FENG SHUI AND WATER
Anyone who has heard
anything about Feng Shui will be aware that Water plays an important role. Indeed it has a vital part to play in
creating balance and harmony in an environment.
It is this very role that has given rise to a misuse of the element in
many instances.
Feng Shui translates as Wind-Water.
"Qi is dispersed
by the Wind and gathers at the boundaries of Water"
In Classical Feng Shui it
is said that 'Mountains govern People (Health and Wellbeing) and Water governs
Wealth'.
In certain contemporary Feng
Shui methodology this is often taken out of context and Water is suggested in
inappropriate locations in the name of attracting wealth. Does it work anyway? Well, if you have tried it you can answer
that one.
It is fundamental in Classical
Feng Shui practice and vital that it is respected and used appropriately. Water is generally regarded as Yang yet it
does have its Yin and Yang attributes.
Yang Water is constantly flowing and in motion like the rivers and sea;
Yin Water is fog, clouds and mist that are moist and almost ethereal in nature.
Most generic recommendations suggest having a
water feature (anything from an internal table top water fountain to an
external swimming pool) in the North, the location relating to Water. It is also suggested placing Water in the
East and Southeast. These Wood locations
are then 'fed' by the Water. While this
is not incorrect there will be times when the needs of the residents and the
time factor override these generalisations.
When the number 1 White
Star whose home location is the North 'visits' another location recommendations
sometimes suggest placing a Water feature in this area for the duration of the
'visit'. Is this always a good idea?
Let us walk through an
example from 2015 using the Monthly Flying Stars as an example. In August 2015 the number 1 White Star will
'fly' to the West and remain there from August 8-September 7. Would it be a good idea to place a Water
feature here for the month? In 2015 the
West is the most inauspicious location of the year having both the 5 Yellow
Earth Star and the 3 Killings present.
It is therefore recommended that the area be kept quiet and still for
the year to avoid activating these negative combinations. Placing a moving Water feature here would
serve to activate the negative energy and stir up a host of potential hazards
for residents.
Each of the eight primary
and secondary locations are not created equal and Water is not suitable for all
areas. At any one period of time there
are only four out of the eight locations that are generally appropriate for
Water. And to conclude the example of the Monthly Flying Stars above,
Water is not generally recommended in the West at any time during this Period 8
(2004-2023) and the following Period 9 (2024-2043).
