Feng Shui/Setting Up A Geomantic Chart/Mountain Stars

The Mountain Stars refer to the "Sitting Direction" of a house or building. Mountain Stars are filled into the Geomantic Chart in the following order:


 * 1) [Row 2, Column 2]
 * 2) [Row 3, Column 3]
 * 3) [Row 2, Column 3]
 * 4) [Row 3, Column 1]
 * 5) [Row 1, Column 2]
 * 6) [Row 3, Column 2]
 * 7) [Row 1, Column 3]
 * 8) [Row 2, Column 1]
 * 9) [Row 1, Column 1]

Notes: The first Palace to be filled in is [Row 2, Column 2], followed by [Row 3, Column 3], ..., and finally [Row 1, Column 1].

Yang Direction
For movement in the Yang Direction, the numbers will be filled in in increasing order. In other words, if a number is n, then the next number will be n+1, except when n=9. If n=9, then the next number will be 1, followed by 2, 3,... that is:


 * [Row 2, Column 2] = 9
 * [Row 3, Column 3] = 1
 * [Row 2, Column 3] = 2
 * [Row 3, Column 1] = 3
 * [Row 1, Column 2] = 4
 * [Row 3, Column 2] = 5
 * [Row 1, Column 3] = 6
 * [Row 2, Column 1] = 7
 * [Row 1, Column 1] = 8

The following table depicts the above Yang movement in the classical format, where "E" represents the Earth Base:

Yin Direction
For movement in the Yin Direction, the numbers will be filled in in decreasing order. In other words, if a number is n, then the next number will be n-1, except when n=1. If n=1, then the next number will be 9, followed by 8, 7,... that is:


 * [Row 2, Column 2] = 1
 * [Row 3, Column 3] = 9
 * [Row 2, Column 3] = 8
 * [Row 3, Column 1] = 7
 * [Row 1, Column 2] = 6
 * [Row 3, Column 2] = 5
 * [Row 1, Column 3] = 4
 * [Row 2, Column 1] = 3
 * [Row 1, Column 1] = 2
