A stylish aquarium with cheerful, well-groomed inhabitants is one of the best in terms of aesthetics, psychology and energy of home decorations.
When thinking about how to equip and place an aquarium according to the teachings of Feng Shui, you should not worry - you will be able to perfectly observe your personal tastes, however, knowledge of some rules and recommendations will allow you to extract the maximum benefit from the appearance of the aquarium and not break anything in the sectors of your home.
The best room for an aquarium is a living room, a study, a nursery, a dining room are also suitable, but never a kitchen (the most fiery room) and a bedroom is undesirable.
The choice of the side of the world promises a lot:
- southeast - large income;
- East - good family relationships;
- North - a high position in society (career).
In order for the money not to “leak” and energy not to go in cycles, the aquarium should not stand:
- under overhanging shelves;
- so that it is indicated by furniture corners;
- opposite the windows;
- opposite the entrance door to the apartment (even if the wall divides the straight line);
- between the doors;
- so that those sitting in a room (on armchairs, chairs, a sofa) turn their backs on him;
- in one room with a living fireplace.
The aquarium is set so that its bottom is not lower than the level of the knees of a standing person, but if you want higher, the bottom of the tank should not exceed the level of the heart of a standing person. If several live together - they are guided by the oldest household.
Light sources not directly related to the aquarium system should not be located directly above it, and also so that they are visible through it.
The size of the aquarium should harmoniously correlate with the room - too tiny "squeezes" the energy of Water and does not allow its flows to circulate freely, excessively large - "floods" the surrounding sectors and weakens the "heart of the house".
It is better to refuse the square shape of the fishing kingdom, a rectangle, hexagon or round will do.
And it is noteworthy that the aquarium in the house is capable of charging with Chi energy all attributes of the water element, for example, a picture with a sea landscape or sofa cushions with embroidered koi carps.
The details surrounding the aquarium or its stand can be of any color, except scarlet - because it is the color of fire. The fish life and mood of their owner will be improved by muted colors - green, blue, purple. Metal elements or imitation of natural stone will be in harmony with the water element.
In a Feng Shui house, artificial plants are undesirable (except for their images and their embodiment, for example, in ceramic figures), but they are allowed for the aquarium.
Favorable for the atmosphere of the aquarium will be such details of its design:
- large rounded stones of dark warm shades in a speck, stripes, as well as transparent crystals (artificial ones are also possible);
- plants floating on the surface of the water;
- a combination of ordinary, light and colored sand - a shade from the sector that is favorable for the sector closest to the "reservoir";
- color backlight;
- aeration of water.
For good luck and victories in business, you can decorate it with figures - a frog, a turtle, a chest and even a sunken ship (a rare exception for Feng Shui, which does not welcome what symbolizes disaster). But the ruins of castles and arches are undesirable.
If the family is in a difficult, crisis period between spouses or conflicts do not subside - it is contraindicated to start an aquarium, the contents of which require intensive circulation of water (for example, such are corals). Peaceful water leads to peace.
The classic version is usually called goldfish - for happiness, prosperity, peace in the family. Among them, one must be black - neutralizes the negative.
But experienced practitioners of Feng Shui insist - you can start anyone, this is strictly a matter of taste and nothing else. Species and breeds, colors - you need to listen to your mind and heart.
But perhaps it will be interesting to know what some species symbolize:
- arovana - money and material values, the ability to earn and save;
- scalar - love and marriage;
- gurami - hard work, real friendship;
- macropod - fulfillment of desires, children;
- apistogram - travel, endless possibilities;
- discus - surprise, change;
- neon - self-sufficiency, independence;
- barbus - health;
- guppy - creativity;
- danio - self-knowledge;
- corridor - security, stability.
Any varieties in which golden spots are dark spots or there are red, purple stripes, serves as a living amulet against damage.
Shrimp and snails can be neighbors of fish without interference.
Only fish should be counted - an odd number is desirable, for large species the lucky numbers are 8, 4 and 1.
About how to combine different animals in the same house with an aquarium, Feng Shui experts are of the following opinion:
- the bird cage should not be in the same room with him;
- a terrarium with reptiles can be nearby, the main thing is not to be in line with the aquarium;
- exotic insects like spiders do not combine with fish at all;
- cats and dogs are appropriate, the main thing is not to try to "fish".
The aquarium is one of the most private places in Feng Shui, so it is unacceptable to let guests who come to feed the fish and do not accept them as a gift - only a personal purchase.
For the same reason, breeding fish with breeding goals is considered a negative in Feng Shui, for sale - this too violates the principle of personal ownership of the aquarium and introduces a specific negative (for example, when rejecting individuals with defects).
Naturally, this branch of the underwater world should be properly looked after - clean water, everything is neat, everyone is full and healthy. Because it is not only a fair attitude to wildlife, but also the maintenance of a healthy, positive energy environment.
It is important to note that Feng Shui experts caution against conclusions that the death of fish or the tarnishing of their color indicates that they took such negativity away from home. Most likely, this is a consequence of the disease or improper care.
