Five Ghosts Carry Wealth in Feng Shui Explained

Five Ghosts Carry Wealth, Feng Shui Formula

In Feng Shui, there are lots of methods can help bring in wealth to a family. There are methods such as, activate the wealth corner(s), activate the current period Qi, activate the annual wealth stars and there is a unique genuine Feng Shui method called “Five Ghosts Carry Wealth”. If implement correctly, the “Five Ghosts Carry Wealth” can bring strong impact, and bring in a lot of wealth. However, some houses may not be able to apply due to certain requirements.

The name “Five Ghosts Carry Wealth” sounds a bit scary. However those are friendly ghosts. If this Feng Shui method applies correctly, these five friendly ghosts will keep carrying the money to your home. They only keep carrying wealth to your family. They will not do any other harm to your family. The drawback is that the “Five Ghosts Carry Wealth” formula may not be applied to every single home, as it needs certain conditions and requirements.

I mentioned above there is unique and genuine formula.

Someone may ask are there fake “Five Ghosts Carry Wealth” formulas?

Yes, for sure from my understanding, there are a few modern inventions which do not follow the classical Feng Shui Text. So do not apply these methods. These are incorrect methods. Keep reading, I will show you the genuine formula of “Five Ghosts Carry Wealth”.

1. Do not apply the Gan Gua as the “Five Ghosts Carry Wealth”

In the later Heaven Bagua, the Gen Gua, (22.5 – 67.5 deg) is called the ghost gate (艮為鬼門). If someone telling you to open a door at the Gen Gua sector to activate the “Five Ghosts Carry Wealth”, do not believe them. This method has no classic Feng Shui Text back up.

2. Do not apply the Five Ghost from the Eight Mansion Formula

In the Eight Mansion (八宅) theory, based on the sitting of the house, one of the Gua sector is called “Five Ghosts” or廉lián. For example, Li house (sitting South), the “Five Ghosts” sector is at Dui Gua(west sector) or Zhen House (Sitting East), the “Five Ghost” sector is at Qian Gua sector (northwest).
The “Five ghosts” sectors calculated from the Eight Mansion formula are not the friendly ghosts who are carrying wealth to you. Instead, if the doorway is located or you open a doorway at the “Five Ghosts” sector, it will bring in a lot of misfortune and obstacles. The Five Ghosts Carry Wealth method uses  the 8 Mansion formula differently and It MUST obey the principals of the SYYG San Yuan Yuan Gua Feng Shui System.

3. Do not apply any methods involve an altar or statues or burning joss sticks

Some unconventional so called “Feng Shui” Sifu, Masters who use black magic or Shamanism to invite spirits to carry the wealth for you. In my opinion, don’t believe them, as Feng Shui only examines the distribution of Qi. It does not involve religious, Gods, Buddha or any other spirits.

If you come across such “Masters”, they using some kind of ceremonies, burning talisman, burning joss sticks, using statues or so on, do not trust them, as this is not traditional Feng Shui methods. Traditional classical Feng Shui is all about the Qi or Chi distribution.

The “Five Ghosts carry Wealth” also utilises the Qi distribution. Even though its name has the word “ghost” in it, it does not involve any spirits.

The following is the classical method formula of the “Five Ghosts carry Wealth”

The Classical Method of the “Five Ghosts carry Wealth” using the Earth Mother Gua and Water Drgaon Gua.

In Feng Shui Qi distribution formulas, one of its methods calls (Fān guà) “翻卦” (Turning the Gua). Some books may call it “Nine Stars Fān guà” (九星翻卦), Earth Mother Gua (地母卦). San He Luópán (compass) has this formula on it.

The nine stars are: 貪Tān, 巨jù, 祿lù, 文wén, 廉lián, 武wǔ, 破pò, 輔fǔ, 弼bì. The order is also for the Mountain Dragon Fān guà”. (The廉lián is called the Five Ghosts)

The Water Dragon Fān guà “翻卦” uses different order:武wǔ, 破pò, 廉lián, 貪Tān, 巨jù, 祿lù, 文wén, 輔fǔ, 弼bì.

There are Water Dragon and Mountain Dragon Fān guà formulas.

The Water Dragon Fān guà uses the facing of the house to identify the Gua. Use this Gua to start the process of Fān guà” and is for incoming and outgoing water audit. Water relates to Wealth.
The Mountain Dragon Fān guà uses the Sitting of the house or the incoming Mountain Dragon to identify the Gwa. Use this Gua to start the process of Fān guà” and is for the mountains or tall objects audit. Mountain relates to Health.

Once both the Mountain (sitting) and Water (facing) Guas have been identified, starting the Fān guà.

FIve Ghosts Carry Wealth The requirements are:

The Mountain Dragon: The廉lián Five Ghosts located in the facing after Fān guà. .
The Water Dragon: The巨jù located in the incoming water Fān guà.

Five Ghosts carry wealth Mountain and Water formulas

So the 廉lián, (the Five Ghosts) carries the巨jù water (wealth) in to the house. This is the classical methods of “Five Ghosts carry Wealth”.

For example: a house is sitting Bing (S1) facing Ren (N1).

After the mountain Dragon (Fān guà) “翻卦”, the廉lián, the Five Ghosts is at the facing Ren.
After the Water Dragon (Fān guà) “翻卦”, the巨jù is at the Gui.

So if there is water coming from the Gui direction and there is a door located at the Gui area, this house has got the Five Ghosts carrying wealth Feng Shui configuration.

The Water Dragon (Fān guà) “翻卦” and the Mountain Dragon (Fān guà) “翻卦” steps are not mentioned here. It is because those steps are complicated. It cannot be described in a few sentences. And if the formula applied incorrectly, it brings very bad results. So I don’t suggest you implement this formula yourself. I highly recommend you contact a Feng shui consultant in your local area to help you with this formula.
