Feng Shui Flying Star Chart Basics

In Feng Shui, it is believed that 'there are nine stars in the sky and nine palaces on the earth'. The nine palaces are the reflection of the nine stars on the earth. According to the principles noted in the “Luo Shu (also known as Nine Hall Diagram)”, the nine palaces can be represented by a nine-hall grid, and at the same time, according to different variations and patterns, the nine numbers from 1-9 indicating the star positions are filled in. This is the Nine Palace Flying Star Chart. In Feng Shui, the Nine Palace Flying Star Chart is an essential tool that can help people to interpret Feng Shui and enhance the auspicious aura of their homes.
