Apartment Design For Apartment Living: The period your apartment building was built is imperative to flying star feng shui
Apartment Design For Apartment Living: If you have decided that your apartment is going to be long term, you should consider using the flying star school of feng shui. In the previous article, we talked about facing direction, in this article I want to focus on the period time continuum of your apartment.
If you are in a single floor apartment, such as a duplex or triplex, or on the top floor of a multi-story apartment building, knowing when the sub-roof was last replaced is paramount. The reason the sub-roof is so important is because starting in period 3 roofing technology changed. Instead of slats with open gaps for a sub-roof construction, Western architecture went to using plywood or chip board sheets. This made for a strong and less expensive roof, but it also changed some rules about roofs in traditional flying star, because the flying star school changes periods when the roof is replaced, that is if the roof was replaced in a different period. With this different system of roofing, the replacement of shingle or tiles no longer opens the structure to the stars, thus you need to know when the sub-roof of most Western buildings were replaced, not the roofing that lays on top.
Second the period of most Western multi-story buildings have a similar obstacle to period changes. The top floor of a multi-story structure will be based on the date of replacement of the sub-roof. The floors below will, unless opened up to the stars, remain the same period that the modern structure was built. For the floors below the top floor to be opened to the stars there would have to be a major structural remodeling, fire, etc. for a period change to take place. So, knowing the history of your building is imperative to “Flying the Stars”.
Most multi-story apartment buildings in America, will not have had major restructuring, so if your apartment isn’t on the top floor then you can use the period that the building was constructed. Of course if your apartment is on the top floor you’ll need to know when the sub-roof was last replaced.
From February of 2004 to February of 2024 is the period 8, which is the current period. So, if your apartment building was constructed after 2004 you’ll use the period 8 chart based on the facing direction of your apartment building. But , if your building was built previous to 2004 you will need to look up the period and then get the pertinent period chart for your apartment. As you know, we use apartment to refer to any condo, pud unit, triplex, duplex, etc.
Once you have the period that your apartment building or apartment has “trapped the stars from”, then all you need is the facing direction to get the period chart for your apartment. Next you’ll have to figure where the sectors fall within your apartment, that’s for next time.
