When I was doing a feng shui consultation on a residential home for a family with small children, the Chee Ba Flying Stars which we use in Chue Style Feng Shui to analyse the energy within the property, indicated a crash between Wood
⽊, Metal ⾦, and Fire ⽕ elements in the Tai Chi position. This can be translated as an uncomfortable energy that affected the first-born son’s development and his relationship with others. As it was in the centre of the house it meant this negative chi affected the whole household.

The eldest child was a little boy that was very shy and had difficulty expressing what he wanted which caused him a lot of frustration hence, this led to temper tantrums and a stressful time for his parents.

The solution, I gave them was to place a fish tank in the main living room to balance the uncomfortable energy. The use of real water is a very powerful way to balance the feng shui and to bring about positive changes. Fountains, ponds, and fish tanks are associated with money energy in the Feng Shui field, but they can also work wonders
with solving other problems that occur too.

Water has to be placed correctly in feng shui, it must be in the appropriate area facing the correct degrees of the compass and placed at an auspicious time because if it is placed wrongly, it can have a negative effect.

A fish tank with three small goldfish was installed as recommended. Not only did the little boy love watching the fish but his communication and development skills improved noticeably. The tantrums subsided and he started to really enjoy interacting with others. He became a much happier little lad which in turn made life easier for his parents.

This fish tank helped this family solve the conflictive energy in the Tai Chi but in other properties water features can be used to attract prosperity.
