I used this book to site a new house. I think I may have proven the idea that a little Feng Shui knowledge is dangerous. I went on Eva Wongs statement that the String of Pearls or Parent String house needed no corrections. Beguiling, right? I got very excited! I built a perfect rectangle, no bump outs. The path from the door to the center is wide open (no walls). I have since learned that yes, it is possible that having the 2/5 stars in the center (you just gasped, didn't you?) may be ok in period 8, I am probably in deep trouble come 2024. I built the whole house myself, literally pouring my own foundation (don't do that, it is really hard)- so now the building is set and can not be shifted.

Feng Shui is hard. This is a good book, but if you are serious and using this book for building a home beware. There is more to know and you should consult a specialist. I learned the hard way.

Such a great, great book! Used to be one of my all times No.1 on FS.
Now I combine it with a new release (2017 or 2016) "Course in Real Feng Shui" as support to my professional practice and consultations.

This is a great book on Feng Shui and Flying Stars, presented by authentic master.
The book also contains a lot of case studies and it’s ideal for all those who would want to learn more about real Feng Shui practice.
