The Meaning Behind Which Direction the Koi Fish Is Swimming
Upstream
- You are currently in a battle or struggle and are still fighting obstacles but won’t give up.
- You have overcome obstacles and have now gained the strength you need to continue against the current.
Downstream
- You don’t yet possess the strength to make it against the obstacles and move towards success.
- You have already achieved your goals and overcome your obstacles, and you are no longer fighting the current.

Lotus Flowers
The lotus is a beautiful flower that grows out of muddy ponds. Bringing the lotus and the koi fish together represent pain, struggle, and growth. Just as the koi started as a little fish and grew into a strong dragon, the lotus starts out in a dirty pond but rises above the mud to become beautiful.
