Hi,

Most of us understand that many in the West associate the horse shoe with good luck.

In traditional Feng Shui, this relates more towards the `profile' of a land.

For example, if you have the opportunity to see a Chinese burial site, you will see that each traditional gravesite has a " horse shoe " i.e. if you have a topview of a gravesite, it looks like a horse shoe.

Why is this so?

If you can visualise, the horse shoe looks like a protective backing or solid backing protecting the entire gravesite.

Similiarly, under the Shapes and Form School - the Four symbolic animals, you will notice that many Chinese cities were in the past built on this premise. For example Canton etc..

Therefore, the horse shoe comes to be symbolised as = tortise or solid back.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
