Form and Compass School Feng Shui: Understanding How Your Environment Shapes Energy

Form School Feng Shui analyses the natural features surrounding your property – trees, hills, mountains, rivers, lakes – along with nearby buildings, walls, fences, and roads. In a Feng Shui audit, land topography is a critical factor. This includes the contour and shape of the land, mountain forms, pathways leading to the property, and what we refer to as the Four Celestial Animals.

Compass School Feng Shui has its roots in the I Ching (The Book of Changes) and dates back thousands of years. This method has been used for divination, mathematics, philosophy, Confucianism, Taoism, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Astrology, and Numerology. It has profoundly shaped Asian culture because it reveals the laws and forces that govern nature.

A core principle of Compass School Feng Shui is dividing the property into nine compass sectors, which form the foundation of analysing how energy flows through a building.

Form School, Compass School & Flying Stars: The Three Pillars of Classical Feng Shui

Form School and Compass School Feng Shui lay the foundation for the most advanced layer of all: Flying Stars.
Once you’ve mapped the landforms and compass sectors, you’re finally ready to see the real energetic blueprint of your home – the time-based stars that influence your health, wealth, and relationships.

Another essential component of Feng Shui is understanding Qi.
As Nicole Bijslma explains:

“The most fundamental law of the Universe is that everything is made up of Qi. However, no English word can adequately capture the meaning of Qi, for it is not matter nor is it energy, but rather matter on the verge of becoming energy or energy at the point of materialising.”

Qi can be either positive or negative. Positive Qi brings beneficial, supportive energy to a site, while negative Qi can disrupt wellbeing or create challenges.

According to Compass School Feng Shui, every building is divided into eight compass sectors, with the ninth sector being the Tai Qi – the centre of the home.
Each sector carries different qualities and influences a different area of life.
Once each sector of the property is identified, you can begin shifting the energy of each room in accordance with Feng Shui principles.

Each compass sector influences the following life aspects:

• Career

• Family relationships and health

• Wealth and abundance

• Fame, reputation, and respect

• Marriage and partnerships

• Children, dreams, and plans

• Helpful people and support

• Knowledge and self-awareness

Bring It Back to Flying Stars – The Energies That Shape Your Life Daily

But Form and Compass School Feng Shui are only the beginning…

Your home isn’t influenced by just one chart.
You’re living inside multiple layers of energy every single day:

✨ Your home’s natal Flying Stars chart (the birth chart of your property)
✨ The annual Flying Stars, which shift every year and influence luck, opportunities, and challenges
✨ The monthly Flying Stars, which create short-term highs, lows, and energetic shifts
✨ The daily zodiac animal energies, which interact with your personal chart and can create harmony or clashes

When you understand these layers, you stop moving blindly.
You start seeing why some days flow… and others don’t.
You begin planning your life, your actions, and even your rest around energy that supports you—not works against you.

And when all three systems align?
That’s when momentum, clarity, and breakthroughs happen.
