Talismans of wealth related to the element of Water

In this article we will talk about Feng Shui wealth talismans, whose element is Water. We already know that the wealth zone is the southeast. It is in this sector of the house, apartment, room or desktop that you can place talismans that will bring monetary luck.

Of course, the most important symbol of prosperity and wealth according to Feng Shui is Water. The best way to attract money luck is to “add water” to your space. Even in the southeastern sector, the main element is the Tree, which also feeds on water.

Aquarium

The aquarium is as powerful as a fountain. It is important that the aquarium is of the correct shape according to Feng Shui. It can be round, square, rectangular, oval, cylindrical.

It is not necessary to buy a large aquarium, the main thing is that it looks harmonious in the room and matches the number and size of fish in it. They just need to be spacious, but nothing more. In Feng Shui, a number of fish that is a multiple of 9 is considered favorable (for example, nine, eighteen, twenty-seven, etc.).

Color of fish and their shape for the aquarium

As for color, it’s good to add 8 golden fish and 1 black, or just dark, into your aquarium. It will symbolically absorb negative energy. If she suddenly wants to come to you. The Chinese believe that if a fish (or several fish) suddenly dies in an aquarium, it takes with it misfortunes that could befall your family. No need to worry too much about this, just go and buy the missing amount of fish.

It is not recommended to purchase spiny fish; they bring nothing but loss of income.

And, of course, does it mean that the aquarium needs to be looked after. The water in it should be clean, oxygenated and in motion.

You can use backlighting if you are a businessman; this will help increase your company’s turnover and, accordingly, promise an increase in profits.

Since the aquarium is a money talisman, its place is in the southeast. If it is not possible to install here, the northern or eastern sector of the room will also do.

Location of the aquarium in the house

A good location is when the aquarium is in the corner of the room or near the aisle, away from the door, and not behind it (in this case, the effect of this talisman is weakened).

Unfavorable location - between two doors, under a ceiling beam, opposite the front door, opposite the kitchen, next to the toilet or bathroom, as well as in the bedroom. In these cases, you will not attract monetary luck, but rather repel it.

Married couples should not place the aquarium to the right of the front door, since along with monetary luck, luck in acquiring a mistress may come to the husband.

The same rules should be followed when installing a fountain. If you cannot find a suitable place in your house or apartment to place a fountain or aquarium, use other money talismans.

The effect of water on living beings

Everything living and nonliving includes the five elements of Feng Shui, their combinations and mechanisms. These elements constantly interact with each other, creating new structures, situations, illnesses, problems, happy coincidences, a favorable atmosphere and a good environment. Water has a fairly strong influence on the physical world and on that part of the universe that people’s senses cannot perceive.

As mentioned earlier in this article, the five elements of Feng Shui can have a beneficial effect on the energy of a living organism. For example, eliminating diseases. Water can save a person or animal from diseases: 1. Fire: blood diseases, hemorrhoids, tumors, inflammation, cancer. 2. Earth: problems with the stomach and pancreas, bones, tendons and skin. 3. Metal: problems with the intestines, severe pain.

It is impossible for the water element to cure diseases caused by water and wood.

Water

If you have a private house and not an apartment, you can make a pond according to Feng Shui near the house on the street, or install an outdoor fountain. It should be located to the left of the front door (if you are facing the street). It is very good when in such a body of water the water moves and does not stand still. Buy a water pump and a filter, then the water here will always be clean and not stagnant. Dirty water is a source of negative energy.

The “lucky” radius of a reservoir is 104-110.5 cm or 124.5-132 cm. In China, it is believed that such dimensions foreshadow “receiving a jade belt and a room full of money.” There is no need to construct a reservoir whose dimensions exceed the maximum dimensions given above.

According to Feng Shui, fish in a pond additionally attracts wealth. Don't want some fish? Just decorate your pond with water lilies.

How does the element of water interact with other elements?

The five elements of Feng Shui interact with each other, including according to the principle of generation. This is when one element creates another. Water comes from metal. To strengthen the water element, metal energy should be concentrated. The simple laws of Feng Shui should be learned in order to be able to manipulate all five elements.

