If you ask any feng shui practitioner what would be the best facing for period 9, almost all of them would probably answer with it depends.

And rightly so.

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
