The flying stars locations are as follow (based on the lo-shu grid):-

Ok, now you have the information, you can evaluate the feng shui of your homes or offices. For the home we always go with the main door, master bedroom and kitchen.
Let's say if your main door is located in the east sector where the most auspicious star, then you can do activations on this sector. Maybe you can paint your door red, purple (yuck), or put plants with red ribbons tied to it....
If your main door is located in 2 northwest sector where the sickness star resides. You can hang 6 chinese coins and do the usual cures but the cleverest way is to avoid using that entrance all together if possible for the entire year.
I would be happy to help if you have any questions.
Hope you all have a prosperous 2008!!!
