"By the way Chinese Astrological techniques are based not on the stars movement like recent astrology but it's rather environmental changes. So what kind of environment was at that time when person was born or the house was built. And for the house, for the Flying Star, the technique is based on the year the was built in a very precise compass measurement. So this is why compass is square. I usually do the compass measurement outside, trying to do it far away from metal, from cars and other metal pieces. So I stand in a very nice, relaxed position and I align the compass. I find the north, so here's the north, and I align the needle with the north. And I align the compass with the house. So this way, I know precisely how house faces. So, it's interesting to know that compass was invented in China, not for navigational reasons but for Feng Shui reasons. And women were considered to be better than men for making a precise compass measurements because women are more actually in tune with earth. So men considered to be all in their mind and they're more connected to heaven."
