Period 9 is a rather unique period in that it’s natal charts for flying stars are only made up of 9 possible star combinations out of the total of 81.
And since there are 9 palaces within a bagua map, it means that all these 9 star combinations will be present in every period 9 property, whether it is a residence or commercial space.
And amusingly, all these combinations add up to the number 9.
The star combinations are namely:
1-8; 8-1; 2-7; 7-2; 3-6; 6-3; 4-5; 5-4; 9-9
The limited number of star combinations that can be generated also implies that it is less cumbersome to analyze period 9 homes compared to other periods.
As long as we are able to grasp these 9 combinations, they can be applied to every property constructed in period 9.
