The technique of finding the center is called ‘Li Ji’. Here is a short description to guide you.

In determining the physical center of an octagon, a square, a rectangular, we simply connect the extremeties of these structures by imaginary lines, while these lines will remain within the structure itself. The physical center will be where these lines cross. For a triangle, we cut it into six slices.

For circles and oval structures, we may extend the imaginary lines to somewhat outside the structure until we reach an imaginary square or rectangle. Again, where these lines cross we will find the physical center of the object.

It becomes different when we need to find the center for irregular or asymmetrical structures, where we may not just need to extend the lines outside the structure, but here we may need to compensate.

For an L-shape, we first divide the structure into two subsectors after which we determine the center of each one of these shapes. Then we connect the centers of these subsectors and we will find the physical center of the entire structure somewhere along this line, proportionally more towards the bigger one of the two shapes.

Projecting your Flying Star chart

Once you found the physical center of the structure, determine the exact directions by establishing the north-south axis. Superimpose the Flying Star chart over the floorplan according to the actual directions.

You can determine the physical center for each floor and each individual room in your house. The same Flying Star chart that applies to your house, will – under normal conditions – apply for all floors and all individual rooms.

Important note

You need to distinguish between physical center and Qi center. The physical center of your house may not be the Qi center within your interior. Everything can be considered the center of Qi, as long as we choose it as our point of reference.

Moreover, the Stars will not behave in any rigid way that would be perhaps suggested by the demarcation lines in the Luo Pan. So, whenever you determine the physical center, sure, try to do this part correctly, but once you found it, and auditing the house, don’t be too schizophrenic about your applications, because your audit does not depend on inches.
