here's my idea even though it's ask of Marie directly. I would say that 20 year is long term but 1 year is more immediate so focus on that is very important, especially for business. anytime there is a double negative, don't you think it kinda multiply? As for cures, its' base on the 5 elements. since conflict star is wood then base on the 5 element theory, fire would weaken it. bright lights would be good. disaster star is earth, so to weaken it would be metal. I guess if you have 2 negative stars in an area, you have to look at the monthly and yearly star too as well as the mountain and water star. it's how they interact with each other. Marie kinda analyze the stars for us in her stars chart for the period 7 and period 8 base on her style of feng shui. you would have to go do your research on flying star to know how the stars are created and how they interact with each other to go further in depth of understanding the stars. I'm not the type to just want answers handed to me so I am studying flying star to understand reasoning and principles behind feng shui so that I can create stars on the fly whenever I have to. If follows the principle of someone fishing for you vs. learning to fish. i rather learn to fish.
There will always be conflict, you can't have perfect feng shui. focus on what you want. you can always use feng shui for each room as well as the whole home. big tai chi vs. small tai chi.
