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.

The Elephant is considered to be one of Buddha’s sacred treasures and symbolizes power, respect, practical wisdom, good judgment, a long life and personal power.

 
The elephant is one of the celestial animals in Buddhism and is considered to be a powerful granter of your wishes. Placing a statue of an elephant in your home in any area that feels weak is said to provide a gentle and provident resolution to a problem.

 
Placed in the bedroom they can ensure that lovers and spouses will always be faithful. Placed in an office they can ensure your authority over others and wise steerage of a career.  The best elephant statue for business success in general is the one posed with a raised trunk.

 
Peace Be Still Sam

One of my favorite Feng Shui knickknacks is the dragon headed turtle. This auspicious statue is a hybrid of two lucky Chinese animals – it has the body of a turtle and the head of a dragon. It is sold as a brass, aluminum, ceramic, red lacquer or glass sculpture. You can also find them carved out of semi-precious stones such as rose quartz or jade. The better quality ones also feature a magic square marked with numbers engraved on the tortoise shell.

 

 This is such a powerful symbol of luck, love, wealth, protection and longevity that it is ideal to place in the center of your house which also metaphorically represents the center of the body and the self. However it is also considered to be an amplifier of good fortune that enhances the sector in which it is place.

  

Unlike the money frog, which has a coin placed in its mouth the dragon headed turtle features a ribbon. To attract love, you place a piece of red ribbon in its mouth and plaice it in the southwestern sector. For health, you place a blue ribbon in its mouth and place it in the center of your home. To attract money you place it in the southeastern corner and place a gold piece of ribbon in its mouth.

  

However it is considered bad luck to have a dragon headed turtle in your bathroom or kitchen.
