The Phoenix, a magnificent large bird, is one of the four celestial animals. It is an important symbol in Feng Shui, as it holds many desirable traits. According to Feng Shui Bagua Theory, the South direction (which is the sector of fame and recognition luck, of the element Fire) is the direction of the Phoenix. It is for this reason that placing a Phoenix figurine alone in the South sector will activate its potent yang energy, and create both popularity and opportunities. Recognition luck is the kind of luck that will help your hard work or efforts get noticed and appreciated, your ideas and plans get listened to, and your accomplishments praised and acknowledged by your superior or boss. Without this luck, your good work will often be overlooked and your weaknesses being constantly picked on. The Phoenix is ideal for singles that are looking for love. When it is placed alongside a Dragon, it’s yin energy is activated, and this is optimum for couples (yin and yang) who are looking for everlasting love.
The Phoenix is mainly an emblem for females; as opposed to many other Fengshui figures which best benefit the patriarch of the family, the Phoenix will serve the matriarch most effectively.
