If you are familiar with Feng Shui statues you have probably run into the statue of eight horses by now. This is usually a one piece molded sculpture of eight horses running up hill. The statue symbolizes the charge of the brigade, the focus of one who intends to be victorious and also cash flow. This statue comes in many colors including red, green, brass or gold.  You can also sometimes find them made of jade and other semi precious stones but these versions are usually very expensive.

 
However in order for this statue to work for you it must be placed properly in your home. Many people think that because it is symbolic of prosperity that it could be place on a desk. However this statue should be placed at the front door with the horses appearing to run into your dwelling.  Make sure that the direction the horses are running is INTO the house and not out the front or back doors! Horses that face out the doors symbolize money flowing from away from you.

I am often asked about the symbolism of the Nine Goldfish in Feng Shui. In this tradition eight orange or yellow goldfish are placed in a tank along with one black goldfish. The eight orange colored fish are grouped in the traditionally prosperous number of 8 to attract wealth and prosperity. The ninth dark goldfish is a bit of an offering to the God’s of malfortune – an acknowledgement that along with the good often comes a bit of bad.

There is also a bit of divination that goes on with this type of aquarium. If an orange goldfish dies then you might suffer a financial setback. If a black goldfish dies then you are extremely blessed as this misfortune was supposed to hit a member of your family. Instead it struck down the fish.
