Feng Shui Animal Symbols of Good Luck

Not sure about owl symbolism in feng shui. The dragon is a goos symbol, its "home" is in the east area.

Mugil, in each particular situation a feng shui master can give an individual advice. In feng shui there is heavenly, earth and personal luck. Personal money luck is something you create by yourself and you can influence your heavenly and earthly luck a little. A feng shui master would see your house and give advice about it. Also he or she can build your ba zi chart which is a natal chart based on your date of birth. This may help to improve your general luck and money luck in particular.

hi. feng shui recommends to have an elephant with a trunk lowered or a dragon with a big belly - place them in the living room. wearing carnelian for a woman is great, peach symbolism is helpful. pictures of children in the huose - especially in the west sector. good luck!

Hi Siva!

Pisces is a sign of western astrology. Feng shui deals with eastern astrology, which can be quite different in many ways. As much as I know pisces are known as dreamers, mistics and artists. So any kind of creative work is great for them. The shadow sign of pisces is Virgo though, who is the master of detail. Pisces feel more complete is they give more attention to little things.

Hi. You are right about bad feng shui of the entrance. First let me ask you - no offense meant - why did you choose the house if you knew it was bad feng shui? Now if you have no choice, the best thing to do is to screen the staircase. The black colour of the door on the west is not really so bad, although it's weakening fo rthe metal element of the area. But the main thing is that the black colour is not domeneering here. Keep the door of the toilet closed and decorate it nicely. Any curvy plant-like decor ofr the stair case will correct a little, as well as windchimes.

Everything in feng shui is symbolic. Two cranes are a good sign by itself but facing away means different directions, so it is better to place them facing each other. This way people living in the house will be pursuing the same goals.

Hi Marge! I'm happy for you that you found feng shui useful and helpful. You really describe it well: with feng shui, you go with the flow. It's because feng shui improves your earth luck and human luck, and sometimes even heavenly luck.

Sure, camel is a great good luck animal that helps survive hard times with some profit. Go for it!

I would suggest to deplace your horse from home to the office, but in the south of the office quite descretely!

Hi. Turtle is indeed a great career helper. It is ok to have a new turtle if the old one died. Don't bury it though close to your home, otherwise it will give a sense of cemetry and harmful yin energy bad for life. Light some candles where it used to live also or ring a bell. This will give light and higher vibe to the place.

Hi Prakash. Can you check if the horse is actually facing north or is in the north sector when one of your family members is born the year of the Rat? If so, it is good to change, especially if the statuette is in the north. North is the sector of the Rat, and the Horse is Rat's enemy. If the face of the horse is the first thing you see from the entrance, it may not be as good either. Horse symbols bring very powerful kind of energy, horse rearing is kind of sending chi energy back from your home. It is better to have your horse in a home office or even living room. The home of the Horse is south. But you can place it in the north for career success, only if nobody in your family is Rat.

hi,

from the viewpoint of the western zodiac lion is your lucky animal. However feng shui considers your Chinese zodiac sign. So find it out and have another lucky animal at your disposal!

Hi Joy. I can tell your Chinese zodiac sign by the date of your birth, including year. There is a lot of information online on the subject, and you may easily find it yourself. Elephants are great for feng shui. They protect and bring good luck to your home. If they are wooden it is a good idea to place them in the south, south-east or east of your home.

Hi Prabs, feng shui is an Eastern system of knowledge and it is different from the Western one. Keeping goldfish is beneficial in feng shui, and if you believe in it, twice so. So keep on keeping your godlfish by all means.

Hi again Renuka. Fenh shui has several remedies that you can try to have a child. The basic ones are Kuan Yin, peach and some stones like carnelian and red jasper that you can wear. Kuan Yin is the goddess of mercy and many great things, one of which is childbirth. You can have an amulet-pendant in the form of Kuan Yin from carnelian, for example. Peach can be a figurine that you can buy in a feng shui shop. Place the peach near your bed. Laughing Buddha with children is said to help. Finally, some feng shui masters recommend placing a pregnant (round-bellied) dragon in the east corner. Also, elephants with lowered trunks help get pregnant. Good luck.

