Things to note:
1. The god’s seat cannot be facing inward or opposite to the direction of the house.
2. The height of the God of Wealth is generally slightly the same as the head of the household, and should not be too low, as long as it cannot overlook the top of the God of Wealth.
3. Avoid shooting at sharp corners, and do not hit pillars, wall corners, house corners, water towers, telephone poles, toilets, dining tables, kitchens, and bedrooms. Among them, the Wen God of Wealth is not allowed to go to the door of the house, while the Wu Wealth God is not allowed to go to the door of the house. Because Wu Wealth God can not only attract wealth into the home, but also guard the door.
4. It is best to have an open space in front of the shrine. Do not place stereos, TVs, medicines, books, sundries, mirrors, trash cans, water-related fish tanks and other items, because in Feng Shui, water is It governs wealth, and when wealth meets water, it turns into water.
5. The sacred place should not be placed under the beam. There should be a solid wall behind it, which symbolizes that there is a mountain to lean on, no worries, and that it can hide the wind and gather energy. On the contrary, if there is a balcony or glass window behind the financial position, it will be difficult to accumulate wealth because the wealth will be vented.
6. The sacred place should not be contaminated with dust and should be wiped frequently.
7. The statues of gods should not be damaged or dimly lit. If the statue of the god is damaged, there is a risk of losing money; if the financial status is dim, it will lead to depression and stagnation of wealth, which needs to be solved by lighting an everlasting lamp.
8. Do not engage in immoral or impolite behavior in front of statues of gods and Buddhas.
9. Don’t seek impure and ill-gotten wealth.
Process:
The first step is to invite the God of Wealth
The God of Wealth can be divided into the Wen God of Wealth and the Wu God of Wealth. There are seven Gods of Wealth in total.
There are five literary gods of wealth, namely: Bigan (Ji merchants), Guan Zhong (Hui merchants), Duanmuci (Confucian merchants), Fan Li (Zhejiang merchants), and Bai Gui (Shanxi merchants).
Those who seek wealth through literature and have legitimate professions, such as hotels, restaurants, bookstores, hostels, newspapers, etc., can ask the God of Wealth and Wealth.
There are two Wu Caishen, namely: Zhao Gongming and Guan Yu.
Those who use force to seek wealth, partial wealth, and speculative and improper occupations, such as KTV, foot baths, dance halls, gambling, etc., can ask the God of Wealth.
Among the seven gods of wealth, Zhao Gongming, the god of martial wealth, is the most powerful, and he is both civil and military. If you have trouble choosing which God of Wealth to invite, it is recommended to invite Zhao Gongming.
The second step is to choose the material of the God of Wealth
The God of Wealth statues are made of copper, ceramics, wood carvings, resin and other materials.
What kind of material should be chosen for the God of Wealth depends on each person’s horoscope. For example, if a person's horoscope uses the god as gold, he would like to invite the copper god of wealth.
If the gods of the eight characters are water and fire, because water and fire are not substantial materials, if the gods are water, you can ask Zhao Gongming. Because Zhao Gongming has a black face and a thick beard, rides a black tiger, holds a silver whip in one hand and a gold ingot in the other, and is fully dressed in military uniform. Therefore, Zhao Gongming belongs to water.
Those who use gods as fire can ask Guan Yunchang. Because Guan Yunchang's body is nine feet long and his beard is two feet long. His face is like a heavy jujube, and his lips are as if they are greased. His eyes are red and phoenix, and his eyebrows are lying on silkworms. His appearance is dignified and majestic. Therefore, Guan Yunchang belongs to fire.
The third step is to check the position of the God of Wealth
First of all, please note that the position of the God of Wealth at home is not the same as the position of the God of Wealth in the passing years!
There are three situations where the God of Wealth is placed at home:
1. The door is in the diagonal position of the God of Wealth
This situation is common in normally opened shops and homes. Invite the God of Wealth.
2. The horoscope uses the God of Wealth
This situation is not common. It is generally used for people who are in trouble, are in bankruptcy, have no livelihood, and are in urgent need of capital turnover to ask the God of Wealth.
3. The mountain of the house faces the God of Wealth
This situation is common when inviting the God of Wealth at home. This method is based on the Purple and White Flying Star of the Eight Houses, which is the recipe for prosperity. The details are as follows:
Kanzhai (sitting north to south), the financial position is in the south (C, Wu) direction.
Li Zhai (sitting south to north), the financial position is in the north (Zi, Ren) direction.
Zhenzhai (sitting east to west), the financial position is in the southeast (Chen, Xun).
Dui Zhai (sitting west to east), the financial position is in the northeast (Chou, Gen) direction.
