Qi is like an invisible force, much like "The Force" in Star Wars—may the Force, or Qi, be with you! It’s also similar to Wi-Fi, an unseen energy we know exists, though some spots in the house get better signals. Feng Shui works like a Wi-Fi booster, enhancing the flow of Qi. Many are now focused on Period 9 Feng Shui, wondering if their homes will align with its principlesis the art of channeling Qi, an invisible energy like "The Force" in Star Wars or Wi-Fi signals, to enhance areas of life such as career, wealth, health, and relationships.

How to choose a house with GOOD FENGSHUI?
Whether the house is prosperous or not, depends Heaven Earth and Man Factors:
1. Facing of the house, versus Time Factor (Period 9/Year 2025)
2. House Exterior Environment, Landmarks and Landscapes
3. House Interior QI Activactions
What are the four main types of FACING:
1. Promote Wealth and Health
2. Promote Wealth but not Health
3. Promote Health but not Wealth
4. Destroy Wealth and Health
How do I take the Facing myself?
To determine the facing of a house, sit inside the house and face looking out through the main door—this direction represents the house’s facing. It’s best to use a LuoPan or Professional Compass for accuracy. Precision is crucial, as even a slight deviation of a few degrees can lead to entirely different outcomes. Handle this step with care.

What is Period 9?
In Fengshui, we have the Heaven Earth and Man Factor —天时地利人和
Heaven Factor, is the Time Factor—Period 9 governs the Years from 2024 to 2043 (approximately 20 years). Period 9 also governs the Li—Gua on I-Ching—which is the South Sector, and South Sector has the Prominent Energy (Prosperous Qi Flow) for this 20 year time period.
How to select a Period 9 Feng Shui—Compliant Home
Earth Factors, are the geographical aspects, the exterior environment affecting the Qi Flow. Approximately 70% of Feng Shui energy originates from the external environment, particularly the mountains and water surrounding your property.
In Period 9, it is vital to have a clear view of a beautiful mountain or hilly area in the South of your home. Mountains symbolize fulfillment, happiness, health, and harmonious relationships. Waters represents financial opportunities and wealth, making it essential to have a view of water from the North sector of your home during Period 9. The water should be clean, calm, and serene, such as a lake, pond, or swimming pool, to attract and nurture prosperity.
Thus, an ideal Feng Shui home in Period 9 sits with a mountain to the South for stability and fulfilment, while facing waters to the North for abundant financial energy. This perfect harmony of landforms creates a powerful balance, unlocking success, wealth, and happiness in this new era.
In the Early BaGua, the South is represented by—Qian Gua(NorthWest) , while in the Later BaGua, the South is represented by—Li Gua (South). Therefore, alternatively, a home that sits in the Northwest and faces the Southeast can also harness the energy of Period 9. If your house sits in the NorthWest sector and features a mountain, this will signify stability and fulfillment, and if your house faces the SouthEast sector and offers a view of water, such as a lake, pond, or swimming pool, this will help to attract wealth and opportunities.
How to Harness the Qi Flow in my home?
Man Factors, we can harness approximately remaining 30% of Feng Shui energy within the interior home, by cleverly applying the principles of Xuan Kong Flying Star Feng Shui on three critical focused areas: the main door, master bedroom, and stove. Try to ensure that these key areas align with Period 9 Feng Shui guidelines to activate prosperity, health, and harmony in the home.
How to read the XuanKong Flying Star Chart?
A typical Flying Star chart features three stars per sector: the Sitting Star (left), the Facing Star (right), and the Base Star.

In a Flying Star chart, the Base Star (also known as the Period Star) represents the inherent, unchanging energy of a specific sector based on the construction period of the house. If your house is built after 4Feb 2024, then it is a Period 9 house. If your house is built between 2004-2023, it is a Period 8 House, and if it is between 1984-2003, then it constitutes as a Period 7 House. Base Star (Period Star) serves as the foundation for the energy dynamics of that sector (direction) and interacts with the Sitting Star and Facing Star to influence outcomes.
The Base Star (Period Star) provides the underlying stability and influence of the sector
The Sitting Star governs health, relationships, and people-related aspects.
The Facing Star governs wealth, career, and financial aspects.
Each box in the chart corresponds to a compass directions, offering insights into how energy flows in your home.
The Main Door
The main door serves as the Qi mouth of your home, channeling energy from the external environment into your living space. It is crucial for the main door to reside in a sector with a timely and prosperous Facing or Sitting Star—specifically 9, 1, or 2, as these stars govern wealth and prosperity.
The Stove
The stove plays a vital role in your home's Feng Shui, symbolizing health and nourishment. To enhance positive energy, ensure the stove is located in a sector with a prosperous Facing or Sitting Star—9, 1, or 2. Additionally, stars 3 and 4 can also be considered. As wood elements, they harmonize with the stove’s fire element in the five-element productive cycle, where wood feeds fire, amplifying beneficial energy in that sector.
The Master Bedroom
The master bedroom is a sanctuary for rest and rejuvenation, influencing relationships and health. To support these aspects, it is essential to have a timely and prosperous Sitting Star—9, 1, or 2—in the bedroom's sector.
However, avoid having Facing Stars 9, 1, or 2 in this area, as they can disrupt restful sleep, leading to insomnia or restlessness. This may cause the individual to focus excessively on wealth opportunities, neglecting proper rest, and potentially resulting in health issues due to a lack of sleep.
