Flying Star or Xuan Kong Formula is the most complex and accurate form of Feng Shui and is utilized mainly by practitioners. It is based primarily on the concept of time and how Feng Shui intangible influences change over time in each dwelling. The process utilizes the Lo Shu Square and numbers according to the age, year, month and day. It analyzes how the numbers move around the square, how they intermingle with each other, the interpretations of numbers and combinations including the 5 element theory.

This formula allows a practitioner to take a “Feng Shui Luck’’ annual stock take for a dwelling by studying the intangible forces through the Lo Shu Square. It is believed, that unless these flying stars are dealt with, they can bring serious misfortune to a household.

Flying Star formula integrates both time and space dimension of a dwelling. This method of Feng Shui enables a practitioner to draw up a natal chart of a building and analyze the undetectable energies within a house over periods of time. This natal chart is made up of lo shu numbers that have been flown in a particular way depending on the date of construction, occupation of a building and the sitting and facing direction of the structure. The combinations of numbers have particular meanings such as wealth, prosperity, illnesses, misfortune and human harmony and assist the practitioner in identifying any unseen influences that may be affecting a certain room or office.

The Chinese believe that we should also take into consideration the annual Flying Stars. These annual stars possess additional meanings and influences on the Flying Stars of a dwelling. The interaction between all these stars will enable a practitioner to determine the fortune and misfortune of areas in a building over a period of time.
