Feng Shui Celestial Creatures-White Tiger


White Tiger in the Landscape

The White Tiger is one of two non-mythical celestial animals of Landscape Feng Shui (San He.)  Unlike its counterpart and ‘partner’ in the landscape; the Green Dragon; we are fortunate to have them in our world. They are rare in the wild and mainly found in captivity and they are not a recognised species in their own right.  Instead they are the gold and black Tiger with a recessive genetic trait.  This results in them growing bigger than their coloured relatives.  It could be said that they have a sense of myth and mystery surrounding these magnificent animals.

To balance Yin and Yang in the environment, the White Tiger represents Yin to the Yang of the Dragon.  In an ideal situation they combine to ‘embrace,’ to lay together and protect your property.  The land to the right of your home from the front door looking out is the position of the White Tiger.

To be harmonious the Dragon mountain to the left and the Tiger mountain to the right will ideally be equidistant from your home with the White Tiger side lower than the Green Dragon side.

As a predatory animal the White Tiger will revert to its instinctively aggressive nature if allowed to dominate.  It has to be kept in check if it is going to safeguard your home and detect any threat in the surrounding area.
 
The purpose of the White Tiger side is to defend your property from malevolent Sha Chi; and it has to be controlled by a higher Dragon on the left, to bring out its protective Yin nature. 

It represents courage and creativity.  It also represents the potential for violence within our own human psyche.

When looking at your present home, or searching for a new home identify whether there is a Green Dragon/White Tiger combination.

In our modern urban world this combination can still be translated using Feng Shui principles.  We can interpret the Tiger hill as part of the natural world of plants and bushes; or a wall or building lower than that on the Dragon side.

White Tiger in the Home

The home of the Yin White Tiger is the West, the position where we can observe the magnificence of the setting sun.  It represents TUI, the youngest daughter of the family attracting delight and happiness to your home.  Tui is the lake bringing sustenance, and it is the mouth which is used as our means of communication; of conveying joy to our loved ones.  The trigram TUI consists of one broken Yin line (female) sitting above two solid lines (male) indicating the youngest daughter being supported by her family.  This trigram signifies weakness on the outside and stubbornness on the inside.

The West also represents family, it is the area of Small Metal such as gold coins and precious jewellery.  This is the place to display your family portrait.

The West signifies Autumn, a time when the bountiful fruits of the Earth are harvested; a time when the enhancing element of Earth has completed her work and is preparing to rest.

To the fulfillment of your dreams
