Dear Anon,

I am very glad you brought up this question.

1. I feel that it is quite `dangerous' to talk about Feng Shui issues without looking at the specific situation and layout plan.

2. As we all know, each home has a different layout plan and this is why this may lead to confusion.

3. Lets go back to the fundamentals of one of the FS concepts:

The four symbolic animals concept where the frontage of the house should have clear space and the back `solid backing'.

Frontage of the house
(Clear Space) e.g. activating water star
--------------------



--------------------
Back of the house
(Solid back) e.g. activating mountain star

4. For those who are new and not sure what this means please refer to this URL:

https://www.geomancy.net/fs/four.htm


5. In the illustration, for example, water implies flatness and a water position usually means `clear space'.

6. The tortise in under the above URL at Para 4 represents a solid backing.

7. Here, one can then truly understand that it is most effective to activate a mountain star at the `back' of the house.

For example, at the back door or at a wall at the back of the house.

Thus, depending on one's house layout, a kitchen may be at the back of the house or the dining room with part of the wall at the back of the wall. If this is so, activating a mountain star would be effective.

But, if the kitchen is at the front or next to the main entrance, it is not adviseable to activate the mountain star.

8. I hope all of us get the correct picture that each house layout differs and it is always best to activate a mountain star with the hope that it provides a `soild backing'.

9. Similiarly, if we look at a room in a house, we can follow the above concept and apply the mountain star at a wall usually diagionally opposite the door. (We have to look at each room closely).

In Flying Star theory, we can also call this concept: Sitting (Mountain) and Facing (Frontage).

10. One can also as mentioned under Para 9 and further compartmentalise a room and activate a mountain star (provided it is present) based on the above.

Hope the above helps.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
