Lillian Too indeed is world renowned as one of the top Feng Shui experts of the 21st century. In fact, Ms. Too is also a highly prolific Feng Shui author. Her longer books go in depth into Feng Shui typically providing both a lot of illustration examples and well-structured books. "Flying Star Feng Sui for Period 8" is certainly one of those books packed with plenty of color illustrations and photo examples to reinforce and demonstrate what Ms. Too covers.

"Flying Star Feng Sui for Period 8" is what I would describe to a Western as an Advanced Beginner or Intermediate level Feng Shui book. While this book is easy to use, it is not a "Dummies" or "Idiots" book starting at the very beginning of your knowledge of Feng Shui. Ms. Too writes to an audience which is presumed to already have something of a working knowledge already of 8 Mansion (sort of like Beginners Feng Shui to lay a FS foundation) and Flying Star Feng Shui (next level of advanced knowledge of Feng Shui, incorporating the TIME dimension into Feng Shui).

Period 8, there are 20 year periods in Fly Star (Time Dimension) Feng Shui. And Period 8 (I had just started hearing about it, but had no idea what is was, hence my giving a short explanation of what it is) started Feb 4th, 2004. The book addresses the influences of Period 8 just at the 20 year level, not in a yearly sort of Feng Shui Almanac nor at the more granule levels of Months, Days or Hours.

The Chapters are:

*Introduction*
Addresses and introduces the idea of TIME PERIOD FENG SHUI, time as an additional dimension within Feng Shui, touching on your Natal Chart, Flying Star Feng Shui, the HSIA (Chinese) Calendar, and Feng Shui Annual Afflictions.

*CHAPTER ONE*
Time Dimension Feng Shui
Luck Sectors and Time Periods, Period Change as well as Other Feng Shui methods, The Ending of Period 7, What to Expect in Period 8, Feng Shui Implications in the Period Change. The illustrations Ms. Too provides in this chapter led me finally to grasp Water Stars and Mountain Stars in a Natal. This is part of what I mean in how useful the color illustrations are in addition to the beautiful color photographs (and also helpful as illustration examples). How to Analyze a Flying Star Chart (Sequence of 6 Steps which she provides.). Determining the Right Chart to Use. How to Superimpose the Chart (how to place this well over your own home's floorplan layout.). The Meaning of the Numbers (which show in the chart). The Auspicious Specials. Analyzing the Element of the Chart.

*CHAPTER TWO*
Analyzing Period 7 Charts
This is like setting the stage to reflect on the Period which just ended.
She provides charts on the different facing direction houses and cites a recommendation for certain house to Change to a Period 8 House (which she addresses more a little about what the would mean later in the book.).

*CHAPTER THREE*
Analyzing Period 8 Charts
(You are going to want to read this sort of once through completely to let it wash over your brain a first time, and then come back to what is relevant for your specific needs repeatedly, especially as a reference.) Includes the Period 8 Base Chart and about 2 pages per Facing Direction House's chart with analysis of their numbers for Period 8.

*CHAPTER FOUR*
Comparing Period 7 & 8 Charts
You'll see the significant changes that Period 8 brings. Addresses such topics as The Chi Energy of the Main Door, How to Determine Facing Direction (including some illustrations of particular challenges) and the directive to check several times (which you might not think is so important to do until you start to realize how things are different in an apartment tower, an apartment complex, and a subdivision cluster of houses with a gated entry area). Ms. Too devotes 2 or 3 pages to each Facing Direction House and what they had in Period 7 and what they will be like in Period 8. She provides the Flying Star Feng Shui 9 Grids Chart and then superimposes them on an example house floor plan. I found these to be invaluably helpful for grasping the Feng Shui concepts and deeply at this more advanced level.


*CHAPTER FIVE*
Activating Auspicious Water Stars for Wealth
Explains what a Water Star is, not just bandying the term about. With Water Brings Wealth. Activating Your Water Star 8. Swimming Pools (and Ponds). Flow of Water. Decorative Ponds. Natural Rivers and Lakes. Capturing the Chi of a River. Man Made Waterfalls. Double 8 (explains it, too) in the Sitting Place. Water 8 with Mountain 5. Water Inside the House. Water Features for the Home. Creative Water Features.

*CHAPTER SIX*
Activating Mountain Stars for Relationship & Health Luck
Explains what a Mountain Star is, also. Auspicious Mountain Stars. Bad Mountain Stars. Mountain Star 8. Activating Mountain Star 8. Decorative Walls (and uses some great photograph examples). Mountain Paintings.

*CHAPTER SEVEN*
Changing House Period
Ms. Too provides tips on points to consider before choosing to change the Period of your house, typically by renovation of some sort. And here she provides some options (not extensive as that is the not the topic of this book) for ways to change the period of your house.

...but in no way is this the book for you to learn the basics of Flying Star Feng Shui. Also this is not the book for you if you do not already have a working knowledge of Traditional Compass Feng Shui. The tables are beautifully outlined for periods 7 and 8 and the diagrams are neatly displayed. It's even in a compact pocketbook size to reinforce the fact that it's only a reference guide. It gives some nice hints for each type of house, but does not explain the correlation between the main gua to the period star with the mountain and water stars. It also did not explain how to change a 2/3 home to a 1 home although it highly recommended that one should do so on certain homes.

If you practice Feng Shui or follow Lillian Too, this is the best book out of the whole collection in my opinion.
Flying star is the most potent way to activate tremendous wealth, health and relationships.

The book is easy to read and understand if you've read any of Lillian's other books.
This is a little more advanced, but well worth understanding.

Does it work? A week after finding my wealth and mountain star at the front door and activating it with a water feature...

-My wife got a $600 bonus check unexpectedly the next day
-I found $900 in extra cash that I didn't know I had
-Some guy out of the clear blue contacted me for a project that will make me $2,500
-I also got a job promotion at work
-My two year old is sleeping in her own room
-Everyone in the house laughs and smiles more

I wonder what will happen in the next few days. I anxiously look forward to each day with excitement.

Like Lillian says in the book...once activated, it will be potent and will work in a day to a week.
Wow...a must read for everyone!

I can't recommend enough!!!

This book isn't for beginners, but if you have basic knowledge of Flying Stars, it is perfect. It's very small, only meant for reference I believe. I'm in the market for a new home, and I take it with me when I look at houses. It's been great for a quick reference on how the Flying Stars affect a home. I use it all the time for that purpose.

this book is great. It has a grid for each house chart and has descriptions in each box for what to do in the area for cures.. this is the first book that shows the actual house 9 grid flying star chart and then an explanation in each grid depending on the facing direction. This is great sort out the 5 stars in each sector by trying to figure them out in relation to each other which can be frustrating and confusing. This makes it so easy !!
