Meanings of the Base Star Numerals

[mksay]

Hi Cecil / Robert,
I read that 7 is considered auspicious in period #7 but not other periods.
Does that mean the base stars will have different meanings for different periods?
e.g. for period 7,
6 means Fading Prosperity
7 means Current Prosperity
8 means Future Prosperity
9 means Distant Prosperity
by the same token, for period 8,
7 will mean Fading Prosperity
8 will mean Current Prosperity....
and double-8 for period 8 is as auspicious as the double-7 for period 7?
What does 7 means for period 8 houses?

Dear Rose,
As the Flying Star Theory implies, it is based on the `birth chart' of a
house. For example, we know that the current period 1984 to 2003 is under
Period 7.
If lets say you purchase a house e.g. built in 1999, and during this time,
did renovations and move in. this house will be considered a Period 7 house.
Here under the Flying Star Theory, the base star 7 occupies the centre
position of the numerals.
What happens if we move into Period 8? in 2004?
Well, if you do not do anything to a house built in 1999, it will always
remain under the influence of Period 7 calculations. But, if you had done
major renovations, then this house no longer retains Period 7 influence but
period 8 influence. The birth chart of the house now comes under Period 8.
Similiarly, a house built before 1984, lets say this house was built in
1980, Period 6. If no renovations had been done since 1980 to today, it is
still called a Period 6 house and the Flying Star calculations would be
based on Period 6.
Hope that helps.
Cecil

Dear Cecil,
Yes, I understand what the "birth chart" of a house is about. My questions were directed more towards houses built in the next period. For these houses, the reigning number used is then #8. So, does #8 continue to mean Future Prosperity in those charts? or should it mean Current Prosperity instead at that time?
In short, I was asking do the numerals have different meanings for birth charts of different periods? e.g. Does #7 always mean Current Prosperity for all houses built/renovated in all periods?
I apologize if my questions seems confusing. Actually, the more I read, the more I myself become confused, as sometimes I find so many different answers to the same questions :( (Different masters teach their students differently I think) And it is hard to judge which is the correct one.
Thank you and best regards.

Frankly, the computation of the base numeral is a standard format. You can
ask anyone who has taken at least a course in Flying Star. You can even ask
any of the students who had taken any course
Contrary to what you had mentioned that different Masters teach their
students differently. I like to clarify that if the Master is teaching
Traditional `Authentic' Feng Shui, the calcuation of the base numeral is the
same for all Feng Shui Schools both the Traditional Western (English
teaching) Feng Shui or Eastern (Mandarin speaking) Schools. All Feng Shui
Schools teach the same method.
Therefore, if you have not taken a course, it is definitely hard to make a
judgement. Even students who had taken the Applied Feng Shui Course at
geomancy-u.com can confirm that the base calcuation is a standard method.
The only thing that may `vary' is the way, the North to South or South to
North template is placed.
At Geomancy.net, we prefer to use the North to South template, to make it
easy for users to use the reports.
Therefore, the saying goes " a little knowlege is a dangerous " thing.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

The problem with this lies in the fact there is a rule set that the current
period number say (7) takes preceedence in which it controls the star 7.
That means that say in period 3, 3 controls star 3, therefore any
inauspicious period is removed. Period 3 becomes the current prosperity.
However, the rest of the stars remains unchanged. This is because, the fixed
default in the San Yuan Di Li Theory (60 Cycles), states that normally for
the initial part of the period period 1,2, 3, these are the growing period
for the year, this means that there are often difficulties, which is why 1
is not inauspicious because its preceeding year is period 9 the future
prosperity.
2, 3 are difficult periods as it is the start of a new beginning. Same goes
for 3, 5, 6. However during th 6 period, the period is better, thus, when
period 7,8, 9 comes in, it is where the future generation benefits from it.
Thus 7, 8, 9 are normally considered as future prosperity.
These are finding which I have uncovered from my research. Thus, it seems
that the "basic representation" does not change. The only changes which will
occur is which number is treated as the current prosperity. For say period 3
then Period 3 is current prosperity. While 7 becomes Future prosperity as
deduced from the basic interpretation. So far I have yet, to see any masters
mentioning that the periods shifts, as I understand that 2,3,4,5 explanation
does not change, so the others should not be affected at all. Otherwise, the
rule set for the Flying Star will no longer work.
Warmest Regards
Robert Lee
