candle placement for more money

If you have an area of your life that you’d like to activate for a specific purpose, it can be helpful to set an intention along with placing your candle. Here’s how to do it!

Write an intention on a small slip of paper.

For example, if you want to feel more love and romance with your partner, write it on a small piece of paper (in red pen if you have one!) “My partner and I love each other and are closer and closer every day.” Or whatever your specific intention is.

Place your candle in the area of your home that corresponds with the area of your intention.

Place the slip of paper under your candle.

Light your candle, repeating your intention to yourself.

Affirm that the Universe is bringing you what you want! Take a few deep breaths, seeing the candle absorbing and then releasing that energy throughout your life. It is done!

You can keep the candle lit for a few hours or blow it out right away, it’s up to you.

The intention will work even while the candle isn’t lit!

For extra power, you can light your candle every day for the next 9 days (9 is the number of completion in feng shui!)

Candles and the Five Elements

In feng shui, the five elements represent the life cycle of energy and how it’s either created or destroyed.

Balancing the elements in your home means the energy moves freely and feels great as it circulates throughout your home.

When it comes to candles and the five elements, obviously placing too many candles in one area of your home can lead to that area having a lot of fire energy.

The fire element is responsible for moving energy, but too much of the fire element can make energy move too quickly.

This leads to frantic, chaotic energy that has a tendency to burn through anything in its wake.

Too much of the fire element in your love corner, for example, can cause arguments with your romantic partner, or even cause the flame to burn out.

Too much of the fire element in your home’s wealth corner can cause you to burn through your finances and feel like there’s never enough money to sustain your lifestyle.

If you own a lot of candles (like I do!) it’s better to spread them out throughout your home, because even unlit candles carry fire energy!

Alternatively, you can keep them in your home’s fame and reputation area, but keep an eye on what happens in your life. If you find that things in that area of your life are moving too quickly, move some of the candles out of that area to slow it down a bit.

Another way to balance the five elements with candles is to create a Feng Shui Candle 5 Elements Cure.

You can do this with color, by using candle colors that represent the different elements all at once.

You can also do this with the elements themselves.

For example, you can use white floating candles (metal and fire) in a bowl or dish of water, next to a potted plant (earth and wood).

Or you can place your lit candle next to an indoor water feature or aquarium that also contains pebbles or water-safe crystals.

This can balance the elements and mitigate some of the fire energy.

But you don’t have to go too crazy with this every room contains a mix of the five elements, so placing candles around your home won’t usually cause the elements to get too out of balance.

Feng Shui Candles and Number Meanings

Of course, the number of candles you have lit at any given time can also have meaning in feng shui!

You can light a specific number of candles to help solidify your intentions and bring that energy into your home.

The feng shui number meanings of candles are:

1 feng shui candle means: new beginnings and infinite potential
2 feng shui candles mean: balance, partnership, and love relationships
3 feng shui candles mean: family, growth, and creation
4 feng shui candles mean: stability and foundation
5 feng shui candles mean: adventure, freedom, and the five elements
6 feng shui candles mean: calm, nurturing, ability to share wealth with others
7 feng shui candles mean: solitude and personal growth
8 feng shui candles mean: abundance, infinity, the most auspicious number in feng shui
9 feng shui candles mean: completion, accomplishment, and the pinnacle of success

If you’d like to attract a new romantic partner, for example, using 2 candles (pink or red are best!) can increase romantic luck.

If you’d like to attract a new job, you can light one candle in your home’s entryway or career area. Or you can also place one on your desk or in your office career area.

We touched on this a little bit above, with the different candle colors and the areas of the bagua. But of course, the feng shui candle color meanings expand beyond the bagua map.

Here are a few basic feng shui candle color meanings:

Red Candles: passion, love, romance, fire, activation, action, strength

9 Red Candles Feng Shui Cure

Combining the feng shui candle color meanings with the feng shui number meanings can create an extremely powerful feng shui cure!

You can create your own feng shui candle cure using the meanings above, or you can use the 9 red candles feng shui cure to attract good fortune in any area you wish!

The feng shui 9 red candles cure is very simple.

You can use any type of red candle you’d like, whether it’s a red votive candle holder, red tea light candles, or other red candles you already have.

Set your intention for whatever it is you’d like to manifest into your life.

Write it on a slip of paper and place it under one of the red candles.

Place the 9 feng shui candles in the area of your home that corresponds with your intention.

If you’d like more money, for example, place the candles in your home’s wealth area. If you’d like a new job, you can place them in your home’s career area or near your front door. If you’d like good fortune or new beginnings, place them near your front door.

Light the candles for a few minutes every day for the next 27 days (2+7=9, the number for completion!)

When you light the candles, give thanks to the Universe for bringing you what you want. Take a few deep breaths, feeling the feelings of gratitude and excitement! It is done!
