Feng Shui to Attract Success with Aquarium (Fish) and Water Element
In feng shui, fish and the water element both stand for success, wealth, and plenty, together, water and fish are potent metaphors.
Fish tanks with real fish, a koi pond in the yard, or even wall hangings
depicting fish swimming in water are all great ways to incorporate the feng
shui symbolism of fish and the water element into your home. It is believed
that keeping fish in an aquarium can help promote peaceful energy in the home,
according to the principles of feng shui. Like the water and fish in an
aquarium, smoothness is linked to convenience.
In order to bring more money into your life, set up the aquarium in the
Xun (Wealth) sector of your home. Placing fish by your front door is another
way to attract money from the outer world. Waterfall aquarium features should
direct water flow into the heart of the house (rather than out the door).
To attract prosperity into your home and life, try using some of these
tried-and-true feng shui techniques involving fish and water.
The Symbolism of Goldfish and Carp
Goldfish have long been a staple of feng shui aquariums. There are a
number of good omens associated with them. For starters, their gold hue is
synonymous with financial success and abundance. Second, goldfish belong to the
family of carp, which is considered particularly fortunate in many Asian
cultures.
According to legend, there once lived in ancient China a powerful,
resilient, and magical carp. This carp swam against the Yellow River's current
and up the Dragon's Gate waterfall. This carp turned into a fantastic dragon
after it crossed the Dragon's Gate. Because of this, carp (and goldfish) serve
as symbols that we, too, are capable of achieving great things while facing
formidable challenges. One's own resources and potential for growth are always
available. As individuals, we also have the ability to change.
Basics of Feng Shui Fish
Aquarium
It is of the highest significance to keep the aquarium clean and the
fish healthy if you choose to bring this energy into your home with an
aquarium. It's equally important to pick a tank that's a good fit for your home
and your fish population.
Seek out knowledge on the best ways to keep the aquarium healthy for the
inhabitants. It is impossible to attract prosperity and plenty to an aquarium
that is unclean, unhealthy, and neglected.
How many fish has to be in the Aquarium?
Nine is the most perfect and fortunate number in feng shui. Thus, nine
or multiples thereof should be tried if at all possible. It is also possible to
use five also (representing the five elements) or even just one if this number
seems excessive. We might expect more vitality and growth when we surround
ourselves with odd numbers. Do not get a larger tank or more fish if you do not
have the time or space to care for them properly.
What Sort of Fish Is It?
Though goldfish are a safe bet, feel free to use any fish species you
enjoy. Just make sure you look into what is reasonable for the kind of care you
can provide. Limit yourself to only one variety of fish if at all possible.
Naturally, you'll want to provide the best possible conditions for your fish. A
positive vibe can be felt in an aquarium with happy, healthy fish.
What has to be Done if a
Fish Dies?
When adjusting your aquarium's feng shui, it's important to show respect
for the energy the fish provided by performing a ritual over its remains. If
that's the case, it's imperative that you replace it as soon as possible.
