It is important to learn about the locations of annual and monthly flying stars (xuan kong fei xing), reputed to be the most powerful systems in the study of Feng Shui. Annual stars stay in a sector for that year and shift to another sector in a pre-determined pattern in the following year. Monthly stars change positions on a monthly basis.

The star numbers run from 1 to 9 and each flying star number possesses auspicious or inauspicious meanings. In period 8, (2004 to 2024) the three luckiest star numbers are 8, 6 and 1 while the unlucky stars are 2, 3, 5 and 7. When the combination of the annual star and monthly star in a compass sector for a particular month is made up of the good stars (8, 6 and 1), the particular sector is said to be very auspicious and will bring lots of good luck to its occupant. But when the bad stars congregate in the same sector, it's important that you vacate the room for the month. If this cannot be done, you must install Feng Shui cures to suppress them or they will bring misfortunes of the most severe kind. However, you do not have to worry if the bad stars fly into a storeroom, toilet, garage or a missing corner because their negative effects are said to be contained and dissolved. The effect, whether good or bad, is lesser when the number appears alone.

Use a good compass to accurately determine the direction of your home. Then refer to the chart below to look out for afflicted sectors from year 2003 to 2013 and take the necessary steps to suppress the inauspicious stars or enhance the auspicious ones.
