How to use
From your first reading to floor plans, Eight Mansions and the annual flying stars. A screen-by-screen guide to the steps people most often ask about.
Before you start: Version 3.0.0 brings Flying Star and Eight Mansions together on the Home Feng Shui screen. Check the direction with Compass, then switch to 9 Directions to choose either method. Select a direction and tap Details to see both results on one screen.
The app builds the Flying Star chart from the year you moved in and the facing direction of your home. Automatic measurement needs location access. If the direction is unstable, you can enter it manually.
When you first open the app, choose the year you moved into your current home. The app uses this year to set the Period and build the chart. To change it later, open Period Setting from Settings at the top right of Home Feng Shui.
The app uses the year your relationship with the home began. Even for a pre-owned or renovated home, choose the year you moved in.
Choose Compass at the bottom of Home Feng Shui. To measure automatically, allow location access. Hold your device level, around your lower abdomen, and point it toward the facing direction of your home.
Use the side with the most outside air, view, daylight and openness. Houses often use the entrance and apartments the balcony, but decide based on your own home.
Stay away from magnets, metal and appliances, and measure outside the entrance or on the balcony. If your case has a magnet, take it off and measure again.
Choose 9 Directions at the bottom of Home Feng Shui, then select Flying Star below the grid. The nine-square chart uses the same facing direction you measured.
Tap a direction for a summary of its Flying Star and Eight Mansions results. Tap Details to see both interpretations and guidance for that direction.
As one guide, check whether important spaces such as the entrance, bedroom and kitchen sit in directions with a lucky Facing Star (1, 8 or 9).
From the Floor Plan tab, import a floor plan from the camera or your photo library. You can check a home before you move in, and save the plans you set up.
North on a floor plan is usually true north, but a feng shui Luopan uses magnetic north. To correct the difference, called declination, pick the home's location on the map.
Eight Mansions feng shui compares your Life Gua, based on your birth date and gender, with the House Gua, based on the home's facing direction. Register your Life Gua through Settings → Life Gua Setting at the top right of Home Feng Shui. Because the year changes at the Start of Spring, enter your birth date accurately if you were born before it.
Open Annual Flying Star from the Settings menu at the top right of Home Feng Shui. Switch years to review each direction's themes, such as wealth, health and study, across the nine squares.
