You might think that pairing ‘World Farm Animal Day’ and Feng Shui might be difficult, but the two actually have a lot in common. Feng Shui started in China with farmers who found that the location of their farms often determined how they survive. Their animals also held special significance in the unfolding of this philosophy. For example, a pig is said to symbolize abundance, safety, fertility and success. During less urbanized days the intelligent pig was even considered to be man’s real best friend. Horses are said to symbolize fame while the cow and its milk producing abilities represented descendant’s luck and good fortune to those who fed it. In fact, cows were believed to be able to grant wishes and help one achieve their goals. Therefore, Feng Shui says to place an image of the pig in your ‘Wealth’ arena to increase your abundance. Or put a symbol or statue of a horse in the ‘Fame’ area to grow your recognition and rewards. Place a representation of a magical cow on or around your desk in order to turn wishes into reality. Gives new meaning to ‘Old MacDonald,’ doesn’t it?
