01 · Fixed identity
Number, colour name, element, and trigram form the stable identity; Five Yellow has no separate trigram and is shown by its central-palace association.
Feng Shui · Annual Flying Stars
Nine stars, one vocabulary for reading the annual grid
The annual grid shows where 1–9 land in a Feng Shui year. This library explains the names, elements, trigrams, inherited themes, and limits attached to those numbers within traditional Xuan Kong Flying Stars.
Begin with the engine-calculated annual positions, then open a star profile. The meanings describe a traditional system; they do not predict events in a property.1One White2Two Black3Three Jade4Four Green5Five Yellow6Six White7Seven Red8Eight White9Nine Purple

02 · Period context
Timely and retired are school terms within a twenty-year cycle, not empirical evidence of cause and effect.
03 · One annual layer
An annual star is only one layer of a property chart; it cannot replace facing, building period, natal stars, surrounding form, or actual use.
