Flying Stars combination for September, 2022

North Sector~ stars 1 & 9

(Hetu- sum of ten) 

Hexagram 64~ "Before Completion"

"Fire over water: the image before transition,

Accordingly, in times “before completion,” deliberation and caution are the prerequisites of success!"

The North is the best sector to activate this month, if your goal is to attract opportunities, charm and connect with people to increase your social status either for promotion or to create followers ( if in social media) . One's good work should however be visible to their superiors or network of people to gain the desired results.

When activating the sector, remember NOT to use ground-breaking activities and renovations since this will provoke the 3 killings star which is visiting the sector this year. 

NorthEast Sector~ stars 8 & 7

Hexagram 31~ "Influence~ Pursuing"

"A lake on the mountain:
The image of influence.
Thus the superior man encourages people to approach him
by his readiness to receive them."

Be ready to work hard and persevere if you have Life Gua 8 since the entrance of metal star 7 at the NE sector tends to drain and exhaust the energy of the earth star.

If you are looking for ways to pull together funding or increase in resources, the NE is a sector to activate, however one must be ready and be persistent  to work hard since it may take a long time.  

It is best to activate only the NE2 sector since NE3 has the Grand duke visiting and NE1 is part of the 3 killings for the year. 

Continue to keep the NE 1 and NE3 sectors quiet. When negotiating, keep your back to the Grand Duke sector for support. 

East Sector ~ stars 3 & 2

Hexagram 24~ "Returning-The Turning point"

"After a time of decay comes the turning point.The idea of RETURN is based on the course of nature. The movement is cyclic, and the course completes itself. Therefore it is not necessary to hasten anything artificially. "

The Illness star 2 flies to the East and combines with the persistent wood star 3 which may mean endless disputes or relentless illness ( specifically the liver) 

Keep the East sector quiet this month and if possible do not use this sector as your bedroom if you have a long standing illness. Remember to keep a red lamp lighted at the sector to lessen the effects of the combination of stars 3 and 2 .

After all, these unfavorable energies too shall pass and will return to their  original state. One good thing is the elements of wood and earth are weak this season so the ill effects will not be compounding.

Southeast Sector~ 4 & 3

Hexagram 32~ "Duration"

"Thunder and wind: the image of DURATION.
Thus the superior man stands firm
And does not change his direction.

"Duration is a state whose movement is not worn down by hindrances. In the same way the independence of the superior man is not based on rigidity and immobility of character. He always keeps abreast of the time and "changes" with it. What endures is the unswerving directive, the inner law of his being, which determines all his actions."

The Southeast is again a good sector to activate this month if your goal is to achieve more knowledge and information and increase your likeability.

The energy of the stars 4 and 3 combination is competitive, persistent but smart! One should know and be capable of how to process the information or proficiency that is presented to them. The Sector is a good place for your study table. 

Place a healthy, lush plant in water at the SE sector if you have not done so at the beginning of this year, if you want to be noticed and affirmed for your hard work.

South Sector ~ stars 9 & 8

Hexagram 22~ "Grace and Elegance"

"Fire at the foot of the mountain:
The image of GRACE.
Thus does the superior man proceed
When clearing up current affairs.
But he dare not decide controversial issues in this way."

The fire, whose light illuminates the mountain and makes it pleasing does not shine far; in the same way, beautiful form suffices to brighten and to throw light upon matters of a lesser moment, so important questions cannot be decided in this way. They require greater devotion and contemplation!

Everyone knows it takes hard work to attain and maintain beauty and elegance!

The combination of flying star 8 with 9 at the South sector if activated this month would give one the energy to "shine" brighter but it will require hard work. Everyone will tend to push the work on you. It will be a good thing if this will entail increase in income or wealth, if not , then better learn to work smart!

Southwest Sector ~ stars  2 & 1

Hexagram 8~ "Holding Together"

"On the earth is water:
The image of HOLDING TOGETHER. Water flows to unite with water, because all parts of it are subject to the same laws.

So too should human society hold together through a community of interests that allows each individual to feel himself a member of a whole."

Keep the Southwest quiet again this month and do not use it as your bedroom if you have a longstanding illness. The combination of the Illness star with the water star 1 may bring about aggravating illnesses especially to the digestive tract.

The energy however is useful for those involved in the accumulation of resources, reserves or manpower ( such as human resources, military and the treasury) and for those treating illnesses ( medical field) 

West Sector~ stars 7 & 6

Hexagram 10~ "Conduct"

"Heaven above, the lake below:
The image of TREADING.
Thus the superior man discriminates between high and low,
And thereby fortifies the thinking of the people."

The situation is really difficult. That which is strongest and that which is weakest are close together. The weak follows behind the strong and worries it. The strong, however, acquiesces and does not hurt the weak, because the contact is in good humor and harmless.

In terms of a human situation, one is handling wild, intractable people. In such a case one’s purpose will be achieved if one behaves with decorum. Remember, pleasant manners succeed even with irritable people.

The Combination of stars 7 ( broken soldier~ metal) and

6 (star of authority~ another metal) would involve fight for authority wherein agreement is difficult to reach. 

If you have to use this sector for the month, remember not to be the initiator of the fight.

The energy at the West will however be good for those in management as long as one keeps a very gracious and congenial attitude.

Northwest Sector ~ stars 6 & 5

Hexagram 9 ~ "The Taming Power of the Small"

"The wind drives across heaven:
The image of THE TAMING POWER OF THE SMALL.
Thus the superior man
Refines the outward aspect of his nature."

"The wind can indeed drive the clouds together in the sky; yet, being nothing but air, without solid body, it does not produce great or lasting effects. So also an individual, in times when he can produce no great effect in the outer world, can do nothing except refine the expression of his nature in small ways."

The Presence of the Yellow star 5 in combination with the star of authority (star 6) brings about energy of over- exertion to challenge authority which could make everyone's temper to rise!

If you have to use the NW sector often this month remember to keep your temper down. It is a good time instead to upgrade your skills and refine your worth and value to your group or organization.
