Feng Shui/Setting Up A Geomantic Chart/Mountain Stars

The Mountain Stars refer to the "Sitting Direction" of a house or building. Mountain Stars are filled into the Geomantic Chart in the following order:

[Row 2, Column 2]
[Row 3, Column 3]
[Row 2, Column 3]
[Row 3, Column 1]
[Row 1, Column 2]
[Row 3, Column 2]
[Row 1, Column 3]
[Row 2, Column 1]
[Row 1, Column 1]

[Row 1, Column 1]	[Row 1, Column 2]	[Row 1, Column 3]
[Row 2, Column 1]	[Row 2, Column 2]	[Row 2, Column 3]
[Row 3, Column 1]	[Row 3, Column 2]	[Row 3, Column 3]

Notes: The first Palace to be filled in is [Row 2, Column 2], followed by [Row 3, Column 3], ... , and finally [Row 1, Column 1].

Yang Direction

For movement in the Yang Direction, the numbers will be filled in in increasing order. In other words, if a number is n, then the next number will be n+1, except when n=9. If n=9, then the next number will be 1, followed by 2, 3,... that is:

8	4	6
7	9	2
3	5	1

[Row 2, Column 2] = 9
[Row 3, Column 3] = 1
[Row 2, Column 3] = 2
[Row 3, Column 1] = 3
[Row 1, Column 2] = 4
[Row 3, Column 2] = 5
[Row 1, Column 3] = 6
[Row 2, Column 1] = 7
[Row 1, Column 1] = 8

The following table depicts the above Yang movement in the classical format, where "E" represents the Earth Base:

⁸E	⁴E	⁶E
⁷E	⁹E	²E
³E	⁵E	¹E

Yin Direction

For movement in the Yin Direction, the numbers will be filled in in decreasing order. In other words, if a number is n, then the next number will be n-1, except when n=1. If n=1, then the next number will be 9, followed by 8, 7,... that is:

2	6	4
3	1	8
7	5	9

[Row 2, Column 2] = 1
[Row 3, Column 3] = 9
[Row 2, Column 3] = 8
[Row 3, Column 1] = 7
[Row 1, Column 2] = 6
[Row 3, Column 2] = 5
[Row 1, Column 3] = 4
[Row 2, Column 1] = 3
[Row 1, Column 1] = 2

The following table depicts the above Yin movement in the classical format, where "E" represents the Earth Base:

²E	⁶E	⁴E
³E	¹E	⁸E
⁷E	⁵E	⁹E
