Ushering In A Wealthier Year

The Lunar New Year is the most important event in the Chinese calendar and most Chinese display auspicious items in their homes and offices to symbolise prosperity, good fortune and to invite Wealth luck. In Feng Shui, various schools apply different techniques to determine Wealth sector in a dwelling and some of these can be pretty technical.

Let me introduce a simple way to identify and activate the Wealth sector.

If your main door is in centre (with reference to the living hall looking in), the left furthest corner diagonal to the door is the Wealth corner.

If your main door is at the right, the Wealth corner is also at furthest left corner diagonal to the door.

Lastly, if your main door is at the left, the Wealth corner is at furthest right corner diagonal to the door.

After identifying your Wealth corner, place auspicious items preferably related to Wealth here. Some people display God of Wealth, Gold Ingots, Piggy Bank..etc. For me, I prefer to use a Wealth bowl as seen below.

Other than displaying auspicious items, remember the followings:

1) Keep the Wealth corner bright and clean to invite the auspicious qi.

2) Do not put heavy stuff here to weight down your finance.

3) Do not put water and flower here. Chinese believes that doing so will 见财化水 (eroding one's wealth) & 把钱花光 (squander your wealth)

4) Do not have "poison arrow" (sharp corner or pointed objects) pointing directly at the wealth corner which may silently 'hurt' your finance.

Do try to activate your Wealth and drop me a note if it works for you! :-)
