The Dragon Tortoise is said to be a hybrid of two Heavenly creatures, the dragon and the tortoise. It is notably a tortoise with not a head of a tortoise but of a dragon and it is used by many Feng Shui practitioners. This very creature has been said to be able to live 3,000 years without either food or air.
The Dragon Tortoise is often seen on top of coins and with a coin in its mouth, but also often with a tortoise on its back to represent one’s descendants. Having a Dragon Tortoise with a tortoise on its back placed within one’s home is said to increase the luck of one’s very own descendants. Ribbons are also seen instead of a coin within the Dragon Tortoise’s mouth, blue ribbons in a Dragon Tortoise’s mouth is said to help with poor health, while a red ribbon is for a good relationships and for wealth a gold ribbon itself is used.
This creature is a powerful symbol said for attracting support, wealth, good luck and is an even more powerful symbol for luck in career. The Dragon Tortoise combines the dragon’s courage, determination and success with the tortoise’s longevity, stability and of ensuring a long and successful career. It is the Dragon Tortoise that it is said to be a must have for those doing a business.
Within Feng Shui, it is suggested not to place a Dragon Tortoise in a room where people rest, mainly the bedroom, it is also suggested not to place a Dragon Tortoise in one’s kitchen or bathroom. The best placement within one’s house or office is generally of the north (for career) or the southeast (for wealth), one might even place a Dragon Tortoise in the east as it is the east that is traditionally seen as the direction of the dragon.
The Dragon Tortoise can be placed the north or east on a desk for luck with careers, or close to a front or back door for longevity and prosperity. The Dragon Tortoise may also be placed by a cash register.
When placing a Dragon Tortoise take note not to have it directly in front of you where you sit as if you are confronting it, as this is seen as bad luck.
