1. Auspicious Directions
Water accumulating in front of a residence is considered a geomantically auspicious location that attracts wealth and positive energy. If multiple rivers converge in front of a residence, it is called "water gathering at the heart of heaven," which is highly auspicious for wealth. However, this configuration is extremely rare. The most common geomantically auspicious water formations in cities are swimming pools and fountains. Swimming pools represent water and their placement can be chosen based on the five elements of the family members. Another method is to choose the placement based on the annual fortune. Taking the Eight Mansions period as an example: during this period, water in the southwest direction represents prosperous wealth. If there is a river, road, fountain, or swimming pool in the southwest of the residence, it is a good layout for enhancing wealth. If you plan to build a swimming pool, you can place it in the southwest of the residence, especially suitable for families where the female head of the household also favors water. Plants and trees can be planted next to the swimming pool depending on whether the family is lacking the wood element. If wood is lacking, more plants and trees can be planted, as water nourishes wood, which helps enhance the wood element; if wood is unfavorable, then no planting is necessary.
2. Avoid Rectangular Shapes
In geomancy, a rectangular swimming pool is considered an "unfeeling formation," implying that family members may encounter misfortunes or experience strained and cold relationships. After the swimming pool is built, the bottom is usually paved with patterned tiles or mosaics. Attention should be paid to the patterns during paving, avoiding inauspicious designs. A rectangular swimming pool resembles a coffin, creating a "coffin煞." Even if the residence has excellent geomancy, if the entrance directly faces a rectangular swimming pool (especially if the bottom pattern is a cross), the occupants will feel extremely uncomfortable. It is best to fill in this type of swimming pool, as it not only fails to enhance wealth but may also bring bad luck.
3. Two Square Swimming Pools Should Not Be Placed Side by Side
From a geomancy perspective, square swimming pools are the most unfavorable because they resemble the Chinese character for "cry." Imagine if two square swimming pools are placed side by side; a dog passing by would make the shape resemble the character for "cry"! Foreigners may like this design because they don't understand geomancy or recognize Chinese characters. However, home geomancy design cannot be based solely on personal preference; it cannot be square or rectangular but must be round to conform to geomantic principles.
4. The Best Shape for a Swimming Pool
From a geomancy perspective, kidney-shaped or gourd-shaped (like the Arabic numeral 8) swimming pools are the best. The closer the swimming pool is to a circular shape, the better. In geomancy, this configuration is known as an "affectionate formation." This shape is particularly beneficial for professions such as doctors; if children frequently swim in this type of pool, they are more likely to become doctors when they grow up.
