Does a Master of esoteric Feng Shui use the date my house was built (called a ‘period’) to create a Flying Star chart?
No. In authentic Feng Shui there is no such thing as the ‘period’ of a house and the year the house was built is not used to create any charts. In addition, a Flying Star chart is not created using the year the roof went onto the house. A house is considered ‘dead.’ The belief in and application of this FX method stems from a misunderstanding of the Yi-Jing as well as to the feng shui practioner’s lack of understanding certain astronomical occurrences of importance.
