What can I place at 'Cai Wei' (Wealth corner)?

[tohdj]

Hi,
What would be a good item to place at the CAI WEI??? I've seen people put a small water fountain with flashing lights, some placed plants, others placed frogs-with-gold-coin etc.
Thanks

Yes, at the Cai Wei or Wealth location, you can place articles or objects that enhance beneficial ch'i.
As you have mentioned you can place for example a water fountain as water fountains are good ch'i enhancers. Best to place a rounded water fountain as a square one has `sharp' corners and may inadvertently produce `sha ch'i' or poison arrows. Even a coin bank full of coins are equally good.
Some even sell e.g. a tray of beads, ribbons and candle that represents the " 5 elements ". Some FS Masters even advise to purchase a hanging lamp with five bulbs. Each bulb to represent one of the " 5 elements ".
Do note that plants are usually used to `absorb' sha ch'i e.g. placed at a sharp corner and usally not used to improve " Cai Wei " or Wealth. Therefore, plants are usually used by Taiwanese FS Masters as `cures.'
Also take note that fish tank is also not usually used as ch'i enhancers but rather as `cures' and is popular with Hong Kong FS Masters. Some also say that:
1. what happens if the fish dies or 2. when you pour water away from the fish tank you are in fact pouring away wealth!
Similiarly, some FS Masters advise that you tie three coins with red strings and place it on the main entrance door mat (either inside the house or outside the house). When you step on it, you are infact stepping on wealth.
Caution: DO NOT place objects e.g. a frog with an open mouth or any pictures of hungry animails especially a painting of a hungry tiger as this is inauspcious in the house! An open mouth signifies that you will always be hungry! Do believe what I say here.
I remembered reading Evelyn Lip's book of this case I am quoting it off-hand as I remembered it:
In one of her books she mentioned that this house owner met with calamity and not even a Feng Shui Master could wonder why? Finally, one day a Feng Shui Master was standing in the house and as this is the low tide, saw a rock shaped like a frog with it's mouth open `looking at the house'. This signifiies that the frog was hungry and this accounted for the calamity that faced the family. If this was discovered earlier, a pearl or crystal could have been inserted into the mouth of this rock (frog image) and the problem rectified.
So the morale of the story is never chose any statutes with an open mouth or point it in your house. You may face the same problem as the above.

Thank you very much! I'll be buying a fountain.
I agree very much with the painting of Tigers...My father had a painting of a tiger which looked like it was going up a hill, but its head looked to its back, as if it was ready to attack anybody who tries to follow. Quarrels were plenty, until a friend pointed out that it should be removed. I did, and peace returned.

Dear Cecil/Robert
I placed a fish-shaped earthen-vase with an open-mouth at SE facing main door(South) looking out. No particular purpose here except as a decor piece and to strengthen my weak Earth element
Having read your reply in this forum, is this advisable? shd I totally remove or relocate the decor?
Thanks

Dear Eve,
My advice is not to have an open mouth fish-shaped earthen-vase even if it is facing the main entrance door. If you have noticed most of the objects e.g. some consider the 3 legged frog, also have a coin in the mouth of the frog and a `crystal' representing a diamond.
It is preferred to have an object with a closed mouth and e.g. a coin or any other precious stones in the mouth. This is symbolic of obtaining wealth.

Depending on a sector, a simple bowl filled with coins and red packets can even be used for certain wealth locations.

These are everyday or common things that don’t need to costs an arm or a leg as sold by some unscrupulous persons!
