Jampa Ludrup’s Introduction to Flying Star Feng Shui Course Combinations of Stars • • • • • • • • • Stars 1,4,6,8,9 are considered lucky Stars 2,3,5,7 are considered unlucky They can appear as: The 20-year period star The water star The mountain star The annual star The monthly star Many master geomancers consider only the combination of the Water and Mountain stars. It is also good to consider the basic 20-year number for each sector. The effect of the yearly and monthly stars on the Flying Star chart should be considered as well, especially the effect of the sickness stars (5 and 2) Jampa Ludrup’s Introduction to Flying Star Feng Shui Course Auspicious Combinations of Stars Star numbers Attributes Enhancement Wealth, great richness popularity Moving water with entrance or window in this sector. 1/8 Excellent wealth luck in 8.

Use moving water to activate the 8 water star for wealth. This usually brings unexpected income within the 9-day cycle of the daily stars. Use crystals to activate the 8 mountain star, which is very potent for relationship luck.

Destructive elements clash with the negative elements. Generally avoid activity and noise. Activity stirs up problems. Use still (yin) water rather than active water. Jampa Ludrup’s Introduction to Flying Star Feng Shui Course Exercise Suggest the correct placement of elements for the following buildings using Flying Star element analysis • Period 7 Southwest 2/3 • Period 8 North 1 Jampa Ludrup’s Introduction to Flying Star Feng Shui Course COURSE OUTLINE Module five Review of the exercise Period Eight • Importance of the change from period 7 to period 8 • Changing the building to period 8 Three Negative Yearly Influences • Grand Duke • Three Killings • Five Yellows Monthly Influences • Flying the stars for monthly periods Applying the Flying Star charts • Houses • Apartments • Businesses • Big Chi and Small Chi Jampa Ludrup’s Introduction to Flying Star Feng Shui Course Jampa Ludrup’s Introduction to Flying Star Feng Shui Course Changing to Period 8 • • • • • • • • • • Period 8 started on February 4th 2004. The main problem is the extreme change in the character of the number 7. In period 7 there are many combinations of water and mountain stars that contain the number 7 In period 7 these may be auspicious, especially the double 7 in the front door In period 8 they become very, very nasty indeed All period 7 buildings are afflicted with at least one 7 in the front door except SW2/3, S2/3, N1 and NE1, and these all have double 7s at the back. So in effect every single period 7 building has danger of violence in the period of 8. A building gets its period number when it is constructed and when subsequent major renovations take place involving changes to the roof and the front door, or when you move in. This means that the vast majority of buildings are period 7 buildings. The large amount of metal used in construction these days increases the likelihood of activating the pernicious effects of the 7 and making the effect worse than the corresponding changeover in 1824. As the period of 7 ended we started to see the effects. Jampa Ludrup’s Introduction to Flying Star Feng Shui Course Updating your Building to Period 8 • • • • • • • • • • Change the roof, change the floor and change the front door. In an apartment, paint the ceiling, change the carpet or flooring and change the front door. Remove 3 square metres of the roof for 9 days, preferably over the main door. If you have one or more skylights, the update is automatic. Likewise, if you have an enclosed courtyard or atrium that is open to the sky at the top, your building was automatically updated at the beginning of the period of 8. Get a new front door (solid wood is best) or renovate the existing one. Renovate and redecorate the building to make it ‘feel like new’. Clean out and completely air all storerooms and garages. Give away everything you have not used for more than two years. Tell your friends to do the same! Jampa Ludrup’s Introduction to Flying Star Feng Shui Course Grand Duke • You should not sit facing the Grand Duke or do renovations in the sector where he is located for the year. Year Compass direction Direction in degrees 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 Due West West-northwest North-northwest Due North North-northeast East-northeast Due East East-southeast 263 to 277 293 to 307 323 to 337 353 to 7 23 to 37 53 to 67 83 to 97 113 