Feng Shui rules indicate that the five elements can drain each other. This is when one element weakens another. In this case, the metal always weakens if water appears. This principle can be seen in the physical world, with the example of ice falling into a liquid. Due to the impact of the latter, it begins to melt quickly. There is more liquid, and the ice completely disappears. Similar behavior of the elements is observed if we consider all five types of energies.

According to Feng Shui theory, the five elements interact with each other, destroying each other. In this case, water can completely drown the fire. And the water element is usually stopped by the earth. In other words, the energy of the earth can destroy water. Both the first and second principles of interaction are observed in the physical world. To create a reservoir, a dam will be built. And the fire of the fire is filled with water.

Determining your element

To find out your element, look at the last digit of your birth year (if your birthday is after February 20), or at the previous year's number if your birthday is from January 1 to February 20. For people born in February, it is worth more accurately determining the onset of the Chinese New Year, because... it rarely falls on the same date. Here is a table by which you can determine your type. Keep in mind that an even year is a Yang-type person, an odd year is a Yin-type person. Yang type is an extrovert, prefers to live in a darkened, cool house, Yin type is an introvert, he likes spacious, bright, warm houses. Why these particular preferences? Because to achieve harmony, Yang, as the light side, strives for darkness, Yin, as the dark side, in turn strives for light. Now let’s see what his element means in the life of every person.

Feng Shui paintings with water

The Feng Shui waterfall (pictures are presented in the article) is, as mentioned above, a source of vitality and constant changes for the better. If you notice that there is stagnation in your life, things stubbornly do not move forward, and you yourself seem to be endlessly marking time in one place, then the element of water will help you give a tangible impetus.

Place a painting or photograph of a waterfall in your home, and you will be surprised to find that positive changes will not be long in coming. In particular, Feng Shui advises those people who live in densely populated cities, remote from wildlife, to resort to this trick. And for residents of apartments in high-rise buildings, this technique will regularly relieve the stress that accumulates during the day and eliminate the feeling of immobility of life and stagnation (this is very important in apartment buildings, where the flow of Qi energy is initially disrupted).

In addition, water is also a symbol of abundance, wealth and good luck. It attracts material well-being, a favorable outcome of any financial transactions, prosperity and luxury into the home. A picture of a waterfall has no less power than a real decorative waterfall if it is placed in the right place, from the point of view of Feng Shui philosophy.

Such different elements

Also, each year in the twelve-year cycle corresponds to a certain element. The 60-year large cycle consists of five such cycles. Each year is associated with a specific animal that has its own element:

Bull - Earth;
Snake - Fire;
Horse Fire;
Rat – Water;
Dragon - Earth;
Goat - Earth;
Monkey – Metal;
Pig – Water;
Dog – Earth;
Tiger - Tree;
Rabbit - Tree;
Rooster – Metal.

His life depends on what elements a person possesses. But each element acts differently depending on gender.

Destructive Flow Cycle:

Fire interacting with Metal melts it ⇒
Metal, in turn, cuts Wood ⇒
Wood has the ability to lift the Earth ⇒
The Earth subsequently pollutes the Water ⇒
Water can extinguish Fire.

In order to understand the meaning of each of these five elements, it is necessary to pay attention to the study of each of them separately.

Fire:

Element Fire
Fire is filled with Yang energy; it contains the most of it. People have always had special respect and fear for the element Fire, as a natural element. “Fire Creators” existed even before the advent of Feng Shui. People have always treated them with caution and were afraid of them, because they believed that if the “creators of fire” were overcome by anger, they could burn the forest. On the contrary, in a positive mood, the Fire that obeyed them helped prepare food. The energy of this element carries such properties as power, assertiveness, and the desire to dominate. The lack of this energy, according to the teachings of Feng Shui, can be regulated by red color and candle fire. In the interior, this can be changed with an additional lamp with a red shade or by organizing lighting in red shades. Places where fire energy accumulates can be: a fireplace, a pyramid, a needle, images of sunrise and sunset; all objects made from feathers, wool, leather. In a person, the energy of Fire dominates in childhood, since this is the most active and most mobile period of life. Birds and animals are also carriers of this energy. The excessive predominance of Fire in a person has a negative impact on his life. At first, this can manifest itself in increased confidence, make a person love himself more, but later make him nervous due to the constant desire to do everything, to solve all the problems. Ultimately, this can lead to a loss of control over the situation.
A man constantly needs adventure, the excitement of surprises and loves to take risks. A fairly demanding leader, he loves active actions, infects those around him with energy, as well as enthusiasm, and carries them along with him. They do not obey rules, do not tolerate restrictions, are inventive and have a great sense of humor. Needs constant intimate connections. She loves to play in relationships, which is something all women should take into account. However, he does not like obligations. He prefers not to solve problems, but to run away from them. This is a man of action, for whom the result is not as important as constant movement forward.
A woman repeats some of the features of men and brings to them a special note characteristic of the female sex. Shows activity, swiftness, inexhaustible energy, and can be impulsive. Men call such a woman fatal. She drives you crazy easily. But if he finds one and only love, he is faithful until the grave. Masculine manifestation in character is expressed in prudence, the desire to win in everything.

