The Heavenly Gang Eight Trigrams Steps, according to Fourth Great-uncle Master, starts from the Central Palace, steps through the Eight Trigrams positions, and returns to the Central Palace. This counts as one cycle.
To keep walking, one continuously repeats this cycle.
During the preparation of opening the altar, calculations such as positions are pre-determined, all prepared in advance according to the current situation.
After opening the altar, for Taoist practitioners capable of opening it, the steps become instinctive, nearly impossible to do wrong, and require no thought.
The challenge lies in the preparation before opening the altar.
Consider today's date, the position of the Star Lord; combining what is learned with the task at hand beforehand to calculate ten directions, only then, facing the right direction, can the power of opening the altar be maximized.
Thus, nearly all major Dharma altars that can maximize strength are fixed.
