Feng Shui: The Effects of Water

The Flying Star School of Feng Shui analyses the energy within and outside the property with the help of a compass or lo pan.

I know clients who are obsessed with living by the beach or near a water body. The common misconception is that if you live next to water, you prosper and your wealth doubles! While I would like to believe this theory, it is simply not true.
The Flying Star School of Feng Shui analyses the energy within and outside the property with the help of a compass or lo pan. The directions and year of construction of the property give us more information on the kind of energy present in and around the property. Feng Shui looks at two types of energies within a property. One is water/moving energy or water star. The other is static energy or mountain star.
The basic principle of the Flying Star School of Feng Shui is that the water energy or water star needs to be activated with the help of either water, sound, lights or any kind of movement. This is the area in which you can display a water body or an aquarium. To strengthen this energy further, it is ideal to have an external water body such as ocean or a pond in that area. By activating this energy within your home and supporting element outside your home, it will help in strengthening the water star, which in turn brings in abundance and opportunities.
On the other hand, a mountain star or static energy within the property needs to be a quiet room or storeroom. There should be no water bodies, or moving objects in this area. This area is responsible for stability and relationships. Therefore all activities need to seize and it is advisable to sleep in this area. However outside your home in the mountain star location if you have a water body, it affects your relationship. Ideally there should be a tall tree or another building. But sometimes that's not the case and this external feature will affect the peace and quiet in the house. Therefore it is advisable to assess the water and mountain star within a property and then rent or buy your home. Having water all around might not be a great idea after all.
