/The best feng shui fish tank placement for wealth luck in 2021 Ox year
It can be very confusing to select the right place for a feng shui fish tank for wealth luck. There are so many theories, and they can be conflicting with each other. We are going to keep it simple and show you the suggested directions based on the 2021 Ox year Flying Star feng shui chart and some ideas related to a fish tank.
A water fountain or a small waterfall can be placed with the same principle. They belong to the water element and usually represents wealth and money accumulation. The movement of a water fountain or fish tank can stimulate energy when placed in the right area.
Another function of the water in Feng Shui can be a cure to reduce the negative energy and slow down the Sha Qi. Depending on the placement location, a feng shui fish tank can be a powerful tool to change the energy of the room.
Fish tank function in Feng Shui
The best location for a fish tank for wealth luck
Based on the Flying Star feng shui chart, the numbers 1, 6, 8, and 9 are the lucky stars. Since we are still in Period 8, the number 8 is one of the most auspicious star. In the year of the Ox 2021, the number 8 White star goes to the West.
Based on the Ba Gua and the five-element theory, the center and the south are not suitable for water element. The center belongs to the earth element and the earth controls the water. The south belongs to the Fire element so there is a water-fire conflict.
Also, avoid a bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom for a feng shui fish tank. A feng shui fish tank is more suitable in a public space, without too much energy of the fire or water.
The best directions for a feng shui fish tank in 2021
To enhance your wealth luck, the west is clearly the best location to set up a fish tank. It is the number 8 star which represents money, success, and prosperity.
The number 1 and 6 are auspicious stars, but they are located in the south and center in 2021.
The number 9 is a festive star in the northeast this year. In the 2021 year of the Ox, it is also the location of Tai Sui.
So the best location is still the west. If it is not practical in your house, you can place a fish tank in the west of your living room or home office.
Fish tank as a feng shui cure to counter the negative energy
Fish tanks can also be used to counter or absorb negative energy. That is the case for the star of 2 (North) and 5 (Southeast).
The 3-Killings (San Sha) are located in the East in 2021 Ox year, so a fish tank here will have a similar function of countering the energy instead of enhancing the money luck.
How many fishes should I keep?
There are many theories about the best number of fishes to keep in an aquarium. Here are some popular ideas.
The odd numbers such as 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 are numbers of the Yang, and the even numbers are the Yin numbers. Yang numbers are generally more auspicious.
According to the Luo Shu number, or the 9 Flying Star numbers, the numbers 1, 6, 8, and 9 are the lucky stars. So those are lucky fish quantities to keep.
There is also the meanings related to the Chinese culture and the sound of the word. Almost any number can have positive associations. So don’t get too hung up on the exact number.
Some people will try to avoid only 1 fish. It seems lonely and will have less movement in the water. A pair is better than one.
What are the lucky fish colors?
In general, bright colors such as red, orange, gold, and silver are auspicious. The black color is good too because we do need to balance the Yin and Yang.
One popular suggestion in the feng shui community is to place 8 red/gold/orange color fishes and 1 black fishes. So you have both Yin and Yang, and the lucky numbers of 1, 8, and 9.
The best size of the fish tank?
A bigger fish tank can contain more water and fishes so it tends to bring a stronger influence. But it really should be proportional to your space, fit your lifestyle, and maintenance ability. If you can not maintain the big tank regularly, it is not a good idea to have a huge tank. In the end, it depends on what fits your space and your life the best.
The balance of the five elements in a fish tank
A fish tank is a reflection of your life. We want to keep it healthy, beautiful, and balanced. It is nice to have all five elements present in a fish tank. The five elements can be in the form of material, color, or shape. Take good care of your fish tank if you want a positive Feng Shui fish tank.
Other locations for a feng shui fish tank
Besides the lucky locations based on the annual Flying Star chart, you can place your fish tank in a wealth corner. There are many ways to find your wealth directions. It can be the Life Kua based on your birthday or the sitting direction of your house.
A general wealth corner is the corner of a living room that is about 45 degrees from the entrance of the living room. See the picture below. That is also a good place for a fish tank to enhance wealth luck.
Another popular place is near the main entrance. Instead of directly facing the main entrance, it is better to have the fish tank on the side. It can still bring lively energy but not directly to your face.
