Dragon in Feng Shui

Dragon is a powerful and auspicious traditional feng shui cure and an excellent feng shui symbol of strong yang / male energy. A pearl, or a crystal, in the feng shui dragon's claw symbolizes wealth, power and an abundance of opportunities. As a popular feng shui cure, dragons come in many sizes and variations of materials and color. A green dragon, for example, is an excellent feng shui cure for the East - health feng shui area - of your home, while a golden dragon can be a great feng shui cure for wealth and abundance. Having a feng shui dragon in any part of your home is auspicious. Do not place the feng shui dragon in lower-energy areas, such as the bathroom, the closets or the garage, and do not have too many dragons in your home. Feng Shui-wise, the maximum recommended number of dragons in the home is 5. Also, do not place the dragon too high, meaning not too high above the eye level. If you want to place the dragon in the love & relationships feng shui area, it is best to pair it up with the feng shui symbol of the phoenix, as dragon & phoenix together are the ultimate feng shui symbol of marital bliss. There are several ways to decide the best feng shui location and positioning of the dragon in your home. You can make your choice based on:

• Your best/lucky directions. Will it look good/harmonious in your home (in relation to all the other elements/items you have) if it will face one of your feng shui best/lucky directions? You can find out your lucky directions by first calculating your Kua number.

• The wealth star for the current year. (Check where the feng shui wealth star is located this year) The location of the feng shui wealth star changes every year, so you will have to change the dragon's facing direction, too.

Ideally, you will place your feng shui dragon:

• close to an open space, or in an open space

• careful not to have the pearl in the dragon's claw facing toward the window or the door.

• facing towards the house (to bring in the energy of wealth) but not feel cramped/restricted by facing a close wall.

Dragons are powerful and magical feng shui creatures, give them a lot of breathing room and treat them with respect.
The celestial Dragon is the ultimate good luck symbol. This wonderful creature features in all the Chinese divinity sciences and is central to the practice of feng shui. Places with excellent feng shui are said to enjoy the dragon's cosmic breath. Thus placing a dragon image in the office is always said to bring great good fortune. The East is the place traditionally associated with the dragon... thus placing the dragon image on the East always represents excellent feng shui.

Several different ways to energize the good fortune breath of the dragon:

• Purchase a dragon image and display it on a table or cabinet on the East side of your office/study. This can be made of ceramic, crystal, or wood. Dragons made of gold, cloisonne or other metals are NOT encouraged since the metal element destroys the wood element. Also, NEVER place the dragon inside the bedroom - it is too YANG a creature.

• Hang a picture of a dragon along the East wall of your office.     

• Simulate the green dragon of the East in your garden by having flowering plants set in a winding flowerbed on the East side of your garden.

• Display ceramic bowls and art objects with the dragon image.

• Use a table with dragons carved on the legs, or a table with a dragon inlaid with mother of pearl. This table can be your desk, but remember, not everyone has sufficient Yang energy to sit at a dragon table.