Xunzhai (southeast to northwest), the financial position is in the east (Mao, A).
Qianzhai (sitting northwest facing southeast), the financial position is in the southwest (Kun, Wei) direction.
Kunzhai (southwest facing northeast), the financial position is in the northwest (Qian, Xu).
Genzhai (sitting northeast facing southwest), the financial position is in the west (Dui, Geng).
The fourth step is how to choose a day for the consecration of the God of Wealth
First, choose a day for the consecration
In the two seasons of spring and autumn, it is advisable to be cautious about the four constellations of the four constellations. Taiyin is auspicious; in the two seasons of summer and winter, it is auspicious for the sun to be on duty with the four constellations of stars in the room.
It is also suitable for Tiande, Yuede, Tianen, Fusheng, Zodiac, Jian, Chu, Man, Kai and Chengri.
Be careful not to choose the time of Fu Duan, Heaven Thief, Zheng Si Waste, Heaven and Earth Void, Liu Ren Void, and avoid the time of Xun Zhong Void and Cut Road Void.
Second, choose a specific date
In order to take care of most readers who don’t know how to choose a date, I have checked for everyone the good days for the consecration of Guang An Shen in the next month, namely: June 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 12th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 18th, 19th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 26th, 27th, 28th.
These are auspicious dates for the consecration and Anshen position, and you need to pay attention not to conflict with the zodiac sign of the company's senior management or family members, especially the boss or the head of the household.
Step 5: How to receive the God of Wealth
To invite the God of Wealth to your home, you should choose an auspicious day and a good time in the morning to calm the God down.
On the way to pick up the God of Wealth, do not talk or laugh with passers-by.
To stabilize the bottom of the God of Wealth, the God of Wealth and the person asking for the God should face the same direction and cannot face each other.
Attention, it is strictly forbidden to hold the head of the God of Wealth!
After the God of Wealth arrives home, he must first set off fireworks and firecrackers, then place a piece of red paper on the statue of the God of Wealth as a security guard, and burn three sticks of incense to ward off evil spirits from all directions.
Sacrifice can be divided into two specifications:
The common specifications are cow head, sheep head and pig head.
The high-standard items include five types of pigs, sheep, chickens, geese, and carps. They are: one pig head and one sheep head. The chickens, geese, and carp must be in pairs, and there are five wine glasses to indicate the "five" It means "the God of Wealth".
The sixth step is how to make offerings to the God of Wealth
The God of Wealth has arrived home. Tea, fruits and flowers must be offered in front of the God, and three sticks of incense must be burned in the morning and evening.
When encountering major festivals, such as the Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, the first and fifteenth day of each month, etc., try to keep the incense going.
Because the God of Wealth is a Taoist deity, he does not taboo meat dishes, so on major festivals, it is best to use meat dishes. As for the daily offerings, there is no taboo on meat and vegetables, as long as they are fresh.
Note that if you have a major financial project to make a wish to the God of Wealth, you should try to keep the incense burning. After your wish is fulfilled, you must burn the incense to fulfill your wish.
Step 7: Taboos of the God of Wealth
1. The God’s seat cannot be turned inward or opposite to the direction of the house.
2. The height of the God of Wealth is generally slightly the same as the head of the household, and should not be too low, as long as the head of the God of Wealth cannot be overlooked.
3. Avoid shooting at sharp corners, and do not hit pillars, wall corners, house corners, water towers, telephone poles, toilets, dining tables, kitchens, and bedrooms. Among them, the Wen God of Wealth is not allowed to go to the door of the house, while the Wu Wealth God is not allowed to go to the door of the house. Because Wu Wealth God can not only attract wealth into the home, but also guard the door.
4. It is best to have an open space in front of the shrine. Do not place stereos, TVs, medicines, books, sundries, mirrors, trash cans, water-related fish tanks and other items, because in Feng Shui, water is It governs wealth, and when wealth meets water, it turns into water.
5. The sacred place should not be placed under the beam. There should be a solid wall behind it, which symbolizes that there is a mountain to lean on, no worries, and that it can hide the wind and gather energy. On the contrary, if there is a balcony or glass window behind the financial position, it will be difficult to accumulate wealth because the wealth will be vented.
6. The sacred place should not be contaminated with dust and should be wiped frequently.
7. The statues of gods should not be damaged or dimly lit. If the statue of the god is damaged, there is a risk of losing money; if the financial status is dim, it will lead to depression and stagnation of wealth, which needs to be solved by lighting an everlasting lamp.
8. Do not engage in immoral or impolite behavior in front of statues of gods and Buddhas.
