What Are Flying Stars In Feng Shui?

Flying Stars are one of the most fascinating parts of Classical Feng Shui because they reveal the energy active within different areas of your home or workplace.

Every room sits within your Flying Stars chart.

Your bedroom has an active star. Your kitchen has an active star. Your entrance, living room and home office all have an active star.

The question is which Flying Star lands where.

Some Flying Stars bring highly prosperous and supportive energy. Others bring more challenging influences that need to be remedied.

Once you know which star is active in each part of your home, Feng Shui becomes much more powerful.

You are no longer guessing.

You know which energy you are working with and exactly where it is located.

What Does This Chart Reveal?

The active star at the front entrance reveals the financial flow of the household. In this chart, the occupants would experience strong prosperity.

I would strengthen this wealth energy with Wood and Fire elements, flickering light and movement around the entrance.

This is the home’s true Feng Shui wealth corner.

And that’s just one star. Imagine what the rest of the chart reveals.

Your Home Has Its Own Flying Stars Chart

Every home and workplace has what is known as a Natal Flying Stars chart.

Think of this as the birth chart of the building.

It is calculated using the building’s period and facing direction, creating a unique distribution of Flying Stars throughout the property.

But generating a Flying Stars chart is only the beginning.

Those numbers need to be connected to your actual rooms.

And this is where your floor plan becomes incredibly important.

Your Flying Stars Have An Exact Location

To accurately determine where your Flying Stars land, you need a floor plan of your home or workplace.

The floor plan is divided into the nine compass sectors:

North, Northeast, East, Southeast, South, Southwest, West, Northwest and the Centre.

Once those nine compass sectors are accurately mapped across your floor plan, your Flying Stars chart is positioned into those sectors.

Now you can see exactly where each star lands.

Your bedroom has a star. Your kitchen has a star. Your front entrance has a star. Your home office has a star.

And the star active within that space is the energy you need to understand.

This is why accurately mapping your home matters.

If you don’t know exactly where your compass sectors fall, you don’t know exactly where your Flying Stars fall either.

See How The Flying Stars Land Across The Home

Once the Flying Stars are positioned over the floor plan, you can see which numbers land within each compass sector and each room.

From here, you identify the active star within each room. This tells you which energy is influencing that space and, importantly, exactly which Feng Shui remedies or elements to apply there.

This is where a Flying Stars chart goes from a set of numbers to a practical map of your home.

Then There Are The Flying Stars That Move

Your Natal Flying Stars remain connected to your building, but another layer of Flying Stars moves with time.

These are known as time stars.

There are Annual Flying Stars that change position each year.

And there are Monthly Flying Stars that change position each month.

This means the energy within a particular area of your home has several layers.

Your Natal Flying Stars form the foundation.

Then the Annual Flying Stars arrive.

Then the Monthly Flying Stars move through again.

This is where Flying Star Feng Shui becomes incredibly interesting because your home isn’t being influenced by one single layer of energy.

There are multiple layers interacting within the same space.

Annual Flying Stars Are Only Part Of The Story

Annual Flying Stars have become incredibly popular online.

You’ll often see advice telling you that a particular Flying Star is in the North, South, East or West for the year.

But there is an important piece missing from a lot of this information.

You need to know where that compass sector actually falls within your home.

If the annual 5 is in the West, where is West on your floor plan?

Is it your bedroom?

Your kitchen?

Your front entrance?

Your living room?

Once your floor plan is accurately mapped, the information suddenly becomes personal.

You aren’t just reading that a Flying Star is sitting in the West.

You can see exactly which part of your home it is influencing.

Start By Watching The Flying Star 5

There are many layers to interpreting Flying Stars properly, especially when you begin combining Natal, Annual and Monthly Stars.

You don’t need to understand all of that on day one.

For a beginner, one of the most valuable places to start is simply watching the Annual and Monthly 5 Star.

The 5, traditionally known as the Five Yellow, is one of the most challenging energies in Flying Star Feng Shui.

I describe it as a little bomb of destruction moving through the home.

It is an energy associated with disruption, obstacles, accidents, illness and misfortune, which is why we don’t want to unknowingly activate it.

Instead, we remedy it.

And once you understand your floor plan, you know exactly where to place that remedy.

How To Remedy The Flying Star 5

The traditional element used to weaken the 5 is Metal.

When you know which compass sector the Annual or Monthly 5 has moved into, you place the appropriate Metal remedy within that area of your home.

One of the traditional remedies used is a salt water cure, alongside Metal.

The goal is simple:

Calm the challenging influence rather than activate it.

This is also why following the 5 is such a great introduction to Flying Stars.

You don’t need to become an expert overnight.

You start by learning your home’s compass sectors.

Then you follow where the Annual 5 lands.

Then you watch where the Monthly 5 moves.

And suddenly you’re not just reading generic Feng Shui advice online.

You’re applying it to your own home.

This Is Where Flying Stars Become Personal

Imagine reading that the Monthly 5 has moved into the North.

If you haven’t mapped your home, that’s simply a direction.

But when you have your floor plan mapped, you immediately know:

That’s my bedroom.

Or:

That’s my front entrance.

Or:

That’s my kitchen.

Now the information means something.

You know where the energy is.

You know which room it is affecting.

And you know where the remedy needs to go.

That is the difference between simply reading about Flying Stars and actually applying Flying Star Feng Shui to your own home.
