Reading the Charts All charts are drawn with the front of the building at the bottom of the page. The numbered stars in each chart represent different types of qi.

Well, lets get this out of the way first…There’s an airplane in the South lawn. (to the right of the mansion) Now… we need to figure out when the mansion was built. Then we will have to decide if and when renovations were sufficient to change that date and effectively treat it as if it were [...]
