Dragon - the Ultimate Good
Fortune Feng Shui Symbol
 By Jenny

The mighty and magnificent
Dragon of mythical folklore never ceases to enchant or stir
the imagination. The Dragon is one of the four celestial
animals and is important and powerful symbols in Feng Shui.
The Dragon represents the ultimate 'Yang' symbol, male
vigor, courage and bravery. It is magnanimous and full of
vitality and strength. Affiliated with the cardinal
direction "East" based on Landscape Feng Shui, the Dragon
becomes a very powerful and potent symbol when placed in
this sector, although it can be placed in any other
directions.
In Chinese culture and in Feng Shui, the dragon is the most
auspicious and magnificent, mightiest and most sacred of all
creatures and to be treated with great respect. Through
generations, the dragon has been the ultimate symbol of
power, abundance, good luck and honor. In ancient times, the
Emperors of China regarded themselves as the Dragons and the
symbol of Dragons can only be used by the them and no one
else.
The Dragon is said to create the precious cosmic Chi or
known as the 'Sheng Chi' which brings good fortunes into our
homes and workplaces, making it an all-rounder bringer of
good luck. The Dragons are a powerful cure and enhancer for
business luck, brings foresight and wisdom for the elderly,
brings honor to the family, protects the wearer and paves
the way for more accolades in coming years.
The Dragon frequently appears in carvings or statues holding
a ball, or pearl. This can symbolize success and victory in
wealth attainment and career achievement..
In Chinese Astrology, the Dragon is the fifth sign of the
Chinese Zodiac and its intrinsic element is earth. The
compass direction of the Dragon is 97.5 degrees to 127.5
degrees. Its allies are the Rat and the Monkey and the
Rooster is its secret friend.
In Feng Shui, Dragons can be placed in many areas of the
home or office to guard, protect, bring strength and
fortune, and to activate masculine energy. Here is how you
can use the Dragon to Feng Shui your way to a better life.
1. For people born in the
year of Dragon, place the Dragon on your work or study desk,
in the sector between 97.5 degrees to 127.5 degrees of your
house, or in the Rat or the Monkey sector (allies of Dragon)
to energize your personal good wealth luck.
2. Based on the Pakua's 8 Life Aspirations Method, place the
Dragon in the Northwest sector of your home to favor
patriarch's luck. This will also bring powerful friends,
mentors and advisors into your life.
3. Place the Dragon near your water features like aquarium
or fountains for those craving for good fortune, advancement
in their career or seeking fame and recognition. You will
experience new opportunities and better luck.
4. Place the Dragon in the North sector to enhance your
career luck. It will help you up a few prongs of your career
ladder.
5. It is an excellent idea to activate the dragon by placing
a dragon in the East sector of your home or living room to
bring good health and harmony to the residents of the house.
6. For career luck and those seeking continuous achievement,
place a Dragon figurine on the table, cabinet or in the East
sector of your office or study. Your professional luck will
look rosy.
7. In Flying Star Feng Shui, the Dragon made from metal
(brass, bronze, pewter, cloisonné etc.) can be used to
ward-off the evil influences of the malignant #5 yellow star
and #2 black star. The #2 black star is also known as the
'Sickness Star' which brings illnesses and ailments to
occupants while the #5 yellow star is the 'Disaster Star'
that instigates fights, accidents and death. Placing the
metallic Dragon in the affected sectors will dissolve these
adverse energies.
* Do not place any representation of the dragon inside the
bedroom as the Dragon is the ultimate 'yang' symbol and is
not suitable for a place of rest where 'yin' is preferred.
** Try not to place the Dragon higher than our eye level to
ensure they are under our control.
** Never place the Dragon in the toilet of bathroom.
