Water Tank at West side of house

[unknown]

I've read articles that water/fish tanks should not be placed on the west side of a house. Is is true? But according to the geomancer I consulted about one and a half years ago, who based on my family members' birth dates, said that we should place a water tank on the west of our house. How would this affect us? Cause my children have been falling sick for quite some time.

Dear "UnKnown",
1. Usually, the placement of a water positions at certain locations, need further analysis (if possible).
2. Placing a water position can be analysed under:
2.1 Is there a poison arrow?
As mentioned in previous messages, Hong Kong Feng Shui practitioners have a `habit' of advising their clients to place a fish tank e.g. at a window to counteract a poison arrow or Sha Qi of e.g. a lone lamp post.
This is to neutralise the Sha Qi.
2.2 To `activate' water star or enhance Qi.
Such as the use of fountains or water positions.
Here, some Feng Shui practitioners either:-
- Use their `feelings' to suggest a location.
(Closer to the Shapes and Form School)
- Others use the Flying Star and then recommend a location.
3. Generally, West is a Yin location (setting sun) as opposed to the East, Yang location.
Thus one way of looking at it is that water is also `yin'. Because it is fluid. Too much water may create a too yin location.
In addition, especially if there are large trees or lots of trees outside the house. As mentioned, trees themselves are Yang, but the shade it provides, may create a more yin environment.
4. I have to use the Yin and Yang concept to elaborate, as we do not know the full details of you and your family or your house's audit details.
5. Another factor could be to watch out the sickness and misfortune numbers under the Flying Star in the home.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
