We take a look at the common internal features when evaluating the feng shui of a property with the placement of Water or Interior Water. The idea is to find a place with a good feng shui quotient so that we can improve on it and not fix it.
As a general rule of thumb for any unfavorable internal form, we need to see if it is a treatable situation as not every situation needs curing. Sometimes, passing up on the property may be your best bet as some properties may come with situations that are not treatable.
It is not uncommon to find houses with water features such as a small pond or an aquarium built into the interior of the property. The placement of Water is an important aspect of a feng shui consultation and it is something that should be done accurately to prevent serious problems for the occupants. Water substantially affects the flow of qi in a property and is something that should always be given serious consideration. When done right, Water will encourage positive qi flow throughout the property.
POOLS, PONDS AND WATERFALLS
Avoid a property with a pool cutting into it, meaning to say, the pool is built almost 'into' the house, where a part of it is indoors and the rest, outdoors. The kind of problems the occupants will experience will depend on the sector of the pool's location.
When it comes to properties with a pond or a body of water in the centre, you should steer clear of it as the centre of the house is also its heart and the central palace should always be Yin, where it is stable and quiet. Also, avoid building a pond beneath a staircase especially if it is close to the centre of the property. Avoid from choosing a property with a pool above the Main Door or porch as it is an extremely detrimental formation that will cause a significant loss of wealth. A waterfall, either inside or outside the property, is a negative feature, depending on the sound it generates. However, if the waterfall creates a pleasant sound- gently tinkling or gurgling noise- then it is fine. Even so, you still need to consider if it is located in a suitable sector for Water in the house.
AQUARIUM & TOILETS
Take aquarium into consideration only when a substantially- sized tank (anything more than five feet in length) is involved, as it will invariably assert some feng shui effect. The types and number of fish in the aquarium is not relevant in feng shui, however, finding the right location to collect and stimulate qi, which is the purpose of employing the aquarium solution, is more pertinent.
Toilets do not flush away wealth or emit any negative qi. However, the position of the toilet is a significant one. In feng shui, it is a consideration not to place the location of the actual toilet bowl or bathtub itself, and not the room, squarely above the Main Door. It is advisable to either move the Main Door inwards, outwards or relocate the toilet bowl, whichever is easier. That said, if the ceiling at the Main Door area is high, it is not a problem. The same principle applies if you have a toilet bowl above the kitchen stove or the bed.
One of the important considerations when it comes to Water placement is to consult feng shui expert as you can then rest assured that the flow of qi is done right and to your benefit.
