Tips
Fengshui
and Dog
3 December 2006
To some people
it seems that their dogs are more prone to
illness than that of others. If you have
tried everything and fail to address the
problem, then you may like to take a look at
your home from the feng shui point of view.
Below are some
suggestions from feng shui masters, which you
may find useful or entertaining.
In
Chinese zodiac system, Dog is related to Wu (戌), the eleventh of the twelve
Earthly Branches that along with ten Heavenly
Terms mark the time and space. A primary
earth sign, Wu also contains the trait of
Fire, and is associated with northwest
direction in space and lunar November as well
as 9 to 11 pm in time.
Zodiacs in the Eight
Trigrams Chart
The branches
that are compatible with Wu the Dog include
Yin the Tiger (寅), Wu the Horse (午) and Mao the Rabbit (卯).
Dog and Rabbit
make a strong pair though not without
friction between them. With Tiger and Horse,
Dog form a Fire triangle, in which Tiger with
yang Wood traits acts as the source and
starting point, Horse with yang Fire traits
represents achievement and the peak of the
development, while Dog with yang Earth traits
concludes the circle and preserves the seed
of Fire for the next run.
In the Eight
Trigrams chart, Rabbit sits in the due east,
Horse stands in the due south, tiger crutches
at northeast and Dog poises at the northwest.
If the front door of your home opens to these
four directions, you shall have a better
chance to keep your dogs healthy and happy.
On the other
hand, it is believed that if the main
entrance of your dwelling faces to southeast
or due north, then a little extra care
may be needed in order to reduce the risk to
the safety and well being of the pets. That
is because southeast is under the rule of
Dragon and due north is the territory of Ox,
both of which do not get along with Dog.
However, if you can’t change the door, you
may then locate the dog house or puppy pan in
the favourable directions mentioned above,
and that will still help to improve the
situation.
When come to
build or purchase a dog pan, the rule of
thumb is to avoid the ones made of metal. As
Metal sucks Earth qi, your puppies (Earth
animal) may have a hard time to keep healthy
and grow strong.

gonna be a mad dog for sure.

Feng
Shui Dog
Though dog is
not considered as a lucky symbol from feng
shui’s point of view, a proper use of a
feng shui charm in the image of a dog
sometimes still can work wonders for
offseting some unwanted conditions.
When using it
to help improving personal relationships, the
most effective location will be northeast,
the Dog’s corner in the Eight Trigrams
chart. If it is for warding off intrusive
energy of theft or robbery, the dog shall be
placed by and face the door. Further more,
its feng shui power can be strengthened when
a Dog charm is made of earth-based material.
But if you keep more than one dog charm at
home, the positive feng shui effects they
produced may cancle each other out. And
importantly, you must never let a pair of dog
charms guard the door, which, according to
feng shui masters, might cause accident.
A note of
caution: people who were born in a dragon
year may better not to choose dog as their
feng shui cure, or it could well be turned
into a curse.
