The door is important because it reveals something about the conditions you experience while living in your home. If you wish to find out what your door presages, you need only to combine your birth star with the compass direction of your door. Remember, the compass direction is the direction you face when you stand in the doorway with your back to the inside of your home, facing out. Use the table of door and birth star combinations below and find your fortune as indicated by the number where the horizontal Door column and the vertical Star column meet.
For example, if your door looks to the east, and your birth star number is 6, you would read paragraph 21 in the fortunes that follow.
Although the prognostications are not engraved in stone, they do have relevant meanings. Read them only in their most positive and constructive sense. If you are cautioned or warned of difficulty for example, remember that you are always given the opportunity to find ways of overcoming possible hardship. And remember what Confucious said “The way out is through the door. Strange how so few people use this method.” You will notice that in this system 5 Star is not listed among the stars in the table. Males born under 5 Star should use 2 Star, females born under 5 Star should use 8 Star.
For example, a male born under 5 Star whose door faces south should read paragraph 34, a female born under 5 Star whose door looks south should read paragraph 39.
To find your birth star gents should subtract the sum of their birth year from 11 and ladies should add 4 in this sum.
For example :- birth star of gents born on 05.06.1940 will be 11-(1+9+4+0)=11-5=6 whereas birthstar of ladies born on this date will be 4+5=9.
