In the Asian tradition, animals hold a special place. It is therefore quite natural that some of them enter the art of Feng Shui. Represented as statuettes, they have spiritual and beneficial virtues in your rooms. In traditional feng shui, animals are called celestial animals and there are 5 of them.
Feng Shui celestial animals generate Chi
Animals, an integral part of nature, are not forgotten in the ancestral medicine of housing. Some of them are even considered as excellent generators of Chi. To circulate positive waves and promote a relaxed and zen atmosphere, Feng Shui animals each have a specific place.
In the Chinese precepts, 4 celestial Feng Shui animals are associated with the 4 cardinal points: the turtle for the north, the phoenix for the south, the dragon for the east and the tiger for the west. There is a fifth one which is the snake and which represents the center of the house.
What is the symbolism of the Feng Shui animals
In Feng Shui, animals have a very particular symbolism. Each one has a precise role and place to activate the positive flows of Yin and Yang in your home. But where to place the mythical Feng Shui animals in your apartment or house?
The black turtle has a protective role. It is placed at the back of your home. It can take the form of a mound of earth, a mountain, a tree or any other high and protective element. The Feng Shui turtle also symbolizes health.
The red phoenix is an opening to the world. It should be placed at the front of the house, as an invitation to freedom. It can be represented by a stream, a garden, a road, etc., as long as it is positioned in front of an open area.
The green dragon, located to the left of your house, represents the masculine side and finances. It brings goodwill and luck. It can take the form of a flower bed, shrubs, bamboo or even another building if you live in an apartment. It is an essential element to ensure the stability and strength of the tiger placed at its opposite. The Feng Shui Dragon must be higher than the tiger.
Finally, the white tiger, located on the right side of the house acts in symbiosis with the dragon, because it is the feminine side. Beware, a swimming pool is not a good representation of the Feng Shui tiger. A flower bed, a lower building, a vacant lot or a fence is better.
The yellow snake, the last Feng Shui animal, is in the center and represents your living space. Just like the home that protects you and that you care for in return, it asks to be cherished to bring you comfort. The yellow Feng Shui snake can be placed above the front door to prevent bad vibes from entering. There are many more animals that can be linked to Feng Shui to ensure luck, success, health, professional and personal relationships.
Which Feng Shui animals for my apartment or my house?
Because animals also have a benevolent connotation, Chinese arts represent them in all their forms. It is therefore not uncommon to find Feng Shui animal figurines to spread good vibes at home, like good luck charms.
Some Feng Shui statuettes are directly linked to Chinese astrological signs, like the horse or the snake. Others have positive virtues and bring good luck, like the cat, the toad, the dolphin, the elephant, the fish, the bird or even the swan.
We offer many Feng Shui animal statuettes for your home. They generate serenity and benevolence in your rooms. Moreover, being made of various noble materials, you can use them as Chi magnets. They help to spread positive waves in your living space. Each of the Feng Shui animal statuettes must be placed in a strategic place in your home to be effective. The Feng Shui turtle will find its best place with its back to doors, corridors and windows to protect from aggressions. The white tiger is best placed to the right of a yellow snake in a closet or even in your garden. It is also perfect near the sofa to create harmony.
On the other hand, the Phoenix can be placed in sight, on the facades of your house. It captures the outside energy to bring it back inside. Finally, the green dragon should be placed in the entrance of the house or on a table to increase intuition and spread positivity and zenitude.
