Feng Shui Wealth Self-Test: Assess Your Money Luck and Prosperity Energy

1. How This Self-Test Works

This comprehensive assessment covers three major dimensions of your wealth energy — home Feng Shui, office Feng Shui, and personal habits — with 30 checkpoints in total. Answer each item honestly based on your actual situation, then add up your total score at the end.

Cultural Context: In Feng Shui practice, your living and working environments act as energetic channels for Qi (气). Small imbalances — a cluttered entryway, a leaky faucet, or a poorly positioned desk — can quietly drain your financial luck over time. Regular self-assessment helps you catch these issues early and realign your space with prosperity energy.

Scoring Rules

Score	Meaning
+5	Fully meets ideal conditions
+3	Generally meets conditions
0	Uncertain or partially meets conditions
-5	Does not meet conditions at all

2. Home Feng Shui Self-Test (15 Items)

Main Door and Entryway

#	Checkpoint	+5	+3	0	-5
1	Main door faces an auspicious direction (aligned with your Life Gua)
2	No Sha Qi outside the main door (Road Rushing Sha, Sharp Corner Sha, etc.)	None	Minor	Moderate	Severe
3	Main door is clean and well-lit
4	Entryway is clear, with no clutter

Living Room and Wealth Position

#	Checkpoint	+5	+3	0	-5
5	Bright Wealth Position (Ming Cai Wei) is tidy and well-lit
6	Wealth-enhancing items present in the wealth position
7	No window causing Wealth Leakage in the wealth position	No window	Has curtain	Average	Window, no curtain
8	Living room is bright and well-ventilated
9	Front and back doors do not align directly (no Piercing Hall Sha)	None	Has screen	Average	Directly aligned

Bedroom and Kitchen

#	Checkpoint	+5	+3	0	-5
10	Bed has a solid wall as Backing Mountain behind the headboard
11	Bed does not directly face the door or a mirror
12	Stove is positioned in an auspicious direction
13	Kitchen and bathroom are not adjacent to each other
14	Faucet is fully functional with no leaks
15	Home has living green plants

How to Apply This at Home

1. Audit your Bright Wealth Position (明财位, ming cai wei): Stand at your main entrance facing inward. The Bright Wealth Position is at the 45-degree diagonal corner on the longer wall — check if it's clean, bright, and free of clutter
2. Inspect for Form Sha: Walk outside your home and look for Road Rushing Sha (direct roads pointing at your door), Sharp Corner Sha (corner of a building aimed at your entrance), or Heaven Chopping Sha (narrow gaps between tall buildings)
3. Check the bedroom commanding position: Your bed should have a solid wall behind it, be visible to the door but not directly in line with it

Quick Tip: A single leaky faucet symbolizes Wealth Leakage (漏财, lou cai) in Feng Shui. Fix any drips within 24 hours — practitioners consider this one of the highest-impact, lowest-cost adjustments you can make.

3. Office Feng Shui Self-Test (10 Items)

Desk Layout

#	Checkpoint	+5	+3	0	-5
16	Seat has a Backing Mountain (solid wall behind you)
17	Left side of desk is higher than the right
18	Desk surface is clean and organized
19	Has a living green plant
20	Has wealth-enhancing items

Office Environment

#	Checkpoint	+5	+3	0	-5
21	Office is bright and well-ventilated
22	Not directly facing a bathroom or elevator	None	Has remedy	Average	Facing, no remedy
23	No overhead beam pressing down on the seat
24	Harmonious relationships with coworkers
25	Receiving help from beneficial people (noble benefactors)

How to Activate Office Wealth Energy

1. Establish your commanding position: Sit with a solid wall behind you and a clear view of the door — never sit with your back to the entrance
2. Set up your Dragon-Tiger balance (龙虎砂): The left (Dragon) side should be slightly taller or higher than the right (Tiger) side; this supports active wealth generation
3. Add a wealth anchor: Place a small Crystal (水晶) sphere or living plant in the corner diagonally opposite your entrance to activate your office wealth corner

Quick Tips:

• A small green plant on the left side of your desk brings growth energy and career advancement
• Never sit directly under an exposed ceiling beam — this creates Beam Pressure Sha (梁压煞) that blocks promotion opportunities
• Keep your desk's back-left corner clear; this is where "noble benefactor" energy gathers

4. Personal Habits Self-Test (5 Items)

#	Checkpoint	+5	+3	0	-5
26	Wallet is clean and in good condition
27	Regularly organizing financial records and possessions
28	Maintaining a positive mindset
29	Working diligently
30	Doing good deeds to build merit

Why Personal Habits Matter in Feng Shui

Feng Shui is not only about physical space — it also considers the "internal Feng Shui" of your daily habits, mindset, and actions. A perfectly aligned home cannot fully compensate for a torn, empty wallet or a chronically pessimistic outlook. Practitioners believe that wealth energy flows most freely to people who cultivate discipline, gratitude, and generosity.

Cultural Context: The principle of "Accumulating Virtue" (积德, jī dé) is deeply rooted in Chinese philosophy. Confucians, Buddhists, and Feng Shui masters alike teach that genuine, lasting prosperity comes from ethical living and helping others — not just from material accumulation.
