Find it, clear it, light it

1

Find it from the door

Stand inside the entrance and look across the room. The diagonal corner, where two walls meet, is the classic bright wealth position.

2

Keep it closed and still

The corner should hold qi. No doorway, no window, no walkway. Move out the trash can, the shoes and the tangled cords.

3

Give it life and light

People set a broad-leaf plant here, or a lamp. Spiky cactus usually stays out. Seat the sofa against a solid wall, facing the room.

Wealth, they say, settles where qi can rest.

Feng shui is a tradition for arranging a home. It cannot promise wealth, and it is no basis for money decisions.

Good to know

Where is the wealth corner in my living room?

Traditionally it is the corner diagonal from your entrance. Western Black Hat books use the far left corner instead. Classical practitioners also calculate a hidden wealth spot from the building's facing and period.

What should I put in my wealth corner?

A healthy broad-leaf plant or a warm lamp is the usual choice. Keep it clean and lit. Treat this as care for your home, since no object can promise money.

Where should a sofa go in feng shui?

Against a solid wall, with a view of the door. If it floats in the room, a console table or low bookcase behind it gives some backing.