Hi Renuka. Wow, that seems like lots of things to me) But your wall unit is all good things. In feng shui a nicely decorated wall is always a plus. There is even a notion of the main wall in the room. This is the wall that is mostly looked at, the most visible and prominent wall of the room. If decorated properly, it brings wealth, luck and happiness to the residents. Your shelves seem beneficial to me. However, you mentioned religious objects (buddha, hindu gods, king). These should take a higher place on the highest shelf. Humans are smaller beings, so place them on the middle shelf. Animals are still smaller beings, so place them on the lowest shelf. Mind that as gods are respected, don't place them lower than eye sight. As for the wall placement, it doesn't really matter where it is if it is nice, pleasant to look at. Just east is the family direction, so by having this wall in the east you will boost family well-being, and if you place it in the north, it will help career.

Hi, in feng shui horse and rat are two signs that collapse. This means that people who are born under the sign of rat are not recommended to have a horse as a symbol in their home. Especially don't place it in the north area of your home as this may be unlucky for you. North is the rat sector, so having a horse symbol here will bring conflict. Likewise I would be careful putting horses in the south, even though it's horses's home. See they would oppose north which is not good either. Try placing them anywhere else. Buddha is good as well as turtle. This symbol may be helpful especially in the north unless you have a bedroom here. If you have a bedroom in the north, place the statue in the north of your living room to boost your career growth. North has a lucky 8 star this year 2015, so be sure to activate it. Rat symbol is good for you to wear as body jewelry, as well.

Unless one of your family members is born on the year of Rat according to the Chinese zodiac, having two horses in your living room seems like a good idea. Horses boost reputation, recognition, fame and social status. It doesn't really matter which direction they face, but it's better if they look inside the room rather than outside for the fame luck will come inside your home. Also it's a good idea if they decorate the major wall of the room. The major wall is the one most open, most looked at in the room.

yes. it's a good idea because south is the corner of the horse. it will enhance the energy of the south sector and bring more fame and recognition to you.

Thank you for sharing your experience, Kristen Howe. By the way, stuffed animals are considered bad feng shui, as dead bodies emanate negative yin energy. Otherwise, any symbols that are not killed animals but just figurines, images, etc. are great feng shui.

amel, yes sure. you can put the charm in the living room on a high standing position, for example.

hi, haroon hussain. both tortoise and elephant are lucky regardless of your zodiac sign.

Hello John,

I can recommend you for making friends and mates place your animal-friend in the corresponding area of your home. You were born the year of a pig, so place a picture or a statuette of a rat in the north of your apartment or house. Rat is your animal-helper when it comes to love, friendship and co-thinkers. In feng shui this is called "peach blossom formula", although it has nothing to do with peaches, lol. The fact is, they compare the beauty of the face of a beloved to a peach blossom. If you want to buy a special ring to protect you and bring good luck to you, using Chinese zodiac I would choose a pig ring, your animal sign. Good luck!

Hi, the best way to find out a bagua is to take a compass and stand outside the front door. Then you can see by the compass arrow where the north is. It is good if you have a plan of your appartment. As soon as you know the directions you can apply a square divided into 9 equal squares, like sudoku square. So you have a 3x3 square. If you don't have a home plan, just do it approximately in your mind. So finally you have 9 parts with the centre in the middle, and compass directions around it. If this is too confusing, go to Youtube and find Rodika Tchi, feng shui master's channel. She has a video exlplaining how to figure out the bagua. Once you find out all the sectors, look for the south and the north on the plan. A little advice I can give about your front door. Since your door faces NE, you could paint it yellow, orange or any earthly color would do a lot of good. NE is earth element, and you can support the front door element with the help of earth and fire colours. Next, the horses colour can be red or green or brown in the south (auspicious for this area), or black, white or blue in the north. Good luck))

Hello, @gknrajan, thank you for the question.

