Boiled down to its essentials, here's how you calculate a Flying Star chart:

1)  Get the year the house was built.

2)  Get the facing degree.

3)  From the year the house was built, determine the Period.

4)  Write the Period into the "Time Star" section of the central palace, and fill in the rest of the series, counting forward in numerical order, following the pattern I showed you.

5)  Determine which palace is the Facing Palace - and by logical extension which is the Mountain Palace (it being directly opposite to the Facing Palace).  The Time Star in the Facing Palace is the Facing Star in the central palace.  The Time Star in the Mountain Palace is the Mountain Star in the central palace.

6)  Write each of those into the proper section of the central palace.

7)  Figure out which direction each of those series moves, and write them into the map according to our pattern.

      That's it!  E-Z as pie.
