Feng Shui Fountain – Two Great Places to Locate in Your Home and Where to Avoid Placing a Fountain

Having a Feng Shui fountain can beautify and enhance your home, yard or garden. Fountains have become popular products with Feng Shui enthusiasts because they embody the Water Element, an ancient symbol of prosperity and one of the Five key Elements in Feng Shui.

The location of your Feng Shui fountain can play a key role in determining the quality of energy and resources that will flow in your life. A fountain feature is water in motion, which traditionally attracts wealth and career success when placed correctly.

The Bagua map is a tool used in Feng Shui that helps people decide where to place certain features, such as indoor water fountains. The Bagua map can be useful in determining the appropriate and common sense placements for your fountain that will give the greatest benefits, and one location you definitely won’t want to put a fountain!

One of the most ideal locations for an indoor fountain is in the Career life region. You’ll know where to find this region by the location of your front door. If you face your home, would you say your front door is to the left, center or more on the right side?

If your front door is more or less in the center, when you enter your home you are entering the Career life region. In western Feng Shui schools of thought you can only have a front door opening on the lower portion of the map – on the left into the Inner Knowledge and Self-Improvement section, into the center where the Career region is located or on the right where you find the Travel and Helpful People region.

Because the Water Element finds its home in the Career region, it is only natural that a water feature such as a fountain would be a welcome addition. Much of Feng Shui is common sense!

Water moving in a fountain is a natural attractor of wealth and opportunities. The moving water invites these ideals to “flow” into your home in greater abundance!

The second region where you’ll want to consider placing an indoor fountain is in the Prosperity and Abundance region…also known as the Wealth region.

The principle of money flowing and circulating toward you is the quality of energy you want to have for this special area of your home. Consider locating a home office in this portion of your home, if possible…and of course, plan for a fountain!

OK…now that you’ve taken a peek at the Bagua map, can you guess where a fountain might be unwelcome? Think opposites – what is the opposite of water? Of course, fire! Once again common sense will dictate that a poor location and one to be avoided at all costs is the Fame, Illumination and Reputation life region.

Too much Water element in your Reputation region will drown the life goals associated with this part of your life, so it is best to look at Fire enhancements and colors for this area and steer clear of Water Feng Shui cures!

I’ll be writing an article on the wonderful benefits having an outdoor Feng Shui fountain can provide in the days or weeks to come. Please check back!
