Water – Feng Shui’s Element of Transformation and Overcoming Obstacles

One of the most difficult challenges in life is when you need something new to happen to get out of a rut, and what you need is a transformation. You may want to create a whole new life, maybe start over after divorce, illness, or job loss — or a pandemic. Maybe you want to create a new look for yourself because you’re tired of what you see in the mirror. It could be your weight, your hair color, or simply where you live that makes you unhappy.

Maybe you just feel the need for change of any kind to help you out of the awful state of feeling stuck.

Water is the element you need to help assist you with creating a transformation.

Water is powerful for change.

Water is what we’re nourished in and born out of as babies in our mothers’ wombs.

Water has the power to conquer all and can overcome any obstacle.

In feng shui, water is like a mirror of chi, only it is seen whereas chi is unseen. When what we want is a change in our lives, it is water that has the power to wipe our slate clean and deliver us to a new reality.

Just look at how a single drop of water has the power to cast a ripple across a wide expanse.

Use the transformation tips below to understand how water can both insulate you, and help you transform a situation or your life.

Tap the 1 star for big change.

When the 1 annual star comes to visit your bedroom or front door, you’ll often find yourself in a completely different situation in one year than you were in the next. To make this more powerful, adding a water fountain to the location of the 1 star will help usher in the change.

Watch the 1 star for your zodiac sign.

The 1 star also influences your zodiac sign. When the 1 star visits your sign, such as the horse in 2021, the rat in 2022, and sheep and monkey in 2023, changes will occur. It’s possible you will change your job, relationships, or move house. To make this change occur, activate with metal here to help you ensure the transformation takes place.

1 Star is the Victory Star.

Sometimes life can feel like you’re working really hard to get somewhere and others seem to be leap-frogging ahead of you. When the 1 star visits your front door or your bedroom it opens up the opportunity for you to jump to the head of the line.

That’s because the 1 star is also called the Victory Star. 

Whenever the 1 star flies into your bedroom or to your front door, this is the year when you can throw your hat into the ring and come out ahead. Enter competitions, submit a resume, enter contests and put your name into consideration for new jobs, a new plush apartment, a bank loan, or any place where you will compete with others.

With the 1 star on your side, you can see yourself move ahead quickly and ahead of the competition, so make the most of this wonderful energy when it finds your zodiac sign, front door, or bedroom.

Use water to tap the 1 star.

Water is the essential ingredient of the 1 star, and to activate it, you will often need real moving water. If you’d like to create a shift in your life, be sure to add water wherever the 1 star visits for the year.

Be sure to check the annual energies each year to see where the 1 star has flown and how to activate it fully. In 2021, the 1 star is in the south, but metal is the preferred element. In 2022, the 1 star heads home to the north, but metal is still the preferred element. When it moves to the southwest in 2023, a flowing fountain will be a big benefit.

Water helps improve health and health.

If you want to make transform by growing out of a rut, it’s important to activate the growth corners of the east and southeast. Water here helps the wood element of these two corners and promotes growth.

Adding water to the east health corner of your home or living room (unless they’re bedrooms or bathrooms), is a terrific way to promote good health and family relationships. A fountain in this corner of your garden is always auspicious.

In the southeast wealth corner, a fountain can help generate wealth and tap the spirit of the dragon in this corner. Add three tiers and lighting to make your fountains even more auspicious!

When nerves are on edge, use water.

Water is a natural insulator, so drinking more water will help you weather changes and help bring down tense emotions. Having a fountain or water feature in your home or garden is a quick way to add some calm and soothing water sounds. Hearing the trickle of water is a natural relaxer. If you can get to a beach or swimming pool, spend time relaxing there.

Visit water.

A vacation near water is healing and also a great way to clear your mind and sort through decisions or become clear on what you need to do to move forward in your life.

Use a flower water bath ritual to cleanse and purify.

Can’t get to the beach anytime soon? then soaking in a tub of warm water is a wonderful way to relax, but you can also use it to purify and cleanse yourself of negative feelings and give your spirit a calming lift.

If you feel down or dispirited, a flower bath can help soothe weary emotions.

In a warm bath, add the petals of seven types of flowers to represent the seven chakras. Include flower petals that are white, blue, pink, red, yellow, and purple. You may also want to add a few drops of lavender essential oil.

This is an especially powerful ritual to use at the full moon. Add flower petals to a large bowl of water and let them sit overnight in the moonlight. The next day, add the flowers and the water to your bath.

The flower bath will leave you feeling refreshed and re-charged, and help you with your personal transformation.
