In Feng Shui, a system of geomancy originating from ancient China, annual and monthly energy charts are used to map the movement of energy, often referred to as “stars,” within a given space. These charts are essential tools for practitioners to understand the influences impacting a building and its occupants. A software application or online tool assists in generating these charts based on the building’s orientation and the current year and month, simplifying a traditionally complex calculation process.
This digital mapping of energy distribution offers a practical approach to applying Feng Shui principles. By understanding the locations of auspicious and inauspicious energy, practitioners can advise on furniture placement, renovations, and other adjustments to harmonize a space and potentially enhance various aspects of life, such as health, relationships, and prosperity. The historical context lies in the intricate calculations traditionally performed manually using a compass, the Lo Shu square, and complex formulas; these automated tools provide accessibility and efficiency in modern practice.
