Mythological animal, the dragon occupies an important place in the Asian culture. It is represented under several forms which vary according to its meaning but the dragon remains a very powerful animal in feng shui. It is therefore natural that it appears as a celestial animal in Feng Shui. Discover its meaning and how to use it.
The history of the Feng Shui dragon
Although fantastic, the dragon is the most revered animal in China. According to the Chinese philosopher Wang Fu, it has the features of 9 animals: the head of a camel, the eyes of a demon, the ears of a cow, the antlers of a deer, the legs of a tiger, the talons of an eagle, the scales of a carp, the belly of a mollusk and the long body of a snake. However, it is not uncommon to also find it with wings, horns or even hair or feathers.
The Chinese dragon embodies power and strength. It was the symbol of Chinese emperors before becoming the symbol of Chinese mafia gang leaders. In Feng Shui, it becomes a protector, a symbol of luck and prosperity.
The symbolism of the Feng Shui dragon
It is very rare not to see a dragon in a Chinese house. Whether it is represented as a painting, statuette or jewel, its positive aura is very important in the art of Feng Shui. The Chinese dragon brings harmony and balance to the home. It is part of the Yang family of elements and forms an ideal duo with the phoenix in Yin.
It has a different meaning depending on its color. Indeed, if it is green, it will have healing virtues and will keep the family in good health. If it is golden, it represents a powerful source of energy and brings prosperity. The same goes for yellow Feng Shui dragons, which also guarantee joy.
Some Asian celestial creatures may also be depicted wearing a jewel in their talons. In the case of the Feng Shui dragon, this suggests wealth and opportunity.
In which rooms should a Feng Shui dragon be installed?
Feng Shui dragon statuettes or figurines are often made of jade, brass, bronze, resin or plastic. There are also other representations in the form of objects (lamps, clocks, jewelry, paintings ...).
Given its strong symbolism, the Feng Shui dragon can be placed in any room of the house except the bathroom and toilets. However, be careful not to have more than 5 of them, otherwise you may get the opposite effect of the one you are looking for. Also avoid turning it towards a wall or a corner.
The celestial dragon supports the father of the family if it is installed in the northwest of the home and the mother of the family in the southwest. To the south, it will ensure recognition and to the east, it will ensure the good health of the occupants of the home.
