News2008 Flying Star Report for Year of Rat
It is always beneficial to declutter and clean a living space before setting cures and enhancements. I recommend working on one room at a time. Take everything away and put back only what you use or love. Start with most challenging rooms first...for example, locations that need cure. Then move on to the locations that need enhancement. This way you will consistantly be raising the vitality of the entire space. If you run into a situation that just is not practical...do nothing and keep on...by achieving 70% or more of quality feng shui practice you will have your feng shui working for you. Happy Feng Shui Practice!
I will start with the most inauspicious directions first as they will need the most attention and care to cure. Then I will lead from there to the most auspicious directions which will require enhancement. So from worst to best. Every year feng shui changes energy pattern and this system is known as time dimension formula. This formula can be used with various schools of feng shui, and in my opinion achieves benefit when utilized with other theories. Rather than bombard you with the many wares other websites encourage you to buy, I am keeping this forecast simple by only recommending the required element.
-SOUTH: 3 Killings/Year Breaker/#5 Yellow Star of Fatality
Cure by confronting this direction. Orient the furniture to sit facing south. Also place metal objects here. Install three metal chimes here. Place a bronze statue, or a singing bowl here. With three afflictions, the energy here gets complicated. Carefully choose metallic items that will work for you. Coins, bells, round shapes and colors of white, gold, copper, silver will all help to weaken any harmful effects of the southern area this year. No renovations here in '08.
-NORTHWEST: #2 Black Star of Illness
Cure sickness possibility with metal here as well. Chimes are excellent. I prefer 6 rod hollow metal chimes which allow the chi to cleans itself through the rods, turning bad energy into good. Keep this area quiet and super clean. No clutter. No renovations.
-SOUTHWEST: #7 Red Star of Violence
Cure with a bowl of still water. Keep it clean and full. Utilize colors of deep dark blues and blacks. Irregular shapes work. Keep valuables away from here. Lock windows or doors here and check fire alarms.
-WEST: #3 Jade Star of Quarrels
Cure with fire. Use red in the furnishings. Lights, candles, glowing red lampshades are fantastic. No metal chimes here. Peach, pink, coral colors work well. Keep quiet.
+NORTH: #6 White Star of Windfall
Cure affliction of Grand Duke Jupiter by sitting with your back to the 15 degree sector he resides in (352.5 - 7.5 degrees N2). Gain his support from behind. (Remember that facing south naturally places your back to north.) It is quite alright to face north in sectors N1 and N3 (fifteen degrees to either side of N2). Just do not confront the N2 sector. I recommend using a quality compass for this.
Enhance with crystal clusters and or hanging faceted crystal balls. Use earth colors.
+NORTHEAST: #4 Green Star of Achievement
Enhance this area with fresh flowers. Some movement, like a whirly gig will activate the auspicious energy here. Take out all metal items. (No wind chimes here.) No fire elements here. Use water colors of blues and blacks. Place symbols of love, pictures of family and friends, also pairs to enhance relationship.
+CENTER: #1 White Star of Career
This auspicious star governs all other palaces in 2008. It's energy permeates into all directions. Enhance with metal and water colors of white, indigo, gold, black, copper. Display creative career enhancing items here.
+SOUTHEAST: #9 Purple Star of Future
This wealth star doubles whatever it merges with. It is changeable and will be up and down, double positive, or double negative. Cure it in April and July with metal. Enhance it the rest of the year with green leafy flowering plants.
+EAST: #8 White Star of Wealth
Enhance this most auspicious star with fire and earth. This area needs lots of yang energy. Utilize this space, open the windows and doors here if you have them in the east. Place your wealth frog here facing your sheng chi direction. Citrine crystal clusters, money pots, treasure boxes are excellent here.
You will notice that this year split's the negative and positive stars. One side of the house has positive stars and one side of the house has negative stars. This configuration is unbalanced,like a see-saw with too much weight on one side,(it can not flow back and forth). This is why it is important to fully cure and fully enhance where needed to bring harmony and balance into alignment. Visually as well as physically and intuitively make sure your space has equilibrium.
It's all about turning the negatives into positives, balancing the yin and yang. Work each area to completion before going on to the next. When you are through with the cures and enhancements suggested for the year you will be able to experience a palpable harmonic resonance within your space. Do what you can do now. If you need to collect an element needed, you can place it later anytime during the year as necessary. Keep checking into your space periodically. I have found simple adjustments throughout the year within the space will create dramatic results. Feng Shui is about change. Nothing is static. The old will give way to the new.
I have witnessed that energies grow stronger as the year progresses, much like a sprouting plant grows into a strong tree. As always, there is more information to be garnered for deepening your feng shui practice. This report is only one way to quickly and efficiently improve the energy in your space. This time dimension formula can bring you up to date. Please feel free to email me with questions and comments. I love to discover solutions. Happy New Year of Rat. Enjoy the changes.
Best regards, Scott

Home FAQsFeng Shui is the art and science of balancing space so that it is a beautiful place with function for everything. Through the careful placement of five elements (fire, earth, metal, water, wood) in alignment with the natural environment feng shui creates a positive, practical, supportive, and harmonious place for living.
The Elements:
Wood - Anything made from wood, plants, flowers, carvings, bamboo screens, wood desks, wood tables. All shapes of rectangles and colors green, lighter blues, and the brown of real wood.
Fire - Fireplaces, candles, flame, combustion. All shapes triangular and fire colors of red, orange, pink, purple, flame.
Earth - Clay, dirt, crystals, cement,. All shapes square, and the colors of browns, yellows, earth tones.

Place suggested elements or representation of an element(ie. it's color)where there is need for cure or enhance. Use your imagination. Find creative symbols to incorporate into your space. It may be the color, design, shape, or actual element that becomes the remedy. The beauty of feng shui is that you will know when it is working because you will instantly be able to feel it's correctness; you will know intuitively that it is right. Science gives us road map suggestion, art gives your unique creation.
Note: Avoid water or wood in a location if it is a bedroom.
Flying star feng shui is based on a system of time. Everything is on a constant continuum of change. The original founders of feng shui observed and recorded behavioral phenomenom based on spacial relationship and time cycles. They were able to record a pattern that continues to cycle, and based on this pattern we have the annual charts of today, as well as the ability to chart for the future. The only way we have of accurately proving this theory is to look at the past to see that it precisely matches up with former charts. This year the pattern has shifted (as it does every year) for instance, with the 5 star of fatality residing in the south of the chart. It is an earth element and by utilizing metal element we exhaust this affliction. According to five element theory by adding metal we weaken earth by overwhelming it.