Horses do help promote the career luck. The best place for the horse symbol, if you are familiar with bagua, is south or north of your home or office. Both pictures and statues work well. Be mindful though about the size. It must be proportional to the size of your room or apartment, not too tiny or too huge. There is only one exception: your horse cannot stand in the north if you were born on the year of a Rat. As for the number of symbols, there is no strict rule. Usually one symbol is enough. Yet, you can augment your personal career luck with the help of your lucky number (your date of birth, for example). Another option is to place a fountain in the north. It will help you find a new career path sooner or later. Add to this your inner feng shui – your attention to the new opportunities. Keep your eyes and ears wide open. Why, seriously! Good luck)))

that's a good question, sonu jain. There are two areas where you can place a horse, according to feng shui. As an animal of fame, it can be placed in the south of your bagua. As an animal of career luck, a horse statue or picture can be placed in the north. However, if your Chinese animal sign is Rat, don't place a horse in the north. When it comes to laughing Buddha, place him in the living room facing the door. Hotei will bring you money luck, lightness and take some problems away.

Both one-humped and two-humped camels are good feng shui, as far as I know. Camel as a feng shui symbol personifies wealth luck, indeed. Metaphorically a camel is often compared to a wealth ship that sails through a desert. What a powerful comparison, don't you think? A camel with one hump will protect your finance and make your wealth stable. A camel with two humps helps overcome financial difficulties. That's why many businesses would use a pair of two different camels as beneficial symbols. The best place for a camel is south-east of your home or office, which is a wealth sector. You can place it in the north-west also to support the man in the house.

Hi indrani. Thanks for your question. A turtle is a very beneficial symbol of many good things, especially career. You can place it in the north area of your bagua at home or in your office.

mansi, thanks for the question. as far as I know tortoise can be kept out of water. it is good to keep the symbol on the north of your home.

Hi Heisel, thanks for loving feng shui.

Amalia, there are many ways in which you can enhance your love and career luck, according to Feng Shui. One way is to know your Chinese zodiac sign, which is Wood Dragon, and find charms in accordance with your birth element (wood) and your zodiac animal sign (dragon). You may also use general charms for wealth, like citrine stones, laughing buddha or fountains (which symbolize money flow). Speaking of home feng shui, you need to know where to place them though. If you want to help yourself with body feng shui, wear stones like citrine, crystal stones, images of your own zodiac sign and other friend signs. Lakshmi is a very powerful deity when it comes to wealth. You can place Her in the south-east of your home. Traditionally 3 coins attached to a red string in your purse are a very powerful wealth charm. Love luck can be improved by happy couple images in your bedroom, hieroglyph sign of double happiness, pink quartz mandarine ducks. Wearing beautiful lingerie is another great way for singles to attract love. Having some empty space in your wardrobe is also helpful. Good luck to you in whatever way possible.

Thanks for your question, Deborah. I find gargoyles fascinating. They decorate the walls of so many cathedrals in Europe, including Nottre-Dame de Paris. As far as I know gargoyles don't come from Chinese mythology. Yet, they have bat symbology in them (they have bats' wings) and bats are beneficial, luck bringing animals of feng shui. Also, gargoyles have a guardian aspect to them. In fact, anything meaningful to you in feng shui brings you the energy that you feel about them. There is one feng shui trick. Before you even place a symbol in your home you need to tell your symbol what function they are supposed to do. This way you program them to help you. You may "tell" your gargoyles to protect you, for example, for better home protection))) Have fun.

Alby, Feng Shui is not about the zodiac of the twelve astro signs of the year. kundan gupta, pearl is a beneficial feng shui symbol. yet, your frog needs to be three-legged. otherwise, it's not really a feng shui symbol.

Nina, you may need to invite a Feng Shui specialist as business Feng Shui needs extra attention.

tuktuk, hello and thank you for your comment. Indeed, a horse is a lucky animal of feng shui. But horses make you career and fame lucky rather than happy in a family life. It will be beneficial anyways to have that painting. But if you want good luck in marriage, I'd recommend you a couple of swans in your bedroom.

you are most welcome, sree.

turtle always means good luck. you can have both live turtles and their statuettes or pictures. as far as i know slow turtles are better than quick ones. turtle is also a lucky talisman for the snake year, which is 2013.

thanks for the interesting comment, sree.
