In a more advanced practice of Feng Shui known as Flying Stars, the numbers in the original Lo Shu Grid as shown below ‘fly’ around the grid in a set pattern and create what is known as ‘Time Dimension Feng Shui.’

| 4 | 9 | 2 |
| 3 | 5 | 6 |
| 8 | 1 | 7 |

The numbers in the grid move in the same set sequence regardless of the period, therefore the number 1 (North) flies to the Southwest, the number 2 (Southwest) flies to East, the number 3 (East) flies to the Southeast and so on.
This current period of eight places the number ‘8’ in the centre grid and it runs from 2004 to 2023.
The number eight is an Earth number and the central grid is an Earth area. The number 8 in the original grid is situated in the Northeast and that is an Earth area signifying the mountain. The mountain implies solidarity and stability rather than change and that is the prevailing energy for this 20-year period.
As well as flying stars for each of nine 20-year periods, there are also annual and monthly flying star changes occurring.
All of these changes have an influence on the energy of a space, therefore affecting the balance of the energy in your home and work.
As an example, in the current 20-year period the centre grid is currently housing the strong number 8 star, which is the ultimate auspicious star in Feng Shui, also known as one of the three ‘white’ stars, so enhancing the centre of your home with earth items such as crystals or pebbles is beneficial.
In the 2012 Flying Star chart the number 6 star also an auspicious ‘white’ star is in the central grid.
This is a metal star which also represents heaven luck. This is auspicious for the whole family as it invites powerfully auspicious heaven energy into the home.
In the exhaustive cycle of the Five Elements Metal exhausts Earth so this does have the effect of weakening the powerful number 8 star. It therefore makes it doubly important to enhance the centre with earth elements to maintain its strength.
By introducing the Fire element in the form of light into the centre, the Fire is enhancing the Earth and therefore strengthening it. The most auspicious combination to create this strength is a crystal chandelier, which represents the best of Fire and Earth through light and crystals.
At the same time as enhancing the element of Earth in the centre the Fire is also ‘destroying’ the Metal of the number 6 star.
The Five Elements is a fundamental part of all Feng Shui practice as it is necessary to analyse the effect each number or ‘star’ has on each point of the compass.
Each of the twelve lunar months will also have an effect on the energy in any area so by having a good working knowledge of the Five Elements it is possible to make the most of the very strong central star ‘8’ in this current 20-year period.
Your home has its own Lo Shu Grid based on when it was built or last renovated. To retain positive Yang Energy in your home it is recommended that homes be updated to bring them into the current period of new positive energy. Any home built since 2004 or renovated by changing the flooring, the roof and the front door will benefit from the energies of this current period of eight.
