-Feng Shui Tips for Everyday-

All Regular Shapes are Auspicious in Feng Shui:

Correct. In this practice, all regular shapes are welcome. So, if you have a square, rectangular, round or octagonal (Bagua shaped) dining table, you’re ok! Also, each of these shapes represents an element:

Square=Earth Element

Rectangular=Wood

Round=Metal

Fire is represented by a triangular shape and water is wavy.

But, there is always room for enhancements right? It is said that round dining tables result in more peaceful meals, there are less arguments between family members and there are no sharp edges that disturb the harmony of the environment.

The Chinese and Round Dining Tables throughout History:

As stated above, the Chinese also believed that round dining tables were best because harmony was achieved during meals and reunions. The shape symbolizes peaceful and smooth relationships and equality in the family.

You won't be able to find a single Chinese family that doesn't own a round dining table! They are made from the finest woods and are carved with auspicious symbols signifying abundance throughout the year. These tables are commonly decorated with beautiful flower arrangements representing great fortunes.

The Meaning of the Circle

The circle often symbolizes harmonious relationships and heavenly chi. Families seated at a round table will not have to deal with heavy energies and the father figure is respected deeply.

All members should sit where they most feel secure to assure good Feng Shui energy. If you'd like you can also use the individual Kua number in order to know what each member’s auspicious directions are.
