1) The Master’s Foundation of Bagua, with eight symbols representing natural phenomena. The Bagua, combined in pairs, form 64 hexagrams, representing all things in the universe. Each of the 64 hexagrams has 6 lines; the Qian and Kun hexagrams each have an extra line, totaling 386 lines. The 64 hexagrams and 386 lines, each with corresponding hexagram and line texts. The Ten Heavenly Stems: Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui. The Twelve Earthly Branches: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai.

The fourteen main stars, auxiliary stars, ten gods, Hetu and Luoshu... the above information is integrated into the Luo Pan, as shown in the diagram below. Looks complicated?

Luo Shu Nine Palace Formula: Wear nine, step one, left three, right seven, 2 and 4 are shoulders, 6 and 8 are feet, 5 is at the center.
Using the Nine-Star Flying Star chart, convert Luo Shu numbers into base nine using a base-9 algorithm, as follows: 04, 10, 0203, 05, 0708, 01, 06.
Xuan Kong School Feng Shui Flying Star Chart: Based on Luo Shu, bring the current star into the central palace; for example, when the White Eight Star (Bai Bai) is dominant, the number “8” appears in the center of the nine-grid. When the number 8 appears in the center, it’s equivalent to adding “3” to “05”; similarly, add 3 to each palace in turn. The results are: 07, 13, 0506, 08, 1112, 04, 10.
Take the last digit, and that is the result of the Nine-Star Chart: 7, 3, 56, 8, 12.
