By the way, masaegu san, since it is incorrect to use 狙う for "I aim to drink at least 2 litres of water every day.", what should I use instead?
Use 「~~する事を目標にしている」.

1. 時計の針が七時を指している。
The hand of the clock is pointing at 7 o'clock.

2. 南を指して飛ぶ。 (Something) flies south.

3. 西日が指す部屋は人気がない。Rooms that get the (late) afternoon sun are not in high demand.

4. 誰かが私の命を狙っている。 Someone is trying to kill me.

5. あの俳優はアカデミー賞を狙っている。
That actor (over there) is aiming for academy award.

6. ネコが金魚を狙っている。
The cat is aiming for the goldfish. The cat is after the goldfish.
