caution must be taken to avoid ‘offending Tai Sui’ [冲犯太岁] at the northeastern regions, esp. of the capital cities on macro-scale or of buildings on micro-scale, by carrying out construction activities or major celebration parties, or installing mobile devices (eg. fan, aircon, water feature or fish pond).

To Encode:

Introduce Metal [金] element to exhaust the 2-Black Earth star [二黑土星], eg. 6-rods metal wind chime, 6 ancient Chinese coins, traditional Chinese copper ‘singing’ bowl of water, round bowl of salt water, metal pot of gold coins, metal safe, treasure chest of jewellery, white rounded pebbles, etc.. People in the construction industry are best suited to take advantage of the 2-Black star.

It is also good to tap the ‘power’ of Tai Sui by placing a white or gold Japanese Fortune Cat at NE3 sector, coming in from NE3 direction. Ideally, this is also a coin bank with min. two gold coins. Sitting NE3 facing SW3 (232.5°-247.5°) gives the upper hand during negotiations. Nonetheless, it is good to serve drinks during negotiations to minimise conflicts, esp. if you happen to be sitting SW3 facing NE3 instead!

South Palace (157.5°-202.5°)

3-Jade [三碧] is normally regarded as a military star [战星], alluding to fights and quarrels. In 2010, it arrives at the southern palace of Li Fire [离火], thereby harbouring threats of terrorist bombings, as well as possibility of high profile legal cases. Natural calamities eg. droughts & bush fires are also likely.

Countries receiving more of the southern Qi (ie. Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Australia, New Zealand, etc.) will be more susceptible to its influences.

To Encode:

Manifest the Fire [火] element to exhaust the 3-Jade Wood star [三碧木星], eg. red colours (interior decor), red carpet, red light, etc..

North Palace (337.5°-22.5°)

The academic star 4-Green [四绿才华之星] flies to the North in 2010, exerting its scholastic influences on the Scandinavian countries and Russia.

Besides inducing literary excellence, the inherent star combination of 1-White / 4-Green also spells romance, implying possibilities of high profile romantic engagements, or perhaps scandalous affairs.

Unfortunately, 3-Killings [三煞] is also coming from the North. While it is beneficial to locate North, sitting North facing South [坐北朝南] or vice versa tends to invite troubles. Activation at this sector is strictly prohibited. Countries in the North have to watch out for nuclear or bio-chemical plant leakages.

To Encode:

Introduce Wood [木] element to manifest the potential academic qualities, and exhaust the strength of 3-Killings, eg. Fortune Bamboos, Four Treasures Of Study [文房四宝], etc..

Avoid placing thorny plants, eg. cactus, rose, etc., and other unpleasant looking objects or paintings in this sector.

Southwest Palace (202.5°-247.5°)

5-Yellow [五黄] is an awe inspiring star of authority [威望之星] that demands subservience and wreaks havoc wherever it lands. In 2010, it relocates to Kun palace [坤宫], possibly resulting in exceptional seismic activities to countries incl. Africa and South America. Things out of the ordinary are more likely to occur, incl. UFO sightings!

Its combination with the resident 2-Black tends to bring back civil strifes, ethnic clashes, health issues, social activism, etc.. In view that the 2010 FIFA World Cup is going to be held in South Africa, its government must brace itself for some unpleasant surprises. Besides, upsets can also be anticipated during the games, esp. towards the finals.

Buildings sitting SW3 facing NE3 are in direct clash with Tai Sui, and hence are prone to problems. Auspicious dates must be used if construction activities are to be carried out.

To Encode: Similar to that for Northeast.


East Palace (67.5°-112.5°)

6-White [六白] being Qian Metal [乾金], symbolizes officialdom and wealth [武财]. Its arrival in the East affects countries incl. China, Taiwan, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.

In the presence of the resident 3-Jade [三碧], pressure on the government is inevitable, esp. relating to economic growth and national budget. Disagreements between opposing political parties may result in bloodshed. Traffic accidents and violent crimes are on the rise.

To Encode:

Introduce Water [水] element as a mediating agent, eg. black carpet, black rounded pebbles, etc..

Place a vase of red flowers in water at E2 (82.5°-97.5°) to improve your luck in relationships and romance!

Place a black pot of gold coins at E1 (67.5°-82.5°) and E3 (97.5°-112.5°) to enhance luck for windfall gains and conventional wealth respectively.

Southeast Palace (112.5°-157.5°)

7-Red [七赤] is the star of dispute and destruction [肃杀之星]. Descending on Southeast in 2010, it may put a check on the ongoing economic rallies in countries incl. Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines and Papua New Guinea.

The inherent star combination of 7-Red / 4-Green depicts a conflicting relationship between Metal and Wood [金木相克]. Its overall effect is reminiscent of that occurring in the East, hence similar measures can be applied, though 4-Green may still be enhanced for academic achievements.

To Encode:

Introduce Wood c/w Water element, eg. four stalks of Fortune Bamboos in water, etc..
