Wealth God Facing the Office Chair

Whether it is appropriate for the Wealth God to face the office chair needs to be discussed on a case-by-case basis and should follow certain Feng Shui principles.

The situation of the Martial Wealth God facing the office chair

Regarding the Martial Wealth God, there are two different viewpoints. One viewpoint holds that the Martial Wealth God is merely a painting or a statue, and it is perfectly fine to place office desks and chairs in front of it. Another view states that there should be nothing blocking the line of sight in front of the Martial Wealth God; otherwise, it may affect the flow of wealth. Therefore, from the perspective of avoiding an impact on the flow of wealth, it is advisable not to have office chairs or other items obstruct the view of the Martial Wealth God.

General Feng Shui principles for placing items in front of the Wealth God

• Office desk shape: If office desks and chairs are placed in front of the Wealth God, avoid having sharp edges on the office desk. According to Feng Shui, sharp-cornered projections can disperse wealth. It is better to design the office desk in a circular or oval shape to reduce the negative impact on financial luck.
• Avoid the presence of water: The area where the Wealth God is placed should avoid the presence of water, such as fish tanks or hydroponic plants. In Feng Shui beliefs, water represents flow and change, and the phrase 'seeing wealth turn into water' implies the loss of financial luck. Therefore, such situations should be prevented.
• Maintain brightness: The surroundings of the Wealth God should be kept bright and avoid dimness. A bright environment symbolizes a positive and vigorous aura in Feng Shui, which is conducive to attracting and gathering wealth. In contrast, dimness may bring a sense of oppression and decline, which is unfavorable for financial luck.
• Avoid heavy furniture: Avoid placing heavy furniture on the wealth spot, such as large wardrobes or bookcases. Heavy objects pressing on the wealth spot are believed in Feng Shui to damage financial luck and hinder the smooth flow of wealth.
• Avoid contamination: The wealth spot should avoid contamination, such as being near toilets, bathrooms, or areas where miscellaneous items are stored. These places are usually regarded as unclean and can tarnish the wealth spot, affecting financial luck.
• Have support at the back: The wealth spot should have a solid wall at the back, symbolizing having a reliable backer. In Feng Shui concepts, having a backer means having a stable support in terms of career and financial luck, which can enhance the stability of financial luck.
