Water in the Bedroom

[river bend]

I am very new and learning feng shui principles. My understanding is that the use of an aquarium in the bedroom is not a "good thing". Does this also apply to the use of a water fountain in the bedroom?

Dear Anon,
One of the basic questions involving the bed room has to do with the level or balance of yin / yang.
Here, Yin relates to rest.
While Yang relates activity.
Therefore, " Yin " is favoured instead of Yang especially in a bedroom. Where rest should be more important.
However, especially for the growing i.e. children or students, especially if they are studying, should have a mix of yin and yang in the bedroom especially if this location allows them for work and later for rest.
A water fountain depending on its size, may create a MORE Yang condition and with an aquarium.
There is no hard and fast rule to say that one should not use such items in the bedroom other than for the following considerations:-
1. If one wants more yin environment in the bedroom, then avoid having a water position.
2. If one uses the Flying Star analysis, does water element create an imbalance? at the sector? If not, it is still May be acceptable to have such a water feature in the room.
A good point to note is that for some of us, we may feel uncomfortable with a mirror facing us; while others may not feel anything to the person. The degree of tolerance differs for each person.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
