What kind of car is good for the Feng Shui of the home?
If you or someone around you is planning to buy a car soon, you can tell him/her what Feng Shui needs to be paid attention to when buying a car. In this issue, the editor will teach everyone about the knowledge of buying a car that is good for the Feng Shui of the home.
Nine Principles of Car Feng Shui
We should all know that when buying a car, we should not only consider the color of the car but also consider the license plate number of the car, car accessories, etc. These are all necessary processes when buying a car, and they are also related to the knowledge of car Feng Shui.
1. Is there a consideration of the Five Elements of passengers in the car?
The car is a mobile residence, and the passengers in the car occupy a certain space together. Therefore, if you are traveling long distances or even short distances but traveling together every day, the Five Elements of the passengers in the car should be considered: if the Five Elements conflict, it may bring hidden dangers to the mood and even the safety of the passengers in the car.
Therefore, if the same group of people often use the car, and there are always breakdowns, scratches, or accidents, it may be worth checking if the Five Elements of the passengers are conflicting.
2. Should the Five Elements be considered according to the shape of the car?
The different shapes of cars correspond to different Five Elements. Generally:
(1) Cars with angular elements belong to Metal.
(2) Cars with slender elements belong to Wood.
(3) Cars with round elements, such as Beetles, belong to Water.
(4) Cars with pointed elements belong to Fire, such as some streamlined sports cars.
(5) Cars with square elements belong to Earth, such as Cherokees, etc.
3. Differentiate the Five Elements according to the adaptability of car colors
If we consider cars as living objects, we can differentiate car colors according to the Five Elements in traditional Chinese physiognomy.
(1) White or milky white cars belong to Metal.
(2) Green cars belong to Wood.
(3) Black or blue cars belong to Water.
(4) Red or purple cars belong to Fire.
(5) Yellow or earthy yellow cars belong to Earth.
It is advisable for people with the same Five Elements to choose colors that suit their own Five Elements.
4. Of course, choose a good day to choose a car
Everyone knows that for events like weddings, choosing an auspicious day is important.
In fact, buying a car or even needing to drive a car also requires choosing a good day. Apart from avoiding days that clash with your Chinese zodiac sign, you should also avoid days that are inauspicious or associated with death when buying a car or driving. Days that are auspicious for buying cars include days that are auspicious for starting, fullness, peace, stability, and success.
Choosing an auspicious day to buy a car is also related to personal astrological aspects. With more attention to detail, it is possible for us to choose a better car and make it more convenient to use.
5. Pay attention to car interiors and auspicious ornaments
The car is a mobile home, so it should not be decorated casually. There should be some attention to detail. For example, window curtains are better than window films on the sides of the car; randomly adding subwoofers can easily cause imbalance in the Five Elements inside the car. Placing air fresheners or hanging small toys on the rear windshield are not very suitable.
Of course, if friends hang auspicious ornaments suitable for their own Five Elements in the car according to their astrological aspects, that is acceptable. For example, if someone lacks Wood in their Five Elements, it is advisable to hang small peach wood decorations in the car. Also, hanging an image of Guanyin on the windshield is also a good idea.
6. Which country’s car is suitable for you?
Before cars were invented, carriages were the best land transportation for humans. In 1770, Frenchman Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot mounted a steam engine on a wagon, creating the first steam-powered wagon in the world. In 1885, German engineer Karl Benz manufactured a three-wheeled vehicle powered by a 0.85-horsepower gasoline engine in Mannheim. Another German engineer, Gottlieb Daimler, also simultaneously developed a four-wheeled car powered by a 1.1-horsepower gasoline engine, which is the first modern car.
Is any car suitable for anyone? Of course not. From a Feng Shui perspective, different cars suit different people based on the Five Elements. For example, American cars belong to Metal, German cars belong to Fire, Japanese cars belong to Wood, Chinese cars belong to Earth, and some European cars belong to Water. Therefore, when choosing your favorite car, the first thing to consider is a car from a country that matches your Five Elements.
