What are the types of water in Feng Shui? In Feng Shui, different water configurations represent various energies. Feng Shui is a natural force and the cosmic magnetic energy. Wind represents the original energy and field power, while water represents movement and change. Through the Nine Palaces Flying Stars chart, we can see the changes in auspicious and inauspicious directions each year. What should be noted about Feng Shui in 2022? Let's take a look at Huayi Network together.

What are the types of water in Feng Shui?

Broken Water
First, if you live in a curved area, and the water comes from behind the house and flows forward with several bends, it is called "water flowing slowly." Generally, the most auspicious is when the water makes a nine-fold bend. The place where the water turns is naturally higher, which is called the "water gate," and the water gate being blocked is referred to as "closed earth door" and "tight treasure store." The water gate is divided into the "source water gate" and the "exit water gate." The source water gate is called the "Heavenly Gate," while the exit water gate is usually called the "Earth Door." The Heavenly Gate should be open, spacious, and visible so that the coming water can be seen, meaning wealth can be seen. The Earth Door should be closed, and the water should not be visible so that wealth does not disappear. Therefore, water that flows in a winding way is auspicious. According to Feng Shui: "One bend means one dragon resides, two bends mean two dragons rest, three bends make the dragon powerful, and the body will soar high in the clouds."
Reversed Water
No matter whether the incoming water has a right angle or a bent angle, if you live in a curved position, it is called "reversed bow water" or "reversed arch." This means the water is on the outside. Many people refer to the water as "dragon," so living inside the surrounding water is considered the "dragon's back." That is, regardless of where the water comes from, it is a house that leads to financial loss. Looking at the photo above, you can understand it clearly. This reversed water is inauspicious. Although the water seems to flow in a curve, it actually doesn't wrap around but flows straight and diagonally away. According to Feng Shui: "A reversed hook at the source of the White Tiger, wealth secretly slips away like a ghost." When the water is curved, it shows affection; this water obviously lacks curves. Once the water arrives, it immediately flows back, equivalent to wealth flowing away.
Reverse Bow Water
It refers to water or roads that curve outward around a residential or burial site, located exactly at the back of the bow. If such water forms, it indicates that the energy cannot gather. For the residential or burial site, this energy is contradictory. Such water often indicates bad luck, frequent inexplicable financial losses and disasters.

Different water configurations in Feng Shui

Flowing Water Configuration:
Water comes from both sides of the main mountain (the dragon), within the left Green Dragon and right White Tiger, forming a large "八字" (eight) shape, converging in front of the tomb within the Dragon and Tiger Mountain, and the central hall with gentle and smooth water flowing in line with the direction of the building. Or it may be outside the Dragon and Tiger Mountains, converging in the large central hall, and then flowing forward. This is called the flowing water configuration. The most dangerous is when the water comes violently, making noise, and lacks emotional connection, which is extremely inauspicious.
Opposing Water Configuration:
The water comes from the outer part of the three halls toward the mountain or the front of the tomb, forming a "coming water" configuration. The water comes from outside the left Green Dragon and right White Tiger, converges outside the mountain, and the water gate is guarded by beasts or birds, preventing the water from flowing directly. Instead, the water winds back from the large central hall and flows into the Dragon and Tiger Mountains, avoiding a direct hit to the tomb. It flows gently in the central or small central hall in front of the tomb, arriving at the front of the tomb's central hall. If the central hall is higher than the tomb, allowing the water to be seen, and the dry path is higher than the tomb leading toward the tomb, it is called the "coming water" configuration. If the two waters do not converge in the large central hall but instead return to the middle central hall and converge, the water is guarded by the bird or beast and returns to the hall. If the two waters do not converge and flow from the left and right of the mountain and tomb, forming an opposing water configuration that stops the water, it is very auspicious. However, the incoming water must be silent and gently curve with affection, guarding the tomb on either side or behind, winding along the dragon or the Dragon and Tiger peaks, which is called the opposing water configuration.