to 127 (W2) (NW1) (NW3) (N2) (NE1) (NE3) (E2) (SE1) • Do not sit facing these directions even if they are your best directions. • You can sit with your back towards him, but do not confront him in any way. Jampa Ludrup’s Introduction to Flying Star Feng Shui Course Three Killings • Do not sit with your back to this direction. You could get cricised. Year Compass direction Direction in degrees 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 East North West South East North West South 68 and 112 degrees 338 and 22 degrees 248 and 292 degrees 158 and 202 degrees 68 and 112 degrees 338 and 22 degrees 248 and 292 degrees 158 and 202 degrees • You can face these directions with no problem. Jampa Ludrup’s Introduction to Flying Star Feng Shui Course Five Yellows • • • • This really is deadly. If it occurs in the sector that contains your front door it is really pernicious. Usually, you must hang a six-rod wind chime to overcome the heavy negative earth influence that it brings. It can cause sickness and all kinds of mishaps. Year Location The Five Yellows negatively affects: 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 South North Southwest East Southeast Centre Northwest West Reputation, middle daughter, eyes Career, middle son, ears Relationships, matriarch, stomach/womb Health, eldest son, legs and feet Wealth, eldest daughter, hips and thighs Support for the whole family Mentors, patriarch, head and mind Children, youngest daughter, mouth/speech • Note that in 2004 some houses that enjoyed a lot of luck in the 20-year long period of 7 suddenly became very unlucky. You should check whether or not it is now advisable to change the front door direction and do some renovations. Jampa Ludrup’s Introduction to Flying Star Feng Shui Course Yearly Influences • You can see how the Five Yellows flies into each sector by applying the yearly Lo Shu square. 2012 2013 5 1 3 4 9 2 4 6 8 3 5 7 9 2 7 8 1 6 Jampa Ludrup’s Introduction to Flying Star Feng Shui Course Yearly Influences • • • Be aware of the negative influences that fly into your front door and your bedroom and try to control them. Control the 5 and the 2 with 6-rod wind chimes and the 3 with light. The central (reigning) numbers are as follows: 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 1 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 Jampa Ludrup’s Introduction to Flying Star Feng Shui Course Monthly Influences • • • In the same way, monthly influences fly around the nine sectors of the building. Determining the central (reigning number) for each month is a bit more tricky. Use the following table: Start of the month Year of Rat, Rabbit, Horse and Rooster (Bird) Year of Dog, Dragon, Ox and Sheep Year of Tiger, Pig, Snake and Monkey 4 Feb 8 5 2 6 March 7 4 1 5 April 6 3 9 6 May 5 2 8 6 June 4 1 7 7 July 3 9 6 8 August 2 8 5 8 September 1 7 4 8 October 9 6 3 7 November 8 5 2 7 December 7 4 1 6 January 6 3 9 Jampa Ludrup’s Introduction to Flying Star Feng Shui Course Monthly Influences • For example, the monthly chart for October 2012, which was the year of the Dragon had 6 as the reigning number. So the chart for that month is: Oct 2012 5 1 3 4 6 8 9 2 7 Jampa Ludrup’s Introduction to Flying Star Feng Shui Course Monthly Influences • If we add the monthly chart to the yearly chart we can see that all the influences were doubled and there wasgreatly increased risk of sickness for anyone with a bedroom in the Southeast of the house; even more so if they already have a 5 mountain star in that room. Oct 2012 3 1 5 1 5 8 6 4 4 9 8 6 2 9 3 7 2 7 Jampa Ludrup’s Introduction to Flying Star Feng Shui Course Applying the Lo Shu square to the building Front door facing Northeast. N NW W NE E centre SE SW S Jampa Ludrup’s Introduction to Flying Star Feng Shui Course Applying the Lo Shu square to the building In this example the front door is located in the east and faces south so the orientation of the building is south. This building has a missing corner in the southeast because the corner extends more than one third the width of the house. SE E NE S SW centre W N NW Jampa Ludrup’s Introduction to Flying Star Feng Shui Course Applying the Lo Shu square to the building What if the door is located at the side of the building? In this example the front door is facing west and is located in the southwest sector. This would be better for a West group person than a door facing south. If you have a front door at