Koi fish have intrigued and inspired humankind for centuries. Their bright, flashy colors have garnered them the moniker "living jewels". These beautiful fish are rich in spiritual significance, as well, particulary in Asian culture. Koi are known to symbolize luck and good fortune, financial abundance and success.
In astrology, the sign of Pisces corresponds with a glyph featuring two fish swimming in a circle, with the two creatures going in opposite directions. Sometimes the fish are depicted as colorful Koi.
In Feng Shui, the Chinese art of design and placement in a space meant to achieve the greatest harmony and balance, a koi pond in the garden creates an auspicious, optimal flow of universal life force energy for all who live and visit there. It also enhances family connections for harmony and unity.
Koi fish are known for their ability to climb rushing streams and UP waterfalls until they reach their destination. This determination and courage give them the qualities of tenacity, dedication, bravery, and fortitude. It is said that humans must navigate dangerous waters just as Koi do. In Buddhism, koi fish embody determination and focus on the goal of Enlightenment despite turbulent waters all around. By observing the grace and strength of koi fish, we are reminded of our own capacity to overcome adversity and transform into our highest selves.
