How do you find the wealth position? The differences between the bright wealth position, the dark wealth position, and the annual wealth position
KarmaSpace translation

Before looking for a wealth position, first ask which method the other person is using
Some people say the wealth position is the diagonal corner from the entrance, some first measure the sitting direction, and others list different directions each year. These statements are not necessarily answering the same question. If the method is not stated first, simply overlaying several diagrams can easily lead to the conclusion that "the whole house is a wealth position" or to contradictory conclusions.
The wealth position is a traditional feng shui term, not a financial indicator that can be measured with a single instrument. It can serve as a reference for cultural interest and spatial arrangement, but there is no reliable basis for guaranteeing that placing a certain object in a certain corner will increase income. Clarifying the terms first is more important than buying wealth-attracting products first.
Bright wealth position: the common diagonal-corner-from-the-entrance interpretation
Everyday home articles often call the diagonal corner opposite the living room entrance the bright wealth position. This is a popular entrance-based method, not a definition consistently adopted by all schools. With two entrances, an open kitchen, a winding corridor, or an irregular living room, where exactly the diagonal corner starts from may itself be understood differently.
Therefore, if the diagonal corner happens to be a passageway, do not place a cabinet there to block the way just to make it fit the wealth position. First check whether that spot allows normal passage, window access, and upkeep. Keeping a corner tidy can be a good household habit, but tidiness cannot in turn be treated as proof that the wealth position theory has been verified.
Dark wealth position: not a hidden corner that is the same for everyone
"Dark wealth position" is determined differently in different articles and services; some methods involve sitting direction, the dwelling hexagram, or other charting systems. If someone states an exact location based on a single photo, you should ask what information is required, which rules are being used, and whether the direction of the main door is being treated directly as the sitting direction of the whole house.
When information is insufficient, withholding judgment is more reasonable than forcing a direction. You can first prepare a floor plan and the locations of the entrance and main windows, then refer to the measurement record of the main door orientation. These only make the method checkable; they do not mean that wealth fortune can be verified once the measurements are done.
Annual wealth position: the annual chart and the fixed layout are different levels
The directions of the annual flying stars change with the annual chart used, and this is not the same concept as the diagonal corner from the entrance. When reading annual articles, confirm the year, the rules for the changeover, and the north orientation on the diagram; do not use last year's screenshot together with this year's furnishing checklist. Different schools may also interpret the stars and wealth fortune differently.
If you are interested in learning about the annual chart, you can first look at the 2027 annual flying stars, but do not understand the name of a particular star as an investment timing or an income forecast. Major spending, borrowing, or investment should be decided based on financial information and appropriate professional advice, and should not be replaced by a feng shui chart.
Once the location has been identified, the next step is not necessarily to buy things
First ask what the spot is currently used for: movement, work, rest, or storing miscellaneous items? If it originally needed ventilation or the cabinet is often opened, adding a large potted plant, fish tank, or tall cabinet may make things less convenient. Fish tanks in particular involve weight, power supply, leakage risk, and care responsibilities, and are not suitable to place just because of the saying "water is wealth."
If you only want to preserve traditional symbolic meaning, you can choose decorations that do not hinder use, that you like, and that you can afford, and clearly treat them as decorations. The order of checks suggested in this article is: confirm the method, verify the information, inspect the space, and decide whether changes are needed; it is not "once the wealth position is found, it must be activated."

常見問題
問Is the corner diagonally opposite the entrance always a wealth position?
This is one popular method for determining the bright wealth position, not a unified definition across all feng shui methods. Irregular layouts or multiple entrances especially require the method to be stated first, and passageways must not be blocked just to create a diagonal corner.
問The fixed wealth position and the annual wealth position are different—which one should I follow?
They are different concepts. First confirm each method, its year, and the data it requires; you cannot simply claim one is more accurate because its position is more convenient for placing objects.
問Must a wealth position always have water or a fish tank?
Not necessarily, and there is no income guarantee. Priority should be given to load-bearing capacity, electrical use, water leakage, and caregiving needs; practical constraints should not be ignored for the sake of traditional symbolism.
