Aquariums and Feng Shui Fish Charms

Fish also chase away misfortune, as it is one of the good marks on the Buddha footprint. The image of a fish is often embroidered on curtains, cushions, bedding and clothing. This amulet has a strong protective energy. In Thailand, children often wear these talismans around their necks (these พระเครื่อง are usually made of gold and precious stones).

Feng shui fish also have a strong reproductive function, thus symbolizing fertility. These aquatic creatures swim happily in the water, and that is why they are a symbol of happiness and harmony as a couple. The most popular species in feng shui are carp (koi), goldfish, and arowana. Charms are available as figures, paintings, scrolls, and pendants.

Goldfish can often be seen in ponds and aquariums as they provide good energy. The goldfish represent a double joy, because the Chinese word "goldfish" consists of two hieroglyphs: "gold" and "happiness". Goldfish symbolizes success in financial affairs and is well suited to the wealth zone.

The carp is a symbol of good luck and military glory. Legend has it that the carp became known for its prowess, when it swam upstream to reach the dragon gate and turned into a dragon. Thus, it became a symbol of perseverance and tenacity. One of the most popular paintings today is the painting "Tents passing through the dragon gates". The hieroglyph "carp" sounds like the word "business" in Chinese, so it will help to achieve success in business. A tent displayed in a pair will bring love.

Arowana is a rare fish that brings financial well-being; it is considered a particularly strong symbol of wealth. It should be pink, silver, or gold. As a symbol of prosperity, you can hang a picture of a golden arowana in the corner of wealth.

Live fish are also a sign of abundance, which is why so many people use feng shui aquariums. A feng shui fish aquarium can not only decorate your home, it can also help you achieve prosperity and wealth. If you decide to start an aquarium, remember several important rules. When buying an aquarium, give preference to round or rectangular shapes. Place the aquarium in the east or southeast part of the living room or office. It is better not to place the aquarium in the bedroom or kitchen.

 

It is better to have an odd number of feng shui fish in the aquarium. The most favorable number is 9, such as 8 gold for prosperity and 1 black for protection. Red is a solar Yan and black is lunar Yin. Together, they symbolize the unity and integrity of the universe.

It is best to avoid buying species with sharp fins. If you decide to buy arowana, be aware that this tropical species is very sensitive to changes in water temperature and other conditions. Also, arowana will not live in the same tank with other species, it will eat them. To attract wealth, you can activate your tank with symbols of wealth, such as a money toad or a ship with coins next to the aquarium. You can also hang Chinese coins on a red ribbon.
