Wealth Feng Shui: Eastern Wisdom for Western Homes
The Basics of Money Energy
Feng Shui (literally “wind-water”) is a 3,000-year-old Chinese practice of arranging environments to harmonize with natural energy flows. For wealth attraction, we focus on the “Xun” area – the wealth corner located at the southeast sector of any space.
5 Practical Adjustments:
- The Prosperity Doorway
Ensure your main entrance is clutter-free and well-lit. In Western homes, painting it red or green enhances “wealth chi” energy flow. - Aquatic Abundance
Place a small fountain or aquarium in the southeast area. Moving water symbolizes cash flow – just avoid stagnant water which represents financial blockages. - Citrus Money Trees
Potted jade plants or orange trees in the wealth area activate prosperity. The round leaves symbolize coins, while citrus fruits represent golden wealth. - Command Position
Position desks and beds diagonally opposite the door (never directly in line) to establish psychological control over finances. - Three-Legged Toad Charm
This mythical creature with a coin in its mouth should face inward near your entrance, “spitting” wealth into your home.
Modern Adaptations:
- Keep financial documents organized in wooden boxes
- Display symbols of personal wealth goals (travel photos for adventure funds, etc.)
- Avoid overhead beams above workspaces which create “financial pressure”
Remember: Feng Shui works best when combined with practical financial planning. The energy adjustments create opportunities, but action seals the deal.
