The use of the feng shui money frog has deep symbolic roots. It is a mythological creature with three legs that is said to attract wealth and abundance. This is why you can often find a money frog in Chinese establishments. A money frog can be placed in more than one location and position, but there are a few general rules for where and how to place it in order to enjoy the benefits of this spiritual symbol.
Lore of the Money Frog
The money frog also called the three-legged toad or money toad comes from Chinese folklore. According to the legend, a wife of one of the eight immortals stole the elixir of immortality and drank it, turning her into a toad. Instead of two hind legs, the toad has the tail of the tadpole. Frogs and toads are associated with water, which is symbolic of wealth. It is common for a money frog to have a coin in its mouth, as an offering for the owner or the household where the frog resides.
If you come from Chinese culture, or if you have a strong belief in the symbol of the money frog, it can be a powerful feng shui money cure for you. However, if you have no energetic or emotional connection to this specific symbol , it will have little effect on your feng shui efforts.
Placing a Money Frog
T raditionally, the money frog is placed in a home's feng shui money area or wealth position. This is usually the corner of the home that is diagonally opposite the entry door and is known as the primary wealth position. The corner opposite (straight across from) the primary wealth position is the secondary wealth position.
In addition to placing a money frog in the money area, you can also place a second money frog close to the front door. In this case, it's important to position the frog so that it looks inside the house rather than facing out through the entrance. You can also place a money frog so that it faces your Money and Success feng shui direction .
Where Not to Place a Money Frog
Always position your feng shui money frog in a respectful way, so it is best not to place your money frog directly on the floor, but rather on a raised surface, such as a cabinet. The cabinet (or other surface) should be placed against a wall for backing support. It should not be in the middle of a room, under a window, or in a hallway or traffic area. Also, it is best not to place a feng shui money frog in your bedroom or in your bathroom .
Tips for Attracting Money
Feng shui is all about creating good energy. If you want to attract more money, create an abundant, prosperous, money-like energy in your home; this will help attract a stronger energy of money and abundance into your life. It is important to understand that you must create good feng shui energy throughout your home, not just in specific areas like the money area. Start by defining your bagua map and strengthening your feng shui money area , then look into placing your money feng shui frog for best results.
A revelation. I was reading ROI's article about animals and bugs that find their way into his garden, and posted a comment that on the 15th floor of a building I have no such thing, and thankfully, no flies or mosquitoes. Then it hit me. Wait a sec! I have a brass frog that I obtained about 11 years ago that I display in our home that I always understood is lucky and one should rub its nose from time to time. So I looked up in bing search about Chinese lucky frogs, and this article is what I found. I never had paid attention that my frog is surrounded by ancient Chinese coins, and so it IS the Chinese lucky money frog. It sits on our shrine to Boddhisatva GuanYin (Buddhist Goddess of Mercy) and I have now put a Canadian dime in its mouth hoping that the lottery tickets my daughter in Toronto buys for me every month will now win and rain a fortune upon me. LOL I just took these two photos of my brass lucky Chinese money frog. I'll rub its nose every time I go past it now.
Well I know there's at least ONE NT member who is interested in Feng Shui.. Hopefully, at least I'll hear from him.

Maybe, maybe not. I'd say that there's a good chance that he/she won't reply!

Well, I don't know much about Feng Shui, but I can tell you this-- that is correct-- in part.
Why?
Because there are two corners diagonally opposite the front door-- diagonally to the left and diagonally to the right. The money corner is the one diagonally to the left.
P.S: FWIW, the one diagonally to the right is the "Relationship Corner.".
P.S. #2. Feng Shui cannot be understood by using your conscious mind (AKA "The Left Brain"). You can't get there from here...
Its similar to Astrology (which also makes no sense rationally). To "grok" both you have to use your so-called "Right Brain". In the west that's not politically correct (But in Asia it is).
P.S. #3: Feng Shui works!
LOL. You know damn well you were the one I was talking about.
The crystals didn't help me from going bankrupt in Canada, so I hope Feng Shui will help me in China.
Feng Shui will not help if certain other consitions aren't met. Especially what you are telling your subconscious mind. (In other words its useful to know how to do that).
Are you telling me that:
"You're The One I want"?
Aren't the words of the song "You're the one THAT I want"? (You, hoo hoo)
Hopefully they are all having fun .....
Are you telling me that:
"You're The One I want"?

And on Tudou, so I can see it:
I believe the YouTube version I posted was from the original movie (Grease). The two main actors were John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. The Toudou version has different actors (I don't know who they are).
Nor do I. There is a Travolta version on Tudou as well, but it wouldn't open.
That's probably because he's a Scientologist.
LOL
Asn is Tom Cruise.
