The Feng Shui of Big & Small Water

Big water in feng shui refers to natural water, and small water refers to artificially created
water. Both have the potential for good or bad feng shui.

Big water home

Big Water
The presence of water near the home, like a river or lake usually means prosperity and business growth when oriented correctly. This is because the flow of water is believed to mirror the flow of the invisible energy currents (chi) that swirl around the earth. Water should always embrace the home flowing gently, and never appear fast moving in a straight line or threatening. When a river seems to flow directly towards the main door, it is not a good sign. That being said, water must not appear to be flowing away from the home especially from the main door as this is a sure sign of loss.

Small Water

Keep water feature in balance with home

This refers to artificially created water features like a fishpond, swimming pool, manmade waterfalls and fountains. The best location for a waterfall is in the north corner of your garden or the east or southeast as these are compatible sectors in terms of elemental relationships. Be sure to create your water feature in proportion to the size of your home. It can bring auspicious money luck, but if it is too large it can overshadow the home.