7. Can you drive your car anywhere?
Because the wind and water on the road have an impact on driving pleasure and safety, we must pay attention to it. Experienced drivers know that although all roads lead to Rome, there are some roads where you should not drive your car carelessly.
Some people feel uncomfortable driving their car on certain roads, always feeling anxious and distracted; while driving on other roads can be refreshing. What is the reason? This is actually a kind of “interaction” between the road and the car and the passengers in the car, and it is something that needs special attention in car Feng Shui: try to avoid driving on mysterious roads or roads that have not been traveled, take a detour if necessary to avoid occurrences that should not happen.
8. Are car Feng Shui products effective?
There is a wide variety of products related to car Feng Shui on the market, and they are reasonably priced. Are they effective? According to Master Bao Shuanglong, it depends on the specific situation. If you have been paying attention to car Feng Shui from the beginning and also have a clear understanding of your own astrological aspects, then placing car products inside the car or performing rituals such as “consecration” on the car should have some effect; otherwise, if you do it blindly and follow the crowd, the effect may be limited, or even counterproductive.
Many people believe that once a car is consecrated, it will be protected by Buddhism, ensuring safety. Such thinking is too naive. In fact, whether it is consecration or blessing, it is just sowing a seed of karma, a wish for safety. If you remember safety every time you go out, drive carefully, obey traffic rules, improve your driving skills, then such rituals are purely redundant. If the car owner does not prioritize safety, then no matter how consecrated the car is, it will not be effective.
9. Do not park your beloved car randomly
Many people are very careful and cherish their cars when they buy them, but after buying a car, due to objective reasons, they park their beloved cars randomly, wherever there is space; wherever they can squeeze in. From a Feng Shui perspective, this is not good, not only is it disrespectful to the car, leading to a situation where “if you don’t love the car, the car won’t love you,” but more importantly, in the long run, it may lead to a decline in your luck. At that time, you won’t even know who is playing tricks on you, in one word: bad luck!
Is it good to park the car in an underground parking lot for a long time? The answer is also not necessarily. Because underground parking lots have strong Yin energy, which can easily cause imbalance in the Five Elements of the car and the car owner. Also, do not park the car facing the direction of your house because a car facing a building is like a “meat-eating tiger,” which may pose a threat to the people inside the building. Also, do not park at the end of a road, let alone under high-voltage lines.
Good car Feng Shui is also a matter of ensuring safety for us, and when driving, we should also pay attention to safety, drive carefully, and be cautious, so as to avoid accidents and even more serious incidents.
How to choose a car that suits you
1. A car with a transparent interior
A car with a long and spacious interior, with sunlight penetrating directly, is the most conducive to Feng Shui. Such a car can add Yang energy to the homeowner in Feng Shui, ensuring longevity. A transparent car can also keep the air inside the car clean and to a large extent improve the heavy oil fumes inside the car.
2. Convertible cars
Convertible cars have always been a preferred choice because they have a large area and can accommodate many people at once. In Feng Shui, convertible cars allow the good fortune to land on us, which means that choosing a convertible car is most beneficial for Feng Shui, no matter the price, anyone who uses it will know its benefits.
3. Exquisite black Jeep
Jeep cars have always excelled on off-road paths, and in Feng Shui, a black car shell symbolizes gathering all wealth. This means that a black Jeep can indirectly increase the wealth of the homeowner and is also a great outdoor vehicle. It allows the whole family to go off-road, making everyone in the family happy.
4. Cars with high color recognition
Nowadays, cars on the street are mostly white or pure black, but cars with high color fluctuations still look very attractive. Changing the color of a car can also change one’s mood in Feng Shui. Often, a person’s mood is related to the colors around them. If you choose a more vibrant color, such as sky blue, it can greatly improve your mood.
5. Red cars
Red has always been an auspicious color in Feng Shui. If a woman drives a red car at home, her position in the family must be very high. A red car is a very obvious auspicious husband car. If you give a red car to a woman, you are indirectly adding good fortune to yourself, so why not take advantage of it?
In conclusion: Nowadays, almost everyone has a car, so Feng Shui when buying a car is one of the Feng Shui knowledge that people should understand now.
