In the Eight Mansions and Flying Stars systems of Feng Shui,
the term "Star" is used to represent a body of Qi.
These Stars are frequently assigned a number and/or color
to help us understand the types of Qi they represent and
the ways that they can affect us.
In Eight Mansions Feng Shui,
there are four Stars that bring positive effects. They are:
- Sheng Qi, which means "life generating".
in classical Feng Shui texts, this Star is sometimes called
Tan Lang, meaning "Greedy Wolf".
Sheng Qi is associated with the Wood Phase and it governs
success, authority, nobility, status and wealth aspects in our lives.
Sheng Qi is thus a good Star to tap into for career or wealth-related pursuits,
but is not conducive for rest or sleep-related activities.
- Tian Yi, the "Heavenly Doctor".
In classical texts, this Star is often called Ju Men,
or "Huge Door". It is represented by the Earth Phase and relates to
the presence of noble people, status and health prospects.
Tian Yi is a good Star to use for rest and recouperation,
or when one needs help from mentors in one's career.
Tian Yi can also impact one's ability to persuade or convince others,
due to its association with nobility.
- Yan Nian, which represents longevity.
The original name for the Yan Nian Star is Wu Qui, or
"Military Arts". Yan Nian is associated with the Metal Phase and with good relationships
with other people. It also governs communication and networking aspects,
as well as family harmony and domestic bliss.
- Fu Wei, which brings stability.
In classical texts, Fu Wei is called Fu Bi, meaning "Assistant".
It is associated with the Wood Phase and it brings calmness and tranquility.
Fu Wei is a good star to tap into for meditation, concentration or study.
