5.0 out of 5 stars
A good addition to your feng shui library,
By Theresa Reed "The Tarot Lady" (MILWAUKEE, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Flying Star Feng Shui (Paperback)
I bought this book a few weeks ago and have been going through it very slowly. There is a lot of information here. You need to digest it a bit at a time, rather than plough through it. Stephen Skinner gives detailed information - he covers the theories, formulas, interpretations and room by room analysis thoroughly. He also includes fascinating history on feng shui - making this more than a 'how to' book. I also like the fact that he explains the "wild stars" such as the Grand Duke Jupiter. Other feng shui books were sometimes not very clear on these and his explanations really helped me to understand them better. Lots of great charts in here, plus an excellent appendix with information on Chinese Dynasties and Feng Shui Chronology and more! His list of the typical analysis sequence in the back also gives a great idea of what to include in a feng shui diagnosis. I would definitely recommend this book. Add the following books, and your feng shui library is complete:

This review is from: Flying Star Feng Shui (Paperback)
There's a method of traditional feng shui called Flying Star. For the uninitiated, it's akin to knowing the astrology of your home: the probability of auspicious or inauspicious health-, wealth-, and relationship-related events occuring within your living and/or working space. Flying Star is a numbers game. The year your home was built along with the building's directionality produces a numeric qi map. The configuration of numbers tell you what's going on now and what can possibly happen in the future. Once you know the numbers that correlate with a specific area within your home, you then set about enhancing good prospects and discouraging the bad ones. How? Well, you'll have to read the book! I'm a big fan of Stephen Skinner's work. In this book, he begins with the fundamentals of Chinese cosmology. Then, step-by-step, he shows you how to perform a Flying Star audit. The information is clear, concise, and very well written and illustrated.

Exactly what I was looking for!,
By Alice - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Flying Star Feng Shui (Paperback)
This isn't the easiest book to either read or understand, but there's an incredibly amount of information packed into a relatively small book.I don't think this is a very good first book for Feng Shui, but it's a great great library addition! I too would recommend The Idiot's Guide to Feng Shui for a first introduction. THEN buy this book, as it adds to it by quite a bit. I wish there were a stronger focus on remedies, I have yet to find a feng shui book that covers all the potential remedies for all the different circumstance. Every Feng Shui book spends a huge part in the beginning explaining Feng Shui... if you are a total beginner, a book of this type won't make sense anyway, fast intro notwithstanding. If you are not, it's just wasted pages, because every book covers the intro over and over again. I'm still looking for that perfect book that dispenses with the Feng Shui intros and leads right into remedies... ie., the Host/Guest relationship in this book uses as it's only example a positive positive. What happens when you have a 6M 5T 4W combo in a critically active office? What do you do? I have yet to see a single book that answers this (if any readers can answer this, please email me!). I give it a 5, because it's the most comprehensive book of 5 I own on the subject next to the Idiot's Guide. |
