Feng Shui Horseshoe Placement: Feng Shui and Indian Vastu Shastra both recommend the use of symbols and objects to attract positive energy and protect against negative influences. One of these is the horseshoe, which has been considered a symbol of good luck, protection, and warding off negative forces for centuries. It is believed in India as well as in Western countries that placing a horseshoe on the main door maintains happiness, peace, prosperity,
and security in the house.
Benefits Of Wearing a Horseshoe
- Protection from negative energy and the evil eye.
- Happiness, prosperity, and peace in the house.
- Protection from mental stress and unwanted obstacles.
- Protection from misfortune and financial loss.
The Right Way To Put A Horseshoe On The Main Door
Choose A Genuine Iron Horseshoe
- The horseshoe should be made of genuine iron, and if possible, a horseshoe that has been previously attached to a horse’s leg (used) is considered more effective.
- This horseshoe is easily available in the market, but make sure it is not rusted.
Keep The Direction In Mind
- The main door is the entrance of the house’s energy, so it is placed there.
- Always place the horseshoe above the main door, on the outside.
Auspicious Day And Time To Place A Horseshoe
- It is considered most auspicious to place a horseshoe on Saturday, especially on Shani Amavasya or Saturday evening.
- Purify it by washing it with Gangajal or pure water and lighting an incense stick/lamp before placing it.
Keep These Things In Mind While Placing A Horseshoe
- Never place a horseshoe in a broken or torn condition.
- Avoid placing it on the inside of the door, as this may reduce its effect.
- Do not use a dirty, rusted, or dusty horseshoe.
- If there is any religious symbol on the door, then place the horseshoe above it or in a different direction.
Other Important Tips
- If you want, you can fix the horseshoe tightly on the door by nailing it or hang it in a decorative frame.
- You can also tie a red thread or mauli with the horseshoe, which makes it even more auspicious.
