Feng Shui is based on the principles of five primary elements—water, fire, earth, metal, and wood. The balance of these elements ensures happiness, peace, and success in the home and life. Of these, the water element is extremely important. It symbolizes flow, flexibility, emotions, intuition, and wealth. The water element is also associated with career development and new opportunities. When it is balanced, life becomes spontaneous, creative, and economically enriched. However, when it is out of balance, a person experiences emotional instability, stagnation, or financial obstacles. (Image: Canva)
