In the philosophy of feng shui, water is considered the luckiest of the elements. As the river itself flows and gives life, so are good tidings and fortune believed to flow with the presence of the liquid element in one's living space. However, a fast body of water negatively affects the feng shui of those who live nearby, with its chaotic rapidity translating directly into discord and strife in a person's affairs. The perfect solution for one who wants to use feng shui to improve his or her well-being is to place a fish pond in one's home. Properly cared for and built in accordance with feng shui principles, a fish pond can grant good luck and stability to those who live with it.
A pond should be placed in the back left corner of whichever room it is placed. According to the bagua map, a chart of the eight meaningful corners and the center of a typical room, the rear left is the hsun gua, the section connected to material prosperity. Furthermore, one should take care to conceal the fish pond from a window or other opening, as one's fortune can escape the room in this way.
Choosing the right color and number of fish is important in aiding the individual who seeks favor through feng shui. Keeping a total of nine fish, eight gold and one black, is considered the ideal. Black moors and goldfish are well-suited to the purpose of feng shui. The black of the lone moor represents an absorbent ward against negative energy and bad luck, while the goldfish represent the riches with which they share their hue. With eight goldfish, the owner makes use of a number connected with good fortune.
At no time should your pond be allowed to fall into a state of disrepair. The fish will be harmed and eventually killed by an unclean living environment, and the stagnation of the water will translate into a stagnation and corruption of one's route to prosperity. The fish that thrive in the pond allow the water to circulate naturally, encouraging a positive flow of chi for the owner.
Through proper application of feng shui principles, a fish pond can bring a bright future to the homeowner who makes use of it.
