You’ve probably heard about feng shui before, which is all about setting up your space in a way that improves your life. But what a lot of people don’t realize is that feng shui can actually help out your bank account too. In feng shui, money is seen as a type of energy. And in the spiritual world, different energies either attract each other or push each other away. So if you set up your home or office in a “feng shui way”, it can help the good money energy flow into your life.
Instead of always wondering why you’re not making more money, have you considered taking a look around your home with a feng shui mindset? Certain areas of your place are better than others for drawing in wealth. Let me walk you through activating your wealth corner step-by-step.
First of All, What Is Money Corner?
In feng shui, each area of a room or home has its own kind of energy or influence. The southeast corner in particular is known as the “money corner” since that’s the spot associated with wealth, prosperity, and flow of money and resources. By placing something meaningful in the southeast corner of your room, you can help draw more money and abundance into your life.
But it’s not just about location – feng shui also takes into account materials, elements, and even colors. So to truly attract more money using this approach, you need to not only identify your money corner, but also properly prepare it. That means decluttering the area to make space for new opportunities. You’ll also want to display objects there that contain elements known to attract money. It’s about both where you put things and what kinds of things you put there.
The southeast money corner is just one part of the overall feng shui picture. But taking the time to consciously arrange and decorate that area could potentially help improve your financial flow and prosperity.
How To Locate It

Locating the money corner in your home is an integral part of applying feng shui principles to attract wealth and prosperity. The money corner is the southeast section of any room. To find your money corner, you’ll first need to figure out which direction is southeast.
The easiest way is to use a compass or compass app on your phone. Simply point the compass north and follow it as it rotates clockwise. When the compass reads 90 degrees from north, you’ll be facing east. Continue rotating another 90 degrees, and you’ll be facing southeast. This is your money corner.
Now that you know where southeast is pointing, it’s time to find that corner of your home. The first step is to use a compass if you have one available. Be sure to hold it level and let the needle settle before reading the direction. Once you have southeast marked, go room by room in your home and locate that corner. Make a mental note of where it is located.
If a compass isn’t an option, then pull up your home on Google Maps. Get a good view of it from above so you can see the overall layout. Note which way the front entrance is facing. Then count two walls over from that front wall and one wall down – that intersection will likely be your money corner. You can also use the cardinal directions Google Maps provides to double check southeast.
Once you’ve located your money corner, take steps to activate it.
How To Activate The Money Energy
It’s time we get our southeast corner activated and working its magic!
First things first, we need to clean this corner – literally! Go ahead and clear out anything that doesn’t serve your financial goals. Sweep away any cobwebs, dust bunnies, old paperwork, or cables cluttering up the space. While you’re at it, give the area a nice wipe down to remove any lingering dirt or grime. We want that energy to flow freely!
According to feng shui, certain elements are especially powerful for prosperity. Wood and water are big ones. Wood symbolizes stability and growth, just what we need to take root financially. And water, of course, represents constant replenishment – the never-ending flow of money we’re aiming for!
With the corner all spruced up, it’s decorating time. Place a nice wooden bowl in the center and drop in some real coins, nothing too old and tarnished. For a larger space, you can’t go wrong with a lively aquarium, fountain, or potted lucky bamboo. Make sure to choose plants with sturdy green stems. And no fake/artificial plants – they just won’t channel the same beneficial energy.

Fun Story About The Wealth Corner
A while back, around 8-9 years ago, I had a conversation with a lady in my neighborhood. She told me about an interesting money ritual – take a piece of wood and place some coins on it, then put it in a specific corner of your home. I decided it was worth a try. At first, I didn’t notice any real difference, but over time I felt like my financial situation was improving. Things just seemed to be flowing better for me money-wise.
She also shared with me another story. Apparently, she had recommended this ritual to another woman who was doing very well with her online business. But then, this woman had to go to the hospital for a short time. Amazingly, even from her hospital bed she was still able to work on her business. However, after a few days there, she suddenly stopped getting any new orders – the money just dried up. Then, when she returned home from the hospital, she discovered what had happened. While she was away, her daughter had done some cleaning and had moved the wooden bowl of coins from the designated “money corner” out to the kitchen.
The key lesson from these stories is that once you establish your “money corner”, you want to keep the item you’ve placed there to represent it in that spot. Or if you do need to move it for cleaning or whatever reason, be sure to put it right back. Apparently, for the businesswoman, as soon as the bowl was returned to its proper place, the money started flowing in again. Hearing these tales sold me on how impactful feng shui practices can be when it comes to your financial situation. Of course, you’ll still need to clean the area sometimes, so I’d say go ahead and take the item out while cleaning, but be certain to replace it once you’re finished.
Kua Numbers
Before wrapping up, let me mention kua numbers. In Feng Shui, kua numbers are an important part of determining your lucky directions and enhancing luck in different life areas.
To get your kua number, first note your gender and birthdate. For males, add the last two digits of your birth year, then subtract that from 10. For females, add 5 to the last two digits of your birth year, then subtract from 9.
Once you have your kua number, you can see your auspicious directions. For example, if you have a kua number 4, southeast is lucky. With kua number 2, northeast is fortunate.
Your lucky direction can help you, but the southeast is still considered the best direction for money and prosperity. Even if your lucky direction is northwest, focusing on the southeast can help attract more wealth.
Interesting fact: When you go to a nail salon or restaurant run by Asians, you’ll notice a lot of flowers and fish tanks. They do this because many Asians believe in the power of Feng Shui. Places will arrange things in a certain way, according to Feng Shui, to bring in more customers and make more sales.
Key Takeaways
- Go ahead and declutter that area, and remove any dust or dirt.
- Place some items there that represent wood, water, and coins to attract wealth. Some common things people use are plants, a small fountain, or some spare change.
- Be sure to keep that money corner neat and tidy. It’s also important not to move things around too much in that spot. According to Feng Shui, shifting objects can disrupt the positive money flow you’re going for.
Hope this helps give your fortune corner a boost! Let me know if you have any other questions here 🙂
