The 180-year Cycle of the Purple White Flying Stars

Auspicious and Inauspicious Flying Stars
| Period 8 | ||||||||||||||||||
|
Kua Number 8 is in charge of Period 8. It's the most powerful flying star from 2004 to 2023. 9-Purple and `-White are the successors; both of them are the next powerful flying stars. 7-Red is the Past flying star; its power is weakening. All other flying stars are not in the spotlight. That means 8-White, 9-Purple, and 1-White are the auspicious flying stars in the Period 8. 8-White is in charge of the northeast corner of a place. 8-White is related to wealth. If we beautify the room at the northeast corner of the house, then Feng Shui will bring us good luck and fortune.
Period 8 is Ken, which is a mountain in I-Ching. From the Five Element view, Kua Number 8 is in the Earth group. Therefore, the strength of 2-Black and 8-White corners of a house will be stronger in these 20 years. If an 8-White Kua person lives in an 8-White Kua house, he or she will be luckier according to the theory of Feng Shui. In this case, we can say the right person lives in the right house at the right time.
| Period 9 | ||||||||||||||||||

Period 9 of Flying Star is from 2024 to 2043. 9-Purple is in charge of the Period 9. It's the most powerful flying star during the Period 9. 1-White and 2-Black are the potential flying stars because they are the successors. 8-White is losing its power. But it is not retired yet. All other flying stars have lower energy. 9-Purple is the ruler of the southern territory. Therefore, good energy will gather on the south side of a place. 9-Purple is in the Fire group. The color of red can increase good luck energy.
