Since ages human relationship with pets has been found not only interesting but mysterious also. Even today, people owning pets, love and care for them just like other family members. There is a special kind of bonding that human beings share with their pets. Many of them also experience a mental communication with their pets.
In authentic texts on Vastu Shastra, great emphasise has been given on directions for location of pets. Ancient but not very popular texts on Vastu, like Vrahamihir Samhita, Aparajita Parijat, and Mannollas give specific guidelines that in which direction one should place resting areas of pets like dogs, parrots, pigeons, eagles, horse, elephants, deer, buffaloes, and cows. Even Ayurvedic texts on Pet health give references of directions mentioned in Vastu Shastra for better health and behaviour of pets at home.
In the case of pets, observations in relation with earth energy fields have shown interesting facts. Cats, Ants, and Reptiles always choose negative earth energy fields for deciding their habitat. On the other hand, Dogs, Cows, Horses, and Eagles always choose positive earth energy fields for their habitat. Based on these facts, it has been found that even in a built up environment like a home Cats always sit in negative earth energy fields and Dogs always sit on positive earth energy fields. Probably, even today, they have those internal senses to sense the environment which most of the humans have lost.
In Chinese culture, Feng-Shui recommends having Fish aquarium at the entrance to attract prosperity. But that is not true always, and this has been observed in Vastu Case studies collected from Singapur, China, Malaysia and also from United States. Having Fishes (whether in an aquarium or in a pond) kept in East-SouthEast, West-NorthWest and North-NorthWest not only gives Fishes a healthy and longer life but also reduces the anxiety and depression of occupants of the building. Even as per Feng-Shui, if Fishes were kept in these directions only then such environments were more relaxing and soothing. So they might have added prosperity and growth of business ventures happening in such places due to quality of that environment.
Everywhere in the world where people are fond of having Horses, they should avoid having Horses in NorthEast, SouthEast, South-SouthWest and West of North-West. Observations made on location of race Horses in different directions show that they were never able to win a single race, their performance was low and they remained unhealthy most of the times. In other directions than these, those Horses not only won the Races most of the times but also remained healthy and attentive to the commands of their jockeys.
