Introduction
"Where is the money spot?" This is the #1 question I get asked as a Feng Shui consultant.
๐ Table of Contents
Many people think Feng Shui is complicated math. While traditional schools use compass directions, looking for the "Xun" (Wealth) sector in a modern apartment is actually quite simple.
In this guide, I will show you how to locate the Wealth Corner in your home instantly and, more importantly, how to activate it to start shifting your financial energy.
Step 1: The "Front Door" Method
The easiest way to apply the Bagua Map to your home is by using your front door as the anchor.
- Stand at your front entrance, facing into your house
- Imagine a Tic-Tac-Toe grid (9 squares) overlaying your entire floor plan
- Look to the far left corner of your home
- That is your Wealth Corner
Note: You can also apply this to a single room. Stand at the bedroom door; the far left corner is the wealth spot of that room.
Step 2: What Should Be Here? (The Activators)
Now that you've found it, look at what's currently there. Is it a trash can? A pile of laundry? A dead plant?
If your Wealth Corner is cluttered, your finances will feel "blocked." To activate flow, we introduce elements that represent growth (Wood) and flow (Water).
Here are my Top 3 Wealth Activators:
1. Living Plants (Wood Energy)
Wood represents upward growth. A healthy, vibrant plant is the best anchor for this corner. Avoid cacti (spikes create conflict).
Top Pick: The "Money Tree" (Pachira Aquatica) or a Rubber Plant with round leaves.

Known as the "Merchant's Stone," Citrine doesn't hold negative energy. Its golden color represents abundance and solar plexus confidence.
Placement: Place a polished Citrine point or sphere right next to your plant.

In Chinese, "Shui" (Water) literally means money. A small tabletop fountain here keeps the energy moving and prevents stagnation.

Don't panic. This is a common layout. It just means you need to be mindful that wealth energy doesn't "flush away."
- Keep the toilet lid closed at all times
- Keep the drains plugged when not in use
- Add a vertically growing plant (like Bamboo) to push the energy back up
- Use Earth element colors (beige, terracotta) to ground the space
Common Wealth Corner Mistakes
โ What to Avoid
- Trash cans - Literally throwing money away
- Dead or dying plants - Represents declining finances
- Broken items - Signals broken income streams
- Clutter - Blocks the flow of opportunities
- Sharp objects - Creates cutting energy
โ What to Add
- Healthy, thriving plants
- Citrine or pyrite crystals
- Water features (flowing inward)
- Purple or gold accents
- Images of abundance (mountains, water)
The Power of Intention
Finding your Wealth Corner is just the beginning. The most important part is intention. When you clear this corner and place a beautiful object there, you are sending a signal to your subconsciousโand the Universeโthat you are open to receiving abundance.
- Clear the corner completely
- Clean it thoroughly
- Place your chosen activator (plant, crystal, or water)
- State your intention: "I am open to receiving abundance"
- Maintain it weekly
Conclusion
Your Wealth Corner is one of the most powerful areas in your home. By identifying it, clearing it, and activating it with the right elements, you create a physical anchor for your financial intentions.
Remember: Feng Shui works best when combined with action. Activate your Wealth Corner, then take inspired action towards your financial goals.

โ Frequently Asked Questions
Stand at your front door, facing into your home. The wealth corner is the FAR LEFT corner of your home (the "Xun" position in Bagua). You can also apply this to individual rooms - the far left corner from each room's entrance is that room's wealth area.
Don't panic! Keep the toilet lid closed at all times, plug drains when not in use, add a tall bamboo plant to push energy upward, use Earth element colors (beige, terracotta), and keep the space immaculately clean. This prevents wealth from "flushing away."
Best activators: 1) Living money tree or jade plant (Wood energy = growth), 2) Citrine crystal cluster (never needs cleansing, attracts wealth), 3) Small water fountain flowing INTO the room (Water = wealth in Chinese), 4) Purple or gold accents, 5) Images of abundance (mountains for support, water for flow).
Never place: Trash cans (throwing money away), dead/dying plants (declining finances), broken items (broken income), clutter (blocked opportunities), cacti/spiky plants (conflict with money), or images of poverty/hardship. These all drain wealth energy instead of attracting it.
Most people notice shifts within 27-40 days - the time for energy to circulate and settle. However, feng shui works best when combined with action! Activate your wealth corner, then take inspired action towards your financial goals. The space sets the energetic foundation.
