Feng Shui Money Secrets to Attract Wealth

Have you ever felt like you work hard, but someone else gets the raise or a bigger bonus? Or maybe your business has been stagnant for a while, and you’re ready for fresh opportunities or that dream client. Or perhaps you just want better luck, more ease, and less stress when it comes to money.

In this article we will uncover Feng Shui Money Secrets —we’ll focus on how to attract wealth and opportunities by activating the right energy in your environment.

Feng Shui Money Energy

In Feng Shui, money is viewed as a form of energy—specifically, a rising, expanding energy. Just like a plant reaching toward the sun or the morning sun rising in the southeast, we want wealth to flow in and grow.

Two key elements in Feng Shui represent prosperity:

• Wood, symbolizing growth and upward movement.
• Water, which nourishes Wood and helps it thrive.

Together, they form the foundation of wealth-building energy in your space.

Now let’s explore the specific areas of your home that influence your financial flow—and how to activate them.

1. Start Outside: The Path to Wealth Begins at Your Front Yard

The front of your home and the approach to your front door sets the tone for how easily money and opportunities can enter your life.

If you live in a house:

• Make sure your front yard is welcoming, open, and well-maintained.
• Trim overgrown shrubs and trees that may be blocking your main entrance.

A client of mine had entrances completely hidden by overgrown greenery. After clearing and beautifying the area, her business took off so quickly she had to hire an assistant. That’s the power of opening energetic pathways.

A curving or meandering path is better than a straight one. It slows energy down, allowing it to accumulate before entering your home. Fast-moving energy (like from a straight path) can feel harsh and unstable.

For those who reside in apartments, next time you rent an apartment:

• Choose a building with a bright, open foyer and a pleasant well-lit hallway. This is equivalent to approach to the house.
• Make sure your own doorway and entrance area feel clear, bright, and welcoming. Make sure nothing prevents the door to your apartment to open freely. Do not worry too much if you can’t control the outside. Most of the work for you will be done inside your own space.

2. Elevate Your Southeast Landscape

The southeast direction is the traditional Feng Shui wealth sector. If your land is higher in the southeast, you’re in luck—but even if you don’t, you can simulate the energy.

• Plant a tall tree in the southeast area to create strong rising energy supporting rising wealth.
• A water feature is an excellent enhancement, since water nourishes the Wood element.
• Clean up any neglected or deteriorating structures in this area.

One of my clients had an old, large, neglected tree in their southeast sector. They invested in some tree care service, and it became a powerful symbol of abundance. Soon after, she sold five paintings at her first ever art exhibit, and her husband got a promotion. Coincidence? I don’t think so.

3. Make Your Front Door a Magnet for Opportunities

In Feng Shui, the front door is known as the “mouth of chi”—the main entry point for energy into your home.

To optimize it:

• Keep it clean and in good repair.
• Make sure it opens easily and fully (no squeaking or blocked movement).
• Add lighting on both sides of the door for balance and uplift.
• Choose an appealing doormat and consider using wealth-related colors like green, blue, or purple.

A door doesn’t have to be red to be auspicious—what matters is that it feels special and stands out visually. A beautiful wood door with glass accents is great. You can also uplift the space with a seasonal wreath, upward-growing plants, or gold accents.

4. Brighten Your Entryway (Ming Tang)

The space just inside your front door is called the Ming Tang, or “Bright Hall.” This is where energy enters and distributes through the rest of your home. It should feel open, inviting, and joyful.

If your entryway is cluttered or closed-off, it creates energetic congestion. I once worked with a client who felt an “angry spirit” every time she entered her home. The real issue? A crowded, sharp-edged shelf right at the entrance and a couch blocking the entrance. Once we re-arranged the space to allow energy to flow, the negativity lifted.

Tips for a high-vibration entryway:

• Create a good closet system and avoid clutter.
• Avoid furniture with sharp edges pointed toward the door.
• Place mirrors on the side wall (not directly opposite the door).
• Use uplifting art, plants with rounded leaves, and interesting lighting to create warmth and welcoming feeling.

5. The Kitchen: Hearth of Prosperity

Your kitchen symbolizes nourishment, abundance, and wealth. In particular, your stove is key—it represents the Fire element, which fuels financial energy.

To enhance it:

• Keep your stove clean and all burners working.
• Add red accents (like towels or utensil holders) and wooden utensils and cutting boards.
• Keep the space cheerful and warm.

It doesn’t have to be a big makeover—just a few intentional touches can go a long way.

6. The Southeast Room: Your Home’s Money Corner

You’ve probably heard of the “money corner.” In Feng Shui, it’s the southeast room or sector of your home. Apply the same principles: remove clutter, open up space, and elevate the energy.

Here are some ideas to activate wealth energy in this area:

• Add a healthy plant with rounded leaves (Wood element).
• Hang a piece of art that symbolizes your wealth dream.
• Use colors like green, turquoise, or purple.
• 
• Introduce gold accents.
• Add a crystal or glass chandelier.
• Hang a crystal in the window.

It’s not a mechanical check-list. The idea is to create a space that feels aligned with your vision and feeling of prosperity.

When it comes to money, subtle shifts in energy can create big results over time.

Walk through your home with fresh eyes. Where can you let energy flow more freely? What can you do to lift the vibration in your space?

Let your home support your wealth. Let your space reflect your dreams.
