Jade Monkey Atop Elephant with Trunk Down


The influence of the elephant on mankind has always been found to be fascinating, enchanting and charming. The role of the elephant in myth, legend, religion, history, folklore and war, has made it a symbol of splendor.


Marveled by the Chinese, Indians and Africans as the most auspicious symbol from the animal kingdom embodying strength, dignity, virility, fertility, prudence, wisdom and intelligence, the elephant is worshipped and honored, sacred and loved. In Buddhism, the elephant is one of the eight precious holy animals and the India God Ganesha is pictured as having the head of an elephant – signs of revered greatness.


Here is how the Elephant can be used to Feng Shui your way to a better life:


1. Place a pair of Elephants by either side of your main door facing inward (if placed inside) to symbolize arrival of good luck, or facing outward (if placed outside) for protection of the household.


2. Place one Elephant figurine in your bedroom or in the West sector of your house if you are trying to conceive. Stroke its trunk every night before you sleep. According to the Pakua 8 Life Aspirations Theory and Trigram Formula, the West sector governs descendant luck.


3. Place them prominently on your work desk facing out in your office for protection and good luck in your career or business. Elephant in Chinese is “Hsiang” which also sounds like Prime Minister. The elephant is thus the symbol of strength, intelligence, prudence and wisdom - all qualities of a capable leader.