Element characteristics: represents summer, heat, fire. Gives light, happiness and warmth, but has destructive power, associated with explosions and fires. In a positive sense, this is sincerity and honesty; in a negative sense, it is aggression, war. Associations: candles, sun, lamps, lamps, triangle, red color, image of fire and sun, artificial materials.

Water:

Element Water
The ancient Chinese endowed the element of water with special mystical powers. Before mirrors appeared, only on the flat surface of water could a person see his reflection. As you know, life on our planet originated in the vastness of the world’s oceans. The element of water has always been attributed magical properties; its energy carries something mysterious and enigmatic. The colors corresponding to the element of water are black and dark blue. She is a symbol of very important spiritual processes such as meditation and contemplation. Filling your home with the energy of water and its symbols, a person becomes more peaceful, flexible, more sensual, begins to better understand the surrounding processes, and discovers creative possibilities in himself. To do this, he can use the following items in his home: glass containers with fresh water, items made of transparent materials (a bowl with glass stones), things in dark blue and black colors. Excess water makes people overly emotional, overly sensitive and indecisive.
Men - they tend to desire feminine and beautiful representatives of the fair sex. Such womanizers are fickle and cunning. They have the gift of diplomacy and persuasion. They are able to listen carefully and are able to negotiate well. They perceive the world holistically in all its completeness and diversity. They are open to the feelings of other people, they may seem bright and charming, but they are unlikely to let you into the depths of their soul. They show flexibility in life, which greatly contributes to achieving their goals.
The woman has a capricious character, as well as cunning in her eyes. Easily charms and drives you crazy. She finds it difficult to convince others of her own fidelity. He has an amazing imagination and has a great sense of the world and people around him. Her unique communication abilities sometimes lead her to adventurous situations. However, she strives for consistency with all her lightness and airiness. Avoids conflicts.

In a positive sense - compassionate support, nutrition in a broad sense, in a negative sense - fear, stress, anxiety. Associations: streams, rivers, blue and black colors, glass and mirrors, pools, fountains, aquariums, images of water.

Earth:

Element Earth
The earth for a person is the place of his life. There are even such expressions about this: “to stand firmly on the ground”, “to have solid ground under your feet.” Man is inseparable from “Mother Earth”, since he was born here, his ancestors lived here, and his descendants will live here. According to Feng Shui, the earth element carries such energy that can make the relationship between a person and the world around him more balanced. In your interior or garden plot, this element can be represented by objects made of stones or clay (beautiful statues, boulders). Terracotta airtight containers filled with earth can also compensate for the lack of earth energy or increase its impact on your life. The greater its influence, the more stable your life will be, and the more confident you will be. This energy can also be present in objects made of porcelain, crystal, visual representations of the earth (globe, images). The excess of Earth makes people one-sidedly developed, they do not strive to change anything, they become too stubborn and narrow-minded. Then it is no longer possible to talk about the positive impact of this energy; well-being may disappear from a person’s life.
A man is a calm, balanced person who does not do hasty or adventurous things. He prefers thoroughness and thoughtfulness. A simple example is that he will not chase a rabbit while hunting, but will smoke it out of a cozy hole. Prefers to enjoy life. You can rely on them, they are faithful, not prone to rashness, have enormous inner strength, and are stable in a critical situation. The uniqueness of the character is that even in the worst situation he will insist that everything is fine, will not give up and will see everything through to the end. As a person has adapted to the elements of the earth, so he will live.
A woman has high sensuality and a natural desire for harmony with the world around her. She is distinguished by femininity, charm, a sense of individuality, style, and image. However, he has a developed sense of possessiveness. Once she decides that it’s mine, she won’t be convinced. It is difficult for her to give her partner freedom in terms of relationships, hence a strong feeling of jealousy arises. Women of this element are not prone to risk, but can take it.