the side of the house you must make sure that there is a very well defined path leading to it. Line it with shrubs and lights to lead the positive energy to the door. SE S SW E centre W NE N NW Jampa Ludrup’s Introduction to Flying Star Feng Shui Course Applying the Lo Shu square to the building What if the front door is at an angle? In this example, the front door has been angled to the east to suit an East group person. The general orientation of the building is still northeast/south west however, making it a West group house. N NE E NW centre SE W SW S Jampa Ludrup’s Introduction to Flying Star Feng Shui Course Applying the Lo Shu square to the building Sometimes a building has a protruding corner. This is not so large that it creates missing corners in other sectors. In this example wealth luck, which is associated with the southeast would be enhanced. SE S SW E centre W NE N NW Jampa Ludrup’s Introduction to Flying Star Feng Shui Course Applying the Lo Shu square to the building SE In this example, the area in the southwest protrudes more than one third the width of the house and makes missing corners in the south and the southeast. E NE S centre N SW W NW Jampa Ludrup’s Introduction to Flying Star Feng Shui Course Applying the Lo Shu square to the building Irregularly shaped buildings pose something of a problem. Which parts are protruding, which parts are missing? You just have to make your best guess and then see how it works out. In this example, the southwest and northwest corners are almost completely missing . SE S SW E centre W NE N NW Jampa Ludrup’s Introduction to Flying Star Feng Shui Course Applying the Lo Shu square to the building Some geomancers prefer to use the compass rose to determine the various sectors in awkwardly shaped buildings. You can try using both methods to determine the positions of the sectors and see where they coincide. Those would then be good places to locate the enhancing elements. S SE SW E W NE NW N Jampa Ludrup’s Introduction to Flying Star Feng Shui Course Applying the Lo Shu square to the building Front door facing Northeast 1. N NW W NE E centre SE SW S Jampa Ludrup’s Introduction to Flying Star Feng Shui Course Applying the Flying Star chart to the building • Work out the Flying Star chart for a period 7 house facing NE1 . 5 6 6 9 9 8 4- 4 8 5 1 NE1 1 2 7 3 5 7 1+ 2 6 3 4 9 8 7 3 2 Jampa Ludrup’s Introduction to Flying Star Feng Shui Course Applying the Flying Star chart to the building • Apply the chart to the floor plan. 8 6 1 3 3 4 3 1 7 7 4 8 5 5 9 6 7 8 9 6 1 2 2 4 9 5 2 Jampa Ludrup’s Introduction to Flying Star Feng Shui Course Applying the Flying Star chart to an apartment • • Apply the chart to the floor plan of the entire apartment block. Check the sectors that contain your apartment to see if they are auspicious or need some controlling elements . NE1 8 6 1 3 3 9 • 6 2 4 3 7 1 5 9 6 7 7 4 8 5 1 8 2 4 9 5 2 This apartment could suffer from arguments and discord in the Northwest, so it is better not to hang a wind chime there, which might stir up the negative 3/2 star combination Jampa Ludrup’s Introduction to Flying Star Feng Shui Course Applying the Flying Star chart to an apartment • • If your apartment front door faces the same direction as the apartment block front door then you receive the same ‘small Chi’ as the ‘big Chi’ of the whole block. The same principle applies to the rooms within a house, shopping centre or office building. NE 8 6 1 3 8 1 2 4 3 1 7 5 5 9 6 9 6 7 4 8 5 7 8 9 6 1 3 2 4 8 5 1 6 3 6 4 9 5 2 9 5 2 Jampa Ludrup’s Introduction to Flying Star Feng Shui Course Applying the charts to difficult buildings • • • In general, it is very difficult to do Flying Star analysis on individual apartments or any building when the front door or most Yang direction is unclear. It becomes very ‘hit and miss’. If you are confused then the Chi is confused. You can experiment with the 8 water star, by placing a small fountain in the area where you think it may be and then seeing if you receive unexpected income within the 9-day daily cycle of the stars. If you do, it reveals the entire Lo Shu square orientation for Flying Star analysis. You may have to try a number of different locations before you find it. Remember that water features must flow towards the centre, representing wealth coming in. The water can be recycled from the bottom of the fountain, but the overall direction must be inwards, not outwards .
