The Wealth Position indicates the path that can enhance an individual’s financial fortune. It is primarily categorized into the Wealth Position of the home and the personal Wealth Position.
The residence’s Wealth Position is mainly determined by the Eight Mansions Feng Shui and Xuan Kong Flying Star Feng Shui. Both methods are widely used. Here we suggest that for ordinary residences, both the Eight Mansions Feng Shui and Flying Star Feng Shui are applicable. For buildings with independent Feng Shui systems such as factories and large stores, it is recommended to use the Flying Star Feng Shui.
Below, we will separately introduce how to determine the Wealth Position using the Eight Mansions Feng Shui and Xuan Kong Flying Star Feng Shui.
Compared with Xuan Kong Flying Star Feng Shui, the Eight Mansions Feng Shui is much simpler. We will start from the easiest to the most difficult.
Determining the Residence’s Wealth Position with Eight Mansions Feng Shui
The Eight Mansions Feng Shui classifies residences into eight types according to their sitting and facing directions:
- East Four Mansions: Zhen Mansion (sitting east, facing west), Li Mansion (sitting south, facing north), Xun Mansion (sitting southeast, facing northwest), Kan Mansion (sitting north, facing south)
- West Four Mansions: Qian Mansion (sitting northwest, facing southeast), Dui Mansion (sitting west, facing east), Gen Mansion (sitting northeast, facing southwest), Kun Mansion (sitting southwest, facing northeast)
The Eight Mansions Feng Shui holds that the Wealth Position refers to the Tianyi (Health), Shengqi (Vitality) and Yannian (Longevity) positions in the Eight Mansions. The directions of these positions vary by mansion, as listed below:
- Zhen Mansion: Due south (Great Auspiciousness: Shengqi), due north (Great Auspiciousness: Tianyi), southeast (Moderate Auspiciousness: Yannian)
- Kan Mansion: Southeast (Great Auspiciousness: Shengqi), due east (Great Auspiciousness: Tianyi), due south (Moderate Auspiciousness: Yannian)
- Xun Mansion: Due north (Great Auspiciousness: Shengqi), due south (Great Auspiciousness: Tianyi), due east (Moderate Auspiciousness: Yannian)
- Li Mansion: Due east (Great Auspiciousness: Shengqi), southeast (Great Auspiciousness: Tianyi), due north (Moderate Auspiciousness: Yannian)
- Gen Mansion: Southwest (Great Auspiciousness: Shengqi), northwest (Great Auspiciousness: Tianyi), due west (Moderate Auspiciousness: Yannian)
- Qian Mansion: Due west (Great Auspiciousness: Shengqi), northeast (Great Auspiciousness: Tianyi), southwest (Moderate Auspiciousness: Yannian)
- Dui Mansion: Northwest (Great Auspiciousness: Shengqi), southwest (Great Auspiciousness: Tianyi), northeast (Moderate Auspiciousness: Yannian)
- Kun Mansion: Northeast (Great Auspiciousness: Shengqi), due west (Great Auspiciousness: Tianyi), northwest (Moderate Auspiciousness: Yannian)
The Shengqi Position represents big wealth with certain speculative nature. Of course, big wealth comes with big risks, so it is suitable for companies, enterprises or industries with certain speculation. The Tianyi Position represents stable wealth, suitable for those who keep wealth, ordinary wage earners or relatively stable industries. Due to its wide applicability, it can be understood as the Wealth Position in the general sense. The Yannian Position represents quick wealth, suitable for older people to earn money early and enjoy life—they may not have the physical strength to “play the long game”.
Based on the above analysis, in general, ordinary people can regard the Tianyi Position as the Wealth Position.
The above content can accurately determine the residence’s Wealth Position. Like residences, people’s life gua are also divided into East Four Gua and West Four Gua. However, there are cases where the residence and life gua do not match, such as people with East Four Gua living in West Four Mansions, or those with West Four Gua living in East Four Mansions. How to determine the Wealth Position in such cases?
Determining the Residence’s Wealth Position with Xuan Kong Flying Star Feng Shui
Different from the Eight Mansions Feng Shui, which stimulates earth energy—earth is static in position, so it is durable and stable—the Flying Star Feng Shui stimulates celestial energy—heaven is dynamic and endless, so the Wealth Position determined by the Flying Star Feng Shui changes constantly. The Flying Star Feng Shui is relatively complex. Just as there is no need to plant trees to cut firewood, there is no need to learn the Flying Star Feng Shui just to determine the Wealth Position—that would mix up the primary and secondary priorities.
Below we will look at the Wealth Position of Xuan Kong Flying Stars in 2024.
2024 is the Jiachen Year of the Dragon. In 2024, the Nine Purple Star is in the southwest, so the southwest position of the home is the annual Wealth Position in 2024.
In addition, in Xuan Kong Flying Stars, not only the position of flying stars changes every year, but also every month, every day and every hour. However, compared with the annual changes, the effect of other changes is very small, and the changes on different days and hours can even be ignored.
Room-Specific Wealth Position
This method is used to determine the Wealth Position of the living room, bedroom, etc. The effect of such room-specific Wealth Position is far less than that of the Wealth Position determined by the Eight Mansions or Flying Star methods, but it has certain reference value. The method to determine the room-specific Wealth Position is very simple: it is the diagonal position of the room’s entrance. If the entrance is in the center, the Wealth Position is the vertex of the two diagonals. These points are where energy gathers. As shown in the figure below:Wealth Positions on the Diagonals
Methods to Enhance the Residence’s Wealth Position
- Keep it bright: Avoid darkness. Brightness makes it full of vitality.
- Keep it lively: The so-called “lively” refers to vigorous vitality. Evergreen plants should be placed in the Wealth Position, especially those with large or thick leaves such as pothos, money tree and dracaena. However, it should be noted that water-cultivated plants are not suitable. Similarly, fish tanks should not be placed in the Wealth Position, which means “wealth dissolving like water”.
- Suitable for sitting and sleeping: The Wealth Position is the direction where the family’s financial energy gathers and should be utilized. For example, place sofas or beds in the Wealth Position. Sitting and sleeping in the Wealth Position for a long time can absorb more financial energy there, which will naturally make the family prosperous.
- Suitable for auspicious decorations: The Wealth Position is where prosperous energy gathers. If you place some auspicious objects there, such as statues of the Three Stars of Fortune, Emoluments and Longevity, or the Civil and Military God of Wealth, it will be more auspicious, like adding flowers to brocade.
Personal Wealth Position
A Feng Shui layout based on the personal Wealth Position can actually boost one’s own luck and make oneself prosperous immediately. On the premise of ensuring the safety and harmony of the whole family, it is the most difficult to specifically boost a certain aspect of luck for a certain person.
The personal Wealth Position is the Lu Position of the Five Elements of the Heavenly Stem of the birth year. There are ten fixed Heavenly Stems for the birth year: Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui. They cycle every ten years. According to the figure below, we can easily find out our own personal Wealth Position.
Personal Wealth Position Query Chart
This chart is queried according to the last digit of the Gregorian (solar) birth year. For example, people born in 1972, 1982 and 1992 have the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches of their birth years as Renzi, Renxu and Renshen. Since the last digit of their birth years is 2, according to the above chart, the Heavenly Stem of their birth years is Ren. The Lu Position of Ren is Hai, and the Wealth Position is northwest. The personal Wealth Position is different from the residence’s Wealth Position. The personal Wealth Position is not limited to the residence. It can be regarded as the northwest direction with the home as the center.
