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
