Reading the chart against a floor plan

The chart maps to the eight directions of any home. To use it:

1. Identify your home’s facing direction. The facing direction is the side of the home with the main qi intake — usually the front door or the largest collection of windows. Use a magnetic compass standing in front of the home.
2. Divide the floor plan into the eight sectors plus centre. Use a 3×3 grid centred on the home’s geometric centre. Each cell of the grid corresponds to one of the eight directions plus the central palace.
3. Look up which star occupies which direction in 2009. Use the chart above. The North-direction sector of your home holds Star 5; the Southeast-direction sector holds Star 8; etc.
4. Note which rooms fall in each sector. A room may fall partly in two sectors if it spans the boundary — in that case, the larger portion determines the assignment.
