Misplacement Of The 4 Celestial Animals???
One of the first theories we learnt in Feng Shui is the four Celestial Animals - Green Dragon, White Tiger, Red Phoenix and Black Turtle. In Chinese, it is common to hear people say "Left Green Dragon, Right White Tiger, Front Red Phoenix and Back Black Turtle".
This theory is very powerful and it has proven to be effective over the last thousands of year as testified by many. Even in the Yin Fengshui, sometime we can see figurines or sculptures of Green Dragon and White Tiger on the left and right of tombstones.

During my course of field audits, I have made several observations which are relevant to this theory. Somehow I realised houses with the West side higher or more vibrant than the East side pose more problems that right side over-towering the left side. Left and right are relative to the facing of a property but East and West are directions that are fixed. I believe if we understand how the four celestial animals are named, we probably have a clue. Why Green Dragon and White Tiger, and not the other way round? Dragon resides in the East, and green is the colour that represents the Wood element in the East and therefore the term Green Dragon was coined. Similarly the Tiger holds its fort in the West represented by White colour for Metal element, and hence named as White Tiger.
Of course, some practitioners advocate the "Left Green Dragon, Right White Tiger" theory, while others insist that "East Green Dragon, West White Tiger". So who is right? I think trust the one that works!!!