Characteristics of the element: it provides a nutrient medium from which seeds grow, all living things arise, are nurtured and everything returns to it. Supports other elements, gives them nutrition. In a positive sense - wisdom, sincerity, intuition, in a negative sense - empty worries, tense anticipation, nervousness. Associations: brick, clay, terracotta, cement, stone, yellow square, orange and brown colors.

Metal:

Element Metal
The metal is responsible for stimulating mental activity and increases mental activity. In everyday life, a person is surrounded by a huge number of metal objects, and he has long ceased to perceive their significance and value. But it is comparable only to the meaning of fire for our ancestors. There are a very large number of its forms on our planet: silver, gold, iron, platinum and many, many others. Therefore, it is absolutely not difficult to enhance the impact of its energy - watches, figurines, pieces of furniture, forged items in the garden, interior design using metal surfaces. An excess of this energy will also not lead to anything good. There is a rule: by increasing the number of things of a certain symbolism, you reduce the amount of positive energy that they can attract into your life.
A man is capable of sacredly believing in his own rightness and convincing others of this. He is not just impudent, but confident in his own infallibility and uniqueness. He is distinguished by his ambition, which sometimes manifests itself in the form of ruthlessness. They often succeed in their life path. However, he is deprived of the ability to enjoy what he has achieved. This distinguishes it from other elements.
A woman - they say about such a woman that she is a “magnetic person.” It can charm and frighten because it shows feelings very strongly. He knows how to compete fiercely, but expresses anger sparingly because he does not know how to do it. Capable of conquering peak after peak, and not only in terms of relationships. She manages to do this in almost any business. The need to achieve perfection in everything is one of the main features of a woman of the Metal element.

Characteristics of the element: Represents strength and autumn, hardness, the ability to serve as a container for objects, conducts electricity. In a positive sense - communication, interesting ideas, justice, in a negative sense - danger, destruction, sadness. The metal is used in the manufacture of jewelry and weapons. Associated with: all metals, round shapes, metal objects, kitchen utensils, gray and white colors, watches, coins.

Tree:

Element Wood

The tree is the embodiment of the symbol of the emergence of new life. The process of nature's awakening after winter represents a creative cycle that begins precisely with the element Wood. The very process of the birth and development of a tree is very unique: a small seed, blown by the wind to a corner of the earth, grows into a huge strong plant with strong roots and a fluffy crown. Even asphalt cannot be an obstacle to the strength of the desire to be born. That is why the Tree is the embodiment of everything that is certainly trying to achieve its goal. Just as its roots, growing, break stones, everything that the Tree represents will slowly, with special care, come to the desired result. The tree also serves as a symbol of deep knowledge and intuition. A person in whom this energy predominates is endowed with special power, but it is influenced by intuition. In human life, the best embodiment of the Tree symbol is plants. For example, bamboo sticks attract good luck and positive energy. If you want to fill your home with Wood energy, you need to surround yourself with everything that is green.

Men are very emotional. They strive to achieve universal love. In the world around them they are capable of social altruism, but only if the people they help share their views. They prefer to manage relationships rather than be managed. If something goes wrong, they quickly lose interest in the situation and try to run away. Friendship and common ideals in relationships, friendly, social or love, are very important.
A woman - in general, we can say that there are three main characteristics: honesty, beauty and truthfulness. She knows how to be attractive and resourceful, has an independent spirit and a desire for freedom. Intimate relationships come easily to her, but she tries to remain silent about her needs and can only open up to those closest to her. Not an owner and does not like to be someone's property.

In a positive sense it is used as a staff, in a negative sense it is used as a spear. It has the qualities of growth, fruiting, versatility. Associated with: plants, wooden furniture, paper, green color, columns, room decoration, painting. At the end of the article you will find a summary table of the characteristics of each element. But not only character traits depend on the element to which belongs to the person. Each person in his life has his own colors associated with certain elements.
