Feng Shui Gourd for Longevity and Good Fortune

In Feng Shui, the bottle gourd, also known as the Feng Shui Gourd Wu Lou is one of the most potent symbols of longevity and good fortune. The gourd also signifies an abundance of blessings by Taoist and Buddhist Deities. Displaying a gourd figurine in and around the home is a good omen. It suggests that the home receives many blessing and is visited by these holy beings.

Those who wish to be blessed fully from the use of feng shui gourds should display them on the office desk or study table. This item is a perfect gift to family members and close friends. It is very suitable for men and women.

Avoid putting this feng shui item inside your toilet/bathroom or place on the floor. Place the wu lou at the each side of your bed to protect you from any illness. It can also bring longevity to your marriage if you place this Wu Lou in your dressing table.

Things to note:

– Many gourds sold in feng shui stores have a red ribbon or red thread tied around them, said to be for enhancement or activation purposes. However, if the gourds are to be displayed in the locations of the No. 5 Yellow Star and No. 2 Black Star, then the red thread or red ribbon should best be avoided because the red colour (Fire Element) will enhance the sickness-related stars (Earth Element).

– As with all feng shui items, once the gourd is damaged or tarnished, it has to be replaced.
