How to use the list
First build your building's chart in the calculator, then look up the meanings of the numbers that fall in the living spaces and the entryway. The tradition considers stars in a storage room or on a balcony less significant.
In each palace you read a pair: the mountain star and the water star. A single number on its own says little — it's the combination that matters.
