This is usually a one piece molded sculpture of eight horses running up hill. The statue symbolizes the charge of the brigade, the focus of one who intends to be victorious and also cash flow. This statue comes in many colors including red, green, brass or gold.  You can also sometimes find them made of jade and other semi precious stones but these versions are usually very expensive.

 
However in order for this statue to work for you it must be placed properly in your home. Many people think that because it is symbolic of prosperity that it could be place on a desk. However this statue should be placed at the front door with the horses appearing to run into your dwelling.  Make sure that the direction the horses are running is INTO the house and not out the front or back doors! Horses that face out the doors symbolize money flowing from away from you.

Aside from using colors such as red, green and purple and red lighting you can acquire a few inexpensive Chinese symbols to give your luck a boost as well.

 
One of the easiest ways to augment your wealth sector is simply to buy a few “gold” ingots in your local China Town. These ingots can also bring you wealth if you place them in your North (Career) and South (fame) sectors or on your desk.  One of the most powerful ingot statues is that of the Prosperity Buddha who is posed lifting a gold ingot over his head.

 
Other simple Chinese symbols that go well in this area is the statue of eight horses (placed as if they are running into your house with their backs to the door), a Chinese Money Toad (with the coin in its mouth pointing towards the door) or a statue of leaping carp.

If you really want to enhance the prosperity corner in any room (the southeast corner) then consider using the three colors that the Chinese find most fortuitous – purple red and green.
 
If you can’t stand these three colors together, which are not to most Westerner’s ideas of good taste, then you might consider creating a totemic still life made of those colors in that area.  You could create an arrangement of flowers such as a roses and irises together.
 
Another idea would be to create a still life using large gems and placing htem in a glass bowl. You could place a purple amytheyst, a piece of red jasper and a piece of green jade.
 
As things that come in threes are preferable in Fen Shui I opted to purchase three lava lamps – one in in red, one in green and one in purple.  Another solution would be to string Christmas lights in this area fitted with red, purple and green bulbs. Of course you don’t have to be so obvious about it. Yet another option is to instead insert colored light bulbs in red, green and purple in the lamps you have in this area for a subtle play of light.

Including a splash stone at the base of the waterfall is sure to keep money circulating through your life. Goldfish or koi fish in this type of pond will also keep your coffers full

As for plants green, yellow and red are the luckiest colors. Yellow flowers that are suggested for this area are daisies, daffodils, honeysuckle, heliotrope and trilliums. I am mixing up my cultures here but in Pagan magic these are also flowers that are thought to attract wealth.

Wealth attracting trees and bushes that should be put in this sector are maple and oak trees and ANY kind of fruit tree. Pecan, walnut and any kind of nut bearing tree will also symbolize financial security.If you live in a southern climate planting a real orange, lemon or lime tree should bring great rewards. Pineapple, pomegrante and coconut trees also bring prosperity.If you live in a northern climate try planting a mock orange bush.

For foilage, mosses, ferns, hostas and any kind of bromelaids are money attracting in the Southeast corner of the garden.

Magical herbs that are known to augment one’s bank account are basil, rosemary, parsley, thyme clover, dill, mint and vervaine. If you want to plant some produce in that area then there is no bigger cash attractor than lettuce. Planting squashes, pumpkins, corn, peas, oats, onions in that area.

As this is an area in the Ba Gua that is symbolized by small wood it would be a good idea to accent it with a small garden bench, a wooden bridge over a pond or a garden swing.

This is called Aqua Aura Quartz.

Aqua Aura Quartz is manufactured by treating natural clear quartz crystals placed in a pressure chamber with an infusion of pure vaporized gold. This accounts for the starry blue color.

An Aqua Aura Quartz is good for the office as it enhances one’s intution,judgement, intelligence and communication. It is also a prosperity stone whose glitter is thought to attract wealth and success. It is a gorgeous way to add a lighter looking whimsical earth element to a room.

Although they dosymbolize a weapon, they don’t symbolize war, but rather protection against bad energy. However if you point them in the wrong direction you can direct bad energy onto yourself.

 
Cannons are pointed objects so they are considered to be “arrows”  that direct bad chi. This is why you need to be very careful about where you place these arrows in your home. For instance if the cannons are positioned in the center of the home they could cause health problems. Be careful how you position them in an office as well to prevent yourself from sabotaging your own business.

 
Never point a cannon and the poison arrows of shar chi at yourself. The rule of thumb is to always place cannons near a window point the cannons towards the outside of the house. They are especially good for nosy neighbours or people who keep trespassing on your lawn.

Originally these ingots were used in china as a form of currency. The reason they are shaped like a small boat is because China was very much known for its exotic exports and shipping trades.  

 
The same way that boats used to circulate the world to spread the wealth of China, keeping gold ingots in your home is thought to circulate prosperity. They are also a money drawing talisman that symbolizes the metal element and can be used in the appropriate corner instead of the water or wood element. One of the best places to place a gold ingot is in the South East corner.

 
A bowl or vase filled with gold ingots and placed at the front door attracts wealth in the same way a bowl of change does but the money attracting properties are much more amplified..

It is adaptable to Feng Shui simply because it is a common practice to leave a bowl of coins by the front door to attract wealth.


All you need is a goblet, vase or pretty bowl of some kind. A cast iron bowl of some kind is good because the cast iron bowl means financial security in Feng Shui.  Red is a good color for this vessel and so is purple and gold. 


The best place to put this bowl is by the front door, along with a money frog or in your office.  Every day you simply drop a penny intot he bowl and at the same time visualize the circulation of more prosperity in your life.  You make sure that you do this every day while imagining your finances being added to or growing. The single penny is a humble offering that represents your openness to receiving more wealth in the future.

These coin spheres are usually created from replicas of Chinese coins. The circular shape represents heaven and the inside of the ball symbolizes the earth.


 It is recommended that you place this hand made prosperity symbol in the (southwestern) wealth corner or near a cash register, business phone or computer. When placed behind your desk at work the Coin Ball represents financial success for a project-in-progress
 
 Some prosperity balls made of coins also have bells, tassels or even firecrackers dangling from them. This is a protective element that can used to deter harmful influences that could damage your business.
