The Time-Space School of Feng Shui 

Classical, or Time-Space School Feng Shui, also known as Flying Stars, stands on three legs. One is known as "form". This refers to the site of a building. The locations of hills, mountains and water in relationship to a building have strong effects in feng shui. Traditionally, a building should have a mountain behind it for protection, smaller hills on either side, and a pool of water in the front to collect qi, or energy. In a city, tall buildings are mountains and streets are streams. Analyzing the physical features of a building site is the first leg of traditional feng shui. 

The second leg is direction. A wind from the north brings different conditions than a wind from the south. Long observation of nature, seasons, and their effects led to distinct meanings for energies coming from the cardinal directions.  In fact, the 360 degree circle of directions has been broken into 15 degree segments, each having its meaning, in classcal feng shui.

This is not yet enough for a complete analysis, or audit. The third leg, and the one most ignored by many feng shui schools, is time. Nothing is static. Very precise cycles of time have been identified in classical feng shui. The year your home or business was built gave it an energy footprint that affects how the other two legs are evaluated. Time changes in mathematical cycles. These cycles affect your home or business. 

Some schools of feng shui are known as form schools. These schools look only at the physical set of meanings in feng shui. A second type of school looks at form and direction. A simplified version of this discounts direction altogether, assigning direction based on where your front door is. This is the school that gives everyone the same wealth corner, for instance. Classical, or time-space feng shui, takes all three legs into consideration in an analysis. The physical setting of your home, the direction it faces, and time are taken together to give a totally unique picture of how qi, or energy, is affecting you and your family, or you and your co-workers, in your home or business, right now. 

What About You?

Your energy is also included in a classical feng shui analysis. You are a combination of the five elements in your own right. What is good for you may not be so good for someone else. A classical feng shui practitioner will use a determination of your elemental qi to fine-tune your report.
